Money supply

Currency in circulation and demand deposits grew 0.1% and 3.4% respectively. M1 thus increased 2.4% from one month earlier. Meanwhile, quasi-monetary liabilities rose 1.1%. The sum of these two items, i.e. M2, rebounded 1.2% from a month ago to MOP815.7 billion. On an annual basis, M1 and M2 increased 11.4% and 7.9% respectively. The shares of pataca (MOP), Hong Kong dollar (HKD), renminbi (RMB) and United States dollar (USD) in M2 were 32.3%, 46.4%, 6.8% and 12.3% respectively.

Deposits

Resident deposits increased 1.3% from the preceding month to MOP794.7 billion while non-resident deposits rose 0.4% to MOP351.0 billion. Meanwhile, public sector deposits with the banking sector grew 3.1% to MOP216.1 billion. As a result, total deposits in the banking sector increased 1.4% from a month earlier to MOP1,361.7 billion. The shares of MOP, HKD, RMB and USD in total deposits were 19.2%, 47.0%, 8.7% and 23.4% respectively.

Loans

Domestic loans to the private sector dropped 1.4% from a month ago to MOP498.5 billion. Meanwhile, external loans decreased 7.6% to MOP495.2 billion.

Operating ratios

At end-May 2025, the loan-to-deposit ratio for the resident sector decreased from 50.9% at end-April to 49.3%. Meanwhile, the ratio for both the resident and non-resident sectors decreased from 77.5% to 73.0%. The one-month and three-month current assets to liabilities ratios stood at 65.7% and 57.9% respectively.
