| Abstract | Both HK dollar deposits and loans slowed over the quarter. The average cost of funds declined while the best lending rate remained firm enabling the sector to benefit from a further widening in interest margins. However, the level of bad debt provisions of local banks increased slightly, underlining the need for banks to keep the level of their provisions under close review. |
