Total deposits with authorized institutions in April rose 2.5 percent from March, while Hong Kong dollar deposits expanded 2.3 percent and foreign-currency deposits grew 2.8 percent, according to data released by the HKMA.

As Hong Kong dollar loans increased at a slower rate than deposits, the Hong Kong dollar loan-to-deposit ratio declined to 80.4 percent in April from 81.7 percent in March.
