What does the MPFA stand for?

• A. Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority
• B. Monetary Policy and Financial Authority
• C. Market Protection and Fiduciary Administration
• D. Management of Pension Funds Association

Answer: (A)

The MPFA stands for Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority, the regulator in Hong Kong responsible for overseeing the Mandatory Provident Fund system. The MPF is a compulsory retirement-savings scheme where employers, employees, and the self-employed contribute; the MPFA sets the rules, approves trustees and funds, enforces compliance, and handles related disputes. The other options don’t fit the actual regulator’s role or name—monetary policy and financial authority sounds like a central bank, market protection and fiduciary administration is too generic, and management of pension funds association would be a professional group rather than the regulatory body.
