Advances in Hong Kong grew by HK$31 billion, or 5.3 per cent, since the end of 2004, on account of the buoyant economy. Mortgage lending fell, attributable to persistent price competition in a flat market, and lending under the GHOS continued to decline as the scheme remained suspended during 2005. Other personal lending rose, mainly on credit cards, reflecting the increase in cardholder spending. Corporate and commercial lending rose by 11.0 per cent, with particularly strong growth in the manufacturing sector and property investment. In the rest of Asia-Pacific, advances rose by HK$49 billion, or 14.8 per cent, since the end of 2004, reflecting successful business expansion across the region. Mortgage advances increased by 19.0 per cent, principally in Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and India. Credit card receivables grew by 31.7 per cent, largely in Taiwan, India, the Philippines and India. Lending to corporate and commercial customers rose by 9.1 per cent, most significantly in mainland China, Korea and India. 22.

Cross-border exposure The country risk exposures shown below are prepared in accordance with the HKMA Return of External Positions Part II: Cross-Border Claims (MA(BS)9) guidelines. Cross-border claims are on-balance sheet exposures to counterparties based on the location of the counterparties after taking into account the transfer of risk. The tables show claims on individual countries and territories or areas, after risk transfer, amounting to 10 per cent or more of the aggregate cross-border claims. Cross-border risk is controlled centrally through a well-developed system of country limits and is frequently reviewed to avoid concentration of transfer, economic or political risk.

Certain structured deposits that were previously recorded in 'Other deposit accounts' have, in accordance with revised accounting standards, been reclassified in 2005 to 'Trading liabilities'. Excluding the effect of this reclassification, customer accounts rose by HK$84 billion, or 4.9 per cent. In Hong Kong, customer accounts, including accounts reclassified as trading, increased by HK$20.0 billion, or 1.5 per cent. Current accounts and demand deposits fell by HK$161 billion reflecting the shift into savings and time deposits as interest rates rose during 2005, coupled with a net outflow of deposits from personal customers attributable to intense market competition in the higher interest rate environment. Customer account balances, including trading accounts, in Commercial Banking and Corporate, Investment Banking and Markets increased by HK$43 billion, or 10.2 per cent, reflecting the success of the group's cash management capabilities in attracting new deposits from small and larger businesses alike. In the rest of Asia-Pacific, customer accounts, including trading accounts, rose by HK$65 billion, or 15.7 per cent. Deposits from personal customers increased by 8.5 per cent, notably in mainland China, Singapore and Indonesia. Deposits in Commercial Banking and Corporate, Investment Banking and Markets grew by 19.6 per cent, with increases in mainland China, India, Korea, Singapore, Brunei and Taiwan, attributable to business expansion, particularly in the payments and cash management business, and higher balances from securities custody and clearing customers. The group's advances-to-deposits ratio increased to 57.6 per cent at 31 December 2005 from 53.2 per cent at 31 December 2004. 26.

This classification in 2005 was made on adoption of HKAS 39. There was no such category in 2004. 28.

Derivatives Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from the price of an underlying item such as equities, bonds, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodity prices and equity or other indices. Derivatives enable users to increase, reduce or alter exposure to credit or market risks. The group makes markets in derivatives for its customers and uses derivatives to manage its exposure to credit and market risks. Derivatives are carried at fair value and are shown in the balance sheet as separate totals of assets and liabilities. Asset and liability values represent the cost to the group of replacing all transactions, with positive or negative fair value respectively, assuming that all of the group's relevant counterparties default at the same time, and that the transactions can be replaced instantaneously. Derivative assets and liabilities on different transactions are only netted if the transactions are with the same counterparty, a legal right of set-off exists and the cash flows are intended to be settled on a net basis. Changes in the values of derivatives are recognised in 'Net trading income' or 'Net income from financial instruments designated at fair value' unless they qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. 2005 2004 Figures in HK$m Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Fair values of derivative open positions held for trading purposes Exchange rate 31,074 29,254 54,247 54,302 Interest rate 36,004 35,739 38,430 36,185 Equity 1,388 2,570 1,475 1,518 Credit 970 2,802 240 351 Commodity and other 288 568 6 6 69,724 70,933 94,398 92,362 Fair values of outstanding derivatives designated as fair value hedges Interest rate 658 437 - - Fair values of outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges Interest rate 1,657 639 - - Total 72,039 72,009 94,398 92,362 The tables below give the nominal contract amounts, credit equivalent amounts and risk-weighted amounts of off-balance sheet transactions. The credit equivalent amounts are calculated for the purposes of deriving the risk-weighted amounts. These are assessed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance on capital adequacy and depend on the status of the counterparty and the maturity characteristics. The risk weights used range from zero per cent to 50 per cent for exchange rate and interest rate contracts, and from zero per cent to 100 per cent for other derivative contracts. The group has executed close-out netting agreements with certain counterparties, which allow for positive and negative mark-to-market values on different transactions to be offset and settled by a single payment in the event of default by either party. These have been taken into account in calculating total risk assets. Derivatives arise from futures, forward, swap and option transactions undertaken by the group in the foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, credit and commodity markets. The contract amounts of these instruments indicate the volume of transactions outstanding at the balance sheet date; they do not represent amounts at risk. 2005 2004 Credit Risk- Credit Risk- Contract equivalent weighted Contract equivalent weighted Figures in HK$m amount amount amount amount amount amount Exchange rate contracts: - Spot and forward foreign exchange 2,536,795 36,655 9,753 2,411,793 46,694 11,759 - Swaps and other exchange rate contracts 884,046 41,124 12,481 696,883 39,635 11,180 3,420,841 77,779 22,234 3,108,676 86,329 22,939 Interest rate contracts: - Interest rate swaps 4,775,236 55,580 14,442 3,754,053 57,131 14,679 - Other interest rate contracts 815,110 4,159 1,340 684,692 3,117 875 5,590,346 59,739 15,782 4,438,745 60,248 15,554 Other derivative contracts 289,019 15,885 5,649 71,395 4,030 1,222 Impact of counterparty netting agreements on derivatives exposure - (55,354) (11,915) - (59,487) (12,535) 31.

The credit equivalent amounts are calculated for the purposes of deriving the risk-weighted amounts. These are assessed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the Hong Kong Banking Ordinance on capital adequacy and depend on the status of the counterparty and the maturity characteristics. The risk-weights used range from 0 per cent to 100 per cent for contingent liabilities and commitments. Contingent liabilities and commitments are credit-related instruments which include letters of credit, guarantees and commitments to extend credit. The contract amounts represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fully drawn upon and the client default. Since a significant portion of guarantees and commitments is expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of the contract amounts is not representative of future liquidity requirements. In 2005, assets and liabilities relating to acceptances and endorsements were recognised on the balance sheet, and have been included in 'Other assets' and 'Other liabilities'. This reclassification was made on adoption of the new accounting standards. 32.
