The Hong Kong Monetary Authority – Pre-approved Principal Payment Holiday Scheme

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), together with the Banking Sector SME Lending Coordination Mechanism, launched a Pre-approved Principal Payment Holiday Scheme (the Scheme) for eligible corporate customers.  The launch date of the Scheme was 1 May 2020 as per the  HKMA press release on 17 April 2020 .  The key features of the Scheme are:

  • Corporate borrowers that have an annual sales turnover of HKD800 million or less based on their latest financial, that have no outstanding loan payments overdue for more than 30 days, and are not in the process of ceasing operations or declaring bankruptcy or liquidation, are eligible for the pre-approved Scheme.
  • All principal payments of bilateral loans falling due within 6 months from the Launch Date (1 May 2020 as per HKMA press release) to be made by an eligible customer will be pre-approved for deferment. Principal payments of bilateral loans (including revolving facilities) will generally be deferred by 6 months, whereas trade facilities (except for facilities which are self-liquidating in nature) will be deferred by 3 months.
  • The Scheme does not cover syndicated loans or loans used for financing purchases of shares or other financial assets.

As some economic sectors are still hard-pressed by the lingering pandemic and may not have fully benefited from the recent economic recovery yet, HKMA announced that the Scheme will be extended for another six months to the end of October 2022. All loan principal payments of eligible customers falling due between 1 May 2022 and 31 October 2022 will be deferred by another six months except for repayments of trade loans, which will be deferred by 90 days. This also covers the previous round of further 90 days extension of trade loans, which would be falling due between 1 May 2022 and 31 October 2022.

For instalment loans, customers have an option to repay 20% of original principal repayment amount over a period of a year on voluntary basis, and the loan tenor should generally be extended correspondingly.

For trade facilities, loans with bullet payments falling due within one year and outstanding revolving facilities, banks may discuss with customers having regard to the actual circumstances and allow them to repay the amount due by regular instalments over a period of two years.

For loans which have been extended for 540 days or more successively since first drawdown (or trade loans which have been extended for 270 days or more successively since first drawdown), banks have the flexibility to offer different forms of suitable credit relief to help the customers ride out the current difficulties, subject to prudent risk-management principles.

For questions regarding the scheme, please call hotline (service hour: Mon – Fri 9am – 6pm):
