Total deposits with authorised institutions rose 3.9% in November, with Hong Kong dollar deposits rising 3.3% and foreign currency deposits 4.6%.
The Monetary Authority said renminbi deposits amounted to 10.6 billion yuan, compared with 8.4 billion yuan in October.
Total loans and advances expanded for the fourth consecutive month by 3.2% in November, with loans for use in Hong Kong increasing 3% and those for use outside rising 4.3%.
Analysed by currency, Hong Kong dollar and foreign currency loans both recorded an increase. As the rate of increase in Hong Kong dollar deposits was smaller than that of Hong Kong dollar loans, the loan-to-deposit ratio edged up to 84% in November.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, Hong Kong dollar M1 rose by 3.1% in November and by 23% from a year ago.
Unadjusted Hong Kong dollar M2 rose by 3.1% and M3 by 3% during the month, and increased by 5.5% and 5.2% from a year earlier.
