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

In Hong Kong, customer accounts, including accounts reclassified as trading,increased by HK$20.0 billion, or 1.5 per cent. Current accounts and demanddeposits fell by HK$161 billion reflecting the shift into savings and timedeposits as interest rates rose during 2005, coupled with a net outflow ofdeposits from personal customers attributable to intense market competition inthe higher interest rate environment.

Deposits from personal customers increasedby 8.5 per cent, notably in mainland China, Singapore and Indonesia.

Derivatives Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their value from the price ofan underlying item such as equities, bonds, interest rates, foreign exchangerates, credit spreads, commodity prices and equity or other indices. Derivatives enable users to increase, reduce or alter exposure to credit ormarket risks. The group makes markets in derivatives for its customers and usesderivatives to manage its exposure to credit and market risks. Derivatives are carried at fair value and are shown in the balance sheet asseparate totals of assets and liabilities. Asset and liability values representthe cost to the group of replacing all transactions, with positive or negativefair value respectively, assuming that all of the group's relevantcounterparties default at the same time, and that the transactions can bereplaced instantaneously. Derivative assets and liabilities on different transactions are only netted ifthe transactions are with the same counterparty, a legal right of set-off existsand the cash flows are intended to be settled on a net basis. Changes in thevalues of derivatives are recognised in 'Net trading income' or 'Net income fromfinancial instruments designated at fair value' unless they qualify as hedgesfor accounting purposes. 2005 2004 Figures in HK$m Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Fair values of derivative open positions held for trading purposes Exchange rate 31,074 29,254 54,247 54,302 Interest rate 36,004 35,739 38,430 36,185 Equity 1,388 2,570 1,475 1,518Credit 970 2,802 240 351Commodity and other 288 568 6 6 69,724 70,933 94,398 92,362 Fair values of outstanding derivatives designated as fair value hedges Interest rate 658 437 - - Fair values of outstanding derivatives designated as cash flow hedges Interest rate 1,657 639 - - Total 72,039 72,009 94,398 92,362 The tables below give the nominal contract amounts, credit equivalent amountsand risk-weighted amounts of off-balance sheet transactions. The creditequivalent amounts are calculated for the purposes of deriving the risk-weightedamounts. These are assessed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the HongKong Banking Ordinance on capital adequacy and depend on the status of thecounterparty and the maturity characteristics. The risk weights used range fromzero per cent to 50 per cent for exchange rate and interest rate contracts, andfrom zero per cent to 100 per cent for other derivative contracts. The group hasexecuted close-out netting agreements with certain counterparties, which allowfor positive and negative mark-to-market values on different transactions to beoffset and settled by a single payment in the event of default by either party.These have been taken into account in calculating total risk assets. Derivatives arise from futures, forward, swap and option transactions undertakenby the group in the foreign exchange, interest rate, equity, credit andcommodity markets. The contract amounts of these instruments indicate the volumeof transactions outstanding at the balance sheet date; they do not representamounts at risk. 2005 2004 Credit Risk- Credit Risk- Contract equivalent weighted Contract equivalent weighted Figures in HK$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 creditequivalent amounts are calculated for the purposes of deriving the risk-weightedamounts. These are assessed in accordance with the Third Schedule of the HongKong Banking Ordinance on capital adequacy and depend on the status of thecounterparty and the maturity characteristics. The risk-weights used range from0 per cent to 100 per cent for contingent liabilities and commitments. Contingent liabilities and commitments are credit-related instruments whichinclude letters of credit, guarantees and commitments to extend credit. Thecontract amounts represent the amounts at risk should the contract be fullydrawn upon and the client default. Since a significant portion of guarantees andcommitments is expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total of thecontract amounts is not representative of future liquidity requirements. In 2005, assets and liabilities relating to acceptances and endorsements wererecognised on the balance sheet, and have been included in 'Other assets' and'Other liabilities'. This reclassification was made on adoption of the newaccounting standards. 32.
