Notes:
Figures are as at end of the year.
With the introduction of the new Return on Loans and Advances and Provisions (as revised from the Return on Loans and Advances for use in Hong Kong) as from December 1994, a number of AIs have re-classified certain components. As a result, the figures are not strictly comparable with those of previous year.
(1)Excluding loans and advances for trade financing.
