Further to the letter dated 18 March 1998 on the above survey, I am now writing to you with the second part of the survey to collect data on the outstanding amounts of derivatives as at 30 June 1998. You are requested to complete two sets of reporting forms. One is on a locational basis (where only transactions which have been booked in Hong Kong offices of the institution should be reported); the other is on a consolidated basis (including transactions booked in subsidiaries and overseas offices of the institution).

The reporting forms and completion instructions for the above mentioned purposes are attached at Appendix I together with a diskette containing the survey forms in Excel format. I would appreciate it if your institution could furnish us with the data, using the diskettes provided, and return both the hard and soft copies of the survey forms to us on or before 31 July 1998. The reporting forms are divided into separate worksheets in the Excel file. Kindly print out all worksheets of the file after filling in the data and sign on the front page of the return. Please be assured that all information related to individual institutions will be kept confidential.

To facilitate our contact with the appropriate officer(s) in your institution on survey-related matters, please indicate in the reply slip at Appendix II the name(s) of the officer(s) responsible for completing the survey questionnaire and return it to us by 29 May 1998.

Should you have any enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact the following officers :

Mr. Daniel Wong (2878 8284)
Mr. William Wong (2878 8210)
Miss Carmen Sham (2878 1623)
Miss Kitty Wong (2878 1625)

Once again, we greatly appreciate your contributions and assistance in this worldwide survey.
