Banking Stability mainly depends on the "Banking System and Supervision". A "Three-Tier System" was implemented in the 1980s. Institutions are also managed differently depending on whether they are categorised as Licensed Banks, Restricted License Bank or Deposit-taking Institutions. Overseas banks may also establish local representative offices in Hong Kong.
