MA(BS)21A&B/P.1 (03/202212/2024) Completion Instructions Return of International Banking Statistics Form MA(BS)21 Introduction

1. This return consists of two parts: Part I Locational Banking Statistics (LBS) and Part II Consolidated Banking Statistics (CBS). Authorized institutions (AIs) are required to report both Part I and Part II according to the completion instructions below. The completion instructions were prepared based on the Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS) Guidelines for reporting the BIS international banking statistics issued in March 2013July 2019 (the BIS Guidelines) available on the BIS website (www.bis.org).
2. Part I LBS collects information on AIs’ liabilities and claims according to the residence of counterparty. Data in aggregate form will be reported to the BIS as part of an international cooperative effort to compile and publish worldwide data on jurisdiction exposures for the purpose of monitoring cross-border capital flows. The aggregate data are also used for compiling and evaluating the coverage of the balance of payments and external debt statistics.
3. Part II CBS collects information on AIs’ exposures and liabilities to both local and foreign counterparties which also take into account where the ultimate risk lies for assessing credit risk exposures by jurisdiction. Data in aggregate form will be reported to the BIS for compiling and publishing worldwide data. Part II CBS is subdivided into two subsets: Parts IIA and IIB.

• Part IIA on immediate Riskcounterparty basis is to be reported by all AIs.
• Part IIA on Supplementary data on funding sources and Part IIB on Ultimate Riskguarantor basis are to be completed reported by all licensed banks incorporated in Hong Kong. Section A: General Instructions

4. All AIs are required to complete Part I of this return showing the liability and asset positions of their Hong Kong offices as at the last calendar day of each quarter. The return should be submitted not later than one month after the end of each reporting quarter.
5. All AIs are required to report Part II of this return based on the position as at the last calendar day of each quarter. The detailed reporting requirements of Part II are as follows:

MA(BS)21A&B/P.2 (03/202212/2024) Part IIA Data on an immediate riskcounterparty basis and risk transfers Coverage Reporting frequency and submission deadline All AIs Position of the Hong Kong offices Quarterly; not later than one month after the end of each reporting quarter Licensed banks incorporated in Hong Kong Consolidated position in addition to Hong Kong office position above. Consolidated position should include all branches and subsidiaries worldwideas set out in section 4 of the Banking (Capital) Rules (BCR). Quarterly; not later than 6 weeks after the end of each reporting quarter Part IIA Supplementary data on funding sources Coverage Reporting frequency and submission deadline Licensed banks incorporated in Hong Kong Consolidated position only and it should include all branches and subsidiaries worldwide Consolidated position as set out in section 4 of the BCR. Quarterly; not later than 6 weeks after the end of each reporting quarter Part IIB Data on an ultimate riska guarantor basis Coverage Reporting frequency and submission deadline Licensed banks incorporated in Hong Kong Consolidated position only and it should include all branches and subsidiaries worldwide Consolidated position as set out in section 4 of the BCR. Quarterly; not later than 6 weeks after the end of each reporting quarter 6. If the submission deadline falls on a public holiday, it will be deferred to the next working day. 7. Amounts should be shown to the nearest million, in HK$ or HK$ equivalents in the case of foreign currency items. The closing middle market T/T rates prevailing at the reporting date should be used for conversion purpose. Where claims are acquired at less than their nominal value, the discounted value should be shown. 8. Part I LBS and Part II CBS should be reported according to the status of the counterparty and his address. This means, in the case of a company with branches, the business address of the office with which the reporting AI has claims on/liabilities to, and in the case of an individual, his home address. Temporary or correspondence addresses should be disregarded. In the LBS, positions that cannot be allocated to specific jurisdictions may be reported as either “unallocated location” [5M] if the residence of the counterparty

MA(BS)21A&B/P.3 (03/202212/2024) is unknown, or “unallocated non-residents” [5Y] if the residence of the counterparty is known to be outside the reporting jurisdiction. In the CBS, all claims/liabilities which cannot be classified into a particular jurisdiction should be reported in aggregate under the “Unallocated (5M)” category. 9. Treatments of arrears, provisions and write-offs:  Arrears of interest and principal: Until they are written off, arrears should be included in the claims and liabilities under the respective instruments, whenever it is possible.  Provisions: Financial claims against which provisions have been made are normally reported as claims at their gross value. That is, provisions should not be netted from the claim positions.  Write-offs of claims and debt forgiveness: Although an asset which has been written off may still be a legally enforceable claim, the items which have been written off should be excluded from the reported data. This is because the writing-off process can be seen as reflecting the judgement that the current or prospective value of the claim is zero. 10. Valuation principles In general, claims should be valued at market prices. The exception to this is the case of loans, which should be valued in accordance with the reporting jurisdiction’s accounting standards and in principle at nominal (or contractual) values. For liabilities, in general, nominal (or contractual) values rather than market values should be reported. The currency of denomination is the currency specified in the contract that determines the value of flows and positions. The currency of denomination may be different from the currency of settlement. Cash flows are determined using the currency of denomination and, if necessary, converted into another currency for the purpose of settlement. For example, if a currency-linked bond is issued and payable in Brazilian reais (BRL) but coupon and principal payments are calculated with reference to the USDBRL exchange rate, then the denomination is USD even though the payments are settled in BRL. Position should in principle be reported on a gross basis, and not net of liabilities. In other words, claims and liabilities vis-à-vis the same counterparty should be reported separately and not netted against each other. An exception is made for some types of derivatives instruments. Reporting of financial claims and liabilities resulting from derivative instruments should in principle be consistent with the “replacement value”, when compliant with accounting standards used to produce the balance sheet. In the LBS, derivatives should be reported on a gross basis, before taking into account any netting agreements. All derivatives instruments with a positive market value should be treated as claims and those with a negative market value as liabilities. The currency denomination should be the currency in which the derivatives are to be redeemed or settled. Reporting of “net positions” is allowed only if the national accounting practice allows netting of multiple matching swaps (by currency and maturity) with the same counterparty that are covered under a legally enforceable netting agreement.Derivatives should be reported on a contractual, post-novation basis.

MA(BS)21A&B/P.4 (03/202212/2024) For swaps, the net market/fair value of each contract, where the “net” refers to the net present value of the “two legs” of a swap, should be reported. Financial derivatives other than swaps should be reported at gross market value. For derivatives contracts that involve multiple or two-way payments, such as swaps and forwards, the market value is the net present value of the payments to be exchanged by counterparties between the reference date and the contract’s maturity. In other words, forwards and swaps should be recorded as if they were one transaction and not two separate legs. For foreign exchange (FX) derivatives, the currency of denomination depends on the market value of the contract on the reference date. If an FX derivative is reported as an asset (i.e. the market value of the contract is positive), then the currency of denomination is the currency of the long leg: the currency received at maturity. If an FX derivative is recorded as a liability (i.e. the market value of the contract is negative), then the currency of denomination is the currency of the short leg: the currency paid at maturity. The switching between short and long positions reflects the bank’s net exposure to movements in the exchange rate. Section B: Specific Instructions for Part I: Locational Banking Statistics (LBS) 11. Part I LBS collects the liability and claim positions broken down by instrument, counterparty jurisdiction, counterparty sector and currency. AIs should report the positions of “total liabilities and claims”, “loans and deposits”, “debt securities” and “derivatives” in separate tables, all with a crossing of the counterparty jurisdiction and counterparty sector. AIs should also provide a currency breakdown of each of these positions in Hong Kong dollar, US dollar, Euro, Japanese yen, Pound sterling, Swiss franc, Renminbi, plus a residual category. There are 2432 tables in total and the detailed structure of these tables is as follows: Table Structure: Part I of MA(BS)21 Currencies Instrument types Total liabilities and claims Of which: Loans and deposits Debt securities Derivatives Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Table A1 Table B1 Table C1 Table D1 US Dollar (USD) Table A2 Table B2 Table C2 Table D2 Euro (EUR) Table A3 Table B3 Table C3 Table D3 Japanese Yen (JPY) Table A4 Table B4 Table C4 Table D4 Pound Sterling (GBP) Table A5 Table B5 Table C5 Table D5 Swiss Franc (CHF) Table A6 Table B6 Table C6 Table D6 Renminbi (CNY) Table A7 Table B7 Table C7 Table D7 Other currencies Table A8 Table B8 Table C8 Table D8

MA(BS)21A&B/P.5 (03/202212/2024) 12. AIs should provide a counterparty-jurisdiction breakdown of their liability and claim positions according to the location of counterparty (i.e. residency of counterparty), and not according to the jurisdiction of incorporation. For example, a claim on the London branch of a United States bank should be reported as a claim on the United Kingdom, and not on the United States. In the return form, no entry is required for cells and columns highlighted in grey colour. The amounts reported for All jurisdictions (5J), Total external positions (i.e. Total of section 1 and 2) (5Z), Developed economies (5R), Offshore centres (1N), Developing Europe (3C), Developing Latin America and Caribbean (4U), Developing Africa and Middle East (4W) and Developing Asia and Pacific (4Y) should be calculated from amounts reported for jurisdictions shown in Annex 4. 13. For the purposes of Part I LBS: (i) “Liabilities” refer to all domestic and external liabilities of the reporting AI. These may include, for example:  equities, securities and capital instruments (e.g. perpetual and subordinated debts) issued by the institution and they should be allocated by jurisdiction, as far as feasible, on the basis of the residence of current holder. If it is difficult to determine the residence of current holder, the place of issue can be used as a proxy;  all accrued interest payable on the domestic and external liabilities. For note-issuing banks, banknotes issued by themselves, which are equivalent to item 4 in MA(BS)1, should not be included. (ii) “Claims” refer to all domestic and external assets of the reporting AI. These may include, for example:  domestic and foreign currency banknotes which should be reported as claims on the issuer, usually the central bank of the jurisdiction of issue;  equities, debt securities, and capital instruments (e.g. perpetual and subordinated debts);  accrued interest and overdue interest on a domestic or external claim except those credited to interest in suspense account;  items in the course of collection which represent a claim on an obligor. Holdings of fixed assets and gold should not be included. For note-issuing banks, holdings of Certificates of Indebtedness as cover for their issued banknotes, which are equivalent to item 13 in MA(BS)1, should not be

MA(BS)21A&B/P.6 (03/202212/2024) included. (iii) “Loans” should comprise those financial assets which are created through the lending of funds by a creditor (lender) to a debtor (borrower) and which are not represented by negotiable securities. “Deposits” should comprise all claims reflecting evidence of deposit (including non-negotiable certificates of deposit) which are not represented by negotiable securities. “Loans and deposits” should include interbank borrowings and loans, inter-office balances, foreign trade-related credits, sale and repurchase transactions (repos), and borrowing and lending of securities and gold with cash collateral. The cash collateral should be regarded as a collateralised deposit/loan and reported under the loans and deposits according to the location of the counterparty to the transaction. Transactions without cash collateral should not be reported. Securities which have been lent should remain as the reporting AI’s assets while securities which have been borrowed should not be reported as the reporting AI’s assets. The reporting AI’s holdings of notes and coins in domestic and foreign currencies, which belong to the asset side, should be recorded as claims on central banks under loans and deposits. Funds received by the reporting AI from residents or non-residents on a trust basis represent liabilities under loans and deposits. Funds deposited with residents or non-residents on a trust basis in the reporting AI’s own name but on behalf of third parties represent claims under the loans and deposits. Working capital supplied by head offices to their branches abroad should also be recorded as claims under loans and deposits, and not under other assets and liabilities. Working capital received by local branches from their head offices abroad should be recorded as liabilities under loans and deposits, and not under other assets and liabilities. Loans which have become negotiable de facto should be classified under debt securities. For trade-related credits granted directly by a reporting AI to a domestic exporter, these credits may be extended on the basis of a trade bill which is drawn by the exporter on the importer and subsequently acquired by the reporting AI. These credits may therefore be treated as external or domestic assets depending on whether the residence of the drawee (who is the final debtor) or of the presenter of the bill (who has guaranteed payment by endorsing the bill) is used as the criterion for geographical allocation. For the purpose of this return, these credits should be allocated according to the residence of the drawee, but not the presenter of the bill. (iv) “Debt securities” comprise all negotiable short- and long-term debt instruments, including negotiable certificates of deposit, but excluding equity shares, investment fund units and warrants.  The claim side of debt securities (i.e. holdings of debt securities) should include those held in the reporting AI’s own names and those held on behalf of third parties as part of trustee business. They should not include debt securities held on a purely custodial basis for customers (i.e. positions not in the reporting AI’s own name) and debt securities acquired in the context of securities lending transactions without cash collateral.

MA(BS)21A&B/P.7 (03/202212/2024)  The liability side of debt securities (i.e. own issues of debt securities) should comprise liabilities in all negotiable short- and long-term debt securities, including negotiable certificates of deposit, subordinated issues and issues in the reporting AI’s own name but on behalf of third parties. AIs should report their liability positions of debt securities vis-à￾vis banks and non-bank customers (i.e. columns (1) and (4)). A breakdown into related offices, official monetary authorities, non-bank financial institutions and other non-bank customers (i.e. columns (2), (3), (5) and (6)) is not required.  The liability side of debt securities should be allocated by jurisdiction, as far as feasible, on the basis of the residence of current holder. If it is difficult to determine the residence of current holder, the place of issue can be used as a proxy. (v) “Derivatives” comprise financial instruments that are linked to another financial instrument, indicator or commodity and through which financial risks (e.g. interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, commodity price, or credit risk) can be traded in their own right in financial markets. (v)(vi) “Liabilities of which maturity ≤ 12 months” refer to the reporting AI’s own issues of debt securities (including negotiable certificates of deposit, and subordinated issues and issues in its own name but on behalf of third parties) with a remaining maturity of up to and including 12 months. This column only applies to the liability side of debt securities. (vi)(vii) “Other claims and liabilities” are those residual claims and liabilities that are not included in loans and deposits, and debt securities and derivatives. Reporting AIs that find it administratively easier to do so may derive the jurisdiction breakdown of loans and deposits by obtaining a jurisdiction breakdown of other claims and liabilities and deducting them together with the jurisdiction breakdown of debt securities and derivatives from total claims and liabilities of each jurisdiction. “Other claims” mainly comprise equity securities (including mutual and investment fund units and holdings of shares in the reporting AI’s own name but on behalf of third parties), participations, derivatives recorded on the balance sheet with positive market value, and any other residual on-balance sheet financial claims. “Other liabilities” comprise mainly equity issuance, derivatives recorded on the balance sheet with negative market value, and any other residual on-balance sheet liabilities. Retained earnings (positive amount) should be regarded as other liabilities and should be allocated to the jurisdiction where the controlling parent institution is located. Negative retained earnings should be treated as claims vis-à-vis the controlling parent institution. The other liabilities should be allocated by jurisdiction, as far as feasible, on the basis of the residence of the holder. If it is difficult to determine the residence of current holder, the place of issue can be used as a proxy.

MA(BS)21A&B/P.8 (03/202212/2024) (vii)(viii) Arrears and accrued interest as well as principal in arrears should be included in the claims and liabilities under the respective instruments, whenever possible. Financial claims against which provisions have been made are normally reported as claims at their gross value. In other words, provisions should not be netted from the claim positions. Items which have been written off should be excluded from the reported data. (viii)(ix) “Banks” refer to institutions which are regarded as such by the appropriate supervisory authorities in their place of business (including AIs in Hong Kong). Money market funds, investment funds and pension funds are excluded. In addition, related offices and official monetary authorities, which include central banks, should be reported as “of-which” items under banks:  “Related offices” refer to entities that are part of the same banking group (i.e. have the same controlling parent entity). These include, for example, the controlling parent institution, the head office of the reporting AI, and branches or subsidiaries that are part of the consolidated reporting entity. As for reporting AI’s related offices located in Hong Kong, reporting AI should only report positions vis-à-vis those subsidiaries or controlling parent institutions which are authorised as different AIs.  “Official monetary authorities” refer to central banks (Annex 1) or similar national and international bodies, such as BIS and European Central Bank (ECB). Banks’ holding of notes and coins should be recorded as claims on official monetary authorities. (This is in contrast to Part II CBS of this return, where central banks and other official monetary authorities are reported as “Official sector”.) (ix)(x) “Non-bank customers” are the sum of non-bank financial institutions and other non-bank customers:  “Non-bank financial institutions” refer to private or public financial institutions, other than banks, engaged primarily in the provision of financial services and activities auxiliary to financial intermediation such as fund management. These include special purpose vehicles, hedge funds, securities brokers, money market funds, pension funds, insurance companies, financial leasing corporations, central clearing counterparties, unit trusts, other financial auxiliaries and other captive financial institutions. These also include any public financial institutions such as development banks and export credit agencies. For example, the Hong Kong Mortgage Corporation Limited is classified as a non-bank financial institution.  “Other non-bank customers” refer to entities other than banks and non￾bank financial institutions. These include, but not limited to, the general government sector, non-financial corporations, and households including non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs). Any positions for which the sector of the counterparty is unknown should be classified as other non-bank customers.

MA(BS)21A&B/P.9 (03/202212/2024)

• “General government” includes the central government, state government, local government and social security funds. In addition, it includes non-profit institutions engaged in non-market production that are controlled and mainly financed by government units and social security funds. For the purposes of Part I LBS, central banks, other official monetary authorities and public corporations are not part of the general government sector.
• “Non-financial corporations” refer to privately and publicly owned corporations as well as unincorporated enterprises that function as if they were corporations, such as partnerships and the branches of foreign corporations.
• “Households including non-profit institutions serving households (NPISHs)” refer to individuals, families, unincorporated enterprises owned by households, and non-profit institutions serving households such as charities, religious institutions, trade unions and consumer associations. (xi) “International organisations (1C)” are considered to be resident in an economic territory of their own, and not of the economy in which they are physically located.  In the counterparty jurisdiction dimension, AIs’ positions on international organisations should not be assigned to the jurisdiction where the organisation is located but rather should be reported as a distinct entry: “international organisations”. There are exceptions to the treatment of international organisations: the BIS and central banks of currency unions. International organisations that undertake activities similar to those of central banks should be reported as residents of the jurisdiction where they are located. In particular, the BIS should be reported as a resident of Switzerland; the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) as a resident of Cameroon; the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) as a resident of Senegal; the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) as a resident of St Kitts and Nevis; and the European Central Bank (ECB) as a resident of Germany.  They refer to those International organisations listed in Annex 2 and should be classified as non-bank financial institutions and other non￾bank customers according to than those considered as central banks do not need to be allocated by sector (refer to Annex 2 for the list of international organisations). They may include organisations not listed in Annex 2 but are regarded as such by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. However, the BIS and ECB should not be included in “International organisations”, but classified as official monetary authorities located in Switzerland and Germany respectively.

14. Liabilities and claims to be reported in the Part I LBS should be cross referenced to the relevant items in the Return of Assets and Liabilities for Hong Kong Offices (Form MA(BS)l). Details are given in Annex 3.

MA(BS)21A&B/P.10 (03/202212/2024) Section C : Specific Instructions for Part II: Consolidated Banking Statistics (CBS) 15. The CBS captures the Hong Kong office position as well as consolidated position of the reporting AI’s worldwide offices (including the positions of the reporting AI’s foreign subsidiaries and branches). In this section, head office, subsidiaries and branches of the reporting AI are collectively referred to as either “the reporting AI” or “the reporting AI offices”. 16. The statistics comprise two subsets, compiled on different bases: Part IIA CBS immediate riskcounterparty basis (CBS/IRCBSI): Claims are allocated to the jurisdiction of residence of the immediate counterparty. The data cover on-balance sheet financial claims, risk transfers and certain liabilities of the reporting AI. Part IIB CBS Ultimate riskguarantor basis (CBS/URCBSG): Claims are allocated to the jurisdiction where the final risk lies. The data cover on-balance sheet financial claims as well as some off-balance sheet exposures of the reporting AI. 17. Composition of claims in the CBS In general, claims should comprise all items that represent an on-balance sheet financial asset. Claims should include the following financial assets: deposits and balances placed with banks; loans and advances; trade-related credits; holdings of securities, including certificates of deposit, promissory notes, collateralised debt obligations and asset-backed securities; holdings of notes and coins; loans or other claim positions funded with claims under sale and repurchase agreements; and participations, including equity holdings in non-bank subsidiaries. Lending of securities, gold and other precious metals without cash collateral should not be reported as claims. Derivatives contracts should be excluded from claims in the IRCBSI, being consistent with that in the URCBSG, where derivatives contracts with a positive market value, i.e. “derivatives claims” are reported separately. 18. Definitions on “Total claims” Total claims comprise (i) international claims in all currencies and (ii) local claims in local currency, where international claims are the sum of cross-border claims in all currencies and local claims in foreign currencies. Cross-border claims refer to positions where the jurisdiction in which the counterparty is located, being different from that where the reporting AI office that grants or extends the claim is located. Local claims refer to positions vis-à-vis residents of the jurisdiction where the reporting AI office that books the claim is located. 19. Reporting basis and coverage of AIs  All AIs are required to report the CBS/IRCBSI on their Hong Kong office position With reference to paragraph 18, they should report international claims booked by their office in Hong Kong comprising:

MA(BS)21A&B/P.11 (03/202212/2024) i) all cross-border claims, and ii) all local claims (on Hong Kong residents) in foreign currencies.  Locally incorporated licensed banks are required to report in the CBS/IRCBSI their consolidated position, in addition to their Hong Kong office position stated above. With reference to paragraph 18, they should report international claims and local claims booked by their worldwide offices on a consolidated basis comprising: i) all cross-border claims, and ii) all local claims (i.e. including local claims booked by their worldwide offices and local claims booked by their Hong Kong offices). (See paragraphs 28 – 36 below for reporting on consolidated basis)  Perimeter of consolidation: Locally incorporated licensed banks should report on the basis of prudential perimeter of consolidation instead of accounting perimeter of consolidation. The prudential perimeter captures the risk of the whole banking group. All entities conducting banking, securities and other similar activities that are ancillary to the business of banking, and that are majority-owned or otherwise controlled by the group – irrespective of whether the entities are regulated – should be within the consolidation perimeter. Insurance entities as well as non-financial commercial entities are explicitly excluded from the prudential perimeter. For the avoidance of doubt, a reporting AI should follow section 4 of the BCR in reporting the consolidated position. 20. International organisations in Annex 2 should be reported in “International organisations (1C)” and should not be allocated to any specific counterparty jurisdiction. Please refer to Annex 2 for details. The amounts reported for All jurisdictions (5J), Developed economies (5R), Offshore centres (1N), Developing Europe (3C), Developing Latin America and Caribbean (4U), Developing Africa and Middle East (4W) and Developing Asia and Pacific (4Y) should be calculated from amounts reported for jurisdictions shown in Annex 4. 21. Some examples on the reporting of specific transactions under the CBS/IRCBSI and the CBS/URCBSG bases are included in Annex 5. Part IIA : Consolidated Banking Statistics - immediate riskcounterparty basis (CBS/IRCBSI) Hong Kong office position (for reporting by all AIs) 22. Column (1) Total claims Total claims in column (1) with counterparty jurisdiction breakdown should be equal to the amount reported for international claims in column (2). 23. Column (2) International claims

MA(BS)21A&B/P.12 (03/202212/2024) With reference to paragraphs 18 and 19, this column should include cross-border claims in all currencies and local claims (on Hong Kong residents) in foreign currencies with counterparty jurisdiction breakdown. 24. Columns (3) to (6) International claims by remaining maturity Columns (3) to (6) should be reported on the basis of remaining maturities of the international claims, i.e. the time remaining to final payment of the relevant claim. Claims with scheduled payments such as loans should be reported according to the time remaining to final payment, i.e. the residual maturity of the final payment or instalment. Claims that cannot be classified by maturity such as equity should be assigned to the category of “unallocated”. For the purposes of this section, overdue claims and claims that are repayable on demand should be allocated to the “up to and including one year” maturity bracket. Please refer to Annex 6 of the completion instructions for the details of maturity breakdown below. column (3) = remaining maturity up to and including 1 year column (4) = remaining maturity over 1 year and up to and including 2 years column (5) = remaining maturity over 2 years column (6) = remaining maturity unallocated by maturity Sum of columns (3) to (6) should be equal to the column (2) International claims.

25. Columns (7) to (12) International claims by sector The reporting AI should report the international claims by sector breakdown and report in the appropriate columns (7) to (12) accordingly. Please refer to Annex 6 of the completion instructions for the definitions of each sector below. column (7) = international claims on banks column (8) = international claims on official sector column (9) = international claims on non-bank private sector, which is equal to the sum of amounts reported in column (10) non-bank financial institutions and column (11) non-financial private sector column (12) = international claims on unallocated by sector Sum of columns (7), (8), (9) and (12) international claims by sector should be equal to the column (2) International claims.
26. Columns (15) to (17) Risk transfers The reporting AI can offset its total exposure to a particular jurisdiction using a variety of credit risk mitigants (CRMs), which include guarantees, collateral and credit derivatives. If the use of these CRMs reduces the reporting AI’s exposure to a particular jurisdiction by effectively transferring the risk to a different jurisdiction, these should be reported as risk transfers. If the residence of the immediate counterparty is different

MA(BS)21A&B/P.13 (03/202212/2024) from the residence of the ultimate obligor, the reporting AI should provide information about risk transfers associated with their claims in the IRCBSI. That is, the AI should report the amount of claims for which the residence of the IR is different from the residence of the ultimate obligor. The jurisdiction where the ultimate risk lies is defined as the jurisdiction of residence of the ultimate obligor. Specifically, it is the jurisdiction where the guarantor of a financial claim resides or the parent of a legally dependent branch or affiliate is located. Criteria for recognising risk transfers: For the CBS, the criteria for recognising risk transfers follow those set out in BCR for recognising credit risk mitigants. Risk transfers include parent guarantees to branches, explicit guarantees by parents and third parties, collateral and credit derivatives.  Parent guarantees to branches: Branches are always considered as being guaranteed by their immediate parent if it has provided, even in the absence of an explicit guarantee. In contrast, claims on branches should, for the purposes of  Explicit guarantees from parents to subsidiaries or from third parties: Guarantees must be explicit, direct, irrevocable (i.e. they must not be unconditionally cancellable by the CBS, always beguarantor), and legally enforceable in all relevant jurisdictions. Exposures to subsidiaries are not considered as being guaranteed by the respective parent, even if unless there is no legalan explicit guarantee. Claims guaranteed by parties in different jurisdictions should be transferred to the jurisdiction of each guarantor according to the amounts being guaranteed. In case where the guarantors' liabilities are joint and several, the transfer of risk to the jurisdiction of the guarantors should be reported at the reporting AI’s best estimation. Collateral of a claim may be considered as an indicator of where the final risk of the claim lies to the extent that it is recognised as a CRM according to the Banking (Capital) Rules of Hong Kong or a recognised collateral under various approaches of credit risk mitigation in the Basel Capital Accord document.  Collateral are assets pledged to hedge in whole or in part credit risk exposures in AIs’ balance sheets. For collateral to provide credit protection, the AI must have the right to liquidate or take legal possession of it in a timely manner in the event of default, and the credit quality of the immediate counterparty and the value of the collateral must not have a material positive correlation. Securities bought under reverse repurchase agreements are considered as having the same characteristics as collateral and should therefore be treated as collateral.  Credit derivatives are credit protection bought to hedge credit risk exposures in AIs’ banking book. Credit default swaps, total return swaps and other credit derivatives can be recognised as risk transfers only if they provide credit protection similar to explicit guarantees. Credit derivatives held in AIs’ trading book are not recognised as risk transfers. In the CBS, derivatives should be reported on a net basis whereby derivative assets and liabilities are offset if they meet the condition for netting, i.e. a legally enforceable

MA(BS)21A&B/P.14 (03/202212/2024) master netting agreement with the same counterparty. However, if credit derivatives are used to mitigate the counterparty risk associated with claims in the banking book, the jurisdiction of ultimate risk of these positions is defined as the jurisdiction in which the counterparty of the credit derivatives contract resides. In this scenario, the gross notional value, without netting, of these positions should be reported. Similarly, in the case of holdings of credit-linked notes, other collateralised debt obligations and asset-backed securities, a “look-through” approach should be adopted and the jurisdiction of ultimate risk is defined as the jurisdiction where the debtor of the underlying credit, security or derivatives contract resides. For cases where the use of look-through approach are not possible in practice, the reporting AI may provide estimates for the allocation of claims to the jurisdiction where the underlying debtor resides or to allocate the claims to the jurisdiction of the immediate risk (which is the jurisdiction where the issuer of the securities resides). Information on the reallocation of claims should be reported separately for outward and inward risk transfers. In other words, outward reallocations that reduce exposure to a given counterparty jurisdiction should be reported in column (17) Outward risk transfer, separately from inward reallocations that increase exposure in column (16) Inward risk transfer. Outward and inward risk transfers should in principle add up to the same total. If risk remains in the jurisdiction of the IR, for example when risk is reallocated between different sectors but not outside the jurisdiction, then a risk transfer should not be reported. Please note that the amount of outward risk transfer of a claim should be smaller than or equal to the amount of the claim.

For the purpose of the CBS, the sector excludes central banks and multilateral development banks. Official sector The general government sector, central bank sector and international organisations that undertake activities similar to those of central banks (including multilateral development banks). Public non-bank financial institutions and public corporations should not be classified as “Official sector”, but rather should be classified as “Non-bank financial institutions” or “Non-financial private sector”, respectively. Claims on official institutions should be allocated to the respective jurisdictions of their residence. The only exception is for claims on international organisations, which are to be reported as a separate item in the counterparty jurisdiction breakdown. Central banks and international organisations are listed in Annexes 1 and 2 respectively. Non-bank private sector Sum of non-bank financial institutions and non-financial private sector. Non-bank financial institutions Private or public financial institutions, other than banks, engaged primarily in the provision of financial services and activities auxiliary to financial intermediation such as fund management. Includes special purpose vehicles, hedge funds, securities brokers, money market funds, pension funds, insurance companies, financial leasing corporations, central clearing counterparties, unit trusts, other financial auxiliaries and other captive financial institutions. It also includes any public financial institutions such as development banks and export credit agencies. Non-financial private sector The non-financial private sector includes privately and publicly owned corporations as well as unincorporated enterprises that function as if they were corporations, such as partnerships and the branches of foreign corporations. It also includes individuals, families, unincorporated enterprises owned by households, and non-profit institutions serving households such as charities, religious institutions, trade unions and consumer associations. Unallocated by sector Any positions for which the sector of the counterparty is unknown and international organisations other than those considered central banks. (Con’t overleaf)
