Part I – OVA 10
Part I: Key prudential ratios, overview of risk management and RWA
Table OVA: Overview of risk management
An AI should describe its risk management objectives and policies, in particular:
(a) (i) how the business model determines and interacts with the overall risk profile (e.g. the key risks related to the business model and how each of these risks is reflected and described in the risk disclosures); and (ii) how the risk profile of the AI interacts with the risk tolerance approved by the board. (b) the risk governance structure:
(i) the responsibilities attributed throughout the AI (e.g. oversight and delegation of authority; breakdown of responsibilities by type of risk, business unit, etc.); and (ii) the relationships between the structures involved in risk management processes (e.g. board of directors, senior management, separate risk committees, risk management function, compliance function, internal audit function). (c) the channels to communicate, decline and enforce the risk culture within the AI (e.g. code of conduct; manuals containing operating limits or procedures to treat violations or breaches of risk limits; procedures to raise and share risk issues between business lines and risk functions). (d) the scope and main features of risk measurement systems. (e) a description of the process of risk information reporting provided to the board and senior management, in particular the scope and main content of reporting on risk exposure. (f) qualitative information on stress testing (e.g. portfolios subject to stress testing, scenarios adopted and methodologies used, and use of stress testing in risk management). (g) (i) the strategies and processes to manage, hedge and mitigate risks that arise from the AI’s business model; and (ii) the processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges and mitigants for those risks. Purpose: To provide a description of risk management objectives and policies and how the board of directors and senior management assess and manage risks, enabling users to gain a clear understanding of the risk tolerance and appetite in relation to the main activities and all significant risks. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Qualitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR

Part I – KM1 11
Template KM1: Key prudential ratios
Purpose: To provide an overview of an AI’s key prudential ratios.
Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Key prudential ratios related to regulatory capital and buffers, leverage ratio and liquidity standards. An AI should disclose each ratio’s value using the corresponding specifications pursuant to the BCR and BLR, for the current reporting period (designated as T in the template below) as well as the four previous quarterly reporting periods (designated as T-1 to T-4 respectively). As Hong Kong does not provide any transitional arrangements for implementation of expected credit loss provisioning under HKFRS 9, information in this template is disclosed on the basis of “fully-loaded” provisioning. Metrics designated as “prefloor” are before the adjustment of output floor (if applicable) and hence may not reflect actual values used for capital requirement computation. Frequency: Quarterly. Format: Fixed. If an AI wishes to add rows to provide additional regulatory or financial ratios, it should provide definitions for these ratios and a full explanation of how the ratios are calculated (including the scope of consolidation and the regulatory capital used if relevant). The additional ratios should not replace the prudential ratios in this template. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should explain the key drivers (e.g. whether the changes are due to changes in the regulatory framework, group structure or business model) behind any material changes across reporting periods for each ratio’s value in a narrative commentary. Corresponding BDR

For clarity, RWA and capital requirement of a CIS calculated only under the look-through approach and third-party approach are reported under row 12. 15 Settlement risk: RWA and capital requirements for the exposures arising from the following items:
(i) Transactions in securities, cryptoassets, foreign exchange, and commodities that are entered into on a delivery-versus-payment basis and remain outstanding for 5 or more business days after the settlement date, calculated in accordance with the risk-weight allocated to the exposures as specified in the BCR; and (ii) Transactions in securities, cryptoassets, foreign exchange, and commodities that are entered into on a nondelivery-versus-payment basis and remain unsettled after the settlement date, calculated in accordance with the risk-weight allocated to the exposures as specified in the BCR. 16 Securitization exposures in banking book: The amounts correspond to capital requirements applicable to the securitization exposures in the banking book (Part V of this document). The RWA should be derived from the capital requirements (including the impact of the cap specified in the BCR), meaning that they do not necessarily systematically correspond to the RWA reported in Templates SEC3 and SEC4, which are before the application of the cap. 17 Of which SEC-IRBA: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the SEC-IRBA under the BCR. 18 Of which SEC-ERBA (including IAA): RWA and capital requirements calculated using the SEC-ERBA (including those exposures that the AI uses IAA to determine the risk-weights) under the BCR. 19 Of which SEC-SA: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the SEC-SA under the BCR. 19a Of which SEC-FBA: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the SEC-FBA under the BCR. 20 Market risk: The amounts correspond to the RWA and capital requirements in the market risk framework (Part VI and Part XII of this document), which also includes capital charges for securitization exposures booked in the trading book and the infrastructure risk add-on for group 1 cryptoasset exposures that are assigned to the trading book, but excludes the capital charges for counterparty credit risk, default fund contributions and CVA risk associated with covered positions (reported in Part IV and Part IVA of this document and in rows 6 and 10 of this template). An AI should derive the market risk RWAs by multiplying the market risk capital requirements by 12.5. 21 Of which STM approach: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the STM approach under the BCR, including capital charges for securitization exposures booked in the trading book. The value in [OV1:21/c] is equal to the value in [MR1:1213/a]. 22 Of which IMA: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the IMA under the BCR. The value in [OV1:22/c] is equal to the value in [MR2:16 minus MR2:13]. 22a Of which SSTM approach: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the SSTM approach under the BCR.

Part I – OV1 20
Explanatory Note
23 Capital charge for moving exposures between trading book and banking book: Outstanding accumulated capital surcharge imposed on the AI in accordance with the market risk framework in the BCR when the total capital charge (across banking book and trading book) of an AI is reduced as a result of the instruments being moved between the trading book and the banking book after their initial assignment. The outstanding accumulated capital surcharge takes into account any adjustment due to run-off as the positions mature or expire, in a manner agreed with the MA. 24 Operational risk: The amounts correspond to capital requirements in the operational risk framework specified in the BCR. 24a Sovereign concentration risk: The amounts correspond to capital requirements in the sovereign concentration risk framework specified in the BCR. 25 Amounts below the thresholds for deduction (subject to 250% RW): The amounts correspond to items subject to a 250% risk-weight pursuant to the BCR. 26 Output floor level applied: the output floor level (expressed as a percentage) applied by the AI in accordance with the BCR in its computation of the floor adjustment value in row 27. An AI not subject to the output floor requirement may report “Not applicable” or “N/A” in this row. 27 Floor adjustment (before application of transitional cap): The impact of the output floor, based on the output floor level applied in row 26, in terms of the increase in RWA. A transitional cap that limits the RWA increase resulting from the application of the output floor is not applicable to Hong Kong. 28 This row is not applicable in the case of Hong Kong. 28a Deduction to RWA: This is the sum of values in rows 28b and 28c. 28b Of which portion of regulatory reserve for general banking risks and collective provisions which is not included in Tier 2 Capital: This row is only applicable for an AI using the STC, BSC, SEC-SA, SEC-ERBA or SEC-FBA approach for calculating credit risk for all or part of its exposures. It refers to and has the same calculation basis as the amount reported in item 2.12(i), Division A, Part I of CAR return MA(BS)3. 28c Of which portion of cumulative fair value gains arising from the revaluation of land and buildings which is not included in Tier 2 Capital: It refers to and has the same calculation basis as the amount reported in item 2.12(ii), Division A, Part I of CAR return MA(BS)3. 29 Total: This is equal to the sum of values in rows 1, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 14a, 15, 16, 20, 23, 24, 24a, 25 and 27, minus the deduction value in row 28a.

Part II: Linkages between financial statements and regulatory exposures
Template LI1: Differences between accounting and regulatory scopes of consolidation and mapping of financial statement categories with regulatory risk categories Purpose: To provide information on assets and liabilities to enable users to identify the differences between the scope of accounting consolidation and the scope of regulatory consolidation, with a breakdown into regulatory risk categories of every item of the assets and liabilities reported in financial statements based on the scope of accounting consolidation. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Carrying values (corresponding to the values reported in financial statements). Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible, but the rows should align with the presentation of the AI’s financial statements. Accompanying narrative: As set out in Table LIA. An AI should provide qualitative explanation on items that are subject to regulatory capital charges in more than one risk category. Corresponding BDR section: 16D

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a) and
(b)
Carrying values as reported in published financial statements / under scope of regulatory consolidation: If an AI’s scope of accounting consolidation and its scope of regulatory consolidation are exactly the same, columns (a) and (b) should be merged and this fact should be clearly disclosed. (c) to (f) Carrying values of items: The breakdown of regulatory categories in columns (c) to (f) corresponds to the breakdown prescribed in the rest of this document:-

column (c) corresponds to the carrying values of items (other than OBS items) reported in Part III and Part XII;
column (d) corresponds to the carrying values of items (other than OBS items) reported in Part IV;
column (e) corresponds to the carrying values of items in the banking book (other than OBS items) reported in Part V; and
column (f) corresponds to the carrying values of items (other than OBS items) reported in Part VI, and Part IVA and Part XII.
Where a single item attracts capital charges according to the risk frameworks for more than one risk category, it should be reported in all the relevant columns of risk categories. An example could be where assets/liabilities arising from derivative contracts held in the regulatory trading book are related to both column (d) (subject to capital charge for default risk exposure) and column (f) (subject to capital charge for market risk exposure) calculation thus the sum of the values in column (c) to (g) may not equal the value in column (b). Similarly, where the amount subject to such double counting (i.e. disclosed in two or more different columns) results in a material variance between the value in column (b) and the sum of values in columns (c) to (g), an AI should provide the reasons in the accompanying narrative. (g) Carrying values of items not subject to capital requirements or subject to deduction from capital: Column (g) includes amounts not subject to capital requirements according to the BCR or subject to deductions from regulatory capital. Elements which are deducted from the AI’s regulatory capital (e.g. goodwill, intangible assets, deferred tax assets) are to be included in column (g), taking into consideration the different thresholds that apply where relevant. Rows All The rows should strictly follow the balance sheet presentation used by the AI in its year-end financial statements.

Columns
(a) Total: the values reported in column (a) may not necessarily equal the sum of values in columns (b) to (e), as some items may be subject to regulatory capital charges in more than one risk category, and other items not subject to capital requirements or subject to deduction from capital may be also included in values reported in this column. The following linkage holds:- values in column (a) in LI2 = Values in column (b) in LI1 minus values in column (g) in LI1. (b) Items subject to credit risk framework: the exposures reported in Part III and Part XII of this document. (c) Items subject to securitization framework: the exposures reported in Part V of this document. (d) Items subject to counterparty credit risk framework: the exposures reported in Part IV of this document. (e) Items subject to market risk framework: the exposures reported in Part VI, and Part IVA and Part XII of this document. Rows 1 Asset carrying value amount under scope of regulatory consolidation (as per Template LI1): the value reported in columns (b) to (e) of this row should correspond to the values reported in columns (c) to (f) of row ‘total assets’, of Template LI1. 2 Liabilities carrying value amount under regulatory scope of consolidation (as per Template LI1): the value reported in columns (b) to (e) of this row should correspond to the values reported in columns (c) to (f) of row ‘total liabilities’, of Template LI1. 3 Total net amount under regulatory scope of consolidation: all values in this row are derived from the subtraction of the respective values in row 1 and row 2. 4 Off-balance sheet amounts: these include original exposures of OBS items, prior to the application of CCFs in column (a), and the amounts subject to the respective regulatory frameworks, after application of the CCFs where relevant, in columns (b) to (d). 5 to N-1 Row headings shown in rows 5 to N-1 in above are provided for illustrative purposes only and should be adapted by the AI to describe the most meaningful drivers for differences between its financial statement carrying values and the exposure amounts considered for regulatory purposes.

Part II – LI2 27
7 Differences due to consideration of provisions: the exposure values under row 1 are the carrying amounts and hence net of provisions (ie specific and collective provisions). Nevertheless, exposures under the IRB approachFIRB approach and AIRB approach are risk-weighted gross of provisions. Row 7 therefore is the re-inclusion of collective and specific provisions in the carrying amount of exposures in the IRB approachFIRB approach and AIRB approach so that the carrying amount of those exposures is reconciled with their regulatory exposure value. Row 7 may also include the elements qualifying as collective provisions that may have been deducted from the carrying amount of exposures under the STC approach and that therefore need to be reintegrated in the regulatory exposure value of those exposures. Any differences between the accounting provisions and the regulatory provisions that have an impact on the exposure amounts considered for regulatory purposes should also be included in row 7. N Exposure amounts considered for regulatory purposes: the row designates the aggregate amount considered as a ‘starting point’ of the RWA calculation (post CCF and CRM) for each of the risk categories. This should correspond either to the exposure amount applied in the STC approach, in the BSC approach or to the EAD in the IRB approach under the credit risk framework; the exposure amount of any securitization exposure under the securitization framework; and the default risk exposure or EAD under the counterparty credit risk framework.

An AI should explain the sources of differences from financial statements amounts to regulatory exposure amounts, as displayed in Templates LI1 and LI2. In particular, the AI should:
(a) explain the derivation of any material differences between the amounts in columns (a) and (b) in Template LI1; (b) explain the main drivers for the differences between accounting values and amounts considered for regulatory purposes shown in Template LI2; (c) describe its systems and controls to ensure that the valuation estimates are prudent and reliable for the purposes of implementing the guidance on prudent valuation. The AI should provide a description of the following:
(i) Valuation methodologies, including a description of the extent of use of marking-to-market methodology and of a marking-to-model methodology; (ii) Independent price verification process; and (iii) Procedures for considering valuation adjustments or reserves, including a description of the process and the methodology for valuing trading positions by type of instrument. (d) The AI with insurance subsidiaries must disclose:
(i) the national regulatory approach used with respect to insurance entities in determining an AI's reported capital positions (i.e. deduction of investments in insurance subsidiaries); and (ii) any surplus capital in insurance subsidiaries recognised when calculating the bank's capital adequacy.

Template PV1: Prudent valuation adjustments
Purpose: To provide a detailed breakdown of the constituent elements of valuation adjustment. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Valuation adjustments for all assets measured at fair value (marked to market or marked to model), including non-derivative and derivative instruments, that an AI has actually considered and made for the purpose of BCR §4A. Frequency: Annual. Format: Fixed. For rows that are not applicable, “0” should be reported. An AI should explain the reason why such rows are not applicable in the accompanying narrative. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material movements in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such movements. In particular, an AI should provide details on “other adjustments” in row 11, where material, together with the definitions of those adjustment that are not listed in the Basel framework. An AI should also explain the types of financial instruments with the highest amounts of valuation adjustment recorded. Corresponding BDR

Rows
1 Close-out uncertainty, of which: valuation adjustments that reflect close-out uncertainty which include but not limited to the items reported in rows 2 to 4 below. 2 Mid-market value: valuation adjustment required to reflect an appropriate level of prudence given the range of plausible mid values that could be derived from available market data either for the instrument price or price of equivalent instrument or for each valuation input used in the relevant valuation model when this input has been calibrated from prices of instruments. 3 Close-out costs: valuation adjustment to take into account the valuation uncertainty where the position level resulted from the valuations may not reflect the exit price for such position or portfolio (for example, where such valuations are calibrated to a mid-market price). 4 Concentration: valuation adjustment required (over and above market price and close-out costs) to reach a prudent exit price for positions that are larger in terms of size as compared with the positions used for calculating the valuation (i.e. cases where the aggregate position held by an AI is larger than the normal traded volume or size of positions that formed the basis of observable quotes or trades that are applied to calibrate the price or inputs used by core valuation model). 5 Early termination: valuation adjustment to reflect potential losses which may arise from contractual or noncontractual early terminations of customer trades in the valuation. 6 Model risk: valuation adjustment to take into account valuation model risk which may arise due to: (i) the potential existence of a range of different models or model calibrations used by Pillar 3 data users; (ii) the lack of a firm exit price for the specific product being valued; (iii) the use of an incorrect valuation methodology; (iv) the risk of using unobservable and incorrect calibration parameters; or (v) the fact that certain market or product factors are not captured by the core valuation model. 7 Operational risks: valuation adjustment to take into account potential losses that may arise from operational risks related to the valuation processes. 8 Investing and funding costs: valuation adjustment to reflect the valuation uncertainty in the funding costs which other Pillar 3 data users may factor into a position or portfolio’s exit price, including funding valuation adjustments on derivatives exposures. 9 Unearned credit spreads: valuation adjustment to take into account the valuation uncertainty in the adjustment in order to reflect the current value of expected losses due to counterparty default on derivative positions, including the valuation uncertainty on CVAs. 10 Future administrative costs: valuation adjustment to take into account the administrative costs and future hedging costs over the expected life of the exposures for which a direct exit price is not applied for the close-out costs. Operational costs arising from hedging, administration and settlement of
contracts in the portfolio should be included in the valuation adjustment for these future administrative costs that are incurred by the portfolio or position but are not reflected in the core valuation model or prices that are used to calibrate inputs for that model.

11 Other adjustments: valuation adjustment to take into account other factors that will influence the exit price but are not included in any of the categories listed in rows 1 to 10 above. An AI should disclose these factors in the narrative commentary to support the disclosure in this template. 12 Total adjustments: the value in [PV1:12/f] should be equal to the value in [CC1:7/a].

(iii) Elements where a more conservative definition has been applied in the BCR relative to that set out in Basel III capital standards are disclosed below in Notes to the template. Notes to the template Description Hong Kong basis Basel III basis 9 Other intangible assets (net of associated deferred tax liabilities) Explanation As set out in paragraph 87 of the Basel III text issued by the Basel Committee (December 2010), mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) may be given limited recognition in CET1 capital (and hence be excluded from deduction from CET1 capital up to the specified threshold). In Hong Kong, an AI is required to follow the accounting treatment of including MSRs as part of intangible assets reported in the AI's financial statements and to deduct MSRs in full from CET1 capital. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 9 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 9 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by reducing the amount of MSRs to be deducted to the extent not in excess of the 10% threshold set for MSRs and the aggregate 15%

Part IIA – CC1 37
Description Hong Kong basis
Basel III basis threshold set for MSRs, DTAs arising from temporary differences and significant investments in CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities (excluding those that are loans, facilities or other credit exposures to connected companies) under Basel III. 10 Deferred tax assets (net of associated deferred tax liabilities) Explanation As set out in paragraphs 69 and 87 of the Basel III text issued by the Basel Committee (December 2010), DTAs of the bank to be realized are to be deducted, whereas DTAs which relate to temporary differences may be given limited recognition in CET1 capital (and hence be excluded from deduction from CET1 capital up to the specified threshold). In Hong Kong, an AI is required to deduct all DTAs in full, irrespective of their origin, from CET1 capital. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 10 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 10 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by reducing the amount of DTAs to be deducted which relate to temporary differences to the extent not in excess of the 10% threshold set for DTAs arising from temporary differences and the aggregate 15% threshold set for MSRs, DTAs arising from temporary differences and significant investments in CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities (excluding those that are loans, facilities or other credit exposures to connected companies) under Basel III. 18 Insignificant LAC investments in CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities that are outside the scope of regulatory consolidation (amount above 10% threshold) Explanation For the purpose of determining the total amount of insignificant LAC investments in CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities, an AI is required to aggregate any amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures provided by it to any of its connected companies, where the connected company is a financial sector entity, as if such loans, facilities or other credit exposures were direct holdings, indirect holdings or synthetic holdings of the AI in the capital instruments of the financial sector entity, except where the AI demonstrates to the satisfaction of the MA that any such loan was made, any such facility was granted, or any such other credit exposure was incurred, in the ordinary course of the AI's business. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 18 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 18 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by excluding the aggregate amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures to the AI's connected companies which were subject to deduction under the Hong Kong approach. 19 Significant LAC investments in
CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities that are outside the scope of regulatory consolidation (amount above 10% threshold) Explanation For the purpose of determining the total amount of significant LAC investments in CET1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities, an AI is required to aggregate any amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures provided by it to any of its connected companies, where the connected company is a financial sector entity, as if such loans, facilities or other credit exposures were direct holdings, indirect holdings or synthetic holdings of the AI in the capital instruments of the financial sector entity, except where the AI demonstrates to the satisfaction of the MA that any such loan was made, any such facility was granted, or any such other credit exposure was incurred, in the ordinary course of the AI's business. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 19 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 19 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by excluding the aggregate amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures to the AI's connected companies which were subject to deduction under the Hong Kong approach. 39 Insignificant LAC investments in AT1 capital instruments issued by financial sector entities that are outside the scope of regulatory consolidation (amount above 10% threshold)

Description Hong Kong basis
Basel III basis
Explanation
The effect of treating loans, facilities or other credit exposures to connected companies which are financial sector entities as CET1 capital instruments for the purpose of considering deductions to be made in calculating the capital base (see note re row 18 to the template above) will mean the headroom within the threshold available for the exemption from capital deduction of other insignificant LAC investments in AT1 capital instruments may be smaller. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 39 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 39 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by excluding the aggregate amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures to the AI's connected companies which were subject to deduction under the Hong Kong approach. 54 Insignificant LAC investments in Tier 2 capital instruments issued by, and noncapital LAC liabilities of, financial sector entities that are outside the scope of regulatory consolidation (amount above 10% threshold and, where applicable, 5% threshold) Explanation The effect of treating loans, facilities or other credit exposures to connected companies which are financial sector entities as CET1 capital instruments for the purpose of considering deductions to be made in calculating the capital base (see note re row 18 to the template above) will mean the headroom within the threshold available for the exemption from capital deduction of other insignificant LAC investments in Tier 2 capital instruments and noncapital LAC liabilities may be smaller. Therefore, the amount to be deducted as reported in row 54 may be greater than that required under Basel III. The amount reported under the column "Basel III basis" in this box represents the amount reported in row 54 (i.e. the amount reported under the "Hong Kong basis") adjusted by excluding the aggregate amount of loans, facilities or other credit exposures to the AI's connected companies which were subject to deduction under the Hong Kong approach. Remarks:
The amount of the 10% threshold and 5% threshold mentioned above is calculated based on the amount of CET1 capital determined in accordance with the deduction methods set out in BCR Schedule 4F. The 15% threshold is referring to paragraph 88 of the Basel III text issued by the Basel Committee (December 2010) and has no effect to the Hong Kong regime. Explanatory Note Columns (a) All amounts should be reported in Hong Kong dollars unless the AI uses another currency consistently for disclosure purposes. (b) An AI is required to complete column (b) to show the source of every major input, which is to be cross-referenced to the corresponding rows in Template CC2. This is Step 3 as required under the three-step approach to reconciliation as explained in DIS25 of the Basel framework. Rows 1 Instruments that meet all the qualifying criteria for CET1 capital as set out in BCR Schedule 4A issued by an AI. This should be equal to the sum of ordinary shares (and any related share premium) and other capital instruments (in the case of non-joint stock companies) which meet the qualifying criteria. This item should be net of treasury stock and other investments in own shares to the extent that such investments are already derecognized on the balance sheet under the relevant accounting standards. Other paid-in capital elements should be excluded. All minority interests should be excluded.

Part IIB: Macroprudential supervisory measures
Template GSIB1: G-SIB indicators
Purpose: To provide an overview of the indicators regarding G-SIBs.
Scope of application: The template is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong which are G-SIBs3 in the current annual reporting period or in the annual reporting period immediately preceding the current annual reporting period, or otherwise directed by the MA to make such disclosure. The MA may so direct where an AI or, if applicable, its consolidation group and any of its subsidiaries that are not included in the consolidation group but are insurance firms, have a leverage ratio exposure measure exceeding EUR200 billion or equivalent4 as at 31 December immediately preceding the current annual reporting period, or the AI is being regarded as capable of having a significant impact on the effective working and stability of the global financial system were it to become non-viable. Content: At least the 13 indicators (including the two sub-indicators for the trading volume indicator, i.e. (i) trading volume of fixed income instruments, and (ii) trading volume of equities and other securities) used in the assessment methodology of the G-SIB framework. Frequency: Annual, or in circumstances when the G-SIB restates figures to reflect final data submitted to the BCBS as considered necessary by the MA or on a voluntary basis. The MA may allow a GSIB whose financial year ends otherwise than on 31 December to report indicator values based on its position as of 31 December, nevertheless this template should be included in the G-SIB’s annual disclosure statement. Format: Flexible. The information disclosed should be fully consistent with the data submitted to the MA for subsequent remittance to the BCBS in the context of its annual data collection exercise for the assessment and identification of G-SIBs. The disclosure of each category item should follow the related instructions that the G-SIB uses to report its data to the BCBS’s data hub or as required by the MA.5 Accompanying narrative:
A G-SIB should indicate the annual reference date of the information reported as well as the date of first public disclosure. A web link to the disclosure of the previous G-SIB assessment exercise should also be included. A G-SIB should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any relevant qualitative characteristic deemed necessary for understanding the quantitative data. This information should include explanations about the use of estimates with a short explanation in relation to the method used, mergers or modifications of the legal structure of the entity 3 “G-SIBs” for the purpose of disclosures in this template, refers to G-SIBs for which the MA is the home regulatory authority. 4 For application of this threshold, the applicable exchange rates prescribed by the BCBS will be used. 5 A reference to the template format and reporting instructions could be found on the BIS website:

Part IIB – CCyB1 56
Template CCyB1: Geographical distribution of credit exposures used in countercyclical capital buffer (“CCyB”) Purpose: To provide an overview of the geographical distribution of private sector credit exposures relevant for the calculation of an AI’s CCyB ratio. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong which are subject to a CCyB requirement, based on the jurisdictions to which they have private sector credit exposures subject to a CCyB requirement compliant with the BCBS standards. Only AIs with exposures to jurisdiction(s) in which the applicable JCCyB ratio is higher than zero should disclose this template. Content: Private sector credit exposures and other relevant inputs necessary for the computation of the AI’s CCyB ratio. Where an AI has a reporting date for disclosure (e.g. end-April, end-October) that does not fall on the same position date for the Quarterly Reporting on the Countercyclical Capital Buffer (MA(BS)25) (i.e. end-March, end-June, end-September, end-December), the AI should disclose this template based on its own reporting date. In such circumstance, the calculation basis of values disclosed in this template should, however, follow the same calculation basis used for the return reporting. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Flexible rows 1 to N (to cater for the number of jurisdictions to which the AI has private sector credit exposures and with a non-zero applicable JCCyB ratio). Fixed rows N+1, N+2 and columns. Accompanying narrative:
For the purposes of the CCyB, an AI must use, where possible, exposures on an “ultimate risk” basis. It should disclose the methodology for geographical allocation used, and explain the exceptional jurisdictions or types of exposures for which the ultimate risk method is not used as a basis for allocation.6 Information about the key drivers for changes in the RWA (or exposure amounts) and the applicable JCCyB ratios should be summarised.

An AI should report one jurisdiction for each row, beginning with Hong Kong SAR (row 1), followed by Mainland China (row 2), then by all other jurisdictions in alphabetical order. (a) Applicable JCCyB ratio in effect (%): report in each row of this column the applicable JCCyB ratio in respect of each relevant jurisdiction named in the “Jurisdiction (J)” column. JCCyB ratios that were set by the relevant national authority, but are not yet applicable in the jurisdiction concerned as of the reporting date (pre-announced rates), should not be reported. (c) RWA used in computation of CCyB ratio: report in rows 1 to N of this column the sum of the RWA for the credit risk and the market risk relating to the AI’s private sector credit exposures to the jurisdiction listed in the “Jurisdiction (J)” column, calculated in the manner specified in the BCR §3O(1) for calculating RWAj, having regard to the guidance provided in the HKMA’s Supervisory Policy Manual module CA-B-3 Countercyclical Capital Buffer – Geographic Allocation of Private Sector Credit Exposures for the purpose of determining the geographic location of the obligors for its private sector credit exposures. (d) AI-specific CCyB ratio (%): report in [CCyB1: N+2/d] the AI’s specific CCyB ratio (expressed as a percentage).

Part IIC: Leverage ratio
Template LR1: Summary comparison of accounting assets against leverage ratio (“LR”) exposure measure Purpose: To reconcile the total assets in the published financial statements (if any) to the LR exposure measure. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. The LR framework should follow the same scope of regulatory consolidation as the capital adequacy framework (i.e. solo basis, solo-consolidated basis, and/or consolidated basis as specified by the MA under BCR §3C). Content: Quantitative information. Where an AI has a reporting date for disclosure (e.g. end-April, endOctober) that does not fall on the same position date for the Return of Leverage Ratio (MA(BS)27) (i.e. end-March, end-June, end-September, end-December), the AI should disclose this template based on its own reporting date.

As the adjustment reduces the total LR exposure measure, it shall be reported as a negative amount. 4 This row is not applicable as Hong Kong does not exercise the discretion to allow for the temporary exemption of central bank reserves from the LR exposure measure. 5 Adjustments related to any fiduciary assets recognised on the balance sheet pursuant to the AI’s applicable accounting standard but excluded from the LR exposure measure, provided that the assets meet the IFRS 9 (or HKFRS 9) criteria for derecognition and, where applicable, IFRS 10 (or HKFRS 10) for deconsolidation. As these adjustments reduce the total LR exposure measure, they should be reported as a negative amount. 6 Adjustments for regular-way purchases and sales of financial assets subject to trade date accounting. The adjustment reflects (i) the reverse-out of any offsetting between cash receivables for unsettled sales and cash payables for unsettled purchases of financial assets that may be recognised under the applicable accounting standard, and (ii) the offsetting between those cash receivables and cash payables that are eligible per the criteria specified in the LR framework.

If this adjustment leads to an increase in exposure, it shall be reported as a positive amount. If this adjustment leads to a decrease in exposure, it shall be reported as a negative amount. 8 Any adjustments in relation to derivative contracts should be in line with the LR calculation methodology under
Part 1C of the BCR. If this adjustment leads to an increase in exposure, an AI should disclose this as a positive
amount. If this adjustment leads to a decrease in exposure, the AI should disclose this as a negative amount. 9 Any adjustments in relation to SFTs (i.e. repos and other similar secured lending) should be in line with the LR calculation methodology under Part 1C of the BCR. If this adjustment leads to an increase in the exposure, an AI should disclose this as a positive amount. If this adjustment leads to a decrease in exposure, the AI should disclose this as a negative amount. 10 Aggregates of the credit equivalent amount of OBS exposures through the use of credit conversion factors (“CCFs”). For details of the OBS exposures and their applicable CCFs, please refer to the LR calculation methodology under Part 1C of the BCR. As these amounts increase the total LR exposure measure, they shall be reported as a positive amount. 11 Adjustments for prudent valuation adjustments and specific and collective provisions which have reduced Tier 1 capital. This adjustment reduces the LR exposure measure by the amount of prudent valuation adjustments and provisions that have reduced Tier 1 capital, which should be reported as a negative amount. Where specific and collective provisions are set aside against OBS exposures that have an effect to decrease Tier 1 capital, such provision amounts may be deducted from the credit equivalent amount of the exposures and in turn reported in this row. However, the resulting total credit equivalent amount for OBS exposures cannot be less than zero. 12 Any other adjustments that are necessary for the reconciliation but not included in rows 1 to 11 above. These may include adjustments in relation to any items that are deducted from Tier 1 capital under the capital adequacy framework in accordance with BCR §38(2), §43 and §47, but are not already excluded from the calculation of the LR exposure measure. For a note-issuing bank as defined under the Legal Tender Notes Issue Ordinance (Cap. 65), the adjustments should also include any certificates of indebtedness issued under the Exchange Fund Ordinance (Cap. 66) and held by it as cover for legal tender notes issued. 13 The LR exposure measure, which should be the sum of rows 1 to 12 above, should be consistent with the total exposures amount reported in [LR2: 24/a].

6 Adjustments to balance sheet assets due to deductions from Tier 1 capital in accordance with BCR §3ZB(4). For example:
 Where a financial sector entity is not included in the regulatory scope of consolidation, the amount of any investment in the capital of that entity that is totally or partially deducted from CET1 capital or from aAdditional Tier 1 capital of the AI following the corresponding deduction approach, may be deducted from the exposure measure.  For an AI using the IRB approach to determining capital requirements for credit risk, it is required any excess of the total expected loss over the total eligible provisions be deducted from CET1 capital. The same amount may be deducted from the exposure measure. As the adjustments in row 6 reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures. 7 Sum of values in rows 1 to 6. 8 Replacement cost (“RC”) associated with all derivative contracts (including exposures resulting from direct transactions between a client and a CCP where the AI guarantees the performance of its clients’ derivative trade exposures to the CCP), net of cash variation margin received and with, where applicable, bilateral netting under a qualifying bilateral netting agreement. This amount should be reported after applying the 1.4 alpha factor. 9 Add-on amount for the potential future exposure (“PFE”) of all exposures arising from derivative contracts. This amount should be reported after applying the 1.4 alpha factor. 10 Exempted trade exposures associated with the CCP leg of derivative contracts resulting from client-cleared transactions or which the clearing member, based on the contractual arrangements with the client, is not obligated to reimburse the client for any losses suffered due to changes in the value of its transactions in the event that a QCCP defaults.

Table LIQA: Liquidity risk management
Purpose: To enable Pillar 3 data users to make an informed judgment about the soundness of an AI’s liquidity risk management framework and liquidity position. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong and AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong. Content: Qualitative and quantitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. An AI may choose the relevant information to be provided depending upon its business model, liquidity risk profile, organisation structure and functions involved in liquidity risk management. Corresponding BDR
section:
16FJ and 103(4A)7
An AI should describe the following elements of liquidity risk management, where relevant:
Qualitative disclosures
(a) Governance of liquidity risk management, including:
(i) risk tolerance;
(ii) structure and responsibilities for liquidity risk management; (iii) internal liquidity reporting; and (iv) communication of liquidity risk strategy, policies and practices across business lines and with the board of directors. (b) Funding strategy, including:
(i) policies on diversification in the sources and tenors of funding; and (ii) whether the funding strategy is centralised or decentralised. (c) Liquidity risk mitigation techniques. (d) An explanation of how stress testing is used. (e) An outline of the AI’s contingency funding plan. Quantitative disclosures (f) Customised measurement tools or metrics that assess the structure of the AI’s balance sheet or that project cash flows 7 For AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong with cryptoasset exposures, the liquidity risk management information relevant to AI’s cryptoasset exposures that is required to be disclosed under BDR §103(4B) is set out in Table CAEA under Part XII of this document.

and future liquidity positions, taking into account off-balance sheet risks which are specific to the AI. (g) Concentration limits on collateral pools and sources of funding (both products and counterparties). (h) Liquidity exposures and funding needs at the level of individual legal entities, foreign branches and subsidiaries, taking into account legal, regulatory and operational limitations on the transferability of liquidity. (i) On- and off-balance sheet items, broken down into maturity buckets and the resultant liquidity gaps.

Part IID – LIQ1 70
Template LIQ1: Liquidity Coverage Ratio(“LCR”) – for category 1 institution Purpose: To present the details of LCR, high quality liquid assets (“HQLA”), and a breakdown of cash outflows and inflows. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for both AIs incorporated in Hong Kong and AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong that are designated as category 1 institution. A category 1 institution should disclose the required disclosure items in this template on:- (i) a consolidated basis – applicable to a category 1 institution incorporated in Hong Kong that is subject to Banking (Liquidity) Rules (“BLR”) rule 11(1); (ii) an unconsolidated basis – applicable to a category 1 institution incorporated in Hong Kong that is not subject to BLR rule 11(1) but subject to BLR rule 10(1)(b); or (iii) a Hong Kong office basis – applicable to a category 1 institution:-

incorporated in Hong Kong that is not subject to BLR rule 10(1)(b) or 11 but subject
to BLR rule 10(1)(a); and
incorporated outside Hong Kong that is subject to BLR rule 10(1)(a).
A category 1 institution should indicate the basis on which the required disclosure items in this template are disclosed. Content: Simple average values of all working days in the quarter. Data should be presented in Hong Kong dollars or the equivalent amounts in Hong Kong dollars. An AI should also specify the number of data points used in calculating the average values in the template and the currency used for presentation. Frequency: Quarterly. Format: Fixed. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should provide sufficient qualitative discussion to facilitate Pillar 3 data users’ understanding of its LCR calculation. For example, where significant to the LCR, the AI should discuss:
the main drivers of its LCR results and the evolution of the contribution of inputs to the
LCR’s calculation over time;
intra-period changes as well as changes over time;
the composition of HQLA;
concentration of funding sources;
currency mismatch in the LCR;
the degree of centralization of liquidity management and the interaction between
members of the consolidated group;
the exposures under its derivative contracts and the potential for it to be required to post
collateral under the contracts; and
other inflows and outflows in the LCR calculation that are not captured in the template but

Points to note:
(i) the rows A, B, C and D introduce respectively the 4 sections of the template (i.e. HQLA, cash outflows, cash inflows and LCR) and do not require any value to be input; (ii) the disclosure items shaded in light grey (e.g. rows 2, 5, 9, 10, 14 and 15 under Section B) represent the components, if any, within the respective sections; (iii) the unshaded disclosure items represent sub-components within the components of cash outflows (Section B). See explanatory note below for a more detailed explanation of the composition of such sub-components; (iv) no disclosure is required for items shaded in dark grey (i.e. cells 1/a, 9/a, 16/a, 21/a, 22/a and 23/a). Explanatory Note Columns (a) Unweighted value: In relation to a disclosure item under cash outflows (Section B) and cash inflows (Section C), it means the outstanding balance of the item maturing or callable within 30 days. Such outstanding balance is to be calculated as the principal amount of an asset, liability or off-balance sheet item included in the calculation of the LCR before applying the outflow rate(s) or inflow rate(s) applicable to them, as required under the BLR (as read in conjunction with the Banking (Liquidity Coverage Ratio – Calculation of Total Net Cash Outflows) Code (“the Code”). For example, in the case of stable retail deposits and stable small business funding (“SDF”):
𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝐷𝐹 𝑖𝑛 𝑢𝑛𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑄𝑖 = ( 1 𝑁 )∑𝑢𝑆𝐷𝐹𝑛 𝑁 𝑛=1 where N is the number of data points used in calculating such value for quarter Qi; and uSDFn means the unweighted amount of SDF at data point n. (b) Weighted value: In relation to a disclosure item under cash outflows (Section B) and cash inflows (Section C), it means the amount after applying the outflow rate(s) or inflow rate(s) applicable to the item, as required under the BLR (as read in conjunction with the Code). For example, in the case of SDF:
𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑆𝐷𝐹 𝑖𝑛 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡 𝑄𝑖 = ( 1 𝑁 )∑𝑤𝑆𝐷𝐹n 𝑁 𝑛=1 where N is the number of data points used in calculating such value for quarter Qi; and wSDFn means the weighted amount of SDF at data point n. (a) & (b) (average): the “average value” of each disclosure item should be calculated (i) based on the arithmetic mean of the item (in “unweighted amount”, “weighted amount” and “adjusted value” as applicable) as at the end of each working day for a reporting quarter; and (ii) according to the calculation methodology and instructions set out in the Return of Liquidity Position (MA(BS)1E). This recognises that the day-end positions of each disclosure item for the specified quarter cannot all be extracted or derived from the return which is submitted on a monthly basis

(instead of daily). Therefore, a category 1 institution should follow the calculation methodologies and instructions specified in the return for the calculation of the day-end positions of each such item. Rows8 1 All HQLA that satisfy the applicable requirements under BLR rule 25, after applying any applicable haircuts but before applying any applicable ceilings9 (as required under the BLR). The weighted amount of total HQLA is to be calculated as the total principal amount of such HQLA, net of any haircuts applicable to the assets concerned (in accordance with BLR rule 35 and, if applicable, BLR rule 38), but before the application of the 15% ceiling on level 2B assets and the 40% ceiling on the sum of level 2A assets and level 2B assets (in accordance with BLR rules 33 and 34 as applicable). {Item A4 (minus item A6 if applicable)} 2 Retail deposits and small business funding (as defined in BLR rule 39) (i.e. the sum of values in rows 3 to 4a). {Sum of items B1 to B4} 3 Stable retail deposits (as defined in BLR rule 39) and small business funding (that is akin to stable retail deposits), calculated in accordance with, respectively, clauses 3 and 6 of the Code. {Sum of sub-items B1(a), B2(a), B3(a) and B4(a)} 4 Less stable retail deposits (as defined in BLR rule 39) and small business funding (that is akin to less stable retail deposits), calculated in accordance with, respectively, clauses 4 and 6 of the Code. {Sum of sub-items B1(b), B2(b), B3(b) and B4(b)} 4a Retail term deposits (as defined in BLR rule 39) and small business term funding (that is akin to retail term deposits), calculated in accordance with, respectively, clauses 5 and 6 of the Code. {Sum of sub-items B1(c), B2(c), B3(c) and B4(c)} 5 Unsecured wholesale funding (as defined in BLR rule 39) (other than small business funding) and debt securities and prescribed instruments issued by the category 1 institution and redeemable within the LCR period (i.e. the sum of values in rows 6 to 8). {Sum of items B5, B6 and B7} 6 Operational deposits (as defined in BLR rule 39), calculated in accordance with clause 7 and meeting the qualifying criteria under clause 7(2) of the Code. 8 For mapping purpose, the explanatory notes to the following rows also provide the corresponding items in Part 2,
Section (I) of the Return of Liquidity Position, in big brackets (i.e. { }). However, AIs should be cautious that they are only
definition references for the items and should not be interpreted as a simple formula using which the values disclosed in the following rows are to be derived. For example, the definition reference for row 2 (item “Retail deposits and small business funding”) is {Sum of items B1 to B4}. The value to be disclosed in [LIQ1: 2/a] of this template for a particular quarter is, however, not equal to the simple summation of the principal amounts of items B1 to B4 as reported in Section (I), Part 2 of the Return of Liquidity Position for the month that ends on the close of the quarter. Rather, the value in [LIQ1:
2/a] should be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the unweighted value of “Retail deposits and small business funding” as at the end of each working day within the quarter (i.e. the average of all data points of item “Retail deposits and small business funding” in that quarter). See explanatory notes to columns (a) and (b) for the calculation method in details. 9 These refer to the 15% ceiling on level 2B assets and the 40% ceiling on the sum of level 2A and level 2B assets.

Under the BLR, these items include:
(i) currency notes and coins;
(ii) claims on the MA for the account of the EF or central banks that are repayable on demand or readily monetizable (including funds placed with the AI's HKD CHATS Account, or with central banks to meet reserve requirements, EF debt securities and central bank debt securities that qualify for HQLA); and (iii) other level 1 assets, level 2A assets and level 2B assets held by the AI. 16 Deposits held at other financial institutions for operational purposes: as defined in Part 7 of the BLR. 17 Performing loans and securities: the sum of values in rows 18, 19, 20, 22 and 24. 18 Performing loans to financial institutions secured by Level 1 HQLA: comprising performing loans and funds (other than operational deposits) provided by the AI to other financial institutions that are secured by level 1 assets. 19 Performing loans to financial institutions secured by non-Level 1 HQLA and unsecured performing loans to financial institutions: comprising performing loans and funds (other than operational deposits) provided by the AI to other financial institutions not already covered by row 18. 20 Performing loans, other than performing residential mortgages, to non-financial corporate clients, retail and small business customers, sovereigns, the MA for the account of the EF, central banks and PSEs: comprising performing loans and funds (which are not residential mortgages) provided by the AI to retail customers and wholesale customers (other than financial institutions) that are not covered by rows 15 to 19 and 22 to 23. 21 With a risk-weight of less than or equal to 35% under the STC approach: being the portion of amount reported in row 20 that is subject to a risk-weight of less than or equal to 35% under Division 3, Part 4 of the BCR. 22 Performing residential mortgages: comprising all performing residential mortgages provided by the AI. In determining the scope of residential mortgage, an AI could make reference to BCR §139(1) for the scope of row
22. For clarity’s sake, residential mortgage loans to financial institutions, if any, should be excluded from row
22 and be included in row 18 or 19 where appropriate.

23 With a risk-weight of less than or equal to 35% under the STC approach: being the portion of amount reported in row 22 that is subject to a risk-weight of less than or equal to 35% under Division 3, Part 4 of the BCR. 24 Securities that are not in default and do not qualify as HQLA including exchange-traded equities: comprising debt securities, prescribed instruments and listed equities held by the AI that are not already included in row 15. To avoid doubt, debt securities or prescribed instruments that are not marketable should also be covered by this row, while unlisted equities should be reported under row 31. 25 Assets with matching interdependent liabilities: any assets which meet the descriptions in BLR rule 70 and match with interdependent liabilities should be included in this row and excluded from all other RSF items. For noteissuing banks, this row also includes the amount of certificate of indebtedness that are issued under section 4(1) of the Exchange Fund Ordinance (Cap. 66), as follows:

for unweighted value, the certificates of indebtedness held should be included in column (a) for ‘no
specified term to maturity’;
for weighted value, a note-issuing bank may choose either to (a) treat the amount for certificates of
indebtedness as $0; or (b) apply BLR rules 65 and 68 to determine such weighted amounts in accordance with BLR rule 69(2). 26 Other assets: the sum of values in rows 27 to 31. 27 Physical traded commodities, including gold: including all physical traded commodities held by the AI. 28 Assets posted as initial margin for derivative contracts and contributions to default funds of CCPs: including cash, securities and other assets posted by the AI as initial margins or default fund contributions under all derivative contracts regardless of whether the assets are maintained on the AI’s balance sheet. 29 Net derivative assets: in the unweighted cell, report the amount of net derivative assets as calculated according to Part 9 of the BLR (i.e. the net amount of the total derivative assets (after adjustments) in excess of total derivative liabilities (after adjustments)). Since net derivative assets are subject to an RSF factor of 100%, the amount reported in the weighted cell should be equal to the amount reported in the unweighted cell. 30 Total derivative liabilities before adjustments for deduction of variation margin posted: report in this row the amount of total derivative liabilities (before adjustments) according to Part 9 of the BLR (i.e. the sum of the replacement costs of derivative contracts between the reporting AI and its counterparties, where each of those contracts has a negative replacement cost before adjustments for any variation margin posted by the reporting AI to the counterparty under the contract). The reported value should be in an absolute term (i.e. disregard the negative sign). 31 All other assets not included in the above categories: report in this row all other on-balance sheet assets that are counted towards RSF under the BLR but not included in rows 15 to 29 above (e.g. trade-date receivables, fixed assets, goodwill, investments in associated entities, unlisted equities, non-performing assets, etc). 32 Off-balance sheet items: the sum of all off-balance sheet obligations listed in Table 2, Schedule 6 to the BLR.

Part III: Credit risk for non-securitization exposures
Unless the context otherwise requires, the scope of this section includes an AI’s credit risk for nonsecuritization exposures subject to capital requirements under Part 4, 5 or 6 of the BCR, and excludes:

all securitization exposures subject to capital requirements under Part 7 of the BCR; and
all counterparty credit risk exposures to CCPs and other counterparties arising from transactions in
the banking book and trading book, and exposures in respect of default fund contributions to CCPs, that are subject to Part 6A of the BCR. For the purpose of Part III of this document, any reference to exposures related to “credit risk” is refering to the same scope as described above (i.e. credit risk for non-securitization exposures excluding counterparty credit risk) unless otherwise specified.
I. General information about credit risk
Table CRA: General information about credit risk
Purpose: To describe the main characteristics and elements of credit risk management, including the business model, credit risk profile, organisation and functions involved in credit risk management, and risk management reporting. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Qualitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR
section:
16G
An AI should disclose its risk management objectives and policies for credit risk, particularly focusing on:
(a) how the business model translates into the components of its credit risk profile; (b) criteria and approach used for defining credit risk management policy and setting credit risk limits; (c) structure and organization of the credit risk management and control function; (d) relationships between the credit risk management, risk control, compliance and internal audit functions; and (e) scope and main content of the reporting on credit risk exposure and on the credit risk management function to the senior management and to the board of directors.

The gross carrying amount is the accounting value before any allowance / impairments, gross of any CCF or CRM but after any write-offs. Write-offs for the purpose of this template are related to a direct reduction of the carrying amount when an AI has no reasonable expectations for its recovery.

Part III – CR1 86
Explanatory Note
(a) Defaulted exposures: AIs should use the definition of “default” that they use for regulatory capital adequacy purpose. I.e. For AIs using the STC or BSC approach, the meaning of ”defaulted exposures” should correspond to the secured and unsecured portions of “defaulted exposures” as defined in BCR §51(1) or claims “past due for more than 90 days” (or any more stringent definition adopted by the AI as provided in the accompanying narrative of this template and consistently applied throughout all templates where the “default” concept is used) respectively. AIs using the IRB approach should use the definition of “default” under BCR §149 for exposures under that approach. (b) Non-defaulted exposures: any exposure that does not meet the above definition of defaulted exposures. (c) Allowances / impairments: the total amount of impairments, made via an allowance against impaired and not impaired exposures according to the applicable accounting standards for the preparation of the AI’s financial statement. “Impaired exposures” are those that are considered “credit-impaired” in the meaning of HKFRS 9 / IFRS 9 Appendix A. (d) to (f) An AI should fill in column (d) to (f) in accordance with the categorisation of accounting provisions distinguishing those meeting the conditions to be categorised as collective provisions and those that are categorised as specific provisions. This categorisation must be consistent with information provided in Table CRB. (g) Net values: total gross carrying value less allowances / impairments, which is equal to the sum of values in columns (a) and (b) minus the value in column (c). Rows 1 Loans: the value in [CR1:1/g] is equal to the sum of values in [CR3:1/a] and [CR3:1/b]. 2 Debt securities: the value in [CR1:2/g] is equal to the sum of values in [CR3:2/a] and [CR3:2/b]. 3 Off-balance sheet exposures: this row includes all items that give rise to off-balance sheet credit exposures. For example, guarantees and irrevocable loan commitments provided by an AI should be reported according to the following criteria:
(a) guarantees given by the AI – the maximum amount, gross of any CCF or CRM, that the AI would have to pay if the guarantee were called; (b) irrevocable loan commitments – total amount, gross of any CCF or CRM, that the AI has committed to lend; revocable loan commitments should be excluded. 4 Total: this is the sum of values in rows 1, 2 and 3. The value in [CR1:4/a] is also equal to that in [CR2:6/a] if the AI has no off-balance sheet exposures.

Part III – CR2 87
Template CR2: Changes in defaulted loans and debt securities Purpose: To provide information on the changes in defaulted loans and debt securities, including any changes in the amount of defaulted exposures, movements between non-defaulted and defaulted exposures, and reductions in the defaulted exposures due to write-offs. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Carrying amounts that correspond to the values reported in financial statements but according to the scope of regulatory consolidation for capital adequacy purposes. Frequency: Semi-annual.

The amount should be reported net of write-offs, gross of any CCF or CRM and gross of allowances and provisions, as of the end of the last reporting period. 2 Loans and debt securities that have defaulted since the last reporting period: loans and debt securities that the AI classifies as defaulted during the current reporting period. 3 Returned to non-defaulted status: loans and debt securities that the AI re-classifies into non-default status in the current reporting period. This item, which has the effect of reducing the relevant exposure amount, should be reported as a negative figure.

Part III – CR2 88
Explanatory Note
4 Amounts written off: carrying amounts that have been totally or partially written off. This item has the effect of reducing the relevant exposure amount thus should be reported as a negative figure. 5 Other changes: any balancing items that are necessary to enable reconciliation between row 1 and row 6. An AI should disclose details of these balancing items in the accompanying narrative if they are material in nature. This item should be reported as a negative figure if it has the effect of reducing the relevant exposure amount. 6 Defaulted loans and debt securities at end of the current reporting period: the sum of values in rows 1 to 5, which is also equal to the value in [CR1: 4/a] if the AI has no off-balance sheet exposures.

Table CRB: Additional disclosure related to credit quality of exposures
Purpose: To provide additional qualitative and quantitative information on the credit quality of exposures to supplement the quantitative information provided under Templates CR1 and CR2. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Qualitative information and quantitative information (i.e. carrying amounts that correspond to the values reported in financial statements but according to the scope of regulatory consolidation for capital adequacy purposes). Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR
section:
16J
An AI should disclose the following information:
Qualitative disclosures
(a) The scope and definitions of “past due” and “impaired” exposures used according to the applicable accounting standards and the differences, if any, between the definitions of past due exposures and defaulted exposures for accounting purposes and those for regulatory purposes. (b) The extent of exposures which are past due for more than 90 days but are not impaired and the justifications for these exposures not being classified as impaired. (c) A description of methods adopted for determining accounting provisions for credit losses. In addition, an AI that has adopted an expected credit loss (“ECL”) accounting model must provide information on the rationale for categorisation of ECL accounting provisions in collective and specific categories for exposures calculated under the STC approach. (d) The AI’s own definition of a restructured exposure. Quantitative disclosures (e) Breakdown of exposures by geographical areas, industry and residual maturity. Any segment which constitutes not less than 10% of the AI’s total RWA for credit risk (after taking into account any recognized CRM) is deemed significant and should be separately disclosed. Non-significant exposures may be disclosed on an aggregated basis under the category “other”. (f) Amounts of impaired exposures (according to the definitions in use under the applicable accounting standards) and related allowances and write-offs, broken down by geographical areas and industries. (g) Aging analysis of accounting past due exposures. (h) Breakdown of restructured exposures, between impaired and not impaired exposures.

II. Credit risk mitigation
Table CRC: Qualitative disclosures related to credit risk mitigation
Purpose: To provide qualitative information on the policies and processes relating to the use of CRM. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Qualitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR
section:
16K
An AI should disclose the following information:
(a) (i) description of policies and procedures for netting of on- and off-balance sheet exposures; (ii) an indication of the extent to which the AI makes use of netting of on- and off-balance sheet exposures; (b) description of policies and processes for the valuation, revaluation and management of collateral; and (c) information about market or credit risk concentrations under each form of CRM used by the AI (i.e. by type of guarantor, collateral and credit protection seller). AIs should disclose a meaningful breakdown of their credit protection seller of credit derivative contracts, and set the level of granularity of this breakdown without disclosing proprietary or confidential information in accordance with BDR §9. For instance, AIs are not required to identify their credit derivative contract counterparties nominally if their name are considered to be proprietary or confidential information. Instead, the credit derivative contract exposures can be broken down by external rating class or by type of counterparty (e.g. banks, other financial institutions, non-financial institutions).

Part III –CR3 91
Template CR3: Overview of recognized credit risk mitigation Purpose: To disclose the extent of credit risk exposures covered by different types of recognized CRM. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong. Content: Carrying amounts that correspond to the values reported in financial statements but according to the scope of regulatory consolidation. An AI should include recognized CRM (i.e. collateral, guarantees and credit derivative contracts) used to reduce its capital requirements and disclose all secured exposures that fall under the category of “loans” and “debt securities” (after any applicable haircuts and anticipated costs to realize the collateral), irrespective of whether the STC, BSC or IRB approach is used for RWA calculation. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Fixed. Where an AI is unable to categorize its exposures secured by recognized collateral, recognized guarantees or recognized credit derivative contracts into “loans” and “debt securities”, it may either (i) merge two corresponding cells, or (ii) divide the amount by the prorata weight of gross carrying amounts. In such case the AI should explain which method has been used. Where an exposure benefits from multiple forms of recognized CRM, the exposure value should be allocated to each form by order of priority based on the forms of recognized CRM which the AI would apply in the event of loss. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material movements in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such movements. An AI may disclose any over-collateralisation of exposures using the accompanying narrative. Corresponding BDR

(b) Exposures to be secured: the carrying amount of exposures which have at least one recognized CRM (collateral, financial guarantees, credit derivative contracts) associated with them. For the avoidance of doubt, both the secured and unsecured portions of such exposures should be reported in this column. The allocation of the carrying amount of multi-secured exposures to different forms of recognized CRM in columns (c), (d) and (e) is made by order of priority, starting with the form of recognized CRM expected to be called first in the event of loss, and within the limits of the carrying amount of the secured exposures. (c) Exposures secured by recognized collateral: the carrying amount of exposures (net of allowances / impairments) secured by recognized collateral. In case an exposure is secured by recognized collateral and other form(s) of recognized CRM, the carrying amount of the exposures secured by recognized collateral is the remaining share of the exposure secured by such collateral after consideration of the shares of the exposure already secured by other forms of recognized CRM expected to be called beforehand in the event of a loss, but not taking into account any over-collateralisation. (d) Exposures secured by recognized guarantees: the carrying amount of exposures (net of allowances / impairments) secured by recognized guarantees. In case an exposure is secured by recognized guarantees and other form(s) of recognized CRM, the carrying amount of the exposure secured by recognized guarantees is the remaining share of the exposure secured by such guarantees after consideration of the shares of the exposure already secured by other forms of recognized CRM expected to be called beforehand in the event of a loss, but not taking into account any over-collateralisation. (e) Exposures secured by recognized credit derivative contracts: the carrying amount of exposures (net of allowance / impairments) secured by recognized credit derivative contracts.

III. Credit risk under standardized (credit risk) approach
Table CRD: Qualitative disclosures on use of ECAI ratings under STC approach
Purpose: To provide information on the process adopted for using ECAI ratings and the extent to which the ratings are used for RWA calculation. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use the STC approach for calculating all or part of their credit risk capital requirement. AIs that use the BSC approach are not subject to the disclosure requirements of this table. For AIs that use a combination of the STC approach and the IRB approachIRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach, such their exposures subject to the STC approach should also be reported using this table. However, an AI may choose not to disclose the information required in this table provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) the exposure amounts and RWA calculated under the STC approach are negligible; (ii) the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and (iii) the AI has explained in a narrative commentary why it considers the information not to be meaningful to information users, including a description of the portfolios concerned and the aggregate total RWAs these portfolios represent.

Part III – CR4 96
Template CR4: Credit risk exposures and effects of recognized credit risk mitigation – for STC approach or BSC approach Purpose: To illustrate the effect of any recognized CRM (including recognized collateral under both comprehensive and simple approaches) on the calculation of capital requirements. RWA density provides a synthetic metric on riskiness of each portfolio. Scope of application: The template, which comprises a STC version and a BSC version, is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that have credit risk exposures subject to the STC approach or the BSC approach. The STC version of this template is to be completed by AIs that use the STC approach and the BSC version by AIs that use the BSC approach. AIs that use a combination of the STC approach and the IRB approach IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach should report such their exposures subject to the STC approach in the STC version. However, an AI may choose not to disclose the information required in this template provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) the exposure amounts and RWA calculated are negligible; (ii) the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and (iii) the AI has explained in a narrative commentary why it considers the information not to be meaningful to information users, including a description of the portfolios concerned and the aggregate total of RWAs from such exposures. CIS exposures should not be reported in this template but in Template OV1. Exposures for settlement risk that are reported under row 15 of the Template OV1 are also excluded from this template. Content: Credit risk exposure amounts for the purpose of capital adequacy. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Fixed. The columns are fixed and the rows in the STC version and the BSC version of this template reflect respectively the classification of exposures as defined under the BCR, where applicable. Accompanying narrative: An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material movements in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such movements.

These should include group 1a cryptoasset exposures and group 1b cryptoasset exposures which should be reported based on the traditional asset(s) underlying the group 1a cryptoassets to which the exposures relate, the reference assets of group 1b cryptoassets, or the exposure class to which the relevant redeemer/member holder/nonmember holder belongs, except in the case of an AI using the BSC approach, exposures falling within row 15a should be reported in that row. 12 (STC) / 16 (BSC) Total: for AIs using the STC approach, the sum of values in [CR4(STC):12/c] and [CR4(STC):12/d] is equal to the value in [CR5(STC):11/d] under the table “Exposure amounts and CCFs applied to off-balance sheet exposures, categorised based on risk bucket of converted exposures (STC version)”; for AIs using the BSC approach, the sum of values in [CR4(BSC):16/c] and [CR4(BSC):16/d] is equal to the value in [CR5(BSC):8/d] under the table “Exposure amounts and CCFs applied to off-balance sheet exposures, categorised based on risk bucket of converted exposures (BSC version)”.

Part III – CR5 102
Template CR5: Credit risk exposures by exposure classes and by risk weights – for STC approach or BSC approach Purpose: To present a breakdown of credit risk exposures by exposure classes and by risk weights (corresponding to the classification of exposures according to the approaches used). Scope of application: The template, which comprises a STC version and a BSC version, is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that have credit risk exposures subject to the STC approach or the BSC approach. The STC version of this template is to be completed by AIs that use the STC approach and the BSC version by AIs that use the BSC approach. AIs that use a combination of the STC approach and the IRB approach IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach should report such their exposures subject to the STC approach in the STC version. However, an AI may choose not to disclose the information required in this template provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) the credit exposure amounts and RWA calculated are negligible; (ii) the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and (iii) the AI has explained in a narrative commentary why it considers the information not to be meaningful to information users, including a description of the exposures included in the respective portfolios and the aggregate total RWAs from such exposures. CIS exposures should not be reported in this template but in Template OV1. Exposures for settlement risk that are reported under row 15 of the Template OV1 are also excluded from this template. Content: Credit risk exposure amounts for the purpose of capital adequacy, after taking into account CCFs and the effect of recognized CRM. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Fixed. The columns are fixed and the rows in the STC version and the BSC version of this template reflect respectively the exposure classes as defined under the BCR. Accompanying narrative: An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material movements in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such movements. An AI should describe the sequence in which CCFs, provisioning and credit risk mitigation measures are applied in relation to both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures, where applicable.

An AI should provide the following information on its use of the internal models:
(a) (i) Internal model development, controls and changes; (ii) Role of the functions involved in the development, approval and subsequent changes of the credit risk models. (b) (i) Relationships between risk management function and internal audit function; (ii) Procedure to ensure the independence of the function in charge of the review of the models from the functions responsible for the development of the models. (c) Scope and main content of the reporting related to credit risk models. (d) Scope of approach approved by the MA pursuant to the BCR for an AI to calculate its credit risk for nonsecuritization exposures using the IRB approach, with a breakdown between the FIRB approach and the AIRB approach, if applicable. In particular, the AI should include a description of the nature of the exposures (except for those exempted under the BCR) which are subject to the separately disclosed IRB calculation approach. (e) For each of the portfolios, the AI should indicate the portion of EAD within the group (in percentage of total EAD) covered by the STC approach (if any), FIRB, AIRB and other IRB calculation approaches, as well as the portion of portfolios that are involved in a roll-out plan.

Template CR6: Credit risk exposures by portfolio and PD ranges – for IRB approach Purpose: To provide the main parameters of internal models used for the calculation of credit risk capital requirements under the IRB approach, for the purpose of enhancing the transparency of RWA calculations and the reliability of regulatory measures. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use the IRB calculation approaches for some or all of their exposures. Content: Columns (a) and (b) are based on accounting carrying amounts and columns (c) to (l) regulatory amounts. All values are based on the regulatory scope of consolidation for capital adequacy purposes. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Fixed. Where an AI makes use of the FIRB approach, AIRB approach, and/or retail IRB approach, it should disclose the IRB calculation approaches in separate templates. For each of these IRB calculation approaches used, an AI should disclose the portfolio types subject to the IRB calculation approaches by major IRB class and/or subclass (which are in line with the classification used in the BCR) as follows:- (i) Sovereign; (ii) Bank; (iii) Corporate – specialized lending (other than HVCRE); (iv) Corporate – small-and-medium sized corporates; (v) Corporate – specialized lending (HVCRE); (vi) Corporate – large corporates; (vii) Corporate – financial institutions treated as corporates; (viii) Corporate – other corporates; (ix) Retail – QRRE (transactor); (x) Retail – QRRE (revolver); (xi) Retail – Residential mortgage exposures (including both to individuals and to property-holding shell companies); (xii) Retail – small business retail exposures; and (xiii) Retail – Other retail exposures to individuals. Divide the table into various sections, one section for each type of the IRB classes / subclasses according to (i) to (xiii) aforementioned. (* Only for those specialized lending subject to the FIRB or AIRB approach.)

PD scale PD scale should not be changed. An AI should map the PD scale it uses in the calculations of RWA into the PD scale provided in the template. (a) Original on-balance sheet gross exposure: the amount of the on-balance sheet exposure gross of accounting provisions (before taking into account the effect of recognized CRM). (b) Off-balance sheet exposure pre-CCF: the exposure value determined under Part 6 of the BCR, as the case requires, without taking into account credit valuation adjustments and provisions, CCFs and the effect of recognized CRM. (c) Average CCF: this is derived from dividing the EAD post-CCF by the EAD pre-CCF determined in accordance with the BCR for off-balance sheet exposure. (d) EAD post-CRM and post-CCF: the amount determined under the BCR and relevant to the capital requirements calculation. (e) Average PD: the weighted average of obligor grade PD included in the same row, using the EAD of each obligor as the weight. (f) Number of obligors: the number of individuals included in the same row. Approximation (round number) of obligor number is acceptable for disclosure purpose. (g) Average LGD: the weighted average of obligor grade LGD within the same PD band (or the same portfolio(s) for rows ‘sub-total’ and ‘total’ as appropriate), using the EAD of each obligor as the weight. The LGD should be net of any recognized CRM effect. (h) Average maturity: the weighted average of obligor maturity within the same PD band (or the same portfolio(s) for rows ‘sub-total’ and ‘total’ as appropriate), presented in years, using the EAD of each obligor as the weight. This parameter needs to be filled in only when it is used for calculating RWA. (i) RWA: the RWA calculated in accordance with Part 6 of the BCR. (j) RWA density: this is derived from total RWA in column (i) divided by EAD post-CRM and post-CCF in column (d). The resultant ratio should be expressed in percentage. (k) EL: the expected losses are calculated in accordance with the requirements under Division 11, Part 6 of the BCR.

Template CR9: Back-testing of PD per portfolio – for IRB approach Purpose: To provide back-testing data to validate the reliability of PD calculations, including a comparison of the PD used to calculate capital requirements with the effective default rates of obligors under the IRB approach. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use AIRB, FIRB and/or retail IRB approaches for credit risk. Where an AI makes use of a combination of FIRB, AIRB and/or retail IRB approaches, it should disclose separate sets of portfolio breakdown for each approach in separate templates. An AI should provide meaningful information to users on the back-testing of its internal model, or a combination of models, which are used to rate and assign a PD to its obligor. A minimum 5-year-average annual default rate is required, in order to compare the PD with a more stable default rate. An AI may use a longer historical period that is consistent with its actual risk management practices. The disclosed template should include the key models used at the group-wide level (according to the scope of regulatory consolidation) and explain in a narrative commentary how the scope of models described was determined. The commentary should include the percentage of RWAs covered by the models whose back-testing results are shown here for each of the AI’s regulatory portfolios. Content: Modelling parameters used in the capital calculation under the IRB approach. Frequency: Annual. Where the back-testing reference period does not coincide with the annual reporting period but on another time interval (e.g. a 12-month interval), the term “year” used in this template means “over the period used for the back-testing of a model”, so that an AI could still disclose values that actually correspond to the performance of the models. The AI should disclose the time horizon (observation period) it uses for the back-testing. Format: Flexible. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material movements in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such movements. The AI may wish to supplement the template with a disclosure of the exposure amount and the number of obligors whose defaulted exposures have been cured in the year. Corresponding BDR

(a) Portfolio X: the breakdown by portfolios should follow the major IRB class and/or subclass (which are in line with the classification used in the BCR), as follows:- (i) Sovereign; (ii) Bank; (iii) Corporate – specialized lending (other than HVCRE); (iv) Corporate – small-and-medium sized corporates; (v) Corporate – specialized lending (HVCRE); (vi) Corporate – large corporates; (vii) Corporate – financial institutions treated as corporates; (viii) Corporate – other corporates; (ix) Retail – QRRE (transactor); (x) Retail – QRRE (revolver); (xi) Retail – Residential mortgage exposures (including both to individuals and to property-holding shell companies); (xii) Retail – small business retail exposures; and (xiii) Retail – Other retail exposures to individuals. (* Only for those specialized lending subject to the FIRB or AIRB approach.) (b) PD Range: the upper and lower bound of the PD assigned at the beginning of the period for obligors of the respective portfolios. (c) External rating equivalent: one column should be filled in for each ECAI or credit rating agency authorized for prudential purposes in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions where the AI operates. This may not be applicable to a retail portfolio for which external rating is not available. If there are more than one applicable ECAIs or credit rating agencies, add column (c)(i), (c)(ii) and so on for disclosure. (d) Weighted average PD: the estimated PDs assigned at the beginning of the period for obligors by the internal model authorized under the IRB approach. The PD values are EAD-weighted and the “weight” is the EAD at the beginning of the period that are not in default. (e) Arithmetic average PD by obligors: the simple average of PD at the beginning of the period, calculated by aggregating the values of obligors’ PD within range which is then divided by the total number of obligors within the range. (f) Number of obligors: two sets of information are required: (i) the number of obligors at the beginning of the year; and (ii) the number of obligors at the end of the year subject to reporting. The ‘Beginning of the year’ sub-column includes non-default obligors at the beginning of the year for disclosure. The ‘End of the year’ sub-column includes

Part III – CR9 129
Explanatory Note all the non-default accounts related to obligors already included in the ‘Beginning of the year’ sub-column plus all the new obligors acquired during the year. (g) Defaulted obligors in the year: the number of defaulted obligors during the year, which includes: (i) obligors not in default at the beginning of the year who went into default during the year; and (ii) new obligors acquired – through origination or purchase of loans, debt securities or off-balance sheet commitments - during the year not in default who went into default during the year. Obligors under (ii) are also separately disclosed in column (h). (h) Of which: new defaulted obligors in the year: the number of obligors having defaulted during the last 12-month period that were not funded at the end of the previous financial year. (i) Average historical annual default rate: a minimum of 5-year average of the annual default rate is required. The annual default rate is calculated by dividing the number of obligors at the beginning of each year that are defaulted during that year, by the total number of obligors held at the beginning of the year. An AI may use a longer historical period (i.e. longer than 5 years) that is consistent with the AI’s actual risk management practices for calculating the average historical annual default rate figure. Rows An AI is expected not to group obligor grades for the purposes of disclosure except in a manner which represents a breakdown of obligor grades, under the IRB approach used by the AI, which provides for a consistent, logical and cogent differentiation of the credit risk exposures. To achieve this, a breakdown by obligor grades together with the corresponding PD ranges may be disclosed for each regulatory portfolio.

Template CCR3: Counterparty credit risk exposures (other than those to CCPs) by exposure classes and by risk weights – for STC approach or BSC approach Purpose: To present a breakdown of default risk exposures, other than those to CCPs, in respect of derivative contracts and SFTs that are subject to the STC approach or BSC approach, by exposure classes and risk-weights (the latter representing the riskiness attributed to the exposure according to the respective approaches), irrespective of the approach used to determine the amount of default risk exposures. Scope of application: The template, which comprises a STC version and a BSC version, is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that have counterparty credit risk exposures subject to the STC approach or the BSC approach. The STC version of this template is to be completed by AIs that use the STC approach and the BSC version by AIs that use the BSC approach. AIs that use a combination of the STC approach and the IRB approach IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach should report such their exposures subject to the STC approach in the STC version. However, an AI may choose not to disclose the information required in this template provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) the default risk exposure amounts and RWA for default risk exposure calculated under the STC or BSC approach, where applicable, are negligible; (ii) the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and (iii) the AI has explained in a narrative commentary why it considers the information not to be meaningful to information users, including a description of the exposures included in the respective portfolios and the aggregate total RWAs from such exposures.

Table MRB: Additional qualitative disclosures for AI using IMA
Purpose: To provide the scope, main characteristics and key modelling choices of the different models used for the calculation of market risk capital charge using the IMA. Scope of application: The table is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use the IMA for calculating all or part of their market risk capital charge. To provide meaningful information to users on its use of internal models, an AI should describe the main characteristics of the models used at the group-wide level (according to the scope of regulatory consolidation) and explain the extent to which they represent all the models used at the group-wide level. The commentary should include the percentage of market risk capital charge covered by the models described for each of the market risk capital charge components (modellable risk factors, non-modellable risk factors (“NMRFs”) and default risk charge). Content: Qualitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR

(I)
An AI should provide a general description of the trading desk structure and types of instruments included in the IMA trading desks. (II) An AI using internal models to determine the market risk charges for modellable risk factors (“ES models”) should provide the following information:
(a) A description of trading desks covered by the ES models. Where applicable, the AI should also describe the main trading desks not included in the calculation of market risk capital charge for modellable risk factors (due to lack of historical data or model constraints). (b) The soundness criteria on which the internal capital adequacy assessment is based (e.g. forward-looking stress testing) and a description of the methodologies used to achieve a capital adequacy assessment that is consistent with the soundness standards as set out in Schedule 3 to the BCR. (c) A general description of the ES model(s). For example, the AI may describe whether the model(s) is (are) based on historical simulation, Monte Carlo simulations or other appropriate analytical methods, and the stressed ES relevant period for stressed ES calculation. (d) The frequency by which model data is updated. (e) A description of the ES calculation based on current and stressed observations. For example, the AI should describe the reduced set of modellable risk factors used to calibrate the period of stress, the share of the variations in the fully specified ES that is explained by the reduced set of modellable risk factors, and the observation period used to identify the stressed ES relevant period.

(III)
An AI using internal models to determine the market risk charges for NMRFs must provide the following information:
(a) A general description of each methodology used to achieve a capital assessment for categories of NMRFs that is consistent with the required soundness standard as set out in Schedule 3 to the BCR. (IV) An AI using internal models to determine the default risk charge must provide the following information:
(a) A general description of the methodology, including information about the characteristics and scope of the VAR and whether different models are used for different exposure classes. For example, the AI may describe the range of probability of default (“PD”) by obligors on the different types of positions, the approaches used to correct market-implied PDs as applicable, the treatment of netting, basis risk between long and short exposures of different obligors, mismatch between a position and its hedge and concentrations that can arise within and across product classes during stressed conditions. (b) The methodology used to achieve a capital assessment that is consistent with both the required soundness standard as set out in Schedule 3 to the BCR. (V) Validation of models and modelling processes:
(a) The approaches used in the validation of the models and modelling processes, describing general approaches used and the types of assumptions and benchmarks on which they rely.

section:
16ZQA
An AI should describe:
(a) Its policies, frameworks and guidelines for the management of operational risk.
(b) The organisational structure of its operational risk management and control function. (c) Its operational risk measurement system (i.e. the systems and data used to measure operational risk in order to estimate the operational risk capital charge). (d) The scope and main context of its reporting framework on operational risk to senior management and to the board of directors. (e) The risk mitigation and risk transfer used in the management of operational risk. This includes mitigation by policy (such as the policies on risk culture, risk appetite, and outsourcing), by divesting from high-risk businesses, and by the establishment of appropriate internal controls. The remaining exposure can then be absorbed by the AI or transferred, e.g. through insurance.

Part IX – OR1 192
Template OR1: Historical losses
Purpose: To disclose aggregate operational risk losses incurred over the last 10 annual reporting periods, based on the accounting date of the incurred losses. This entire period is referred to as the disclosure period. However, an AI that uses a fewer number of years (which must be no less than 5 years) of operational loss data to calculate its loss component for operational risk capital charge on a transitional basis should use such period as its disclosure period instead. This disclosure informs the operational risk capital charge calculation. The general principle on retrospective disclosure set out in Supervisory Policy Manual module CA-D-1 “Guideline on the Application of the Banking (Disclosure) Rules” does not apply to this template. From the implementation date of this template onwards, disclosure of all preceding annual reporting periods in the disclosure period applicable to the AI is required. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that are classified as (i) bucket 2 AIs or bucket 3 AIs or (ii) bucket 1 AIs which have obtained the prior consent of the MA under BCR §332(2)(b) or met the specified conditions under BCR §332(2)(a) to include operational loss data to calculate their capital charge for operational risk.

Part X: Comparison of modelled and standardized RWAs
Template CMS1: Comparison of modelled and standardized RWAs at risk level Purpose: To compare the RWA calculated under “full standardized” approaches against the actual RWA,
part of which is calculated under any of the model-based approaches that AIs have the MA’s
approval to use. The disclosure also provides the full standardized RWA amount used in the computation of the output floor as specified in Part 11 of the BCR. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong using model-based approaches to calculate their credit risk or market risk or both. Content: RWA. Frequency: Quarterly. Format: Fixed. Accompanying narrative:
An AI should explain the main drivers of difference (e.g. asset class or sub-asset class of a particular risk category, key assumptions underlying parameter estimations, national implementation differences) between the RWA calculated under the model-based approaches that are used to calculate its capital ratios and the RWA disclosed under the full standardized approach should the AI not be allowed to use any models in calculating its capital ratios. Explanation should be specific and, where appropriate, might be supplemented with quantitative information. In particular, if the RWA for securitization exposures in the banking book are a main driver of the difference, the AI should explain the extent to which it is using each of the three potential approaches (SEC-ERBA (except IAA), SEC-SA and SEC-FBA) for calculating the RWA for securitization exposures.

For an unencumbered asset to qualify as high-quality liquid assets, the BLR requires an AI to have the ability to monetise that asset during the stress period such that the AI can meet net cash outflows). (c) Unencumbered assets: Unencumbered assets are assets which do not meet the definition of encumbered assets in this template. (d) Total: This refers to the sum of encumbered and unencumbered assets. The scope of consolidation for the purposes of this disclosure requirement should be based on the AI’s regulatory scope of consolidation, and any assets (including those relevant to securitization exposures) should be included. Rows AIs are required to provide a breakdown of balance sheet assets in separate rows. The breakdown could be based on a broad and useful categorisation of balance sheet items (e.g. loans and advances, financial assets, non-financial assets, etc.) as appropriate.

Part XII: Cryptoasset exposures
Table CAEA: Qualitative disclosure on activities related to cryptoassets and approach used
in assessing classification conditions
Purpose: To provide an overview of an AI’s activities related to cryptoassets and the main risks related to its cryptoasset exposures as well as the approach used in assessing the classification conditions. Scope of application:
The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong with cryptoasset exposures. The table is also mandatory for all AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong with cryptoasset exposures but only in relation to the AIs’ business activities related to cryptoassets that give rise to liquidity risk. Content: Qualitative information. Frequency: Annual. Format: Flexible. Corresponding BDR
section:
16ZQH and 103(4B)
An AI should describe:
(a) Its business activities related to cryptoassets, including inter alia owning cryptoassets directly, trading of cryptoassets on clients’ accounts, equity investments in cryptoasset activities (e.g. cryptoasset exchanges and fund managers of cryptoasset exchange-traded funds) and the issuance of cryptoassets by the AI (i.e. cryptoliabilities of the AI). An AI should explicitly state if it is a member holder of cryptoasset arrangements as defined in BCR §363, acting as an intermediary in the redemption of cryptoassets. In such cases, the AI should describe its role and the extent of any commitments to redeem or purchase back cryptoassets that may result from those activities. (b) For each activity in (a), how the activity translates into components of the AI’s risk profile (including, but not limited to, credit, market, operational and/or liquidity risks) and the associated risk management policies (including, but not limited to, strategies and processes to manage, hedge and mitigate risks that arise from the AI’s business activities and the processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges and mitigants). (c) Scope and main content of the AI’s reporting related to cryptoassets, including, but not limited to, how business activities result in the AI having cryptoasset exposures covered under the scope of the prudential treatment of cryptoassets and/or any material exposures to specific cryptoassets. (d) The most significant current risk(s) associated with the AI’s activities related to cryptoassets and the AI’s cryptoasset exposures and how this current risk is being managed. (e) The most significant emerging risk(s) associated with the AI’s activities related to cryptoassets and the AI’s cryptoasset exposures and how this emerging risk is being managed.

Part XII – CAEA 211
(f) For exposures to group 1 cryptoassets, the AI’s approach to assessing each of the following classification conditions under §361(2) or (3) of the BCR, including any public information used but excluding any confidential and proprietary information:
(i) Classification condition 1: §361(2)(a) or (3)(a) as the case requires (ii) Classification condition 2: §361(2)(b) (iii) Classification condition 3: §361(2)(c) (iv) Classification condition 4: §361(2)(d) Note: In case of AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong, this paragraph is only applicable to AIs designated as category 1 institution under the BLR.

Part XII – CAE1 212
Template CAE1: Cryptoasset exposures and RWAs
Purpose: To provide an overview of an AI’s cryptoasset exposures according to the prudential classification of the cryptoassets (groups 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b) and the related RWAs. Scope of application: The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong with cryptoasset exposures. Content: Exposures and RWAs of an AI’s cryptoasset exposures. Frequency: Semi-annual. Format: Flexible. Accompanying narrative:

Due to the difficulty of disaggregating RWA for operational risk related only to cryptoasset
exposures, an AI should supplement the template by explaining its policies and risk mitigation used in its management of operational risk related to cryptoasset exposures.
If the MA requires an AI to calculate the infrastructure risk add-on for group 1 cryptoasset
exposures under §380 of the BCR, the AI should disclose the amount of that add-on.
An AI should provide the aggregated level of cryptoassets under custody (i.e. market value
of cryptoassets that the AI held in custody for clients at the end of the reporting period) as
part of the accompanying narrative. This narrative should cover the types of cryptoassets
under custody (e.g. tokenised version of traditional assets, stablecoins and other cryptoassets separately).
An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material
changes of the matters reported in this template over the reporting period and the key drivers of such changes. Corresponding BDR

(i) The balance sheet and regulatory amounts reported in the template should reflect the values as at the end of the reporting period. An AI should also complete this template using mean values calculated as of each day of the reporting period for row 3 Group 2a cryptoassets (column (d) Long exposure and column (e) Short exposure) and row 4 Group 2b cryptoassets (column (a) Total exposure, column (d) Long exposure and column (e) Short exposure). For rows 3 and 4, mean values calculated as of each day of the reporting period should be used when reporting both the rows for aggregate values for group 2a and group 2b cryptoassets and the additional rows for any material cryptoasset exposures.

Part XII – CAE1 214
(ii) In addition to the separate disclosure requirements set out in this template that apply to all group 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b cryptoassets, an AI should include group 1 cryptoasset exposures in the relevant disclosure templates that apply to traditional assets in other Parts of this disclosure package (e.g. for credit risk and market risk) and group 2 cryptoasset exposures in the relevant disclosure templates in other Parts of this disclosure package, where applicable. (iii) For groups 1b, 2a and 2b cryptoassets, additional rows should be added for each material exposure to stablecoins and unbacked cryptoassets by individual cryptoasset. For group 1b cryptoasset exposures, the determination of a material exposure should be based on the general principle of materiality adopted for the purpose of the BDR by reference to BDR §10 and the further guidance under paragraphs 8.4 and 9.6 of the Supervisory Policy Manual module CA-D-1 “Guideline on the Application of the Banking (Disclosure) Rules”. For the purpose of this template, a group 2 cryptoasset exposure is considered to be a material exposure where the following two criteria are met:
(a) An AI's group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio calculated in accordance with Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR is equal to or greater than 0.3%. For the purpose of determining whether a group 2 cryptoasset exposure is material, the group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio should be calculated as at the end of the reporting period. (b) An AI's exposure to an individual group 2 cryptoasset (i.e. ck ) is greater than 5% of its total group 2 cryptoasset exposures (i.e. ∑k ck ). For this purpose, group 2 cryptoasset exposures should be calculated in accordance with Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR as at the end of the reporting period. Any tokenised versions of traditional asset included in group 2a or group 2b cryptoasset exposures as a result of not meeting the classification conditions of group 1 cryptoasset exposures does not need to be separately disclosed, but the relevant amounts should be reported in the total rows for group 2a cryptoassets and group 2b cryptoassets (i.e. row 3 and row 4). (iv) Given that RWA for counterparty credit risk and CVA risk are calculated on a portfolio basis, it is not possible to separately identify the amounts related to cryptoassets. The counterparty credit risk and CVA amounts are therefore excluded from the scope of this template. Explanatory Note Columns (a) Credit risk – Total exposure: on- and off-balance sheet cryptoasset exposures for which a RWA for credit risk must be calculated according to the BCR. The amount should be gross of any CCF or recognized CRM. For group 2a cryptoassets, the total exposure reported in this column should reflect only the amount of credit exposure arising from the risk of default of the redeemer and the risks arising when intermediaries perform the redemption function for the AI’s group 2a cryptoasset exposures determined in accordance with BCR §384, including the amount of exposure that arises when an AI is a member holder of a cryptoasset arrangement for the AI’s group 2a cryptoasset exposures, determined in the same way as the credit risk of group 1b cryptoasset exposures under BCR §368. For group 2b cryptoasset exposures, an AI should report the greater of the absolute value of the aggregate long positions and the absolute value of the aggregate short positions. (b) Credit risk – Exposure/exposure at default (EAD): the exposure amount or EAD, post-CRM and post-CCF, that is relevant for the capital requirements calculation. For group 2a cryptoasset exposures, the exposure/EAD reported in this column should reflect only the credit exposure/EAD arising from the risk of default of the redeemer and the risks arising when intermediaries perform the redemption function for the AI’s group 2a cryptoasset exposures determined in accordance with BCR §384, including the credit exposure/EAD that arises when an AI is a member holder of a cryptoasset arrangement for the AI’s group 2a cryptoasset exposures determined in the same way as the credit risk of group 1b cryptoasset exposures under BCR §368.
For group 2b cryptoasset exposures, an AI should report the greater of the absolute value of the aggregate long positions and the absolute value of the aggregate short positions. (c) Credit risk – RWA: RWA for credit risk of an AI’s cryptoasset exposures calculated in accordance with the BCR. For group 2a cryptoassets, the total RWA reported in this column should reflect only the RWA for credit risk arising from the risk of default of the redeemer and the risks arising when intermediaries perform the redemption function for the AI's group 2a cryptoasset exposures calculated in accordance with BCR §384 including the RWA for credit risk that arises when an AI is a member holder of a cryptoasset arrangement for the AI’s group 2a cryptoasset exposures, calculated in the same way as the credit risk of group 1b cryptoasset exposures under BCR §368. For group 2b cryptoassets, total RWA for credit risk calculated in accordance with BCR §385 will be reported in this cell, as there is no separate trading book and banking book treatment for group 2b cryptoassets under Part 12 of the BCR. The treatment under BCR §385 is intended to capture credit

Part XII – CAE1 215
Explanatory Note risk, market risk, and CVA risk. For consistency, the RWA calculated in accordance with BCR §385 must all be reported as part of the AI's credit RWA. Nevertheless, for group 2b cryptoasset exposures, an AI should report the aggregated market value of gross long and short positions in columns (d) and (e), respectively. This is because to calculate the RWA, an AI should apply the risk weight of 1,250% to the greater of the absolute value of the aggregate long positions and the absolute value of the aggregate short positions in the cryptoassets. (d) Market risk – Long exposure: aggregated market value of gross long positions in the trading book by cryptoasset group. Derivative exposures should be calculated as the fair value of the underlying cryptoasset of a derivative contract, adjusted upward to take into account the leverage and capped at the maximum possible loss on the derivative contract. (e) Market risk – Short exposure: aggregated market value of gross short positions in the trading book by cryptoasset group. Derivative exposures should be calculated as the fair value of the underlying cryptoasset of a derivative contract, adjusted upward to take into account the leverage and capped at the maximum possible loss on the derivative contract. (f) Market risk – RWA: RWA for market risk of an AI’s cryptoasset exposures calculated in accordance with the BCR. Since the market risk framework does not refer to RWA, an AI should indicate the derived RWA number (i.e. by multiplying the capital charge by 12.5). As market risk is calculated on a portfolio basis, it will not always be possible to calculate standalone market RWA for group 1a cryptoasset exposures and group 1b cryptoasset exposures, and so the relevant cells in this column are greyed out. Similarly, RWA for group 2b cryptoassets are reported as credit risk, and so these cells are also greyed out. By contrast, the dedicated market risk treatment for group 2a cryptoassets should allow RWA amounts for these exposures to be reported. Rows Group allocation: this classification is based on AI’s classification of cryptoassets in accordance with BCR §361. 2 ,3, and 4 Group 1b/ Group 2a/ Group 2b cryptoassets: the amounts related to all the cryptoassets belonging to those groups (i.e. not only the sum of each material individual exposure to stablecoins and unbacked cryptoassets included in the breakdown of each group in the template). 6 Group 2 cryptoasset exposure limit – direct holding: aggregate direct holdings of group 2 cryptoassets subject to the calculation of group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio according to Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR. 7 Group 2 cryptoasset exposure limit – indirect holding: aggregate indirect holdings of group 2 cryptoassets subject to the calculation of group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio according to Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR (e.g. those via investment funds, exchange-traded fund/exchange-traded note, or any legal arrangements designed to provide
cryptoasset exposures). 8 Group 2 cryptoasset exposure limit – exposure above the 1% limit: the AI's total exposure to group 2 cryptoassets (as calculated in accordance with Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR) above the 1% of the AI's Tier 1 capital. 9 Group 2 cryptoasset exposure limit – RWA above the 1% limit: This row is applicable to AIs that are G-SIB or DSIB and have the group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio exceeding 1% calculated in accordance with Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR. In such case, the AI should report the add-on for group 2 cryptoasset exposures imposed under BCR §388 in this row. This add-on is essentially an incremental RWA for the AI’s group 2 cryptoasset exposures that are in excess of the 1% threshold but below 2% of its Tier 1 capital. Such AI should not report the relevant amount of add-on in columns (c) or (f). 10 Total RWA for group 2 cryptoasset as a result of breaching the 2% limit: This row is only applicable to AIs that are G-SIB or D-SIB and have the group 2 cryptoasset exposure ratio exceeding 2% calculated in accordance with Division 8, Part 12 of the BCR. In such case, an AI should report the total RWA for all of its group 2 cryptoasset exposures (including the add-on for group 2 cryptoasset exposures imposed under BCR §388) under this row. Consequently, such AI should not report RWA figures in columns (c) or (f) for all of its group 2 cryptoasset exposures.
