⑤Figures are

|
⑥Figures are
adjusted to exclude foreign currency swap deposits. Hong Kong dollar is the
legal tender in the Hong Kong Special |
|

|
Administrative Region, as stated in "The Basic Law of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China". |
|||||
|
Foreign currency refers to any currency other than the Hong Kong
currency. Accordingly Chinese Renminbi is also treated as foreign currency. |

|
⑦Figures are
based on average of the closing
middle-market telegraphic transfer rates or notes rates for the year. |

@ Population figures presented in this table may be different from those
presented in earlier editions of this Yearbook. The same applies to |
|||||
|
other statistics which in the process of their compilation have
involved the use of population figures.
The differences may be due to one or |
|||||
|
both
of the following reasons : |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The change in the
approach for compiling population figures since August 2000. |
|
|
|
||
|
2. The availability of up-to-date
benchmark population data based on the results of the 2001 Population Census. |
