Loan Classification and Provisioning

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued this circular on 8 November 1999 to establish regulatory standards for credit risk management regarding loan classification and provisioning. The document mandates that all authorized institutions implement robust systems to accurately classify loans and maintain adequate provisions for potential credit losses. It serves as a key regulatory instrument alongside related guidelines on the prudential treatment of problem assets and non-performing exposures.
