Rule · HKMA · 13 Jun 2025
This return template, in HK$'000, collects the risk-weighted amount for credit risk under the BSC approach, grouped by exposure class: sovereigns, PSEs, MDBs, banks, covered bonds, IPO financing, cash and gold, clearing or settlement items, real estate, equities, subordinated debts, other exposures and CIS exposures, each with specified risk-weight percentages. Division A2 adds cryptoasset exposures, split into Group 1a and Group 1b, with a 1250% risk weight for cryptoassets issued by other issuers and Group 1b exposures, plus the top five Group 1 cryptoassets by RWA. Division B requires a breakdown of off-balance sheet exposures by transaction type and obligor, and default risk exposures for derivative contracts, SFTs and IMM(CCR) portfolios by counterparty type.
