Under Hong Kong's financial regulatory framework, which authority oversees the banking sector?
Explanation: Per the IFEC description of HK's financial structure, four regulators each oversee a sector: HKMA (banking), IA (insurance), MPFA (MPF) and SFC (securities and futures). HKMA is the authority responsible for banks and deposit-taking companies. SFC handles securities and futures; IA handles insurance; MPFA handles MPF schemes.
Per the IFEC regulatory functions matrix, what is HKMA's core regulatory responsibility in the banking sector?
Explanation: The IFEC regulatory matrix explicitly states HKMA 'Regulates and supervises banks and deposit-taking companies' — covering both categories. Option A is too narrow; option C is the SFC's mandate; option D is the MPFA's mandate.
