1     Allowance for ECL sensitivity includes off-balance sheet financial instruments. These are subject to significant measurement uncertainty.

2     Includes low credit-risk financial instruments such as debt instruments at FVOCI, which have high carrying amounts but low ECL under all the above scenarios.

3     Excludes defaulted obligors. For a detailed breakdown of performing and non-performing wholesale portfolio exposures, see page 176.

4     Staging refers only to probability-weighted/reported gross carrying amount. Stage allocation of gross exposures varies by scenario, with higher allocation to stage 2 under the Downside 2 scenario.

5     Classified as held for sale at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022.

6   Includes small portfolios that use less complex modelling approaches and are not sensitive to macroeconomic changes.

At 31 December 2023, the highest level of 100% scenario-weighted allowance for ECL was observed in the UK and Hong Kong. This higher ECL impact was largely driven by significant exposure in these regions.

Compared with 31 December 2022, the Downside 2 allowance for ECL was lower in Hong Kong and mainland China, mostly due to the crystallisation of defaults for certain high-risk exposures and a decrease of the associated downside uncertainty.

In the wholesale portfolio, off-balance sheet financial instruments have a lower likelihood to be fully converted to a funded exposure at the point of default, and consequently the sensitivity of the allowance for ECL is lower in relation to its nominal amount, when compared with an on-balance sheet exposure with a similar risk profile.

1   Allowance for ECL sensitivities exclude portfolios utilising less complex modelling approaches.

2   Classified as 'assets held for sale' at 31 December 2023.

3   Includes balances and allowance for ECL, which have been reclassified from 'loans and advances to customers' to 'assets held for sale' in the balance sheet at 31 December 2023. This also includes any balances and allowance for ECL, which continue to be reported as personal lending in 'loans and advances to customers' that are in accordance with the basis of inclusion for retail sensitivity analysis.

At 31 December 2023, the most significant level of allowance for ECL sensitivity was observed in the UK, Mexico and Hong Kong. Mortgages reflected the lowest level of allowance for ECL sensitivity across most markets given the significant levels of collateral relative to the exposure values. Credit cards and other unsecured lending across stage 1 and 2 are more sensitive to economic forecasts and therefore reflected the highest level of allowance for ECL sensitivity during 2023.

There is limited sensitivity in credit cards and other unsecured lending in stage 3 as levels of loss on defaulted exposures remain consistent through various economic conditions. The alternative downside is from the tail of the economic distribution where allowance for ECL is more sensitive based on historical experience.

The reported gross carrying amount by stage is representative of the weighted scenario allowance for ECL. The allowance for ECL sensitivity to the other scenarios includes changes in allowance for ECL due to the levels of loss and the migration of additional lending balances in or out of stage 2. Group ECL sensitivity results

The allowance for ECL of the scenarios and management judgemental adjustments is highly sensitive to movements in economic forecasts. Based upon the sensitivity tables presented above, if the Group allowance for ECL balance was estimated solely on the basis of the Central scenario, Downside scenario or the Downside 2 scenario at 31 December 2023, it would increase/(decrease) as presented in the below table.

100% Downside 2 scenario	1.8	5.5

1     On the same basis as retail and wholesale sensitivity analysis.

At 31 December 2023, the Group allowance for ECL remained unchanged in the retail portfolio and decreased by $0.6bn in the wholesale portfolio, compared with 31 December 2022.

The decrease in the Downside 2 scenario sensitivity within the wholesale portfolio since 31 December 2022 has been mostly driven by the crystallisation of defaults of higher risk exposures to the mainland China real estate sector and a reduction of related uncertainty. Within the retail portfolio, the increase in the Downside 2 scenario sensitivity was due to portfolio growth in Mexico and scenario forecast deterioration in Hong Kong.

At 31 December 2023, the sensitivity of the allowance for ECL to the consensus Central and consensus Upside scenarios decreased for both retail and wholesale portfolios due to lower macroeconomic forecast uncertainty, and the return to standardised weighting for the probability-weighted reported allowance.

Reconciliations of changes in gross carrying/nominal amount and allowances for loans and advances to banks and customers including loan commitments and financial guarantees

The following disclosure provides a reconciliation by stage of the Group's gross carrying/nominal amount and allowances for loans and advances to banks and customers, including loan commitments and financial guarantees.

In addition, a reconciliation by stage of the Group's gross carrying amount and allowances for loans and advances to banks and customers and a reconciliation by stage of the Group's nominal amount and allowances for loan commitments and financial guarantees were included in this section following the adoption of the recommendations of the DECL Taskforce's third report.

Movements are calculated on a quarterly basis and therefore fully capture stage movements between quarters. If movements were calculated on a year-to-date basis they would only reflect the opening and closing position of the financial instrument.

The transfers of financial instruments represents the impact of stage transfers upon the gross carrying/nominal amount and associated allowance for ECL.

The net remeasurement of ECL arising from transfer of stage represents the increase or decrease due to these transfers, for example, moving from a 12-month (stage 1) to a lifetime (stage 2) ECL measurement basis. Net remeasurement excludes the underlying customer risk rating ('CRR')/probability of default ('PD') movements of the financial instruments transferring stage. This is captured, along with other credit quality movements in the 'changes to risk parameters - credit quality' line item.

Changes in 'Net new and further lending/repayments' represents the impact from volume movements within the Group's lending portfolio and includes 'New financial assets originated or purchased', 'assets derecognised (including final repayments)' and 'changes to risk parameters - further lending/repayment'.

As shown in the previous table, the allowance for ECL for loans and advances to customers and banks and relevant loan commitments and financial guarantees decreased $459m during the period from $11,954m at 31 December 2022 to $11,495m at 31 December 2023.

This decrease was driven by:

-     $3,922m of assets written off;

-     $1,596m relating to volume movements, which included the allowance for ECL associated with new originations, assets derecognised and further lending/repayment;

-     $95m relating to credit-related modifications, which resulted in derecognition; and

-     $31m of changes to models used for ECL calculation.

These were partly offset by:

-     $4,830m relating to underlying credit quality changes, including the credit quality impact of financial instruments transferring between stages;

-     $180m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers; and

-     foreign exchange and other movements of $175m.

The ECL charge for the period of $3,383m presented in the previous table consisted of $4,830m relating to underlying credit quality changes, including the credit quality impact of financial instruments transferring between stages and $180m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers.

This was partly offset by $1,596m relating to underlying net book volume movement and $31m in changes to models used for ECL calculation.

Summary views of the movement in wholesale and personal lending are presented on pages 179 and 192.

Credit quality

Credit quality of financial instruments

(Audited)

We assess the credit quality of all financial instruments that are subject to credit risk. The credit quality of financial instruments is a point-in-time assessment of PD, whereas stages 1 and 2 are determined based on relative deterioration of credit quality since initial recognition for the majority of portfolios. Accordingly, for non-credit-impaired financial instruments, there is no direct relationship

between the credit quality assessment and stages 1 and 2, although

typically the lower credit quality bands exhibit a higher proportion in stage 2.

The five credit quality classifications provided below each encompass a range of granular internal credit rating grades assigned to wholesale and personal lending businesses and the external ratings attributed by external agencies to debt securities, as shown in the table on page 148.

1     For the purposes of this disclosure, gross carrying amount is defined as the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance. As such, the gross carrying amount of debt instruments at FVOCI as presented above will not reconcile to the balance sheet as it excludes fair value gains and losses.

Credit-impaired loans

(Audited)

We determine that a financial instrument is credit impaired and in stage 3 by considering relevant objective evidence, primarily whether:

-     contractual payments of either principal or interest are past due for more than 90 days;

-     there are other indications that the borrower is unlikely to pay, such as when a concession has been granted to the borrower for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrower's financial condition; and

-     the loan is otherwise considered to be in default. If such unlikeliness to pay is not identified at an earlier stage, it is deemed

     to occur when an exposure is 90 days past due. Therefore, the definitions of credit impaired and default are aligned as far as possible so that stage 3 represents all loans that are considered defaulted or otherwise credit impaired.

Forbearance

The following table shows the gross carrying amounts and allowances for ECL of the Group's holdings of forborne loans and advances to customers by industry sector and by stages.

A summary of our current policies and practices for forbearance is set out in 'Credit risk management' on page 147.

Wholesale lending

This section provides further details on the major legal entities, countries, territories and products comprising wholesale loans and advances to customers and banks. Product granularity is also provided by stage with legal entity data presented for loans and advances to customers, banks, other credit commitments, financial guarantees and similar contracts. Additionally, this section provides a reconciliation of the opening 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 closing gross carrying/nominal amounts and the associated allowance for ECL.

At 31 December 2023, wholesale lending for loans and advances to banks and customers of $615bn decreased by $9.6bn compared with 31 December 2022. This included favourable foreign exchange movements of $6.1bn. Excluding foreign exchange movements, the total loans and advances to customers decrease of $24.6bn was driven by a $31.5bn decrease in corporate and commercial balances, partly offset by a $6.9bn increase in balances from non-bank financial institutions. In addition, there was a $8.9bn increase in loans and advances to banks.

The underlying reduction in corporate and commercial lending was mainly driven by decreases in Hong Kong (down $18.6bn), in the UK (down $5.4bn), in mainland China (down $2.2bn), in France (down $1.6bn), in the US (down $1.3bn). These were partly offset by increased lending in India (up $1.8bn). There was a $2.1bn decrease from the merger of our business in Oman.

The underlying decrease in loans advances to corporate and commercial customers within stage 2 included repayments within our commercial real estate portfolio in Hong Kong, together with de-risking measures in our mainland China commercial real estate portfolio. In addition, there was a further decrease in the wholesale and retail trade portfolio in the UK largely from repayments and improvements in the economic outlook that led to upgrades to stage 1.

The underlying growth in loans and advances to non-bank financial institutions was mainly driven by the formation of HSBC Innovation Banking, following the acquisition of SVB UK, in the UK (up $6.4bn). In addition, increases in France (up $1.4bn) were partly offset by decreases in mainland China (down $0.9bn).

The underlying growth in loans and advances to banks was mainly driven by central bank balances and money market lending growth in Singapore (up $6.5bn), Hong Kong (up $5.1bn), the UK (up $2.8bn) and Egypt (up $1.5bn). These were partly offset by reductions in mainland China (down $2.6bn), Malaysia (down $1.6bn), Switzerland (down $1.4bn) and the UAE (down $1.2bn). There was also a $0.6bn decrease from the merger of our business in Oman.

Loan commitments and financial guarantees increased by $27.5bn since 31 December 2022 to $419.9bn at 31 December 2023. Excluding favourable foreign exchange movements of $8.7bn, loan commitments and financial guarantees grew by $18.8bn. This can be mainly attributed to a $23.2bn increase in unsettled reverse repurchase agreements, partly offset by a decrease of $6.3bn in loan commitments with corporate and commercial customers.

The allowance for ECL attributable to loans and advances to banks and customers of $8.2bn at 31 December 2023 decreased from $8.6bn at 31 December 2022. This included adverse foreign exchange movements of $0.1bn.

Excluding foreign exchange movements, the total decrease in the wholesale allowance for ECL attributable to loans and advances to customers and banks was mostly driven by a $0.6bn decrease in corporate and commercial balances, partly offset by a $0.1bn increase in loans to non-bank financial institutions and banks.

The allowance for ECL attributable to loan commitments and financial guarantees at 31 December 2023 remained stable at $0.4bn compared with 31 December 2022.

The table below provides a breakdown by industry sector and stage of the Group's gross carrying amount and allowances for ECL for wholesale loans and advances to banks and customers. Counterparties or exposures are classified when presenting comparable economic characteristics, or engaged in similar activities so that their collective ability to meet contractual obligations is uniformly affected by changes in economic, political or other conditions. Therefore, the industry classification does not adhere to Nomenclature des Activités Économiques dans la Communauté Européenne ('NACE'), which is applicable to other financial regulatory reporting.

1   Total includes $13.5bn of gross carrying loans and advances to customers and banks, which were classified to assets held for sale during the year, and a corresponding allowance for ECL of $61m, reflecting business disposals as disclosed in Note 23 'Assets held for sale and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale' on page 401.

As shown in the above table, the allowance for ECL for loans and advances to customers and banks and relevant loan commitments and financial guarantees decreased by $454m during the period from $9,057m at 31 December 2022 to $8,603m at 31 December 2023.

This decrease was driven by:

-     $2,596m of assets written off;

-     $1,149m relating to volume movements, which included the allowance for ECL associated with new originations, assets derecognised and further lending/repayments;

-     $95m relating to credit-related modification, which resulted in derecognition;

-     $16m relating to changes to models used for ECL calculation; and

-     $15m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers.

These were partly offset by:

-     $3,338m of changes to models used for ECL calculation; and

-     foreign exchange and other movements of $79m.

The ECL charge for the period of $2,158m presented in the previous table consisted of $3,338m relating to underlying credit quality changes, including the credit quality impact of financial instruments transferring between stages. This was partly offset by $1,149m relating to underlying net book volume movement, $16m in changes to models used for ECL calculation and $15m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers.

During the period, there was a net transfer to stage 2 of $15,739m gross carrying/nominal amounts. It was primarily driven by $8,792m in Hong Kong, mainly due to deterioration in the real estate and construction sectors, and $6,273m in the UK, mainly driven by increased interest rates affecting the corporate and commercial portfolio.

Commercial real estate

Commercial real estate lending includes the financing of corporate, institutional and high net worth customers who are investing primarily in income-producing assets and, to a lesser extent, in their construction and development. The portfolio has larger concentrations in Hong Kong, the UK, mainland China and the US.

Our global exposure is centred largely on cities with economic, political or cultural significance. In more developed markets, our exposure mainly comprises the financing of investment assets, the redevelopment of existing stock and the augmentation of both commercial and residential markets to support economic and population growth. In less developed commercial real estate markets, our exposures comprise lending for development assets on relatively

short tenors with a particular focus on supporting larger, better capitalised developers involved in residential construction or assets supporting economic expansion.

Excluding favourable foreign exchange movements of $1.1bn, commercial real estate lending decreased by $13.8bn, mainly from $7.4bn in Hong Kong due to loan repayments. The decrease included loan sales of $0.5bn in the US as part of an initiative to reduce the portfolio exposure.

Despite the lower exposure, allowance for  ECL remained at $2.8bn, reflecting the challenging conditions in the commercial property sector, including the impact of lower valuations in the office segment.

Refinance risk in commercial real estate

Commercial real estate lending tends to require the repayment of a significant proportion of the principal at maturity. Typically, a customer will arrange repayment through the acquisition of a new loan to settle the existing debt. Refinance risk is the risk that a customer, being

unable to repay the debt on maturity, fails to refinance it at commercial terms. We monitor our commercial real estate portfolio closely, assessing indicators for signs of potential issues with refinancing.

Commercial real estate financing refers to lending that focuses on commercial development and investment in real estate and covers commercial, residential and industrial assets. The exposures in the table are related to companies whose primary activities are focused on these activities. Lending is generally focused on tier 1 and 2 cities. The table also includes financing provided to a corporate or financial entity for the purchase or financing of a property that supports the overall operations of the business. Such exposures are outside of our normal definition of commercial real estate, as applied elsewhere in this report, but are provided here for a more comprehensive view of our mainland China property exposure.

The table above shows 59% ($7.1bn) of total exposure with a credit quality of 'satisfactory' or above, which was slightly higher in proportion compared with 31 December 2022 (57%, $9.5bn). Total 'credit impaired' exposures increased to 26% ($3.2bn) (31 December 2022: 20%, $3.4bn), reflecting sustained stress in the China commercial real estate market, including weakness in both property market fundamentals and financing conditions for borrowers operating in this sector.

Allowances for ECL are substantially against unsecured exposures. For secured exposures, allowances for ECL are minimal, reflecting the nature and value of the security held.

Facilities booked in Hong Kong continued to represent the largest proportion of mainland China commercial real estate exposures, although total exposures reduced to $6.3bn, down $3.1bn since 31 December 2022, as a result of de-risking measures, repayments

and write-offs. This portfolio remains relatively higher risk, with 33% (31 December 2022: 36%) of exposure booked with a credit quality of 'satisfactory' or above and 47% 'credit impaired' (31 December 2022: 33%).

At 31 December 2023, the Group had allowances for ECL of $1.8bn (31 December 2022: $1.7bn) held against mainland China commercial real estate exposures booked in Hong Kong. ECL coverage increased to 28.5% (31 December 2022: 18.6%), reflecting a further credit deterioration during the year.

Approximately half of the unimpaired exposure in the Hong Kong portfolio is lending to state-owned enterprises and relatively strong private-owned enterprises. This is reflected in the relatively low allowance for ECL in this part of the portfolio.

Market conditions are likely to remain subdued with a protracted recovery as sentiment and domestic residential demand remain weak, with ongoing refinancing and liquidity risk for corporates operating in this market. The divergence between privately-owned enterprises and state-owned enterprises is likely to continue, with state-owned enterprises achieving above-market sales performance, and benefiting from market share gains and better access to funding.

The Group has additional exposures to mainland China commercial real estate as a result of lending to multinational corporates booked outside of mainland China, which is not incorporated in the table above.

Collateral and other credit enhancements

(Audited)

Although collateral can be an important mitigant of credit risk, it is the Group's practice to lend on the basis of the customer's ability to meet their obligations out of cash flow resources rather than placing primary reliance on collateral and other credit risk enhancements. Depending on the customer's standing and the type of product, facilities may be provided without any collateral or other credit enhancements. For other lending, a charge over collateral is obtained and considered in determining the credit decision and pricing. In the event of default, the Group may utilise the collateral as a source of repayment.

Depending on its form, collateral can have a significant financial effect in mitigating our exposure to credit risk. Where there is sufficient collateral, an expected credit loss is not recognised. This is the case for reverse repurchase agreements and for certain loans and advances to customers where the loan to value ('LTV') is very low.

Mitigants may include a charge on borrowers' specific assets, such as real estate or financial instruments. Other credit risk mitigants include short positions in securities and financial assets held as part of linked insurance/investment contracts where the risk is predominantly borne by the policyholder. Additionally, risk may be managed by employing other types of collateral and credit risk enhancements, such as second charges, other liens and unsupported guarantees. Guarantees are normally taken from corporates and export credit agencies. Corporates would normally provide guarantees as part of a parent/subsidiary relationship and span a number of credit grades. The export credit agencies will normally be investment grade.

Certain credit mitigants are used strategically in portfolio management activities. While single name concentrations arise in portfolios managed by Global Banking and Corporate Banking, it is only in Global Banking that their size requires the use of portfolio level credit mitigants. Across Global Banking, risk limits and utilisations, maturity profiles and risk quality are monitored and managed proactively. This process is key to the setting of risk appetite for these larger, more complex, geographically distributed customer groups. While the principal form of risk management continues to be at the point of exposure origination, through the lending decision-making process, Global Banking also utilises loan sales and credit default swap ('CDS') hedges to manage concentrations and reduce risk.

These transactions are the responsibility of a dedicated Global Banking portfolio management team. Hedging activity is carried out within agreed credit parameters, and is subject to market risk limits and a robust governance structure. Where applicable, CDSs are entered into directly with a central clearing house counterparty. Otherwise, the Group's exposure to CDS protection providers is diversified among mainly banking counterparties with strong credit ratings.

CDS mitigants are held at portfolio level and are not included in the expected credit loss calculations. CDS mitigants are not reported in the following tables.

Collateral on loans and advances

Collateral held is analysed separately for commercial real estate and for other corporate, commercial and financial (non-bank) lending. The following tables include off-balance sheet loan commitments, primarily undrawn credit lines.

The collateral measured in the following tables consists of fixed first charges on real estate, and charges over cash and marketable financial instruments. The values in the tables represent the expected market value on an open market basis. No adjustment has been made to the collateral for any expected costs of recovery. Marketable securities are measured at their fair value.

Other types of collateral such as unsupported guarantees and floating charges over the assets of a customer's business are not measured in the following tables. While such mitigants have value, often providing rights in insolvency, their assignable value is not sufficiently certain and they are therefore assigned no value for disclosure purposes.

The LTV ratios presented are calculated by directly associating loans and advances with the collateral that individually and uniquely supports each facility. When collateral assets are shared by multiple loans and advances, whether specifically or, more generally, by way of an all monies charge, the collateral value is pro-rated across the loans and advances protected by the collateral.

For credit-impaired loans, the collateral values cannot be directly compared with impairment allowances recognised. The LTV figures use open market values with no adjustments. Impairment allowances are calculated on a different basis, by considering other cash flows and adjusting collateral values for costs of realising collateral as explained further on page 348.

Commercial real estate loans and advances

The value of commercial real estate collateral is determined by using a combination of external and internal valuations and physical inspections. For commercial real estate, where the facility exceeds regulatory threshold requirements, Group policy requires an independent review of the valuation at least every three years, or more frequently as the need arises.

In Hong Kong, market practice is typically for lending to major property companies to be either secured by guarantees or unsecured. In Europe, facilities of a working capital nature are generally not secured by a first fixed charge, and are therefore disclosed as not collateralised.

1   During 1Q23, we aligned the classification of commercial real estate across the Group and re-presented commercial real estate exposure in HSBC North America Holdings Inc. at 31 December 2022 as $5.3bn, which had a corresponding ECL charge of $0.1bn.

Other corporate, commercial and financial (non-bank) loans and advances

Other corporate, commercial and financial (non-bank) loans are analysed separately in the following table, which focuses on the countries/territories containing the majority of our loans and advances balances. For financing activities in other corporate and commercial lending, collateral value is not strongly correlated to principal repayment performance.

Collateral values are generally refreshed when an obligor's general credit performance deteriorates and we have to assess the likely performance of secondary sources of repayment should it prove necessary to rely on them.

Other credit risk exposures

In addition to collateralised lending, other credit enhancements are employed and methods used to mitigate credit risk arising from financial assets. These are summarised below:

-     Some securities issued by governments, banks and other financial institutions benefit from additional credit enhancements provided by government guarantees that cover the assets.

-     Debt securities issued by banks and financial institutions include asset-backed securities ('ABSs') and similar instruments, which are supported by underlying pools of financial assets. Credit risk associated with ABSs is reduced through the purchase of credit default swap ('CDS') protection.

-     Trading loans and advances mainly pledged against cash collateral are posted to satisfy margin requirements. There is limited credit risk on cash collateral posted since in the event of default of the counterparty this would be set off against the related liability. Reverse repos and stock borrowing are by their nature collateralised.

Collateral accepted as security that the Group is permitted to sell or repledge under these arrangements is described on page 390 of the financial statements.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk includes financial guarantees and similar contracts granted, as well as loan and other credit-related commitments. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may use additional credit mitigation if a guarantee is called upon or a loan commitment is drawn and subsequently defaults.

For further information on these arrangements, see Note 33 on the financial statements.

Derivatives

We participate in transactions exposing us to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the risk of financial loss if the counterparty to a transaction defaults before satisfactorily settling it. It arises principally from over-the-counter ('OTC') derivatives and securities financing transactions and is calculated in both the trading and non-trading books. Transactions vary in value by reference to a market factor such as an interest rate, exchange rate or asset price.

The counterparty risk from derivative transactions is taken into account when reporting the fair value of derivative positions. The adjustment to the fair value is known as the credit valuation adjustment ('CVA').

For an analysis of CVAs, see Note 12 on the financial statements.

The following table reflects by risk type the fair values and gross notional contract amounts of derivatives cleared through an exchange, central counterparty or non-central counterparty.

1     From 1 January 2023, we adopted IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts', which replaced IFRS 4 'Insurance Contracts'. We have restated 2022 comparative data.

The purposes for which HSBC uses derivatives are described in Note 15 on the financial statements.

The International Swaps and Derivatives Association ('ISDA') master agreement is our preferred agreement for documenting derivatives activity. It is common, and our preferred practice, for the parties involved in a derivative transaction to execute a credit support annex ('CSA') in conjunction with the ISDA master agreement. Under a CSA, collateral is passed between the parties to mitigate the counterparty risk inherent in outstanding positions. The majority of our CSAs are with financial institutional clients.

We manage the counterparty exposure on our OTC derivative contracts by using collateral agreements with counterparties and netting agreements. Currently, we do not actively manage our general OTC derivative counterparty exposure in the credit markets, although we may manage individual exposures in certain circumstances.

We place strict policy restrictions on collateral types and as a consequence the types of collateral received and pledged are, by value, highly liquid and of a strong quality, being predominantly cash.

Where a collateral type is required to be approved outside the collateral policy, approval is required from a committee of senior representatives from Markets, Legal and Risk.

See Note 31 on the financial statements for details regarding legally enforceable right of offset in the event of counterparty default and collateral received in respect of derivatives.

Personal lending

This section presents further disclosures related to personal lending. It provides details of the major legal entities, countries and products that are driving the change observed in personal loans and advances to customers, with the impact of foreign exchange separately identified. Additionally, Hong Kong and UK mortgage book LTV data is provided.

This section also provides reconciliations of the opening 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 closing gross carrying/nominal amounts and associated allowance for ECL by product. Further product granularity is also provided by stage, with data for major legal entities presented for loans and advances to customers, loan and other credit-related commitments and financial guarantees.

At 31 December 2023, total personal lending for loans and advances to customers of $447.5bn increased by $32.6bn compared with 31 December 2022. This increase included favourable foreign exchange movements of $11.5bn. Excluding foreign exchange movements, the increase of $21.1bn was mainly driven by growth in the UK (up $6.6bn), in Hong Kong (up $5.8bn), in Mexico (up $2.3bn) and in Australia (up $1.4bn). Additionally, France increased by $7.8bn due to the retention of the home loan portfolio, which is no longer classified as assets held for sale.

The increase was partly offset by a $1.2bn decrease from the merger of our business in Oman and a $1.0bn decrease from the sale of our retail mortgage loan portfolio in New Zealand.

The allowance for ECL attributable to personal lending, excluding off-balance sheet loan commitments and guarantees, remained broadly stable at $2.9bn at 31 December 2023, as net releases were offset by adverse foreign exchange movements of $0.1bn.

Excluding foreign exchange movements and reclassifications to held for sale, mortgage lending balances increased by $15.5bn to $360.9bn at 31 December 2023, mainly in Hong Kong (up $5.9bn), in the UK (up $4.9bn), in Mexico (up $1.7bn), in the US (up $1.5bn) and in Australia (up $1.4bn). The allowance for ECL attributable to mortgages remained broadly stable at $0.6bn when compared with 31 December 2022.

Total personal lending gross carrying amounts in stage 2 decreased by $1.4bn compared with 31 December 2022. Excluding favourable foreign exchange movements of $2.3bn, the decrease of $3.7bn was driven by favourable economic conditions and the model updates for interest-only and offset mortgages at a portfolio level in the UK.

The quality of both our Hong Kong and UK mortgage books remained strong, with low levels of impairment allowances. The average LTV ratio on new mortgage lending in Hong Kong was 64%, compared with an estimated 60% for the overall mortgage portfolio. The average LTV ratio on new lending in the UK was 65%, compared with an estimated 53% for the overall mortgage portfolio.

Excluding foreign exchange movements and reclassifications to held for sale, other personal lending balances at 31 December 2023 increased by $7.8bn compared with 31 December 2022. This was mainly from the retained home loan portfolio in France (up $7.4bn), which is no longer classified as assets held for sale. In addition, our credit card portfolio in Mexico increased by $0.6bn.

The allowance for ECL, excluding foreign exchange movements, attributable to other personal lending of $2.3bn remained unchanged from 31 December 2022. The allowance for ECL attributable to credit cards decreased by $0.1bn, offset by adverse foreign exchange movements of $0.1bn in other personal lending.

Exposure to UK interest-only mortgage loans

The following information is presented for HSBC branded interest-only mortgage loans. This excludes offset mortgages in first direct and private banking mortgages.

At the end of 2023, the average LTV ratio of the interest-only mortgage loans was 44% (2022: 41%), and 97% (2022: 99%) had an LTV ratio of 75% or less.

Of the interest-only mortgage loans that expired in 2021, 82% were repaid within 12 months of expiry with a total of 96% being repaid within 24 months of expiry. For those expiring during 2022, 92% were repaid within 12 months of expiry.

At 31 December 2023, interest-only mortgage loan exposures were $15.2bn (2022: $14.4bn) and the maturity profile was as follows:

Exposure to offset mortgage in first direct

The offset mortgage in first direct is a flexible way for our customers to take control of their finances. It works by grouping together the customer's mortgage, savings and current accounts to offset their credit and debit balances against their mortgage exposure. At 31 December 2023, exposures were worth a total $5.0bn with an average LTV ratio of 29% (2022: $5.5bn exposure and 32% LTV ratio).

Reconciliations of changes in personal lending gross carrying/nominal amount and allowances for loans and advances to customers including loan commitments and financial guarantees

The following disclosure provides a reconciliation by stage of the Group's personal lending gross carrying/nominal amount and allowances for loans and advances to customers, including loan commitments and financial guarantees.

In addition, three reconciliations by stage of the Group's gross carrying/nominal amount and allowances for first lien mortgages, credit cards and other personal lending, including loan commitments and financial guarantees were added at 31 December 2023 following the adoption of the recommendations of the DECL Taskforce's third report.

1   Total includes $7.8bn of gross carrying loans and advances and a corresponding allowance for ECL of $11m, due to the retention of certain balances previously classified as assets held for sale of our retail banking operations in France. For further details, see Note 23 'Assets held for sale and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale' on page 401.

2   Total includes $2.0bn of gross carrying loans and advances to customers, which were classified to assets held for sale, and a corresponding allowance for ECL of $20m, reflecting business disposals, as disclosed in Note 23 'Assets held for sale and liabilities of disposal groups held for sale' on page 401.

As shown in the above table, the allowance for ECL for loans and advances to customers and relevant loan commitments and financial guarantees decreased by $5m during the period from $2,897m at 31 December 2022 to $2,892m at 31 December 2023.

This decrease was driven by:

-     $1,326m of assets written off;

-     $447m relating to volume movements, which included the allowance for ECL associated with new originations, assets derecognised and further lending/repayment; and

-     $15m of changes to models used for ECL calculation.

These were partly offset by:

-     $1,492m relating to underlying credit quality changes, including the credit quality impact of financial instruments transferring between stages;

-     $195m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers; and

-     foreign exchange and other movements of $96m.

The ECL charge for the period of $1,225m presented in the above table consisted of $1,492m relating to underlying credit quality changes, including the credit quality impact of financial instruments transferring between stages, and $195m relating to the net remeasurement impact of stage transfers. This was partly offset by $447m relating to underlying net book volume movements and $15m in changes to models used for the calculation of ECL.

During the period, there was a net transfer to stage 2 of $1,910m gross carrying/nominal amounts. This increase was mainly driven by $1,550m in Mexico, due to slight deterioration in the unsecured portfolio.

Collateral on loans and advances

(Audited)

The following table provides a quantification of the value of fixed charges we hold over specific assets where we have a history of enforcing, and are able to enforce, collateral in satisfying a debt in the event of the borrower failing to meet its contractual obligations, and where the collateral is cash or can be realised by sale in an

established market. The collateral valuation excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the collateral and, in particular, loans shown as not collateralised or partially collateralised may also benefit from other forms of credit mitigants.
