On August 7, 2026, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has issued a circular updating the HKMA Liquidity Facilities Framework for authorized institutions. The updated framework contains: Updated minimum haircuts for Standby Liquidity Facilities collateral, including a 2.5% minimum haircut for Settlement Facilities collateral and Hong Kong Government Bonds, no haircut for cash foreign exchange swaps (USD, EUR, RMB, JPY, or GBP), and a 3% minimum haircut for acceptable high-quality liquid securities. Regulations prescribing a minimum haircut of 7% for other acceptable investment-grade securities, while permitting the HKMA to consider a broader scope of supranational debt securities on a case-by-case basis taking into account green considerations. Collateral requirements for contingent term facilities and resolution facilities, establishing minimum haircuts applied over portfolio book values for residential mortgages (at least 2.5% for HOS/PSPS mortgages, 6% for HKMC-compliant mortgages, and 8% for other residential mortgages). The framework takes immediate effect.
