Net Stable Funding Ratio under Basel III Liquidity Standards for Licensed Commercial Banks and Licensed Specialized Banks

Banking Act Directions No. 08 of 2018
Net Stable Funding Ratio under Basel III Liquidity Standards for Licensed Commercial Banks and Licensed Specialised Banks
SCHEDULE I

BASEL III - NET STABLE FUNDING RATIO
1.0 Implementation of Net Stable Funding Ratio
1.1 Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) publication in December 2010 on
liquidity, “Basel III: International framework for liquidity risk measurement, standards and monitoring” introduced two minimum standards namely Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR).
1.2 In March 2015, the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) issued Banking Act Directions
No. 01 of 2015, Liquidity Coverage Ratio under Basel III Liquidity Standards for licensed banks (LBs).
1.3 The second liquidity standard under Basel III, viz., Net Stable Funding Ratio shall be
effective from 01 January 2019.
1.4 The objective of NSFR is to reduce funding risk over a longer time horizon by requiring
LBs to fund their activities with sufficiently stable sources of funding.
2.0 Net Stable Funding Ratio
2.1 NSFR is defined as the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount of
required stable funding. The amount of available and required stable funding are calibrated to reflect the presumed degree of stability of liabilities and liquidity of assets. The computation of NSFR shall be based on the following formula.
2.2 Available Stable Funding
Available Stable Funding (ASF) is defined as the portion of capital and liabilities expected to be reliable over the time horizon of one year. ASF factors such as 100%, 90%, 50% and 0% are assigned according to presumed degree of stability of funding.
2.3 Required Stable Funding
Required Stable Funding (RSF) is a function of liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of various assets held and those of its off-balance sheet (OBS) exposures. RSF factors such as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 50%, 65%, 85%, and 100% are assigned to different asset categories accordingly. NSFR = available amount of stable funding *100 required amount of stable funding

2.4 Off-balance Sheet Exposures
Many potential OBS exposures do not require immediate funding but can lead to significant liquidity drain over a longer time horizon. NSFR assigns RSF factors to various OBS exposures in order to ensure that banks hold stable funding for the portion of OBS exposures that may be expected to require funding within any one-year horizon.
2.5 Definitions on various components including High Quality Liquid Assets of Level 1,
Level 2A and Level 2B assets of NSFR mirror those outlined in the Banking Act Directions No. 01 of 2015, on Liquidity Coverage Ratio, unless otherwise specified.
2.6 Unencumbered assets under NSFR have the meaning of free of legal, regulatory,
contractual or other restrictions on the ability of the bank to liquidate, sell, transfer or assign the asset.
2.7 Encumbered Assets
(a) Assets on the balance sheet that are encumbered for one year or more receive a 100% RSF factor. (b) Assets encumbered for a period of between six months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor lower than or equal to 50% receive a 50% RSF factor. (c) Assets encumbered for a period of between six months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor higher than 50% retain that higher RSF factor. (d) Where assets have less than six months remaining in the encumbrance period, those assets may receive the same RSF factor as an equivalent asset that is unencumbered.

32.2.0.0.0.0 Total Available Stable Funding
32.2.1.0.0.0 Liabilities and capital assigned a 100% ASF factor
32.2.1.1.0.0 Total regulatory capital before capital deductions (excluding Tier 2
instruments with residual maturity of less than one year) Total amount of regulatory capital, before the application of capital deductions, as defined in the Banking Act Directions No. 01 of 2016 on Capital Requirements under Basel III excluding the value of Tier 2 instruments with residual maturity of less than one year.
32.2.1.2.0.0 Any other capital instrument with effective residual maturity of one year
or more
Total amount of any capital instrument not included above that has an effective residual maturity of one year or more, but excluding any instruments with explicit or embedded options that, if exercised, would reduce the expected maturity to less than one year. Value of Tier 2 instruments, with effective residual maturity of one year or more, that is not captured under 32.2.1.1.0.0 is eligible under this.
32.2.1.3.0.0 Secured and unsecured borrowings and liabilities with effective residual
maturities of one year or more
Total amount of secured and unsecured borrowings and liabilities (including term deposits) with effective residual maturities of one year or more. Cash flows falling below the one-year horizon but arising from liabilities with a final maturity greater than one year do not qualify for the 100% ASF factor. If a bank allows a depositor to withdraw a term deposit without applying a significant penalty that is materially greater than the loss of interest, or despite a clause that says depositor has no legal right to withdraw, the entire category should be treated as demand deposits regardless of the remaining maturity. Net deferred tax liabilities (if deferred tax liabilities are greater than deferred tax assets) should be treated according to the nearest possible date on which

such liabilities could be realised; and minority interest, should be treated according to the term of the instrument, usually in perpetuity. Based on that these liabilities are assigned either a 100% ASF factor if the effective maturity is one year or greater under 32.2.1.3.0.0, 50% if the effective maturity is between six months and less than one year under 32.2.3.4.0.0 or 0% otherwise under 32.2.4.2.0.0.
32.2.2.0.0.0 Liabilities assigned a 90% ASF factor
32.2.2.1.0.0 Non-maturity deposits and term deposits with residual maturity of less
than one year provided by retail customers and SME Non-maturity deposits and/or term deposits with residual maturity of less than one year provided by retail customers and SME. In the case of SME, the total amount of deposits placed with the bank by an SME shall not exceed Rs. 250 million. Qualifying criteria to be classified as an SME are as follows:
(i) The annual turnover of the SME shall not exceed Rs.750 million at the time of obtaining the deposit/granting the facility; (ii) The annual turnover should be based on latest available audited financial statements or certified by a Chartered Accountant or an Approved Accountant acceptable to the Department of Inland Revenue. In the case of draft financial statements, the turnover certified by a Chartered Accountant or an Approved Accountant should be obtained within the year; (iii) The criterion (ii) above shall be applicable if the total amount of deposits placed with the bank by the SME or the total exposure (including off-balance sheet exposure) to the SME is greater than or equal to Rs. 50 million. Otherwise banks may adopt their own internal mechanism to verify the annual turnover of the SME.

32.2.3.0.0.0 Liabilities assigned a 50% ASF factor
32.2.3.1.0.0 Funding with residual maturity of less than one year provided by non￾financial corporate customers

one year not included in the above categories, including funding provided by central banks and financial institutions Secured and unsecured other funding with residual maturity between six months and less than one year not included in the above categories, including funding provided by central banks and financial institutions. Refer Banking Act Directions No. 1 of 2016 of Capital Requirements under Basel III for indicative list of financial institutions. Net deferred tax liabilities and minority interest shall be treated as instructed in 32.2.1.3.0.0.
32.2.4.0.0.0 Liabilities assigned a 0% ASF factor
32.2.4.1.0.0 All other liabilities and equity not included in the above categories

32.2.4.2.0.0 Other liabilities without a stated maturity
This category may include short positions and open maturity positions. Net deferred tax liabilities and minority interest shall be treated as instructed in 32.2.1.3.0.0.
32.2.4.3.0.0 NSFR derivative liabilities net of NSFR derivative assets (if NSFR
derivative liabilities are greater than NSFR derivative assets) NSFR derivative liabilities net of NSFR derivative assets, if NSFR derivative liabilities are greater than NSFR derivative assets. i.e. ASF = 0% * MAX ((NSFR derivative liabilities - NSFR derivative assets), 0). Derivative liabilities are calculated based on the replacement cost for derivative contracts (obtained by marking to market), where the contract has a negative value. When an eligible bilateral netting (refer consultation paper on leverage ratio for eligibility criteria until final Directions on leverage ratio is issued) contract is in place, the replacement cost for the set of derivative exposures covered by the contract will be the net replacement cost. In calculating NSFR derivative liabilities, collateral posted in the form of variation margin in connection with derivative contracts must be deducted from the negative replacement cost. NSFR derivative liabilities = (derivative labilities) – (total collateral posted as variation margin on derivative liabilities).
32.2.4.4.0.0 “Trade date” payables arising from purchases of financial instruments,
