All Authorized Institutions
Dear Sir/Madam,
Revised Pillar 3 Disclosure Package
I am writing to inform you that, following consultation with the two industry associations, the Monetary Authority is issuing and specifying a revised package of standard disclosure templates and tables (with accompanying explanatory notes) pursuant to sections 6(1)(ab) and 88(1)(b) of the Banking (Disclosure) Rules (“BDR”). The revised package is intended to be used by authorized institutions (“AIs”) for making disclosures under the BDR. The English version of the revised package1 is enclosed (Annex 1). The revised package mainly reflects the capital standards in the Basel III final reform package, featuring new templates and tables, as well as revisions to the existing ones. Other refinements are also incorporated to provide greater clarity and to align with the latest corresponding disclosure requirements in the DIS
chapter of the Basel Framework2
.
Same as the commencement date of the Banking (Disclosure) (Amendment) Rules 2023 (“BDAR”), the revised package is expected to take effect on 1 January 2025. AIs should use the revised package for making disclosures for any reporting period ending after this date. The English version of the revised package can be accessed through the “Key Functions – Banking – Banking Legislation, Policies and Standards Implementation – Disclosure” icons on the HKMA’s public website (http://www.hkma.gov.hk) or through the Supervisory Communication Website (http://www.stet.iclnet.hk). The Chinese version of the revised package will be uploaded as soon as it is available. 1 For ease of reference, a marked-up draft highlighting changes over the current version in use is also enclosed (Annex 2). 2 https://www.bis.org/basel_framework/standard/DIS

Should you have any questions regarding the above, please contact Ms Amy Siu (apysiu@hkma.gov.hk) or Mr Ivan Hui (iyhhui@hkma.gov.hk). Yours faithfully, Richard Chu Acting Executive Director (Banking Policy) Encl cc: The Chairperson, The Hong Kong Association of Banks The Chairperson, The DTC Association FSTB (Attn: Mr Justin To)

Part I: Key prudential ratios, overview of risk management and RWA

Table OVA: Overview of risk management

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 section:	16B

An AI should describe its risk management objectives and policies, in particular:
(a)	1. 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 2. how the risk profile of the AI interacts with the risk tolerance approved by the board.
(b)	the risk governance structure: 1. the responsibilities attributed throughout the AI (e.g. oversight and delegation of authority; breakdown of responsibilities by type of risk, business unit, etc.); and 2. 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)	1. the strategies and processes to manage, hedge and mitigate risks that arise from the AI’s business model; and 2. the processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges and mitigants for those risks.

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 “pre-floor” 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.

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a)	RWA (T):RWA referred to in the BCR and as reported in accordance with the subsequent parts of this document. Where the output of a calculation approach is a capital charge instead of a RWA (e.g. the approaches for market risk and operational risk), an AI should calculate the RWA by multiplying capital charge by 12.5.
(b)	RWA (T-1):RWA as reported in the previous reporting period (i.e. at the end of the previous quarter) of this template.
(c)	Minimum capital requirements (T): Pillar 1 capital requirements, which in general are calculated as 8% of the RWA.
Rows
1	Credit risk for non-securitization exposures: RWA and capital requirements according to the credit risk framework reported in Part III of this document. The amounts exclude RWA and capital requirement arising from counterparty credit risk and default fund contributions, CVA risk, CIS exposures, settlement risk, securitization framework (e.g. securitization exposures in the banking book), and amounts below the deduction thresholds and subject to a 250% risk-weight.
2	Of which STC approach: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the STC approach under the BCR. For an interim or annual reporting period, the value in [OV1: 2/a] should be equal to the value in [CR4 (STC): 12/e].
2a	Of which BSC approach: RWA and capital requirements calculated using the BSC approach under the BCR. For an interim or annual reporting period, the value in [OV1: 2a/a] should be equal to the value in [CR4 (BSC): 16/e].
3	Of which foundation IRB approach: RWA and capital requirements for AIs using the foundation IRB approach (“FIRB approach”) to calculate their credit risk under the BCR, excluding specialized lending calculated using the supervisory slotting criteria approach (reported in row 4), retail exposures under the retail IRB approach (reported in row 5a) and other exposures under the specific risk-weight approach (reported in row 5b).
4	Of which supervisory slotting criteria approach: RWA and capital requirements of specialized lending calculated using the supervisory slotting criteria approach under the BCR.
5	Of which advanced IRB approach: RWA and capital requirements for AIs using the advanced IRB approach (“AIRB approach”) to calculate their credit risk under the BCR, excluding specialized lending calculated using the supervisory slotting criteria approach (reported in row 4), retail exposures under the retail IRB approach (reported in row 5a) and other exposures under the specific risk-weight approach (reported in row 5b).
5a	Of which retail IRB approach: RWA and capital requirements for AIs using the retail IRB approach to calculate their credit risk under the BCR.
5b	Of which specific risk-weight approach: RWA and capital requirements for AIs using the specific risk-weight approach to calculate their credit risk under the BCR.
6	Counterparty credit risk and default fund contributions: RWA and capital requirements for counterparty credit risk (including such a risk to CCPs) and default fund contributions, calculated in accordance with the BCR as reported in Part IV of this document. The value in [OV1:6/a] is equal to the sum of values in [CCR1:6/f], [CCR8:1/b] and [CCR8:11/b].
7	Of which SA-CCR approach: RWA calculated based on the amount of default risk exposures calculated under the SA-CCR approach. The value in [OV1:7/a] should be equal to the value in [CCR1: 1/f].
7a	Of which CEM: RWA calculated based on the amount of default risk exposures calculated under the CEM, and the capital requirement calculated based on the RWA. The value in [OV1:7a/a] is equal to the value in [CCR1:1a/f].
8	Of which IMM(CCR) approach: RWA calculated based on the amount of default risk exposures calculated under the IMM(CCR) approach, and the capital requirement calculated based on the RWA. The value in [OV1:8/a] is equal to the value in [CCR1:2/f] and the value in [CCR7:9/a].
9	Of which others: RWA and capital requirements for the items calculated in accordance with the BCR by using methods other than those falling under rows 7 to 8 above as reported in Part IV of this document.
10	CVA risk: Capital requirements for CVA calculated in accordance with the BCR and the corresponding RWA for CVA, as reported in Part IVA of this document.
11	This row is not applicable in the case of Hong Kong because the BCR do not provide for any phase-in arrangement for the use of the IRB approach for equity exposures. An AI may report “Not applicable” or “N/A” in this row.
12	Collective investment scheme (“CIS”) exposures – look-through approach / third-party approach: RWA and capital requirement of a CIS calculated under the look-through approach and/or third-party approach in accordance with Part 6B of the BCR.
13	CIS exposures – mandate-based approach: RWA and capital requirement of a CIS calculated under the mandated-based approach in accordance with Part 6B of the BCR.
14	CIS exposures – fall-back approach: RWA and capital requirement of a CIS calculated under the fall-back approach in accordance with Part 6B of the BCR.
14a	CIS exposures – combination of approaches: RWA and capital requirement of a CIS calculated by using more than one approach under Part 6B of the BCR. 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: 1. Transactions in securities, 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 2. Transactions in securities, foreign exchange, and commodities that are entered into on a non-delivery-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 of this document), which also includes capital charges for securitization exposures booked in 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 [MR1:12/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.
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.

* For the purpose of this template, column (f) also includes items subject to CVA risk framework.

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; - 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. 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.

Template LI2: Main sources of differences between regulatory exposure amounts and carrying values in financial statements

Purpose:	To provide information on the main sources of differences between the carrying values in financial statements and the exposure amounts used for the calculation of regulatory capital in respect of the assets and liabilities based on the scope of regulatory consolidation.
Scope of application:	The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Carrying values (that correspond to values reported in financial statements but according to the scope of regulatory consolidation (rows 1 to 3) and amounts considered for regulatory exposure purposes (row N)).
Frequency:	Annual.
Format:	Flexible.
Accompanying narrative:	As set out in Table LIA.

Explanatory Note
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 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 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.
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 FIRB 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 FIRB 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.

Table LIA: Explanations of differences between accounting and regulatory exposure amounts

Purpose:	To provide qualitative explanations on the differences observed between accounting carrying values (as defined in Template LI1) and amounts considered for regulatory capital purposes (as defined in Template LI2) under each risk framework.
Scope of application:	The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Qualitative information.
Frequency:	Annual.
Format:	Flexible.
Corresponding BDR section:	16F

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: 1. Valuation methodologies, including a description of the extent of use of marking-to-market methodology and of a marking-to-model methodology; 2. Independent price verification process; and 3. 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: 1. 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 2. 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.

Explanatory Note
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 non-contractual 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].

Part IIA: Composition of regulatory capital

Template CC1: Composition of regulatory capital

Purpose:	To provide a breakdown of the constituent elements of Total capital.
Scope of application:	The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Breakdown of regulatory capital according to the scope of regulatory consolidation. 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 Return on Capital Adequacy Ratio (MA(BS)3) (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.
Frequency:	Semi-annual.
Format:	Fixed. AIs are not permitted to add, delete or change the definitions of any rows of this reporting template.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any significant changes over the reporting period and the key drivers of such change.

The reconciliation requirements included in Template CC2 result in the decomposition of certain regulatory adjustments. For example, the disclosure template above includes the adjustment “Goodwill net of associated deferred tax liabilities”. The reconciliation requirements will lead to the disclosure of both the goodwill component and the related tax liability component of this regulatory adjustment. 2. 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% 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)
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 non-capital 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 non-capital 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.

79	Cap for inclusion of surplus provisions for exposures calculated using the IRB approach and the portion of an AI’s total regulatory reserve for general banking risks and provisions for Stages 1 and 2 of credit impairment that is apportioned to the SEC-IRBA in Tier 2 capital, calculated in accordance with BCR §42(2), (3) and (4).

Template CC2: Reconciliation of regulatory capital to balance sheet

Purpose:	To enable Pillar 3 data users to identify the differences between the scope of accounting consolidation and the scope of regulatory consolidation, and to show the link between an AI’s balance sheet in its published financial statements and the numbers that are used in the composition of regulatory capital disclosure template set out in Template CC1.
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). 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 Return on Capital Adequacy Ratio (MA(BS)3) (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.
Frequency:	Semi-annual.
Format:	Flexible (but the rows should align with the balance sheet presentation).
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any significant changes in the expanded balance sheet items over the reporting period and the key drivers of such change. Narrative commentary to significant changes in other balance sheet items could be found in Table LIA.

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a) and (b)	An AI should take the balance sheet numbers in its published financial statements (reported in column (a)), and report the numbers when the regulatory scope of consolidation is applied (reported in column (b)). This is referred to as Step 1 under the three-step approach to reconciliation, as explained in DIS25 of the Basel framework. If there are rows in the balance sheet under the regulatory scope of consolidation that are not present in the published financial statements, the AI should add these rows and give a value of zero in column (a). If an AI’s scope of accounting consolidation and scope of regulatory consolidation are exactly the same, columns (a) and (b) should be merged and this fact should be clearly disclosed. The amounts in columns (a) and (b) in this template before balance sheet expansion (i.e. before Step 2 under the three-step approach) should be identical to columns (a) and (b) in Template LI1.
(c)	An AI should, using a reference number/letter input in this column, cross-reference the figures of the expanded balance sheet items to the corresponding items in column (b) of Template CC1 in accordance with Step 3 under the three-step approach to reconciliation as explained in DIS25 of the Basel framework.
Rows
All	Rows in the template should follow the balance sheet presentation used by an AI in its financial statements, on which basis the AI is required to expand the balance sheet to identify all the items that are disclosed in Template CC1 (referred to as Step 2 under the three-step approach to reconciliation, as explained in DIS25 of the Basel framework). Set out above (i.e. items [a] to [f]) are some examples of items that may need to be expanded for a particular banking group. Disclosure should be proportionate to the complexity of the AI’s balance sheet. Each item should be given a reference number/letter in column (c) that is used as cross-reference to the corresponding items in column (b) of Template CC1.

Table CCA: Main features of regulatory capital instruments

Purpose:	To provide a description on the main features of the CET1, Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital instruments, as applicable, that are included in an AI’s regulatory capital.
Scope of application:	The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Qualitative and quantitative information.
Frequency:	Semi-annual. This table should be posted on the AI’s internet website (or if permitted by the MA, the internet website of its holding company). It should be updated whenever a capital instrument is issued, repaid, included in or excluded from the capital base by an AI, and whenever there is a redemption, conversion / write-down, or any other material change in the nature of the relevant instrument. The AI should include the web link to the issuances made over the previous period in each disclosure statement.
Format:	Flexible.
Accompanying information:	The full terms and conditions of all instruments included in an AI’s regulatory capital should be made available on its internet website.

Points to note: 1. An AI should report the main features of each outstanding regulatory capital instrument. For any item that is not applicable for a particular capital instrument, “NA” should be entered. 2. In order to provide a “main features report” that summarises all of the regulatory capital instruments of the banking group, an AI should report each instrument, including ordinary shares, in a separate column of this template (by adding column (b), column (c) and so on). 3. An AI should select one of the standard options in the list as the input for a particular cell, where relevant. The following table provides a more detailed explanation of reporting requirements for each of the cells, and, where relevant, the list of standard options from which the AI should select as the input for a particular cell.

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-SIBs[3] 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 equivalent[4] 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 G-SIB 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 subjected to the reported data, the bucket to which the G-SIB was allocated and changes in HLA requirements, or reference to the BCBS website for data on denominators, cut-off scores and buckets. Regardless of whether Template GSIB1 is included in the annual Pillar 3 report, a G-SIB’s annual and interim disclosure statements should include a reference to the website where its current and previous disclosures of Template GSIB1 are housed.

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.

Jurisdiction (J)	Report in this column names of jurisdictions in which the AI has private sector credit exposures (as defined in the BCR §3N), and which has an applicable JCCyB ratio (within the meaning of the BCR) greater than zero as of the end date of the reporting period. 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). This is equal to the institution-specific CCyB requirement reported in [KM1: 9/a], and corresponds to the CCyB ratio calculated in the BCR §3O(1), Formula 1A.
(e)	CCyB amount: report in [CCyB1: N+2/e] the amount of the AI’s minimum CCyB requirement, calculated as the product of the value in [CCyB1: N+2/d] and the AI’s total RWA.

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, end-October) 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. In such circumstance, the calculation basis of values disclosed in this template should, however, follow the same calculation basis used for the return.
Frequency:	Semi-annually.
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should disclose and detail the source of material differences between its total balance sheet assets, as reported in its financial statement, and its LR exposure measure.

	The AI’s total consolidated assets as per published financial statements.
	Adjustments in relation to the AI’s investments in financial sector entities or commercial entities as defined in BCR §35 that are consolidated for accounting purposes, but outside the scope of regulatory consolidation. As these adjustments reduce the total LR exposure measure, they should be reported as a negative amount.
3	Adjustment related to securitised exposures that meet the operational requirements for the recognition of risk transference. 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.
7	Adjustments for eligible cash-pooling transactions. An adjustment is for the difference between the accounting value of cash-pooling transactions and the treatments 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].

Template LR2: Leverage ratio (“LR”)

Purpose:	To provide a detailed breakdown of the components of the LR denominator, as well as information on LR, minimum applicable LR and mean-SFT adjusted LR.
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, end-October) 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. In such circumstance, the calculation basis of values disclosed in this template should, however, follow the same calculation basis used for the return, unless otherwise provided in the explanatory notes for the relevant rows.
Frequency:	Quarterly.
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should describe the key factors that have had a material impact on the LR for the current reporting period compared with the preceding reporting period. An AI should also describe the key factors that explain any material differences between the gross amount of SFT assets that are disclosed in row 29 and the mean values of gross assets of SFTs that are disclosed in row 28.

Explanatory Note
Rows
1	An AI should include all consolidated assets on balance sheet as per its financial statements, including collateral for on-balance sheet derivative contracts and for SFTs, with the exception of on-balance sheet derivative contracts and SFT assets that are included in rows 8 to 18. Collateral for derivative contracts and SFTs refer to either collateral received or collateral provided (or any associated receivable asset) included as a balance sheet asset. Where an AI is a note-issuing bank as defined under the Legal Tender Notes Issue Ordinance (Cap. 65), the AI’s on-balance sheet exposure should not include, for the purpose of this template, any certificates of indebtedness issued under the Exchange Fund Ordinance (Cap. 66) and held by the AI as cover for legal tender notes issued. Amounts are to be reported in accordance with the LR framework.
2	Grossed-up amount of any collateral provided in relation to exposures arising from derivative contracts where the provision of that collateral has reduced the value of the balance sheet assets under the AI’s applicable accounting standard.
3	Deductions of receivable assets in respect of cash variation margin provided under derivative contracts where the posting of cash variation margin has resulted in the recognition of a receivable asset under the AI’s applicable accounting standard. As the adjustments in row 3 reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures.
4	Adjustment for securities received under a SFT where an AI has recognised the securities as an asset on its balance sheet. These amounts are to be excluded from the exposure measure in accordance with the LR framework in respect of SFT exposures. As the adjustments in row 4 reduce the exposure measure, they shall be reported as negative figures.
5	Specific and collective provisions, if any, that reduce the on-balance sheet exposure measures may be presented in this row, provided that such reductions from exposure measures are allowable under Part 1C of the BCR. As these adjustments reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures.
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 additional 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. As the adjustments in row 10 reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures.
11	The effective notional amount of written credit-related derivative contracts, which may be reduced by the total amount of negative changes in fair value amounts that have been incorporated into the calculation of Tier 1 capital with respect to written credit-related derivative contracts.
12	Adjustments relating to: - The amount by which the notional amount of a written credit-related derivative is reduced by a purchased credit-related derivative contract on the same reference name; and - The deduction of add-on amounts for PFE in relation to written credit-related derivative contracts. As the adjustments in row 12 reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures.
13	Sum of values in rows 8 to 12.
14	The gross amount of SFT assets without recognition of netting, other than novation with QCCPs (in which case the final contractual exposure is to replace the gross amount of SFT assets), determined in accordance with the LR framework in respect of SFT exposures (e.g. excluding any securities received under an SFT where the AI has recognised the securities as an asset on its balance sheet), and adjusting for any sale accounting transactions.
15	Adjustments for cash payables and cash receivables of gross SFT assets with netting determined in accordance with the LR framework in respect of SFT exposures. As these adjustments reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as a negative figure.
16	The amount of the counterparty credit risk add-on for SFTs determined in accordance with the LR framework in respect of SFT exposures.
17	The amount for which the AI acting as an agent in an SFT has provided an indemnity or guarantee determined in accordance with the LR framework in respect of SFT exposures.
18	Sum of values in rows 14 to 17.
19	Total off-balance sheet exposure amounts (excluding off-balance sheet exposure amounts associated with SFT and derivative contracts) on a gross notional basis, before any adjustment for credit conversion factors (“CCFs”).
20	Reduction in gross amount of off-balance sheet exposures due to the application of CCFs. As these adjustments reduce the exposure measure, they should be reported as negative figures.
21	Amounts of specific and collective provisions associated with off-balance sheet exposures that have decreased Tier 1 capital, the absolute value of which is not to exceed the sum of rows 19 and 20. As these adjustments reduce the exposure measure, they shall be reported as negative figures.
22	Sum of values in rows 19 to 21.
23	The amount of Tier 1 capital as determined under the BCR. The value in [LR2:23/a] is equal to the value in [KM1:2 & 2a/a].
24	Sum of values in rows 7, 13, 18 and 22. The value in [LR2:24/a] is equal to the value in [KM1:13/a] and in [LR1: 13/a].
25 & 25a	Leverage ratio is defined as the Tier 1 capital measure of row 23 (the numerator) divided by the exposure measure of row 24 (the denominator), where the resultant quotient be expressed as a percentage. Hong Kong does not exercise the discretion to allow for the temporary exemption of central bank reserves from the LR exposure measure. The value in [LR2:25 & 25a/a] is equal to the value in [KM1:14, 14a & 14b/a].
26	The minimum leverage ratio requirement applicable to an AI as specified in BCR §3Z.
27	This row is not applicable as Hong Kong does not adopt leverage buffers.

29	If rows 14 and 15 are based on quarter-end values, this amount is the sum of rows 14 and 15.
30 & 30a	Total exposure measure, using mean values calculated as of each calendar day of the reporting quarter for the amounts of the exposure measure associated with gross assets of SFTs (after adjustment for sale accounting transactions and netted amounts of associated cash payables and cash receivables). Hong Kong does not exercise the discretion to allow for the temporary exemption of central bank reserves from the LR exposure measure. The value in [LR2:30 & 30a/a] should be equal to the value in [KM1:13a/a].
31 & 31a	Tier 1 capital measure divided by the exposure measure, using mean values calculated as of each calendar day of the reporting quarter for the amounts of the exposure measure associated with gross assets of SFTs (after adjustment for sale accounting transactions and netted amounts of associated cash payables and cash receivables). Hong Kong does not exercise the discretion to allow for the temporary exemption of central bank reserves from the LR exposure measure. The value in [LR2:31 & 31a/a] is equal to the value in [KM1:14c & 14d/a].

Part IID: Liquidity

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)

An AI should describe the following elements of liquidity risk management, where relevant:
Qualitative disclosures
(a)	Governance of liquidity risk management, including: 1. risk tolerance; 2. structure and responsibilities for liquidity risk management; 3. internal liquidity reporting; and 4. communication of liquidity risk strategy, policies and practices across business lines and with the board of directors.
(b)	Funding strategy, including: 1. policies on diversification in the sources and tenors of funding; and 2. 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 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.

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:- 1. a consolidated basis – applicable to a category 1 institution incorporated in Hong Kong that is subject to Banking (Liquidity) Rules (“BLR”) rule 11(1); 2. 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 3. 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 the AI considers relevant for its liquidity profile.

Points to note: 1. 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; 2. 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; 3. 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; 4. 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”): 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: 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.
Rows[7]
1	All HQLA that satisfy the applicable requirements under BLR rule 25, after applying any applicable haircuts but before applying any applicable ceilings[8] (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)}

23	LCR (%): the calculation of the “average value” of its LCR in this row should be based on the arithmetic mean of the LCR as at the end of each working day during the quarter. Accordingly, the average value of the AI’s LCR for quarter Qi should be calculated as: where (a) N is the number of data points used in calculating such value for the quarter; and (b) LCRn means the LCR at data point n. For the avoidance of doubt, the “average value” of the AI’s LCR for the quarter should not be simply calculated by dividing (i) the “average value” of its total HQLA for the quarter (row 21) by (ii) the “average value” of its total net cash outflows for the quarter (row 22). {Item D}

Template LIQ2: Net Stable Funding Ratio – for category 1 institution

Purpose:	To provide details of NSFR and details of ASF and RSF components.
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 items in this template on:- 1. a consolidated basis – applicable to a category 1 institution incorporated in Hong Kong that is subject to BLR rule 11(1); 2. 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 3. 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:	Items disclosed should be measured and defined according to the methodology and instructions set out in the Stable Funding Position Return (MA(BS)26). Data should be presented as quarter-end observations and in Hong Kong dollars or the equivalent amount of Hong Kong dollars.
Frequency:	Semi-annual (including two data sets covering the latest and the preceding quarter-ends).
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should provide a sufficient qualitative discussion on the NSFR to facilitate an understanding of the results and the accompanying data. For example, where significant, the AI should discuss: - the drivers of its NSFR results, the reasons for intra-period changes and the changes over time (e.g. changes in strategies, funding structure, circumstances); and - the composition of the AI’s interdependent assets and liabilities (as defined under Division 2 of Part 9 of the BLR) and to what extent these transactions are interrelated.

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a) to (d)	Unweighted value by residual maturity: values entered in these columns should be the quarter-end observations of individual line items in accordance with the maturity bands. Items to be reported in column (a), i.e. the “no specified term to maturity” time bucket, do not have a stated maturity. These may include, but are not limited to, items such as capital with perpetual maturity, collective provisions, net derivative liabilities, currency notes and coins, equities, physical traded commodities, assets posted as initial margin for derivative contracts and contributions to default funds of CCPs, net derivative assets and total derivative liabilities before deduction of variation margin posted.
(e)	Weighted amount: values entered in this column are calculated in accordance with Part 9 of the BLR.
Rows
1	Capital: the sum of values in rows 2 to 3.
2	Regulatory capital: CET1 capital, Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital as defined by Part 3 of the BCR before the application of any regulatory adjustments required by the BCR.

10	Liabilities with matching interdependent assets: any liabilities that meet the descriptions in BLR rule 70 and match with interdependent assets should be included in this row and excluded from all other ASF items. For note-issuing banks, this row also includes the amount of legal tender notes in circulation issued by them, as follows: - for unweighted value, the legal tender notes in circulation 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 legal tender notes as $0; or (b) apply BLR rules 65 and 68 to determine such weighted amounts in accordance with BLR rule 69(2).
11	Other liabilities: the sum of values in rows 12 and 13.
12	Net derivative liabilities: in the unweighted cell, report the amount of net derivatives liabilities as calculated according to Part 9 of the BLR (i.e. the net amount of total derivative liabilities (after adjustments) in excess of total derivative assets (after adjustments)). The cell for weighted amount under net derivative liabilities is darkened given that the value will be zero after the 0% ASF is applied.
13	All other funding and liabilities not included in the above categories: report in this row all other funding and liabilities that are counted towards ASF under the BLR but not included in rows 1 to 12 above (e.g. debt securities or prescribed instruments issued, deferred tax liabilities, trade-date payables, etc).
14	Total ASF: the sum of all weighted amounts in rows 1, 4, 7, 10 and 11.
15 to 31	For any assets that are not free from encumbrances (as defined in Part 9 of the BLR), report the unweighted value in columns (a) to (d) taking into account their remaining terms to maturity and periods of encumbrance (whichever is subject to a higher RSF factor), and the weighted amount (i.e. after the applicable RSF factor for encumbered assets) in column (e).
15	Total HQLA for NSFR purposes: being unencumbered high quality liquid assets without regard to LCR operational requirements and caps on Level 2 and Level 2B assets that might otherwise limit the ability of some HQLA to be included as eligible in calculation of the LCR. Under the BLR, these items include: 1. currency notes and coins; 2. 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 3. 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.

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 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 note-issuing 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.
33	Total RSF: the sum of all weighted amounts in rows 15, 16, 17, 25, 26 and 32.
34	Net Stable Funding Ratio (%): presented as quarter-end observations.

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 non-securitization 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.

1. 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.

Template CR1: Credit quality of exposures

Purpose:	To provide an overview of the credit quality of on- and off-balance sheet exposures.
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.
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should provide its definition of “default”.

1	Loans
2	Debt securities
3	Off-balance sheet exposures
4	Total

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a) and (b)	Gross carrying amounts: these represent the items that give rise to on- or off-balance sheet credit exposures that are subject to capital requirements under the BCR. 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.
(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: 1. 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; 2. 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.

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.
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should explain the drivers of any material changes in the amounts of defaulted exposures in the current reporting period and any material movement between defaulted and non-defaulted exposures.
Corresponding BDR section:	16I

		(a)
		Amount
1	Defaulted loans and debt securities at end of the previous reporting period
2	Loans and debt securities that have defaulted since the last reporting period
3	Returned to non-defaulted status
4	Amounts written off
5	Other changes
6	Defaulted loans and debt securities at end of the current reporting period

Explanatory Note
Rows
1	Defaulted loans and debt securities at end of the previous reporting period: the scope of loans and debt securities reported in this template should be the same as that in Template CR1 (rows 1 to 2 therein). 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.
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.

1. 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)	1. description of policies and procedures for netting of on- and off-balance sheet exposures; 2. 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 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).

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 pro-rata 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.

(a)	Exposures unsecured: carrying amount: the carrying amount of exposures (net of allowances / impairments) that do not benefit from any recognized CRM.
(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. In case an exposure is secured by recognized credit derivative contracts and other form(s) of recognized CRM, the carrying amount of the exposure secured by recognized credit derivative contracts is the remaining share of the exposure secured by such credit derivative contracts 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.

1. 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 IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach, such exposures 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: 1. the exposure amounts and RWA calculated under the STC approach are negligible; 2. the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and 3. 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.
Content:	Qualitative information.

(b)	the exposure classes for which each ECAI is used; and
(c)	description of the process used to transfer the ECAI issuer rating to ECAI issue specific rating onto comparable exposures in the banking book.

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. IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach should report such exposures 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: 1. the exposure amounts and RWA calculated are negligible; 2. the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and 3. 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.
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. 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.

1. Credit risk under internal ratings-based approach

Table CRE: Qualitative disclosures related to internal models for measuring credit risk under IRB approach

Purpose:	To provide additional information on the internal models used to calculate RWA for credit risk, describing the main characteristics of the models used at the group-wide level and the scope of models.
Scope of application:	The table is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use the IRB calculation approaches for some or all of their exposures. An AI should provide meaningful information to users on their use of internal models. The AI should describe the main characteristics of the 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 is determined. The commentary should include the percentage of RWAs covered by the models for each of the AI’s regulatory portfolios.
Content:	Qualitative information.
Frequency:	Annual.
Format:	Flexible. The commentary should include the percentage of RWAs covered by the models for each of the AI’s regulatory portfolios.
Corresponding BDR section:	16P

An AI should provide the following information on its use of the internal models:
(a)	1. Internal model development, controls and changes; 2. Role of the functions involved in the development, approval and subsequent changes of the credit risk models.
(b)	1. Relationships between risk management function and internal audit function; 2. 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 non-securitization 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.
(f)	1. The number of key models used with respect to each portfolio; 2. A brief discussion of the main differences among the models within the same portfolios.
(g)	Description of the main characteristics of the approved models: 1. definitions, methods and data for estimation and validation of PD (e.g. how PDs are estimated for low default portfolios; if there are regulatory floors, the drivers for differences observed between PD and actual default rates at least for the last three reporting periods); 2. LGD (e.g. methods to calculate downturn LGD; how LGDs are estimated for low default portfolio; the time lapse between the default event and the closure of the exposure), where applicable; and 3. credit conversion factors, including assumptions employed in the derivation of these variables, where applicable.

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.)
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain any material changes in the current reporting period and the key drivers of such changes.

(b)	Actual RWA: RWA calculated taking into account the CRM effect of the recognized credit derivative contracts in accordance with Division 10, Part 6 of the BCR. If an AI does not consider the CRM effect of recognized credit derivative contracts in its RWA calculation of an exposure, or if certain exposures are not eligible for recognizing any CRM effect from credit derivative contracts, the AI should report identical amounts in both columns for these exposures.

Template CR8: RWA flow statements of credit risk exposures under IRB approach

Purpose:	To present a flow statement explaining variations in the RWA for credit risk determined under the IRB approach.
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:	RWA. Changes in RWA in the current reporting period for each of the key drivers should be based on an AI’s reasonable estimation of the figures.
Frequency:	Quarterly.
Format:	Fixed. Columns and rows 1 and 9 should not be altered. An AI should add additional rows between rows 7 and 8 to disclose additional elements, if any, that contribute materially to RWA variations.

7	Foreign exchange movements: the variation in RWA driven by foreign exchange rate movements.
8	Other: this category captures variation in RWA that cannot be attributed to any category above. An AI should add additional rows between rows 7 and 8 (to be named 7a, 7b and so on) to disclose other material drivers of RWA movements in the current reporting period.
9	RWA as at end of reporting period: the sum of rows 1 to 8 (including any additional row(s) inserted by the AI).

Template CR9: Back-testing of PD per portfolio – for IRB approach

Purpose:	To provideback-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.

(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 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 obligorsin 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.

(a)	Replacement Cost (RC): for the SA-CCR approach, means the RC calculated under the SA-CCR approach in accordance with Division 1A, Part 6A of the BCR. For the CEM, means the RC calculated under the CEM in accordance with Division 2A, Part 6A of the BCR.
(b)	PFE: For SA-CCR approach, means the PFE calculated under the SA-CCR approach in accordance with Division 1A, Part 6A of the BCR. For CEM, means the PFE calculated under the CEM in accordance with Division 2A, Part 6A of the BCR.
(c)	Effective EPE: this has the meaning given to it by the BCR.
(d)	Alpha (α) used for computing default risk exposure:under the CEM, SA-CCR approach or IMM(CCR) approach, as the case may be, means the alpha applicable to the AI as specified in the BCR.
(e)	Default risk exposure after CRM: In the case of the SA-CCR approach, the CEM, the IMM(CCR) approach, SFTs subject to BCR §226MJ for which the CRM effect is taken into account by using the simple approach and SFTs subject to BCR §226MK or 226ML, means the default risk exposure or outstanding default risk exposure, as the case may be, as defined under the BCR. In the case of SFTs subject to BCR §226MJ for which the CRM effect is taken into account by using the comprehensive approach under Part 4 of the BCR, the amount disclosed in row 4 should be the amount calculated after taking into account any recognized collateral received under the SFTs. In the case of recognized guarantees and recognized credit derivative contracts where the CRM effect is taken into account in accordance with Parts 4 and 5 of the BCR, the default risk exposure (or outstanding default risk exposure) after taking into account the guarantee or credit derivative contract is equal to the default risk exposure (or outstanding default risk exposure) as defined under the BCR. In the case of recognized collateral for SFTs subject to BCR §226MJ, recognized guarantees and recognized credit derivative contracts where the CRM effect is considered in the risk-weight function under Part 6 of the BCR, the post-CRM default risk exposure reported in column (e) is equal to the pre-CRM default risk exposure given that the related CRM effect is not reflected in the EAD of eligible IRB exposures. For the purposes of this disclosure template— - CRM does not include recognized collateral received by an AI outside a netting set where the collateral is not designated solely for offsetting losses on default risk exposures. - Simple approach — - in relation to the STC approach, means the simple approach set out in Division 6 of Part 4 of the BCR; and - in relation to the BSC approach, means the method of reducing the risk-weighted amount of an exposure set out in Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCR.
(f)	RWA: the product of the default risk exposure after CRM and the risk weight applicable to the counterparty concerned.

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. IRB AIs with exposures subject to the STC approach should report such exposures 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: 1. the default risk exposure amounts and RWA for default risk exposure calculated under the STC or BSC approach, where applicable, are negligible; 2. the AI has clearly stated this fact in the disclosure statement; and 3. 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.
Content:	Default risk exposure amounts.
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.

Template CCR4: Counterparty credit risk exposures (other than those to CCPs) by portfolio and PD range – for IRB approach

Purpose:	To provide all the relevant parameters used for the calculation of counterparty credit risk capital requirements for IRB exposures (other than those to CCPs).
Scope of application:	The template is mandatory for AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use the IRB approach for some or all of their exposures, irrespective of the approach used to determine their default risk exposure amounts. An AI 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 for each of the regulatory portfolios.
Content:	RWA and parameters used in RWA calculations for exposures to counterparty credit risk (excluding exposures cleared through a CCP) and where the IRB approach is used for credit risk calculation. All disclosures are based on the regulatory scope of consolidation for capital adequacy purposes.
Frequency:	Semi-annual.
Format:	Fixed. Where an AI makes use of both the FIRB and AIRB approaches for credit risk, it should disclose the two approaches in separate templates. For each IRB calculation approach used, the AI should disclose the portfolio types subject to the IRB calculation approaches by major IRB class (which are in line with the classification used in the BCR) as follows:- (i) Sovereign; (ii) Bank; (iii) Corporate; and (iv) Retail. Divide the table into various sections, one section for each of the IRB classes according to (i) to (iv) aforementioned.

The value in this row multiplied by 12.5 is equal to the value in [CMS1:5/b] (Note: The linkage to [CMS1:5/b] will not hold if an AI using the STM approach for market risk also uses SEC-IRBA and/or SEC-IAA when determining the default risk charge component for securitizations held in the trading book).
14	Difference in market risk capital charge under the IMA and STM approach for trading desks assigned to the green or yellow zone: this is the difference between the market risk capital charges for trading desks that fulfil the back-testing requirements and assigned to green zone and yellow zone in the profit and loss attribution test calculated under the IMA (i.e. IMAG,Y calculated in accordance with Division 13, Part 8 of the BCR) and the STM approach (i.e. SAG,Y calculated in accordance with Division 13, Part 8 of the BCR). The value reported in this row should be a negative value if the value of IMAG,Y is smaller than that of SAG,Y.
15	Market risk capital charge for all trading desks (including those subject to the IMA) calculated using the STM approach: this is the market risk capital charge for all instruments across all trading desks of the AI, regardless of whether those trading desks are subject to the IMA, calculated under the STM approach (i.e. SAall desks calculated in accordance with Divisions 1A to 1D, Part 8 of the BCR). The value in this row multiplied by 12.5 should be equal to the value in [CMS1:5/d] (Note: The linkage to [CMS1:5/d] will not hold if an AI using the STM approach for market risk also uses SEC-IRBA and/or SEC-IAA when determining the default risk charge component for securitizations held in the trading book).
16	Total market risk capital charge: total market risk capital charge calculated in accordance with Part 8 of the BCR. The value in this row minus [MR2:13] is equal to [OV1:22/c]. The value in this row minus [MR2:13] and then multiplied by 12.5 is also equal to [CMS1:5/a] (Note: The linkage to [CMS1:5/a] will not hold if an AI using the STM approach for market risk also uses SEC-IRBA and/or SEC-IAA when determining the default risk charge component for securitizations held in the trading book.) The value in this row multiplied by 12.5 is equal to [CMS1:5/c].

Part IX: Operational risk

An AI should ensure that disclosures made under this Part are consistent with the BCR, completion instructions to banking return and other supervisory guidance (including code of practices) for implementing the Basel III revised operational risk capital framework.

Table ORA: General information on operational risk framework

Purpose:	To describe the main characteristics and elements of an AI’s operational risk management framework.
Scope of application:	The table is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Qualitative information.
Frequency:	Annual.
Format:	Flexible.
Corresponding BDR section:	16ZQA

An AI should describe:
1. Its policies, frameworks and guidelines for the management of operational risk.
1. The organisational structure of its operational risk management and control function.
1. 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).
1. The scope and main context of its reporting framework on operational risk to senior management and to the board of directors.
1. 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.

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.
Content:	Quantitative information.
Frequency:	Annual.
Format:	Fixed.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should supplement the template with narrative commentary explaining the rationale in aggregate, for new exclusions of operational risk losses since disclosure in the last reporting period. An AI should disclose any other material information, in aggregate, that would help inform users as to their historical operational risk losses or their recoveries, with the exception of confidential and proprietary information, including information about legal reserves.

Points to note: 1. Loss amounts and the associated recoveries (i.e. receipt of payments) should be reported in the annual reporting period in which they were recorded in financial statements. 2. AIs must use the date of accounting for building the loss data set. That is (i) the date (or dates) when a loss event results in a loss, reserve or provision against a loss being recognised in the AI’s profit and loss (P&L) accounts or (ii) for losses related to legal events, the date when a legal reserve is established for the probable estimated loss in the P&L accounts. 3. Losses caused by a common operational risk event or by related operational risk events over time, but posted to the accounts over several years, should be allocated to the corresponding annual reporting periods in line with their accounting treatment. 4. An operational event having an overall positive financial impact over the disclosure period should not be included in this template. 5. The HKD200,000 threshold also includes losses listed in the HKD1 million threshold.

3a	Net P&L on trading book: This comprises (i) gains minus losses on trading assets and trading liabilities (derivatives, debt securities, equity securities, loans and advances, short positions, other assets and liabilities); (ii) gains minus losses from hedge accounting; and (iii) gains minus losses from exchange differences.
3b	Net P&L on banking book: This comprises (i) gains minus losses on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through the profit and loss account; (ii) realised gains minus losses on financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through the profit and loss accounts (loans and advances, assets available for sale, assets held to maturity, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost); (iii) gains minus losses from hedge accounting; and (iv) gains minus losses from exchange differences.
4	The BI is the sum of the three components: ILDC, SC and FC (i.e. sum of values in rows 1, 2 and 3).
5	The BIC is calculated by multiplying the BI by a set of regulatory determined marginal coefficients as set out in Part 9 of the BCR. The marginal coefficients increase with the size of the BI: 12% for BI ≤ HKD10 billion; 15% for HKD10 billion< BI ≤HKD300 billion; and 18% for BI > HKD300 billion. The value in [OR2:5/a] should be equal to [OR3:1/a].
Disclosure on BI under rows 6a and 6b should be reported by AIs that have received MA’s approval to exclude divested businesses and activities from the calculation of the BI.
6a	The BI reported in this row includes divested businesses and activities.
6b	Difference between BI gross of divested businesses and activities (row 6a) and BI net of divested businesses and activities (row 4).

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.

Template CMS2: Comparison of modelled and standardized RWAs for credit risk at exposure class level

Purpose:	To compare RWAs calculated according to the STC approach for output floor calculation (i.e. in accordance with BCR §356(2)(a)) for credit risk for non-securitization exposures at the exposure class level against the corresponding RWA figure calculated under the approaches, including both the STC approach and IRB approach (including the supervisory slotting criteria approach), used by the AI for calculating its credit risk.
Scope of application:	The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong that use IRB approach for all or part of its credit risk for non-securitization exposures. Same as row 1 of Template CMS1, it excludes all positions subject to capital requirements relating to counterparty credit risk and default fund contribution, CVA risk, CIS, settlement risk and securitization framework (including securitization exposures in the banking book) and amounts below the thresholds for deduction from CET1 capital and subject to a 250% risk-weight.
Content:	RWA.
Frequency:	Semi-annual.
Format:	Fixed. The columns are fixed, but the portfolio breakdowns in the rows reflect the exposure classification under Part 6 and Part 4 of the BCR. AIs are encouraged to add rows to show where significant differences occur.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should explain the main drivers of differences between the internally modelled amounts disclosed that are used to calculate their capital ratios and amounts disclosed should the AI apply the STC approach in accordance with Part 11 of the BCR. Where differences are attributable to mapping between IRB approach and STC approach, the AI is encouraged to provide explanation and estimated materiality.

Part XI: Asset encumbrance

Template ENC: Asset encumbrance

Purpose:	To provide the amount of encumbered and unencumbered assets.
Scope of application:	The template is mandatory for all AIs incorporated in Hong Kong.
Content:	Carrying amount for encumbered and unencumbered assets on the balance sheet using period-end values. An AI should use the specific definition of “encumbered assets” set out in BDR §16ZQG(2) and the explanatory notes below in making the disclosure. The scope of consolidation for the purposes of this disclosure requirement should be the AI’s regulatory scope of consolidation, and any assets (including those relevant to securitization exposures) meeting the definition of “encumbered asset” should be included in the disclosure.
Frequency:	Semi-annual.
Format:	Fixed. An AI should group any assets used in central bank facilities with other encumbered and unencumbered assets, as appropriate.
Accompanying narrative:	An AI should supplement the template with a narrative commentary to explain (i) any significant change in the amount of encumbered and unencumbered assets from the previous disclosure; and (ii) any other relevant information necessary to understand the context of the disclosed figures.
Corresponding BDR section:	16ZQG

The assets on the balance sheet would be disaggregated; there can be as much disaggregation as desired

Explanatory Note
Columns
(a)	Encumbered assets: Encumbered assets are assets that the AI is restricted or prevented from liquidating, selling, transferring or assigning due to legal, regulatory, contractual or other limitations. The definition of “encumbered assets” in this template excludes the aspect of asset monetisation (which is required for an asset to be qualified as high-quality liquid assets in the BLR. 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.

1. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant explanatory notes, any terms and definitions used in the disclosure templates and tables shall have the meanings assigned to them by the Banking (Capital) Rules (“BCR”), Banking (Liquidity) Rules (“BLR”) and the Banking (Disclosure) Rules (“BDR”), as the context may require. ↑

2. ‘L’ denotes a disclosure template/table applicable to authorized institutions (“AIs”) incorporated in Hong Kong; ‘O’ denotes a disclosure template/table applicable to AIs incorporated outside Hong Kong. ↑

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:

   https://www.bis.org/bcbs/gsib/reporting_instructions.htm. ↑

6. The allocation of exposures to jurisdictions should be made taking into account the clarifications provided by RBC30 of the Basel framework. ↑

7. 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. ↑

8. These refer to the 15% ceiling on level 2B assets and the 40% ceiling on the sum of level 2A and level 2B assets. ↑

9. To avoid doubt, this row includes unsecured wholesale funding received in the course of providing correspondent banking and prime brokerage services (as defined in BLR rule 39). ↑

10. To avoid doubt, any expected cash outflows arising from the redemption of asset-backed securities, covered bonds or other structured financial instruments issued by the category 1 institution within the LCR period are to be reported in row 12 instead. ↑

11. The 75% inflow cap is binding on a category 1 institution if its weighted amount of total expected cash inflows exceeds 75% of its weighted amount of total expected cash outflows, in which case the excess portion cannot be used to offset the weighted amount of total expected cash outflows. ↑

12. For “SFTs” reported in columns (e) and (f), the collateral used is defined as referring to both legs of the transaction. For example, an AI transfers securities to a third party, which in turn posts collateral to the AI. The AI should report both legs of the transaction in the template; on one hand the collateral received is reported in column (e), on the other hand the collateral posted by the AI is reported in column (f). ↑

13. ”Domestic currency” refers to the AI’s reporting currency (not the currency / currencies in which the derivative contract or SFT is denominated). ↑

14. “Clearing client” here may mean a direct client, or an indirect client within a multi-level client structure, as applicable. These terms have the meaning given by the BCR. ↑

15. For clarity, “originator” has the meaning given by Part 7 of the BCR, which includes a person who serves as a sponsor of an ABCP programme or a programme with similar features. ↑

16. Capital charges after cap in columns (n) to (q) will refer to capital charges after application of the caps on risk-weights for senior exposures and maximum capital charge under Part 7 of the BCR. ↑

17. Capital charges after cap in columns (n) to (q) will refer to capital charges after application of the caps on risk-weights for senior exposures and maximum capital charge under Part 7 of the BCR. ↑
