OSFI's Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Guideline, Chapter 4, details the Net Cumulative Cash Flow (NCCF) metric, which measures an institution's detailed cash flows to capture funding mismatch risk under a severe but plausible liquidity stress scenario. This metric applies to Domestic Systemically Important Banks (DSIBs) and Category I and II institutions, requiring them to consider structural, contingent, and market liquidity risk through comprehensive or streamlined NCCF analyses. The NCCF calculates an institution's survival horizon based on net positive cash flows over a 12-month period, with OSFI reserving the right to require institution-specific NCCF survival horizons.
255 Albert Street Ottawa, Canada K1A 0H2 www.osfi-bsif.gc.ca Unclassified / Non classifié Guideline Subject: Liquidity Adequacy Requirements (LAR) Chapter 4 – Net Cumulative Cash Flow Effective Date: May 1, 2026 Subsections 485(1) and 949(1) of the Bank Act (BA) and subsection 473(1) of the Trust and Loan Companies Act (TLCA) require banks, bank holding companies and trust and loan companies, respectively, to maintain adequate and appropriate forms of liquidity. The LAR Guideline is not made pursuant to subsection 485(2) or 949(2) of the BA or subsection 473(2) of the TLCA. However, the liquidity metrics set out in this guideline provide the framework within which the Superintendent assesses whether a bank, a bank holding company or a trust and loan company maintains adequate liquidity pursuant to the Acts. For this purpose, the Superintendent has established two minimum standards: the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and the Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR). These standards – in conjunction with additional liquidity metrics where OSFI reserves the right to apply supervisory requirements as needed, including the net cumulative cash flow (NCCF), the operating cash flow statement (OCFS), the liquidity monitoring tools and the intraday liquidity monitoring tools – when assessed as a package, provide an overall perspective of the liquidity adequacy of an institution. The LAR Guideline should be read together with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's (BCBS) Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision and OSFI's Guideline B-6: Liquidity Principles. OSFI will conduct detailed supervisory assessments of both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of an institution's liquidity risk, as presented in the LAR Guideline and Guideline B-6, respectively. Notwithstanding that a bank, a bank holding company or a trust and loan company may meet the aforementioned standards, the Superintendent may by order direct a bank or bank holding company to take actions to improve its liquidity under subsection 485(3) or 949(3), respectively, of the BA or a trust and loan company to take actions to improve its liquidity under subsection 473(3) of the TLCA. OSFI, as a member of the BCBS, participated in the development of the international liquidity framework, including Basel III: The Liquidity Coverage Ratio and liquidity risk monitoring tools (January 2013), Basel III: the Net Stable Funding Ratio (October 2014) and Monitoring tools for intraday liquidity management (April 2013). This domestic guidance is based on the Basel III framework – now integrated in the December 2019 “Basel Consolidated Framework” –
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 2 Unclassified / Non classifié supplemented to include additional OSFI-designed measures to assess the liquidity adequacy of an institution. Where relevant, the Basel Consolidated Framework paragraph numbers are provided in square brackets at the end of each paragraph referencing material from the Basel Consolidated framework. Some chapters include boxed-in text (called OSFI Notes) that set out how certain requirements are to be implemented by Canadian banks, bank holding companies and trust and loan companies, collectively referred to as “institutions.”

Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 6 Unclassified / Non classifié 4. The scope of application of the NCCF includes Domestic Systemically Important Banks (DSIBs), and Category I and II institutions as defined in the SMSB Capital and Liquidity Guideline. 1 4.2. Definition 5. The NCCF is a liquidity horizon metric that measures an institution’s net cumulative cash flow. Cash and security flows associated with assets and liabilities that have a contractual maturity should be considered based on their residual contractual maturity. For liabilities, rollover of existing liabilities is limited to retail and small business customer term deposits, bank-sponsored acceptances, and certain other operational and non-operational deposits (see Table 1). The threshold for small business customer deposits is $5 million or less for the NCCF, on an individual account basis. Outflows associated with term liabilities are applied at maturity. Run-off rates (i.e. outflows) associated with liabilities that have an indeterminate maturity (nondefined or open maturity), such as demand deposits, are applied over two time intervals – weekly for the first month2 and monthly from month 2 to month 12 (see Section 4.6). Cash inflows from maturing assets and cash outflows arising from undrawn commitments are considered separately. 6. The liquidity scenario assumed in the NCCF encompasses a combination of idiosyncratic and systemic stresses which measure the impacts of assumptions over a one-year liquidity horizon. Stress assumptions result in: a) cash inflows representing the market value of eligible unencumbered liquid assets; b) partial run-off of retail and small business customer deposits; c) full or partial run-off of wholesale and corporate funding; d) cash inflows for maturing assets, reduced to recognize continued lending; and e) cash outflows from off-balance sheet items, including undrawn commitments. 7. The time bands reported under the NCCF include weekly buckets for the first four weeks, monthly buckets for month 2 to month 12, and a greater than one year bucket. 4.3. Supervisory tool 8. The NCCF measures an institution’s surplus or deficit at a given time period, calculated as the difference between the sum of eligible cash inflows and the sum of prescribed cash outflows from the reporting date up to the time period considered. Accordingly, an institution’s survival horizon corresponds to the last period before which the NCCF turns negative and is expressed in weeks or in months. 1 Refer to Chapter 1 for the scope of application for federally regulated deposit taking institutions that are themselves subsidiaries, and that have a parent that is either a DSIB or a foreign bank subsidiary. 2 Cash flows related to days 29, 30 and 31 of a given month should be reported in the week 4 bucket and applied the weekly run-off rate assigned to week 4 cash flows. Cash flows related to the remaining days of week 5 should be reported in the month 2 bucket and applied the monthly run-off rate assigned to month 2 flows.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 7 Unclassified / Non classifié 9. OSFI may, as necessary, require individual institutions to meet a supervisorycommunicated, institution-specific NCCF survival horizon. In such instances, the supervisorycommunicated, institution-specific NCCF survival horizon will be set by OSFI after considering the trend in financial market funding liquidity indicators and institution-specific liquidity metrics and risks. In addition, when determining the NCCF survival horizon for individual institutions, OSFI will consider such factors as operating and management experience, strength of parent, earnings, diversification of assets, type of assets, inherent risk of a business model and risk appetite. While OSFI collects NCCF data over a 12-month time horizon, it is expected that institutions’ liquidity management and internal transfer pricing consider its supervisorycommunicated NCCF survival horizon. For periods beyond the supervisory-communicated NCCF survival horizon, institutions should monitor their liquidity for potential liquidity mismatches and cash flow shortfalls and manage liquidity in accordance with their internally defined risk appetite. 4.4. Scope of application 10. DSIBs and Category I institutions are subject to the “Comprehensive NCCF,” whereas Category II institutions are subject to the “Streamlined NCCF,” unless directed otherwise by OSFI. Most assumptions from the Comprehensive NCCF carry over to the Streamlined NCCF. However, where assumptions and/or requirements differ, a reference to the respective approach and specific provision are included below to outline the relevant expectations. Comprehensive NCCF 11. The NCCF supervisory tool will be assessed in three parts by OSFI, on a: a) Consolidated basis; b) Canadian currency basis; and c) Major foreign currency basis, defined as US dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), and British pound sterling (GBP) balance sheet basis. During periods of idiosyncratic stress to specific regions or to individual institutions, OSFI may, as necessary, require a supervisory-communicated, institution-specific NCCF survival horizon to be met on a Canadian currency basis and/or a foreign currency balance sheet basis, including USD, EUR, GBP and any other currency determined to be necessary by OSFI. 12. Foreign branches of institutions in Canada should be included in the aforementioned balance sheets where the branch balance sheet represents at least 5% of consolidated notional assets or where requested by OSFI. Subsidiary balance sheets should be reported and monitored separately, if the sum total of all subsidiary balance sheets is 5% of consolidated notional assets, or as required by OSFI.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 8 Unclassified / Non classifié Streamlined NCCF 13. The Streamlined NCCF is only assessed on a consolidated basis with all currencies aggregated and reported in Canadian dollars. 14. Institutions completing the Streamlined NCCF return are only required to report on collateral inflows and outflows if they also file the regulatory return Collateral and Pledging (H4) or if they are otherwise directed to do so by OSFI. 4.5. Cash inflows 15. Cash inflow treatments differ based on whether or not the asset meets the criteria for unencumbered liquid assets outlined below. 16. Eligible unencumbered liquid assets (EULA) are treated as cash inflows in the first time bucket (i.e. week one), at market value, subject to relevant haircuts. Additional inflows of unencumbered liquid assets from maturing repurchase transactions of eligible liquid assets should be treated as cash inflows and assigned to the appropriate time bucket after application of the relevant haircuts. 17. To qualify for the stock of unencumbered liquid assets under the NCCF, the assets should be eligible collateral at central banks under normal operating conditions, as specified in paragraphs 23 and 24, and must be “unencumbered,” i.e. free of legal, regulatory, contractual or other restrictions on the ability of the institution to liquidate, sell, transfer, or assign the asset. An asset in the stock should not be pledged to secure, collateralize or credit-enhance any transaction, nor be designated to cover operational costs (such as rents and salaries). The assets should also be accessible by the function charged with managing the liquidity of the institution (e.g. the treasurer) as outlined in Chapter 2, paragraph 21. For eligibility purposes, assets linked to total return swap (TRS) exposures will be given the same treatment as in the LCR (see Chapter 2, paragraph 47(c)). 18. Institutions should only include liquid assets that it has the operational capability to monetize, meaning it has procedures and appropriate systems in place, including providing the function identified in Chapter 2, paragraph 21 with access to all necessary information to execute monetisation of any asset at any time. 19. Only U.S. liquid assets eligible at the Bank of Canada should be considered fungible (i.e. mutually interchangeable) for NCCF liquidity measurement purposes for the Canadian dollar balance sheet under the Comprehensive NCCF. Subject to OSFI’s approval, other liquid assets may be eligible for inclusion in an institution’s respective foreign currency balance sheets and the consolidated balance sheet. 20. In order to qualify as liquid assets under the NCCF, liquid assets held by subsidiaries, or domiciled outside Canada, should be freely transferable for regulatory purposes to the consolidated entity, meaning that there should not be regulatory, legal, tax, accounting or other
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 9 Unclassified / Non classifié impediments to their transfer. Assets held in legal entities without market access should only be included to the extent that they can be freely transferred to other entities that could monetize the assets. 21. EULA received in reverse repo and securities financing transactions that are held at the institution, have not been rehypothecated, and are legally and contractually available for the institution's use can be considered as part of the pool of liquid assets and thus accorded immediate liquidity value (i.e. week one) after application of the relevant haircut. Institutions should not double count liquidity inflows or outflows associated with reverse repos. 22. Institutions may receive liquidity value for collateral swaps provided they can clearly demonstrate that, at a minimum, the transactions are for a specified contract period, the securities used for the underlying collateral being swapped are outlined in the transaction details, mark-tomarket procedures are understood and documented, and there is not substitution of collateral over the life of the contract, unless it is a like-for-like substitution of collateral. In addition, institutions must have adequate and ongoing market risk management control and oversight around this activity, and must recognize liquidity or cash flow implications at the termination of the swap. 23. For the Canadian balance sheet, liquid assets are limited only to those eligible as collateral under the Standing Liquidity Facility at the Bank of Canada (see the Assets Eligible as Collateral under the Standing Liquidity Facility). Note that the Bank of Canada applies conditions to the use of these assets and that the asset list is subject to change. As such, institutions should use the most recent version of the aforementioned document when calculating their stock of liquid assets for NCCF purposes. 24. For all foreign currency balance sheets, the stock of liquid assets must, at a minimum, be eligible collateral under normal operating conditions at the appropriate central bank, be unencumbered per paragraph 17, and must be approved by OSFI. OSFI reserves the right to restrict or alter this list at any time, in consideration of stressed markets or other circumstances. 25. Cash inflow treatment for balance sheet assets that do not meet the aforementioned criteria for EULA is based on the asset’s residual contractual maturity, except: a) For residential and commercial mortgages, the scenario assumes that institutions will receive all payments (including interest payments and installments) from retail and small business customers that are fully performing and contractually due; at the same time, however, institutions are assumed to continue to extend residential and commercial mortgages, at a rate of 100% of contractual inflows. This results in no net eligible inflows from maturing residential and commercial mortgages. b) For business and government loans, the scenario assumes that institutions will receive all payments (including interest payments and installments) from businesses and
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 10 Unclassified / Non classifié governments that are fully performing and contractually due, however, institutions are assumed to continue to extend loans to businesses and governments, at a rate of 50% of contractual inflows. This results in a net inflow number of 50% of the contractual amount. Contingent inflows are not considered eligible cash inflows. 26. All cash inflows from demand and term deposits held with other institutions are assumed to occur at the earliest contractual maturity date. In the case of demand deposits, this would mean the first week. 27. Cash inflows from securities which are not considered EULA, should be reported at contractual maturity or the earliest option date (e.g. callable bonds). Cash inflows are limited to the face value of the security. 28. Cash inflows from Acceptances reported as an asset (customers’ liability under acceptances) on the balance sheet should occur at the latest contractual maturity date of the underlying facility. 29. Non-financial common equity shares that meet the requirements for Level 2B asset treatment in the LCR (i.e. meet the criteria outlined in Chapter 2, paragraph 47(c) and the operational requirements outlined in Chapter 2, section 2.2.A.2) will be given cash inflow treatment in NCCF, after application of a 50% haircut, in week 4. For eligibility purposes, assets linked to total return swap (TRS) exposures will be given the same treatment as in LCR (see Chapter 2, paragraph 47(c)). 30. Financial institution common equity shares will be given cash inflow value according to the following schedule – 12.5% in month 2, 25% in month 3, and 12.5% in month 4, provided the operational requirements outlined in Chapter 2, section 2.2.A.2 are met. 31. Precious metals and other commodities receive no cash inflow value because their liquidity characteristics indicate a low level of confidence that cash inflows will occur within one year. 32. Inflows from loans that have no specific maturity (i.e. have non-defined or open maturity) should not be included. An exception to this would be minimum payments of principal, fee or interest associated with an open maturity loan, which are contractually due within a specific period. These minimum payment amounts are assumed to occur at the latest possible time band within that period. 33. Cash inflows from swapped intra-bank loans should occur at contractual maturity of the loan. These transactions occur when funds are transferred from one balance sheet to another. The originating balance sheet generates a swapped intra-bank loan by swapping funds from one currency to another (e.g., an area within a FI swaps U.S. dollar deposits to Canadian dollars and lends the funds to another area within the institution).
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 11 Unclassified / Non classifié 34. Cash inflows from reverse repurchase agreements which do not meet the conditions outlined in paragraphs 16 to 24 are assumed to occur at contractual maturity. 35. Cash inflows from securities borrowed are assumed to occur at contractual maturity for the principal amount borrowed. Interest will not be recognized as a cash inflow. 36. All derivative-related cash inflows should be included at the expected contractual payment dates in accordance with their existing valuation methodologies. Cash flows may be calculated on a net basis (i.e. inflows can offset outflows) by counterparty, only where a valid master netting agreement exists. The amounts of derivatives cash inflows and outflows should be calculated in accordance with other provisions of the methodology described in paragraph 46. In accordance with the principle that institutions should not double count liquidity inflows or outflows, where derivatives are collateralised by eligible liquid assets, cash inflows should be calculated net of any corresponding cash or contractual collateral outflows that would result, all other things being equal, from contractual obligations for cash or collateral to be posted by the institution, given these contractual obligations would reduce the pool of eligible liquid assets. 37. Balances related to assets not mentioned above are to be reported in the NCCF, but no cash inflow value will be attributed to them. 4.6. Cash outflows 38. The cash outflow treatment for existing liabilities differs depending on whether the liability has a contractual maturity or whether the liability has an indeterminate maturity (nondefined or open maturity). On-balance sheet items, and certain off-balance sheet items are all considered as sources of cash outflows under the NCCF. Balances should be run-off on a declining balance basis. Residual maturity of funding instruments with market-based maturity triggers, such as autocallable notes, should either reflect the earliest possible maturity or the expected life derived from prudent and appropriate analysis. 39. Consistent with the underlying intent of the metric, no rollover of existing liabilities is generally assumed to take place, with the exception of retail and small business customer term deposits, and select term deposits from non-financial counterparties. Term deposit run-off rates for retail, including small business customers, will be the same as equivalent monthly demand deposit run-offs. However, these term deposits will be assumed to renew at the same tenor as the original deposit, less the equivalent demand deposit monthly run-off rate. Run-off rates for select term deposits from non-financial counterparties are described further in paragraph61. 40. For cashable products in which the customer has an option for early redemption, the balance should be treated as a demand deposit commencing at the first customer option date and allocated to the appropriate demand deposit and run-off rate category. If product design includes penalties that sufficiently discourage early redemption, OSFI may consider exceptions on a bilateral basis.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 12 Unclassified / Non classifié 41. The general treatment described in paragraph 39 (i.e. no rollover of liabilities) applies to: • Repurchase agreements; • Term deposits (other than retail and small business customer term deposits and select non-financial counterparties); • Other wholesale liabilities, including commercial paper, certificates of deposit, deposit notes, and bonds; and, • Outflows from an FI’s own ABCP, SIVs, and securitizations.3 42. Cash outflows from swapped intra-bank deposits should occur in full at contractual maturity. These transactions occur when funds are transferred from one balance sheet to another. The originating balance sheet generates a swapped intra-bank deposit by swapping funds from one currency to another (e.g., an area within a FI swaps U.S. dollar deposits to Canadian dollars and lends the funds to another area within the institution). 43. Cash flows associated with securities lent are assumed to occur at contractual maturity for the principal amount borrowed. Interest will not be recognized as a cash outflow. 44. Securities sold short and funding guarantees to subsidiaries and branches should all be assumed to have immediate cash outflows (i.e. first maturity bucket). 45. All derivative-related cash outflows should be included at the expected contractual payment dates in accordance with their existing valuation methodologies. Cash flows may be calculated on a net basis (i.e. inflows can offset outflows) by counterparty, only where a valid master netting agreement exists. Options should be assumed to be exercised when they are ‘in the money’ to the option buyer. In accordance with the principle that institutions should not double count liquidity inflows or outflows, where derivative payments are collateralised by eligible liquid assets, cash outflows should be calculated net of any corresponding cash or collateral inflows that would result, all other things being equal, from contractual obligations for cash or collateral to be provided to the institution, if the institution is legally entitled and operationally capable to re-use the collateral in new cash raising transactions once the collateral is received. 46. Run-off rates (i.e. outflows) associated with liabilities with an indeterminate maturity (non-defined or open maturity), such as demand/notice (less than 30 days’ notice) deposits, are applied over two time intervals – weekly for the first month and monthly from month 2 to month 12. 47. Retail deposits are defined as deposits placed with an institution by a natural person and are divided into “stable” and “less stable” categories per Chapter 2, paragraphs 55 to 64. 3 Where financing is arranged though structured investment vehicles, financial institutions should consider the inability to refinance maturing debt during liquidity crises.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 13 Unclassified / Non classifié Institutions should refer to these paragraphs for definitions related to the concepts described for retail deposits below. Stable retail deposits 48. Insured retail deposits that are in transactional accounts or where the depositors have an established relationship with the institution that make deposit withdrawal highly unlikely per Chapter 2, paragraph 56 are generally assigned a weekly run-off rate of 1.0% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 0.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months. However, such deposits may be eligible for a weekly run-off rate of 0.5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 0.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months if the criteria outlined in Chapter 2, paragraph 59 are met. Less stable retail deposits 49. Insured retail deposits that are not in transactional accounts or where the depositors do not have other established relationships with the institution that make deposit withdrawal highly unlikely are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 1.25% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 2.5% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 50. Uninsured retail deposits are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 1.25% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 3.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 51. Rate sensitive deposits where the client directly manages the funds and where the client has an established relationship with the institution or the account is transactional are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 1.25% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 3.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 52. Deposits sourced through a partnership agreement where the client has an established relationship with the third party, the client’s account is transactional, and the deposits are fully insured, are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 2% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 3.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 53. Retail structured notes that are not exchange tradeable are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 7.5% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 54. Rate sensitive deposits where the client directly manages the funds and where the client does not have an established relationship with the institution and the account is not transactional are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 3.75% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly runoff rate of 3.75% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 55. Term deposits directly managed by an unaffiliated third party that are maturing or cashables in the next four weeks are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 7.5% over each of the subsequent eleven months.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 14 Unclassified / Non classifié 56. Demand deposits where an unaffiliated third party directly manages the funds are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 7.5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 10% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 57. Deposits sourced through a partnership agreement which do not meet all conditions identified in paragraph 52 are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 7.5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 10% over each of the subsequent eleven months. Specifically, where either the client does not have an established relationship with the third party, or the client’s account is not transactional, or the deposits are not fully insured. 58. Retail structured notes that are exchange tradeable are assigned a weekly run-off rate of 7.5% over each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 10% over each of the subsequent eleven months. Wholesale funding 59. Unsecured wholesale funding is defined as those liabilities and general obligations that are raised from non-natural persons (i.e. legal entities, including sole proprietorships and partnerships) and are not collateralized by legal rights to specifically designated assets owned by the borrowing institution in the case of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or resolution. 60. Unsecured wholesale funding provided by small business customers is treated the same way as retail, effectively distinguishing between a “stable” portion of funding provided by small business customers and different buckets of “less stable” funding. The same bucket definitions and associated run-off factors apply as for retail deposits. 61. All non-small business customer unsecured term wholesale funding is assumed to run-off at 100% at contractual maturity, with the exception of term deposits from non-financial corporates, sovereigns, central banks, multilateral development banks, and PSE customers, which are assumed to run-off at 40% at contractual maturity. These term deposits will be assumed to renew with a 30-day maturity, net of the 40% run-off rate at contractual maturity. For deposits with enforceable notification periods, where the client has provided the institution a withdrawal notification of the funds, a 100% run-off rate will be applied to these amounts. Operational deposits 62. For unsecured demand wholesale funding provided by non-small business customers, where the institution has operational deposits generated by clearing, custody and cash management activities that meet the criteria outlined in Chapter 2, paragraphs 73 to 83, these deposits are generally assigned a weekly run-off factor of 2.5% for each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 5% over each of the subsequent eleven months, regardless of the counterparty type.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 15 Unclassified / Non classifié 63. Exceptions to the treatment prescribed in paragraph 61, relate to the portion of operational deposits generated by clearing, custody and cash management activities that is fully covered by deposit insurance, which can receive one of the following treatments: • A weekly run-off rate of 0.75% for each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 3% over each of the subsequent eleven months if the jurisdiction where the deposit is located permits use of the 3% run-off factor under the LCR for certain insured retail deposits per Chapter 2, paragraph 59; • A weekly run-off rate of 1.25% for each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 5% over each of the subsequent eleven months if the jurisdiction where the deposit is located does not permit use of the 3% run-off factor under the LCR for certain insured retail deposits. Other non-operational demand deposits 64. All demand deposits and other extensions of unsecured funding from non-financial corporate customers (that are not categorised as small business customers) and both domestic and foreign sovereign, central bank, multilateral development bank, and PSE customers that are not specifically held for operational purposes per paragraphs 62 and 63 should be assigned a weekly run-off factor of 3% for each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 10% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 65. An exception to the treatment prescribed for non-operational deposits in paragraph 64 relates to unsecured demand wholesale funding provided by non-financial corporate customers, sovereigns, central banks, multilateral development banks, and PSEs without operational relationships if the entire amount of the deposit is fully covered by an effective deposit insurance scheme (as defined in Chapter 2, paragraph 57) or by a public guarantee that provides equivalent protection. In such cases, the deposits should be assigned a weekly run-off factor of 3% for each of the first four weeks and a monthly run-off rate of 5% over each of the subsequent eleven months. 66. All demand deposits and other funding from other institutions (including banks, securities firms, insurance companies, etc.), fiduciaries, 4 beneficiaries, 5 conduits and special purpose vehicles, affiliated entities of the institution and other entities that are not specifically held for operational purposes (as defined above) and not included in the above categories are assumed to run-off evenly and in full over the first four weeks. Off-balance sheet items 4 Fiduciary is defined in this context as a legal entity that is authorised to manage assets on behalf of a third party. Fiduciaries include asset management entities such as pension funds and other collective investment vehicles. 5 Beneficiary is defined in this context as a legal entity that receives, or may become eligible to receive, benefits under a will, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, trust, or other contract.
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 16 Unclassified / Non classifié 67. Institutions should consider cash outflows stemming from off-balance items. Credit and liquidity facilities are defined as explicit contractual agreements or obligations to extend funds at a future date to retail or wholesale counterparties. For purposes of the NCCF, these facilities include contractually irrevocable (“committed”) or conditionally revocable agreements to extend funds in the future to third parties, as well as unconditionally revocable "uncommitted" credit and liquidity facilities. 68. For the purposes of this standard, the currently undrawn portion of these facilities is calculated net of any EULA, if: (i) the EULA have already been posted as collateral by the counterparty to secure the facilities or there is a contractual obligation to post EULA as collateral when the counterparty will draw down the facility (e.g. a liquidity facility structured as a repo facility), (ii) if the institution is legally entitled and operationally capable to re-use the collateral in new cash raising transactions once the facility is drawn, and (iii) there is no undue correlation between the probability of drawing the facility and the market value of the collateral. The collateral can be netted against the outstanding amount of the facility to the extent that this collateral is not already counted in the stock of EULA, in line with the principle that items cannot be double counted. 69. A liquidity facility is defined as any committed, undrawn back-up facility that would be utilised to refinance the debt obligations of a customer in situations where such a customer is unable to rollover that debt in financial markets (e.g. pursuant to a commercial paper programme, secured financing transactions, obligations to redeem units, etc.). For the purpose of the NCCF, for asset-backed commercial paper liquidity facilities, the amount of the commitment to be treated as a liquidity facility is the amount of the currently outstanding debt issued by the customer (or proportionate share, if a syndicated facility) maturing within a 30-day period that is backstopped by the facility. The portion of a liquidity facility that is backing debt that does not mature within the 30-day window is excluded from the scope of the definition of a facility. Any additional capacity of the facility (i.e. the remaining commitment) would be treated as a committed credit facility with its associated drawdown rate as specified in paragraph 71. General working capital facilities for corporate entities (e.g. revolving credit facilities in place for general corporate or working capital purposes) will not be classified as liquidity facilities, but as credit facilities. 70. Credit and liquidity facilities to retail and small business customers are expected to be drawn on week 1, or on the earliest contractual date, 6 after which time the balance is assumed to remain stable (i.e. no inflow due to reimbursement), according to the following rates: a) 0% for facilities extended to transactors, defined as i) obligors in relation to facilities such as credit cards and charge cards with an interest free grace period, where the accrued interest over the previous 12 months is less than $50, or ii) 6 Institutions can only recognize outflows after week 1 on the basis that the earliest contractual requirement to extend fund is longer than one week and where the institution has determined that refusing to advance funds before the end of the notice period, as requested by the customer, would not likely cause material reputational damage to the institution or otherwise impair ongoing viability.

Committed credit facilities to other customers are expected to be drawn on week 1, or on the earliest contractual date, after which time the balance is assumed to remain stable (i.e. no inflow due to reimbursement), according to the following rates: a) Under the Streamlined NCCF, a 10% outflow rate will be assigned to the undrawn amount of facilities extended to non-financial corporates; b) Under the Comprehensive NCCF, for facilities extended to non-financial corporates, the following rates will be applicable to undrawn amounts:
Banks/BHC/T&L Net Cumulative Cash Flow Chapter 4 - Page 18 Unclassified / Non classifié c) 10% for facilities extended to sovereigns and central banks, PSEs, and multilateral development banks; d) 40% for facilities extended to deposit-taking institutions subject to prudential supervision; e) 40% for facilities extended to other financial institutions including securities firms, insurance companies, fiduciaries, 9 and beneficiaries; 10 f) 100% to other legal entities (including SPEs, 11 conduits and special purpose vehicles, and other entities not included in the prior categories). 72. Uncommitted credit facilities to other customers are expected to be drawn on week 1, at a rate of 5%, or on the earliest contractual date, after which time the balance is assumed to remain stable (i.e. no inflow due to reimbursement). 73. Committed liquidity facilities to other customers are expected to be drawn on week 1, or on the earliest contractual date, after which time the balance is assumed to remain stable (i.e. no inflow due to reimbursement), according to the following rates: a) 30% for facilities extended to non-financial corporates, sovereigns and central banks, PSEs, and multilateral development banks; b) 40% for facilities extended to deposit-taking institutions subject to prudential supervision; c) 100% for facilities to other financial institutions including securities firms, insurance companies, fiduciaries, and beneficiaries; d) 100% for liquidity facilities for Asset Backed Commercial Paper for maturities within 30 days and the unutilized capacity that can be drawn within 30 days (i.e. 0% otherwise); 9 Fiduciary is defined in this context as a legal entity that is authorised to manage assets on behalf of a third party. Fiduciaries include asset management entities such as pension funds and other collective investment vehicles. 10 Beneficiary is defined in this context as a legal entity that receives, or may become eligible to receive, benefits under a will, insurance policy, retirement plan, annuity, trust, or other contract. 11 A special purpose entity (SPE) is defined in the Basel Consolidated Framework (Basel CRE 40.21) as a corporation, trust, or other entity organised for a specific purpose, the activities of which are limited to those appropriate to accomplish the purpose of the SPE, and the structure of which is intended to isolate the SPE from the credit risk of an originator or seller of exposures. SPEs are commonly used as financing vehicles in which exposures are sold to a trust or similar entity in exchange for cash or other assets funded by debt issued by the trust.

Uncommitted liquidity facilities to other customers are expected to be drawn on week 1, at a rate of 5%, after which time the balance is assumed to remain stable (i.e. no inflow due to reimbursement). 75. Obligations stemming from trade finance instruments are expected to result in outflows on week 1, at a rate of 3%. Trade finance instruments consist of trade-related obligations directly underpinned by the movement of goods or the provision of services, such as: • Documentary trade letters of credit, documentary and clean collection, import bills, and export bills; and • Guarantees directly related to trade finance obligations, such as shipping guarantees. 76. Other guarantees and letters of credit unrelated to trade finance obligations (i.e. that do not fall under the scope of paragraph 75), are expected to generate outflows on week 1, equivalent to 5% of the obligations. 77. Balances related to on-balance sheet liabilities not mentioned above are to be reported in the NCCF, but no cash outflow value is attributed to them. 78. Table 1 and 2 present, respectively, the summarized treatment of unsecured funding by counterparty and deposit types and the summarized treatment of credit and liquidity facilities.
