Footnotes:
| 1. The balance sheets comprise the accounts of the Exchange Fund only and do not include those of the subsidiary companies. |
| 2. Starting from January 2005, "Certificates of Indebtedness" and "Government-issued currency notes and coins in circulation" are stated at cost, which is the Hong Kong dollar equivalent of the US dollars required for their redemption at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. As a result, the figures for "Certificates of Indebtedness" and "Government-issued currency notes and coins in circulation" on the balance sheet are different from those shown in the Currency Board Account (Table 8.3) which represent the Hong Kong dollar face value. |
| 3. Starting from January 2005, in accordance with the generally accepted accounting practice in Hong Kong, for the purpose of balance sheet presentation Exchange Fund Bills and Notes held as assets of the Exchange Fund are applied to offset the corresponding liabilities. As a result, the figure for "Exchange Fund Bills and Notes issued" on the balance sheet is smaller than that shown in the Currency Board Account (Table 8.3). |
| 4. Starting from October 2000, "Placements by other institutions" has been broken down into "Placements by banks and other financial institutions" & "Placements by HKSAR government funds and statutory bodies". |
| 5. Starting from December 2009, "Placements by other HKSAR government funds" has been changed to "Placements by Fiscal Reserves". |
