| Abstract | Hong Kong banks are well-capitalised, liquid and profitable. A cautious approach to deregulation has resulted in almost all time deposits having been deregulated but with a firewall left between current and savings deposits and the deregulated deposits. In line with intenational standards, banks are now required to disclose more accounting information. The Monetary Authority is studying whether to introduce new capital requirements on market risk, including that attributable to derivatives. |
