Computation of Leverage Ratio under Basel III for National Savings Bank

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka permits National Savings Bank to exclude government securities representing sixty percent of savings and deposit funds from its leverage ratio exposure measure. This exclusion is implemented by deducting the specified amount from web-based return code 36.2.1.1.1.0 in the quarterly BSD-QF-36-EM submission. The directive aligns the institution’s leverage ratio calculation with Banking Act Directions No. 12 of 2018 governing licensed commercial and specialized banks.
