Market Discipline Guidelines for Banks and Financial Institutions, 2023

The Bank of Tanzania issued these 2023 guidelines to mandate comprehensive disclosure policies and management practices for all banks and financial institutions on a solo and consolidated basis. Institutions must publish semi-annual quantitative data and annual qualitative reports detailing capital adequacy, risk exposures, liquidity coverage, leverage ratios, and credit quality within specified timelines. The framework establishes board-level oversight, materiality-based reporting standards, and a tiered sanctions regime for non-compliance to enhance market discipline and stakeholder confidence.

4 PART I PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS Citation 1. These Guidelines shall be cited as “Market Discipline Guidelines for Banks and Financial Institutions, 2023”. Authorization 2. These Guidelines are issued under Section 71 of the Banking and Financial Institutions Act, 2006. Application 3. These Guidelines shall apply to all banks and financial institutions on solo and consolidated basis and shall come into operation on the 1st day of April 2025. Definitions 4. In these Guidelines, unless the context otherwise requires: “Act” means the Banking and Financial Institutions Act; “Bank” means the Bank of Tanzania; “bank” has the same meaning ascribed to it in the Act; “financial institution” has the same meaning ascribed to it in the Act. Introduction 5. Market discipline is the term that describes the monitoring and control of a bank or financial institution’s management by outside stakeholders to ensure that it acts in their best interests. Market discipline is effective when relevant stakeholders are able to monitor the activities of a bank or financial institution and respond accordingly. 6. Stakeholders who actively monitor the activities of a bank or financial institution and act accordingly, will be able to influence the behavior of the bank or financial institution and discourage it from taking actions that may be damaging to its own interests. 7. Market discipline is most effective when market participants receive frequent, relevant and meaningful information concerning a bank or financial institution’s risk management strategies and operations. 8. The intention of these Guidelines is to encourage the development of disclosure requirements that allow market participants to assess key information on the scope of application, capital risk exposures, risk assessment processes and therefore the capital adequacy of a bank or financial institution. The disclosures have to be consistent with how the board of directors and senior management access and manage the risks of the bank or financial institution.

5 9. Disclosure requirements complements the minimum risk-based capital requirements and other quantitative requirements (Pillar 1) and the supervisory review process (Pillar 2) and aims to promote market discipline by providing meaningful regulatory information to investors and other interested parties on a consistent and comparable basis. 10. Disclosure should be clear, comprehensive, meaningful to users, consistent over the time, and comparable among banks and financial institutions. 11. These Guidelines will also improve comparability and consistency of disclosures between banks and financial institutions. The use of a common framework will introduce the ability of market participants to engage in meaningful comparisons between banks and financial institutions so that they can reward those that manage their risks prudently and penalize those that do not. PART II DISCLOSURE POLICIES AND MANAGEMENT Disclosure Policies 12. A bank or financial institution shall establish appropriate policies and procedures approved by the board that fully outlines its approach to market discipline. At minimum the established policies and procedures shall establish the disclosures to be made, the internal controls over the disclosure process, the frequency and location of disclosures, and the arrangements for ensuring the accuracy and validity of the disclosures. 13. A bank or financial institution’s established disclosure policies and procedures will include a methodology for reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of its established policies and procedures. 14. The disclosure policies shall be reviewed annually or more frequently as may be necessary to ensure that they remain appropriate and prudent. 15. The disclosure policies shall be submitted to the Bank not later than thirty days after being approved by the Board, provided that where any changes are made to the policies, the bank or financial institution shall clearly indicate areas of such changes.

6 Disclosure management 16. A bank or financial institution’s disclosures shall take into consideration the nature, size, complexity, structure and diversity of its operations and all of the relevant risks of its operations in a consistent manner and establish a direct relationship between those risks and its capital requirements. 17. A bank or financial institution’s disclosures shall be consistent with the board of directors’ and senior management’s assessment and management of the bank or financial institution’s operations and inherent risks. 18. Board and senior management shall assess and verify the quality of disclosures before publication. The assessment shall form part of the bank or financial institution’s system of internal controls. The board of directors and senior management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective internal control structure over the disclosure of financial information, including disclosure requirements made under these Guidelines. They must also ensure that appropriate review of the disclosures takes place. One or more senior officers of a bank, ideally at board level or equivalent, must attest in writing that disclosures have been prepared in accordance with the board-agreed internal control processes. 19. The methodology used in preparing a bank or financial institution’s disclosures must be consistent with those used for its audit purposes. Information in a bank or financial institution’s disclosures should be consistent with information in its audited financial statements. 20. A bank or financial institution’s disclosures shall not conflict with established accounting requirements but shall aim to enhance the information of established accounting requirements. Materiality concept 21. A bank or financial institution will decide what is relevant for disclosure purposes based on the materiality concept. Information shall be regarded as material if its omission or misstatement could change or influence the assessment or decision of a user or stakeholder relying on that information for the purpose of making economic decisions. Proprietary and confidentiality 22. A bank or financial institution shall neither publicly disclose information that might put it at a competitive disadvantage nor disclose confidential customer information. A bank or financial institution shall ensure appropriate balance between the need for adequate and meaningful disclosure and the protection of proprietary and confidential information.

7 23. A bank or financial institution shall take caution in exceptional cases where the disclosure of certain items of information required by these Guidelines may seriously prejudice the position of a bank or financial institution by making public information that is either proprietary or confidential in nature. In these exceptional cases a bank or financial institution will not be required to disclose those specific items, but must disclose general information pertaining to the subject matter or the disclosure requirement. The disclosure of the general information in this regard must be accompanied by confirmation that specific information is missing and the reason why the specific items of information have not been disclosed. This exemption will not under any circumstance conflict with the disclosure requirements under the accounting standards. PART III PUBLICATION OF THE DISCLOSURES Publication of disclosures 24. A bank or financial institution shall publish basic quantitative information covering tier I capital, total capital and total required capital on a semi-annual basis and qualitative information that provide a general summary of its risk management objectives, policies, reporting systems and definitions on an annual basis. 25. A bank or financial institution shall publish semi-annual disclosures under guideline 24 within 45 days after the end of the period to which they relate. 26. A bank or financial institution shall publish annual disclosures under guideline 24 within 105 days after the end of the year. 27. A bank or financial institution shall publish disclosures: (a) as a standalone document; or (b) as appendix to its financial reporting; or (c) as a discrete section of its financial reporting, but it must be easily identifiable to users. 28. Where the disclosures are not contained in the financial reporting, the bank or financial institution’s audited or unaudited financial statements will contain a reference as to where the disclosures can be found.

8 29. A bank or financial institution shall publish its disclosures, in its website and in at least two newspapers of wide circulation in the United Republic, excluding weekends and public holidays, in the format prescribed by the Bank. Submission of disclosures 30. A bank or financial institution shall submit to the Bank, a copy of the disclosures within 30 days after the end of the period to which they relate. Disclosures requirements 31. The minimum disclosure requirements are set out in Appendix 1. PART IV GENERAL PROVISIONS Sanctions 32. Without prejudice to penalties and actions prescribed by the Act, and unless otherwise required in these Regulations, the Bank may impose on any bank or financial institution any of the following sanctions for non-compliance- (a) a penalty of the amount to be determined by the Bank; (b) prohibition from participating in the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market; (c) prohibition from declaring or paying dividends; (d) suspension of the privilege to issue letters of credit or guarantee; (e) suspension of access to the credit facilities of the Bank; (f) suspension of lending and investment operations; (g) suspension of capital expenditure; (h) suspension of the privilege to accept new deposits; (i) revocation of banking license; (j) suspension from office of the defaulting director, officer or employee; and (k) disqualification from holding any position or office in any bank or financial institution under the supervision of the Bank. 33.

12 Table 4: Credit quality of assets a b c d Gross carrying values of: Allowances/ impairments Net values (a+b-c) Defaulted exposures Non-defaulted exposures Loans Debt securities Off balance sheet items Total Definitions  Gross carrying values: on- and off-balance sheet items that give rise to a credit risk exposure. On- balance sheet items include loans and debt securities. Off-balance sheet items must be measured according to the following criteria: (a) guarantees given – the maximum amount that the bank or financial institution would have to pay if the guarantee were called. The amount must be gross of any credit conversion factor (CCF) or credit risk mitigation (CRM) techniques. (b) Irrevocable loan commitments – total amount that the bank has committed to lend. The amount must be gross of any CCF or CRM techniques. Revocable loan commitments must not be included. The gross value is the accounting value before any allowance/impairments but after considering write-offs. Banks and financial institutions shall not take into account any credit risk mitigation technique.  Write-offs for the purpose of this template are related to a direct reduction of the carrying amount when a bank or financial institution has no reasonable expectations of recovery.  Defaulted exposures: is a non-performing exposure as determined using criteria prescribed in the Banking and Financial Institutions (Management of Risk Assets), Regulations.  Non-defaulted exposures: any exposure not meeting the above definition of defaulted exposures.  Allowances/impairments: total amount of impairments, made via an allowance against impaired and not impaired exposures according to the applicable accounting framework and regulatory requirement.  Net values: Total gross value less allowances/impairments.

In the formula, all the terms are calculated as the average over three years: T, T–1 and T–2. Row 1a: Interest income from all financial assets and other interest income (includes interest income from financial and operating leases and profits from leased assets). Row 1b: Interest expenses from all financial liabilities and other interest expenses (includes interest expense from financial and operating leases, losses, depreciation and impairment of operating leased assets). Row 1c: Interest Bearing Assets (balance sheet items): Balances with Other Banks; Investment in Debt Securities; Interbank Loans Receivables; Loans Advance and Overdraft; Row 1d: Dividend income from investments in stocks and funds not consolidated in the bank’s financial statements, including dividend income from non-consolidated subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Row 2: Service component (SC) = Max (Fee and commission income; Fee and commission expense)

  • Max (Other operating income; Other operating expense). In the formula, all the terms are calculated as the average over three years: T, T–1 and T–2. Row 2a: Income received from providing advice and services. Includes income received by the bank as an outsourcer of financial services.

20 Row 2b: Expenses paid for receiving advice and services. Includes outsourcing fees paid by the bank for the supply of financial services, but not outsourcing fees paid for the supply of non-financial services (e.g. logistical, IT, human resources). Row 2c: Income from ordinary banking operations not included in other BI items but of a similar nature (income from operating leases should be excluded). Row 2d: Expenses and losses from ordinary banking operations not included in other BI items but of a similar nature and from operational loss events (expenses from operating leases should be excluded). Row 3: Financial component (FC) = Abs (Net P&L Trading Book) + Abs (Net P&L Banking Book). In the formula, all the terms are calculated as the average over three years: T, T–1 and T–2. Row 3a: This comprises (i) net profit/loss on trading assets and trading liabilities (derivatives, debt securities, equity securities, loans and advances, short positions, other assets and liabilities); (ii) net profit/loss from hedge accounting; and (iii) net profit/loss from exchange differences. Row 3b: This comprises (i) net profit/loss on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss; (ii) realised gains/losses on financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit and loss (loans and advances, assets available for sale, assets held to maturity, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost); (iii) net profit/loss from hedge accounting; and (iv) net profit/loss from exchange differences. Row 4: The BI is the sum of the three components: ILDC, SC and FC. Row 5: Given the high value of the BI ranges, all banks and financial institutions in Tanzania would be in bucket 1 and shall therefore apply marginal coefficient of 12% Row 6: The BIC is calculated by multiplying the BI by marginal coefficient (α).

21 Table 12: Market risk Qualitative disclosures A bank or financial institution shall describe its risk management objectives and policies for market risk according to the framework as follows: (a) Strategies and processes of the bank or financial institution, which must include an explanation and/or a description of: • The bank or financial institution’s strategic objectives in undertaking trading activities, as well as the processes implemented to identify, measure, monitor and control the bank’s market risks, including policies for hedging risk and the strategies/processes for monitoring the continuing effectiveness of hedges. • A general description of the trading desk structure. • Policies for determining whether a position is designated as trading, including the definition of stale positions and the risk management policies for monitoring those positions. In addition, banks should describe cases where instruments are assigned to the trading or banking book contrary to the general presumptions of their instrument category and the market and gross fair value of such cases, as well as cases where instruments have been moved from one book to the other since the last reporting period, including the gross fair value of such cases and the reason for the move. • The structure and organisation of the market risk management function, including a description of the market risk. (b) Governance structure established to implement the strategies and processes of the bank or financial institution discussed in (a) above. (c) The scope and nature of risk reporting and/or measurement systems. Quantitative disclosures Capital charge in simplified standardized method Interest rate risk Equity risk Foreign exchange risk

22 Table 13: Interest rate risk in the banking book Qualitative disclosures  The nature of IRRBB and key assumptions, including assumptions regarding loan prepayments and behavior of non-maturity deposits, and frequency of IRRBB measurement. Quantitative disclosures  The increase (decline) in earnings or economic value (or relevant measure used by management) for upward and downward rate shocks according to management’s method for measuring IRRBB, broken down by currency (as relevant).

23 Table 14: Leverage Ratio The leverage ratio is defined as the capital measure divided by the exposure measure, expressed as a percentage. The capital measure is Tier 1 capital as defined for the purposes of the Basel III risk-based capital framework and Capital Adequacy Regulations. In other words, the capital measure for the leverage ratio at a particular point in time is the applicable Tier 1 capital measure at that time. The exposure measure includes both on-balance sheet exposures and off-balance sheet (OBS) items: a) On-balance sheet exposures are generally included at their accounting value. Except where a different treatment is specified, no offset is allowed for physical or financial collateral held, guarantees in favour of the bank or financial institution or other credit risk mitigation techniques. Balance sheet assets that are deducted from Tier 1 capital may also be deducted from the exposure measure. b) Off –balance sheet items arise from such transactions as credit and liquidity commitments, guarantees and standby letters of credit. The amount that is included in the exposure measure is determined by multiplying the notional amount of an OBS item by the relevant credit conversion factors prescribed by the Bank. Liquidity Risk Management Liquidity Coverage Ratio Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) is the ratio of high quality liquid assets to total net cash outflow over the next thirty calendar days period. The ratio is intended to enhance the resilience of banks and financial institutions to a short term liquidity stress. The main objective of introducing LCR is to ensure that every bank and financial institution maintains an adequate stock of unencumbered High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) to meet its liquidity needs over a 30 calendar day period. At a minimum, the stock of unencumbered2 HQLA should enable the bank to survive until Day 30 of the stress scenario, by which time it is assumed that appropriate corrective actions can be taken by management and supervisors, or that the bank can be resolved in an orderly way. Furthermore, it gives the Central Bank additional time to take appropriate measures, should they be regarded as necessary. The LCR should be no lower than 100 percent i.e. the stock of high-quality liquid assets should at least equal total net cash outflows over the next thirty calendar days. The amount of inflows that can be used to offset outflows has been capped in the denominator of the LCR. Thus a bank or financial institution must maintain a minimum stock of liquid assets equal to at least 25 percent of the outflows and ensure that banks and financial institutions cannot rely solely on anticipated inflows to meet their liquidity requirement. 2 Unencumbered here means not pledged (either explicitly or implicitly) to secure or collateralize any transition

25 Net Stable Funding Ratio The Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) is defined as the amount of available stable funding (ASF) relative to the amount of required stable funding (RSF). The purpose of NSFR is to ensure that banks and financial institutions hold a minimum amount of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics of their assets and off-balance sheet activities over a one-year horizon. A sustainable funding structure is intended to reduce the likelihood of erosion of a bank or financial institution’s liquidity position due to disruptions in a bank financial institution’s regular sources of funding that would increase the risk of its failure and potentially lead to broader systemic stress. The NSFR limits over-reliance on short-term wholesale funding during times of abundant market liquidity and encourage better assessment of liquidity risk across all on-and off-balance sheet items and promotes funding stability.
