4 PART I INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Circular is to present the latest returns and instructions, directives and interpretations thereof, to all banking institutions. The objective of the directives and interpretations is to provide guidance on the basic principles to be applied when completing the statutory returns and to provide instructions on the caption on each line item and column on the returns. All the prescribed returns shall reflect the management accounts as presented to the senior management and board of a bank. In the event of conflict between the instructions prescribed in this circular and the manner in which the management accounts of the bank concerned are completed, the banking institution is welcome to report amounts differently, provided that a detailed explanation on the difference is furnished together with the relevant return, to this office. The definitions or terms used within this document are as defined in the Act and/or the relevant Determinations, or as reasonably implied by contextual usage. PART II GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS a) Close of Business The term "close of business" refers to the time established by the reporting banking institution as the cut-off time for receipt of work for posting transactions to its general ledger accounts for that day. The time designated as the close of business should be reasonable and applied consistently. The posting of a transaction to the general ledger means that both debit and credit entries are recorded as of the same date. In addition, entries made to general ledger accounts in the period subsequent to the close of business on the reporting date that are applicable to the period covered by the returns (e.g., adjustments of accruals, posting of items held in suspense on the report date to their proper accounts, and other month-end adjusting entries) should be reported in the returns as if they had actually been posted to the general ledger at or before the cut-off time on the reporting date.

5 With respect to deposits received by the reporting banking institution after the cut-off time for posting them to individual customer accounts for a reporting date, but which are nevertheless posted in any manner to the reporting banking institution's general ledger accounts for that reporting date (including, but not limited to, through the use of one or more general ledger contra accounts), such deposits must be reported in returns pertaining to that reporting date. Reporting Date The term "Reporting Date" as referred to in this document shall mean the date determined by the Bank as the cut-off date for reporting of balances, transactions or events on the specified returns or reports. Except for the Minimum Liquid Assets Requirement (BIR 610) which shall be reported covering the compliance periods commencing the 15th of the month to which the return relates up to the 14th of the following month, all other monthly returns and reports shall be reported as at or for the period covering up to the end of each calendar month. For returns and reports submitted at quarterly intervals, the reporting date shall be the 31st of March and December and the 30th June and September. For returns and reports submitted at semi-annual and annual intervals, the reporting dates shall be the 30th of June and 31st of December respectively. Otherwise, the reporting date shall be as and when the transaction or event happens. Frequency of Reporting Returns are required to be submitted monthly by all banking institutions except for the following returns, which are required on a less frequent basis: Quarterly BIR 108 - Customer Complaints BIR 170 - Country Risk BIR 301 - Information Security Part B BIR 401 - Capital Adequacy Requirements Basel II BIR 401A - Capital Adequacy Requirements Basel III BIR 501 - Credit Risk return BIR 511 - Single Borrower and Concentration Risk BIR 520 - Interbank Exposures BIR 631 - Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book

All returns and reports shall be prepared in a consistent manner. The banking institution's financial records shall be maintained in such a manner and scope so as to ensure that the returns and statutory reports can be prepared and submitted in accordance with these instructions and directives and reflect a fair presentation of the banking institution's financial condition and results of operations. Questions and requests for interpretations of matters appearing in any part of these instructions and directives should be addressed to the Head of the Banking Supervision Department. Regardless of whether a banking institution requests an interpretation of a matter appearing in these instructions,

7 when the Bank’s interpretation of the instructions differs from the banking institution's interpretation, the Bank may require the banking institution to prepare its returns and reports in accordance with the Bank’s interpretation and to revise returns and reports previously submitted. Certification for submission of statutory returns The BSD has two methods of submitting regulatory returns. Following the digitization introduced by the Bank, most of the regulatory returns will be submitted on a portal. Nonetheless, the following regulatory returns will be submitted through an email/electronic copy. Banking Institutions: Quarterly submissions • BIR: Report on Fraud and Economic Crime Half yearly submissions • BIR-150: Investments and Interest Held • BIR-009: Intragroup exposures and transactions • BIR-010: Group members Yearly submissions • BIR-130: Bank charges and fees • BIR-140: Shareholding in a banking institution / controlling company Electronic copy/email The regulatory returns to be submitted trough the electronic copy-/email should accompanied by the BSD 999. This form shall be signed and certified by the principal officer and the chief accounting officer of a reporting banking institution in respect of each return indicated on the said form, whether such a return is rendered on hardcopy format or by way of an electronic transfer facility. A duly completed, signed and certified form BSD 999 shall accompany every set of statutory returns.

8 In the event that the Principal Officer and/or Chief Accounting Officer is not available to sign a completed form BSD 999, the designated officer performing the relevant function shall sign the form BSD 999 in an acting capacity and not on behalf of the absent Officer. The furnishing of the returns referred to in this document, whether by way of the completion of the prescribed forms or by electronic means, shall be done at the intervals indicated in this document, and such returns shall be forwarded to the Office of Banking Supervision at the Bank of Namibia. Specimen Signatures As a form of control, the banking institutions shall be required to submit a list of specimen signatures of its Principal Officer and Chief Accounting Officer as well as the officers designated to prepare and submit returns in the absence of such Officers, on or before 21st January each year or after any change in the designated Officers. Submission of the Returns and Reports Each banking institution must submit its returns and reports in the manner and format prescribed by the Bank from time to time. Each banking institution is responsible for ensuring that the return used on each reporting date is the appropriate form for the banking institution to use and reflects fully and accurately the item reporting requirements for that reporting date, including any changes that may be made from time to time. Navigating the automated system Automated System reporting The regulatory returns shall be prepared by designated officer of the reporting banking institution. Thereafter, the regulatory returns shall be reviewed and submitted by the chief accounting officer or the designated officer performing the relevant function. The chief accounting officer of a banking institution or a delegated officer is attesting the correctness by submitting the regulatory returns.

18 When dealing with the recognition and measurement of events and transactions in the returns, revised returns may be required if the Bank determines that the returns as previously submitted contain errors that are material for the reporting banking institution. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS a) Scope of the "Consolidated Banking Institution" Required to be reported in the Submitted Reports When preparing returns for submission to the Bank, banking institutions and their subsidiaries shall present their financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis in accordance with the relevant Financial Reporting Standards. Accordingly, the consolidated returns shall consolidate the operations of: (1) the banking institution's head office; (2) all domestic and foreign branches of the banking institution; (3) all majority-owned foreign banks held by the reporting banking institution; and (4) all other majority-owned subsidiaries Each banking institution shall account for any investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, associated companies, and those corporate joint ventures over which the bank exercises significant influence in accordance with the relevant Financial Reporting Standards. Exclusions from the Coverage of the Consolidation Trust accounts - For purposes of the returns, the reporting banking institution's trust department is not to be consolidated into the reporting banking institution's Statement of Financial Position or Statement of comprehensive income. Assets held in or administered by the bank's trust department and the income earned on such assets are excluded from all of the other returns except when trust funds are deposited with the reporting banking institution. When such trust funds are deposited in the banking institution, they are to be reported as deposit liabilities on form BIR 101 in the deposit category appropriate to the beneficiary. Interest paid by the bank on such deposits is to be reported as part of the reporting banking institution's interest expense on form BIR 201.

19 Custody accounts - All custody and safekeeping activities (i.e., the holding of securities, jewellery, coin collections, and other valuables in custody or in safekeeping for customers) are not to be reflected on any basis in the Statement of Financial Position unless cash funds held by the banking institution in safekeeping for customers are commingled with the general assets of the reporting banking institution. In such cases, the commingled funds would be reported as deposit liabilities of the reporting banking institution. Rules of Consolidation For purposes of this Circular, all offices (i.e., branches and subsidiaries) that are within the scope of the consolidated bank as defined above are to be reported on a consolidated basis. Unless the line item instructions specifically state otherwise, this consolidation shall be on a line-by-line basis, according to the caption shown. As part of the consolidation process, the results of all transactions and all inter-company balances (e.g., outstanding asset/debt relationships) between offices, subsidiaries, and other entities included in the scope of the consolidated bank are to be eliminated in the consolidation and must be excluded from the Statement of Financial Position and Statement of comprehensive income. For example, eliminate in the consolidation (1) loans made by the banking institution to a consolidated subsidiary and the corresponding liability of the subsidiary to the bank, (2) a consolidated subsidiary's deposits in the bank and the corresponding cash or interest-bearing asset balance of the subsidiary, and (3) the inter-company interest income and expense related to such loans and deposits of the banking institution and its consolidated subsidiary. However, this elimination excludes (1) loans made by the banking institution to the parent company, unconsolidated subsidiaries, associated companies, and those corporate joint ventures over which the bank exercises significant influence and the corresponding liability of those companies, or conversely, (2) the parent company’s, unconsolidated subsidiaries’, associated companies’, deposits in the bank and the corresponding cash or interest-bearing asset balance. (3) Accordingly, interest income and expense related to such loans and deposits of the banking institution and its parent and associates shall not be eliminated on consolidation. Subsidiaries of subsidiaries – For a subsidiary of banking institution which is in turn the parent of one or more subsidiaries;

20 (1) Each subsidiary shall consolidate its controlled subsidiaries in accordance with the consolidation requirements set forth above. (2) Each subsidiary shall account for any investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, corporate joint ventures over which it exercises significant influence, according to the equity method of accounting. Minority interests – For the purpose of this Circular, a minority interest arises when the reporting banking institution owns less than 100 percent of the equity of a consolidated subsidiary. The minority interest is part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a subsidiary attributable to interests that are not owed, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by the parent. Report minority interests in the reporting banking institution's consolidated subsidiaries in the "Minority interest in consolidated subsidiaries," line of the statement of financial position. Report income (or loss) associated with such minority interests on the Statement of comprehensive income under line item "Other sundry income". Applicability of International Financial Reporting Standards to Regulatory Reporting Requirements For recognition and measurement purposes, the regulatory reporting requirements applicable to returns and reports shall conform to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) unless expressly stated otherwise in these instructions or the determinations issued in terms of the Banking Institutions Act, no.2 of 1998, as amended. However, when reporting events and transactions not covered in principle by these instructions or authoritative IFRS standards, banking institutions are encouraged to discuss such event or transaction with the Bank. Regardless of whether a banking institution discusses a reporting issue with the Bank, when the Bank’s interpretation of how IFRS should be applied to a specified event or transaction (or series of related events or transactions) differs from the banking institution's interpretation, the Bank may require the banking institution to reflect the event(s) or transaction(s) in its returns in accordance with the Bank’s interpretation and to revise previously submitted returns or reports. These instructions contain certain specific reporting guidance that falls within the range of acceptable practice under IFRS. These instructions have been adopted to achieve safety and soundness and other public policy objectives and to ensure comparability. Should the need arise in the future; other specific reporting guidance that falls within the range of IFRS may be issued.

21 There may be areas in which a banking institution wishes more technical detail on the application of accounting standards and procedures to the requirements of these instructions. Such information may be requested from the Bank or from the banking institution’s external auditors. MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS a) Calculation of averages

  1. The average daily balance for the month in respect of liabilities or asset item, or any other balance, identified in the statutory returns, shall be calculated by totaling the amounts thereof for each day of all the days in the month and dividing such a total by the number of calendar days in the particular month to which the statement relates.
  2. The balance used in respect of a day on which the reporting banking institution is not open for business shall be the total of the relevant liability or asset item, or any other balance as at the close of business on the preceding business day. This rule is only applicable where the systems of the reporting banking institution are not able to calculate balances on non-business days.
  3. If the reporting banking institution is unable to calculate an average daily balance for the month as envisaged in (1) above, the bank may apply to the Bank of Namibia for approval to use, in respect of a particular item, the month-end figure for the reporting month and the relevant figures for the preceding two month-ends to calculate the average balance. Gross balances
  4. Unless otherwise provided in these Directives, including the statutory returns, all information required to be reported in the returns shall be reported on the basis of gross balances.
  5. The reduction of balances shall only be permitted as a result of the application of set-off and cash management scheme, in terms of Circular BIA 5/98.
  6. Assets pledged as security for liabilities of the reporting banking institution, and such liabilities, shall be reported respectively on the basis of gross balances. Verification

Public DIRECTIVES AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE COMPLETION OF CONSOLIDATED RETURN ON CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO

  1. PURPOSE The purpose of this return is to calculate the risk-weighted amount for credit risk of banking institutions in Namibia, capturing both on- and off-balance sheet exposures based on the requirements of the standardized approach framework as specified by the Bank under the: • Determination on the Measurement and Calculation of Capital Charges for Credit Risk, Operational Risk, and Market Risk (BID-5); and, • Determination on the Measurement and Calculation of Capital Charges for Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Market Risk for Domestic Systemically Important Banks (BID-5A). All reporting banking institutions in Namibia are required to use the standardized approach to compute their risk-weighted amounts for credit risk.
  2. FREQUENCY Quarterly
  3. GENERAL GUIDELINES These directives and instructions for completion of the returns should be read in conjunction with the general notes, definitions and relevant provisions of BID-5.
  4. REPORTING BANKING INSTITUTIONS For locally authorised banking institutions, data should be prepared for the consolidated group i.e. the global operations of the banking institutions and all its controlled entities (where relevant), consolidated in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Banking institutions should consult the Bank in case of doubt as to whether a subsidiary or controlled entity that engaged in non-financial operations should be consolidated for capital adequacy purposes.

119 5. UNIT OF MEASUREMENT Banking institutions are required to complete the returns in thousands of Namibian Dollars. The amounts denominated in foreign currency are to be converted to N$ in accordance with The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. RWCR-2: CREDIT RISK WEIGHTED ASSETS – PART 1 6. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS Reporting banking institutions shall, under these directives and instructions compute their risk-weight amounts for credit risk by: (a) multiplying the amount of on balance sheet exposures (net off realizable value of recognized collaterals net off of amount of specific provisions in respect of past due exposures) by the applicable risk weights as specified in the return, taking into consideration whether such an exposures are to clients with specific ECAI credit assessment rating or not, and (b) multiplying the principal amount of off-balance sheet exposures by the relevant credit conversion factors, the resultant credit-equivalent shall be assigned a risk-weight applicable to the corresponding on balance sheet assets category.

RWCR- 4: MARKET RISK RETURN

  1. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS Basis of preparation Capital charges for each relevant component of the market risk should be reported on this form. The total capital charge for each asset class assessed using the standardized method is then calculated by summing the various components. Finally, the total market risk capital charge is to be entered as the sum of the standardized method charges for each asset class plus any charge reported under the Value at Risk (VaR) or Internal Limit approaches. The total market risk capital charge must then be multiplied by a constant factor of 10 and reported on the Capital Adequacy Returns
  2. STANDARD METHOD 2.1 Interest rate risk All positions forming part of the trading book in debt or other interest rate-related securities, including interest rate derivatives, forward foreign exchange and quasi-debt securities that behave like debt The Standard Method should be reported in Tables 1 and 2. The total capital requirement for interest rate risk consists of charges for specific risk, general market risk, and interest rate-sensitive options risks. Specific Tables (a) Table 1: Specific risk – securities denominated in domestic currency

125 The sum of the market values of individual positions in each issuer category should be reported in the first and second column for short and long positions respectively. In summing the market values within each category, if there is a matched position in the same security (i.e. both the issuer and issue are identical), the matching positions may be offset and omitted from the calculation of specific interest rate risk. Specific risk is to be assessed according to the classification of issuer of the security or underlying security in the case of derivative instruments. Issuers are classified into the categories of government, qualifying and other, as defined in BID-5. Instruments with issuers in the qualifying category should be further classified according to the residual term to final maturity of the security or underlying security. The capital charge is calculated as the risk weight multiplied by the gross market value and is reported in the last column of Table 1. The total specific risk charge for interest rate risk is also reported under item “A (a)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (b) Table 2: Specific risk – securities denominated in foreign currency The sum of the market values of individual currency positions in each issuer category should be reported in the first and second column for short and long positions respectively. In summing the market values within each category, if there is a matched position in the same security (i.e. both the issuer and issue are identical), the matching positions may be offset and omitted from the calculation of specific interest rate risk. Specific risk is to be assessed according to the classification of issuer of the security or underlying security in the case of derivative instruments. Issuers are classified into the categories of government, qualifying and other, as defined in BID-5. Instruments with issuers in the qualifying category should be further classified according to the residual term to final maturity of the security or underlying security. The capital charge is calculated as the risk-weight multiplied by the gross market value and is reported in the last column of Table 2. The total specific risk charge for interest rate risk from Tables 1 and 2 is also reported under item “A (a)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (c) Table 3: General market risk The data to be entered into Table 3 should be calculated according to the methodology detailed in BID￾5. These calculations should be performed and the results reported on Table 3 separately (without offsetting across currencies) for each currency in which material interest rate exposures are held and in aggregate for all currencies in which there are non-material interest rate exposures. BID-5 allows the

126 choice between different methods for the calculation of general interest rate risk (i.e. maturity and duration methods). For each currency, specify the method used in calculating the capital charge. If more than one method is being used for a currency, report the calculations for each method on a different currency and method combination table. BID-5 allows the offsetting of positions. Banking institutions performing such offsetting should report those positions (netted). The net long and net short risk weighted positions for each time band should be reported according to the definitions of the bands in BID-5. Offsetting of positions is allowable according to the requirements set out in the Determination. The total general market risk charge is to be reported in the respective lines of the final column of Table 3 for each currency and method combination. This is the sum of the net position and vertical and horizontal disallowances (calculated in accordance with BID-5). The total general market risk charge summed across all currencies and methods will be entered in the bottom row of Table 2 and will also be reported under item “A (b)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. 2.2 Equity Positions Risk (d) Table 4: Equity positions risk Positions are to be reported on a market-by-market basis, with a separate calculation for each national market in which the banking institutions hold equities to be reported as a separate line. Equities with listings in more than one market should be reported as positions in the market of their primary listing. Specific risk charge An "equity position" is the net of short and long exposures to an individual company. Specific risk is assessed as the sum of the net short or long exposure to individual companies irrespective of sign. • Positions attracting 8 per cent specific risk charge The capital charge for specific risk is equal to 8 per cent of the gross position (i.e. the sum of the absolute value of all long equity positions and of all short equity positions). The exceptions to this rule are where: • the portfolio is both liquid and well diversified (refer to BID-5); • the position is in an approved index contract; and

127 The gross value of all positions not eligible for any of these exceptions is to be reported in the second column: “Positions attracting 8% specific risk”. • Positions attracting 4 per cent specific risk charge A portfolio is both liquid and well diversified if it satisfies the conditions outlined in BID-5. The specific risk charge is then equal to 4 per cent of the gross position. The gross value of all positions subject to a 4 per cent specific risk charge is to be reported in the third column: “Positions attracting 4% specific risk”. • Positions attracting 2 per cent specific risk charge Positions eligible for a 2 per cent specific risk capital charge are set out in BID-5. The gross value of all positions subject to a 2 per cent specific risk charge is to be reported in the fourth column: “Positions attracting 2% specific risk”. • Total specific risk charge The total specific risk charge is the sum of 8 per cent of column 1, plus 4 per cent of column 2, plus 2 per cent of column 3. This amount is to be reported in the fifth column: “Total Specific Risk Charge”. • Net positions for general market risk The net position in each market is to be reported in column 6. The net position in each equity market is calculated as the difference between the sum of the long positions and the sum of the short positions. An overall net short position in a market should be indicated by a negative sign. General market risk charge The general market risk charge for each market, to be reported in column 7, is 8 per cent of the absolute value of the net position. Total market risk charge The total market risk charge is the sum of the value of column 5 (total specific risk charge) and the value of column 7 (general market risk charge). For each market this total is to be reported in column 8: “Total Market Risk Charge”. The total market risk charge across all countries will equal to the sum of column 7. This capital charge number will be reported as Equity Position Risk under item “B (a)” of the Market Risk Summary Report.

128 2.3 Foreign Currency Limits (e) Table 5: Foreign currency limits Note: Column or item numbers below refer to column and subscript numbers in Table 5. A net long position (assets > liabilities) is shown as a positive number and a net short position as a negative number. COLUMN A: Foreign currency Currencies for which the maximum net position exceeds 1% of capital base should be listed specifically in the lines provided for under “Other”. COLUMN B: On-balance sheet net Transfer the appropriate amounts in the different currencies shown on Table 5 to the appropriate lines in this column. COLUMN C: Off-balance sheet net Transfer the appropriate amounts in the different currencies shown from Table 4 to the appropriate lines in this column. COLUMN E: Exchange rates at reporting date All banking institutions shall show prevailing close-of-business spot rate. COLUMN F: Overall net position To properly convert some of the currencies which are reported under this column, banking institutions will need to divide 1 by the currency. LINE ITEM NUMBERS

129 1: Qualifying capital in N$ For the purpose of this return, qualifying capital shall mean capital funds as determined in accordance with the BID-5. This amount shall be reported in Namibia Dollar. 5: Total of overall “long” positions Banking institutions shall report in this line item the sum of only the overall “long” positions from column F. Amounts must be shown as absolute numbers, i.e. +105 shall be reported as 105. 6: Total of overall “short” positions Banking institutions shall report in this line item the sum of only the overall net “short” positions from column F. Amounts must be shown as absolute numbers, i.e. -105 shall be reported as 105. 2.4 Commodities (f) Table 6: Simplified method: Commodities Banking institutions which use the standard approach to calculate the capital charge for commodities risk should complete Table 6. Banking institutions which use the maturity ladder approach should complete Table 7. All commodity positions, both on- and off-balance sheet, which are affected by changes in commodity prices should be included. This includes commodity forwards, commodity futures and commodity swaps. It also includes the delta-equivalent of commodity options (where the delta-plus method for options is used). Commodity derivatives should be converted into notional commodity positions according to the methods set out in BID-5. Each commodity position should first be expressed in terms of the standard unit of measurement (barrels, kilos, grams, etc) and then converted into Namibian Dollars using spot rates applying at the close of business on the reporting date (report the Namibian Dollar figure). If prior approval has been obtained from the Bank, positions in foreign currency denominated commodities may be segmented into a commodity exposure and a foreign currency exposure. The capital charge must be calculated separately for each commodity. Positions in different commodities may not, as a general rule, be offset (refer to BID-5 for details of permissible offsetting).

130 List each separate commodity in which your banking institution has positions. Report the total short position and the total long position in each commodity. In the last column report the capital charge for each commodity. This is calculated as 15 per cent of the net open position (the difference between the total short position and the total long position) plus 3 per cent of the gross position (the sum of the absolute values of the total short position and the total long position). The capital charges for each individual commodity will be summed to give the total capital charge for commodities risk under the simplified method. This will then be reported at item “D (a)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (g) Table 7: Maturity ladder method List each separate commodity in which your banking institution has positions. In each of the maturity bands, report the total long position and the total short position in each commodity. Physical stocks should be allocated to the first time band. Positions in commodity derivatives should be assigned maturities following the treatment set out in BID-5. In the last column report the total capital charge for each commodity. The method for calculating the capital charge is outlined in BID-5. A separate calculation must be performed for each commodity in which the banking institution has a position. The capital charges for each individual commodity will be summed to give the total capital charge for commodities risk under the maturity ladder method and reported in the last row of Table 6. This will also be reported under item “D (b)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (h) Table 8: Options - Simplified method The simplified method may only be used by those banking institution handling a limited range of purchased options. The method requires that options and any associated underlying positions be excluded from the asset class calculations detailed in tables 1 to 7. Instead a separate capital charge is calculated for each option portfolio. The method for calculating the capital charge on an options position depends on whether the position is covered or naked. Option positions, which are partially covered, should be separated into a fully covered position and a naked position.

131 For both covered and naked positions, if positions do not fall within the trading book, for example options on certain foreign exchange or commodities positions, banking institution may use the book value rather than market value. For each asset class (interest rates, equities, foreign exchange and commodities) report the capital charge (refer to BID-5) for the following positions separately: Covered positions: - purchased put and long underlying

  • purchased call and short underlying Naked positions: - purchased put
  • purchased call The sum of the capital charges for all positions within each asset class will be reported in the “total capital charge” row. These totals for each asset class will then be entered on the Market Risk Summary Report under items “A (c)”; “B (b)”; “C (b)”; and “D (c)” respectively. (i) Table 9: Options – Delta-plus method • Those banking institutions that have obtained approval from the Bank to use the delta-plus method must complete Table 9. • Banking institutions using this method must first calculate the delta-equivalent position of each option. The delta-equivalent position is calculated by multiplying the market value of the underlying position by the absolute value of the delta calculated on that position. • For options with interest rate instruments as the underlying, the delta-equivalent position must be included in the positions and capital charge calculations entered in Tables 1 and 2 in accordance with the instructions applicable to interest rate instruments. • For options with equity instruments as the underlying, the delta-equivalent position must be incorporated in Table 4 in the appropriate column as part of a gross position for specific risk depending on whether the underlying instrument attracts an 8 per cent, 4 per cent or 2 per cent specific risk charge. The delta-equivalent position must also be included in Table 4 in the column titled Net Position for General Market Risk. The specific risk and general market risk treatment should be in accordance with the instructions for Table 4.

132 • For options with foreign exchange or gold as the underlying, the delta-equivalent position must be entered in Table 5 in accordance with reporting instructions applicable to foreign exchange and gold. Note: for an option over a currency pair not involving Namibian Dollar, two delta-equivalent positions must be entered into Table 5, one corresponding to the currency bought and the other corresponding to the currency sold. For currency pairs involving Namibian Dollar, only one delta￾equivalent position is entered in Table 5 for the foreign currency. • For options with commodities as the underlying, the delta-equivalent position must be slotted into either the simplified method (Table 5) or the maturity ladder method (Table 6). This should be reported in accordance with instructions that apply to commodity risk. • Secondly, banking institutions must calculate the gamma impact of each option as detailed in BID-5. Total gamma impacts must be calculated and reported separately for options over interest rates, equities, foreign exchange and gold, and commodities respectively in Table 9. • Thirdly, Vega impacts must be calculated (using the method set out in Appendix 7 of BID-5) and reported separately in Table 9 for options over interest rates, equities, foreign exchange and gold, and commodities respectively. • Fourthly, totals will be calculated in Table 9 by adding the gamma impact and the Vega impact for each of the interest rate, equities, foreign exchange and gold, and commodities categories. These four totals will also be entered on the Market Risk Summary Report at items “A (d)”; “B (c)”; “C (c)”; and “D (d)” respectively. 3. SCENARIO ANALYSIS METHOD Those banking institutions that have obtained approval from the Bank to use the contingent loss method must complete Tables 10 to 13. The contingent loss method requires exclusion of the options and any associated hedges in the underlying instrument from the asset class calculations in Tables 1 to 7. Instead a separate capital charge is determined. A scenario matrix is constructed that contains changes in the value of the options portfolio and hedges given specified changes in underlying prices and volatility. A capital charge for general market risk is then determined by taking the largest loss that appears in the matrix.

133 Specific risk charges, for those options where specific risk is present, are to be separately assessed based on the delta-equivalent amount of each option. For options with interest rate instruments as the underlying, the delta-equivalent positions must be included in the positions and capital charge calculations entered in Table 1. For equity options the delta-equivalent position must be included in Table 4 as part of the gross position for specific risk. (j) Table 10: Interest rate options A different scenario matrix must be established for each time band and by each currency (refer to Appendix 2 of BID-5). Banking institutions that have obtained the Bank’s approval to do so, may base the calculation on a minimum of six sets of time bands. Specific instructions:

  1. for each currency, select the method used in calculating the capital charge;
  2. report the maximum loss figure obtained from the scenario matrix constructed for each time band in each currency;
  3. sum each column to obtain a maximum loss figure for all time bands by each currency. Report this figure in the top line of the final column for each currency; and
  4. the total maximum loss in each currency will be summed to obtain a total capital charge. This figure will also be entered under item “A (e)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (k) Table 11: Equity options Report the maximum loss figure obtained from the scenario matrix constructed for each national market (see Appendix 3 of BID-5). The column will be summed to obtain a total capital charge. This figure will also be entered in item “B d)” on the Market Risk Summary Report. (l) Table 12: Foreign exchange and gold options Report the maximum loss figure obtained from the scenario matrix constructed for each currency pair and gold (see Appendix 4 of BID-5). The column will be summed to obtain a total capital charge. This figure will also be entered under item “C (d)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. (m) Table 13: Commodities options

134 Report the maximum loss figure obtained from the scenario matrix constructed for each commodity (see Appendix 5 of BID-5). The column will be summed to obtain a total capital charge. This figure will also be entered under item “D (e)” of the Market Risk Summary Report. RWCR-3: OPERATIONAL RISK 7. SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS • Under the BIA and TSA (Basic Indicator and The Standardised Approach to Operational Risk), the reporting banking institution’s risk-weighted amounts for operational risk will be calculated based on its average gross1 income of the last 3 years. If a banking institution has been in operation for 18 months or more but less than 3 years, it should treat any partial year of operation of 6 months or more as a full year, and any partial year of operation of less than 6 months as zero for the purposes of calculating the last 3 years mean average of its gross income - banking institution’s business lines. • A newly established banking institution that does not have the required gross income data to calculate the required gross income figures may with the prior written approval of the Bank and subject to such conditions as may be specified, use gross income projections for all or part of the three-year period. These projections shall be reasonable in relation to the expected risk profile of such a banking institution. • If any partial year is counted as a full year, the gross income of that partial year should be annualized and taken as the gross income of that year. If any partial year is treated as zero, the gross income for that partial year should be taken as zero. • The following paragraphs explain how to report the gross income, capital charges and risk-weighted amounts under both the BIA and TSA.

  1. BASIC INDICATOR APPROACH (BIA) 1 Gross income is defined as net interest income plus net non-interest income. It should: (i) be gross of any provisions(e.g. for unpaid interest); (ii) be gross of operating expenses, including fees paid to outsourcing service providers; (iii) excludes realised profits/losses from the sales of securities in the banking book; and (iv) exclude extraordinary or irregular items as well as income derived from insurance.

135 The capital charge for operational risk under the BIA should be calculated using the following formula: K BIA = [∑ GI1…n × ∝]/ n Where: KBIA = the capital charge under the basic indicator approach for calculating operational risk; GI = gross income, where positive, of the last 3 years; n = number of the last three years for which gross income is positive; and α = 15% Note: (a). Any gross income for a year that is negative or zero shall be excluded from the numerator (GI) and the denominator (n) reduced by the year (s) in which negative gross income occurred in the above formula. (b). Reporting banking institutions using the BIA shall complete line items 1.0 to 1.3 NATURE OF ITEMS Report the gross income and capital charges for each of the last 3 years ending on the reporting calendar quarter end date. 1.1: Gross income for the last 3 years is calculated by: • First year: aggregating the gross income recognised by the banking institution in the calendar quarter ending on the reporting calendar quarter end date and in each of the immediately preceding 3 calendar quarters; • Second year: aggregating the gross income recognised by the banking institution in the 4 calendar quarters immediately preceding the first year; and • Third year: aggregating the gross income recognized by the banking institution in the 4 calendar quarters immediately preceding the second year. 1.2: Capital charges (BIA)

136 Capital charge is calculated by multiplying the gross income in each of the relevant quarters in the first, second and third year, where positive, as calculated under (line item 1 above) by a capital charge factor of 15%. 1.3: Gross Income Mean Average This is calculated by dividing the aggregate of capital charges for each of the relevant quarters for the last 3 years, reported in line item 4 by 3. 1.4: Calibrated risk-weighted amount (BIA) This is calculated by multiplying the capital charge under the BIA (as reported under item 1.2) by 10 to obtain the calibrated risk-weighted amount. 2. THE STANDARDIZED APPROACH The capital charge for operational risk under the TSA should be calculated using the following formula: KTSA = {Σ years1-3 max [Σ (GI1-8 x β1-8), 0]} / 3 Where: KTSA = the capital charge under the TSA for calculating operational risk; GI1-8 = gross income for each of the 8 standardized business lines for each of the last 3 years; and β1-8 = the capital charge factor assigned to each of the 8 standardized business lines (as set out in BID-5 under paragraph 8). LINE ITEMS 7 to 16: Gross income for the last 3 years is calculated by: Report gross income recognized by the banking institution in the respective business lines in each quarter of the 3 calendar years. The quarterly gross incomes in each year should be summed up to derive the aggregate gross income per year, which should them be multiplied by the applicable capital charge factor to obtain the capital charge for each business line. 17 Total Capital Charge (TSA) The total capital charge is calculated by adding the capital charges of all the business lines for the three year, where positive gross incomes have been recognized.

137 19 Gross Income Mean Average This is calculated by dividing the Total Capital Charge (TSA) by the number of years, where positive gross incomes have been recognized. 20 Calibrated Risk-weight Amount (TSA) This is calculated by multiplying the Total Capital Charge under the TSA (as reported under item 17) by 10 to obtain the calibrated risk-weighted amount. Note: Any gross income for a year that is negative or zero shall be excluded from the numerator (GI) and the denominator (n) shall reduced by the year (s) in which negative gross income occurred in the above formula. COLUMNS Aggregate Gross Income (years 1 to 3) The quarterly gross incomes reported in over the three years shall be summed up to derive an Aggregate Gross Income figure for each business line (for both the BIA and TSA Approaches). In any given year of the last 3 years, the reporting banking institution may offset a positive capital charge for any standardized business line in the given year with a negative capital charge for any other standardized business line in that given year. However, it shall not offset positive or negative capital charges for standardized business lines between any of the last 3 years. Capital Charges This is calculated by multiplying the Aggregate Gross Income amounts of each business line by the respective allocated capital charge factors.

148 This line item shall reflect the sum of the total loans and advances and should correlate to gross loans and advances per BIR 101. SECTORAL RISK CONCENTRATION - PART C The sectoral classification of loans and advances concentration is based on the purpose for which the loan was granted. Loans granted to a borrower carrying on a mixed business should be classified according to the main activities in which the borrower is engaged, except where separate accounts are maintained which allow simple classification according to the purpose. If several items are integrated in a single unit, and no separate accounts are maintained, the loan should be classified according to the final product, any type of loans or advances given to a borrower for the purpose other than the main type of business, should be regarded as given for the purpose of the main business, i.e. a loan given to a transport company, and the company used the loan to construct a bus terminal should be classified as given to the transport industry. In cases were a specific company is dependent on another company’s operations, for a major part of its income, the classification shall be tied to the sector of the company where main operating activities generate income for both companies. 1 Distributions • This line item shall represent the sectoral distribution of discounts, loans and advances. All amounts reflected in this line item shall be gross amounts. The following sectors have been identified as suitable for the Namibian economy: • Column 1 – Agriculture, Hunting and Forestry: This shall include all loans and advances granted to individuals and institutions for the purpose of agriculture up to the point where the product is ready for processing, e.g. agronomy, forestry, livestock, dairying, meat processing, poultry, gaming and trophy hunting and all the related. • Column 2 – Fishing: This shall include all loans and advances granted to individuals and institutions for the purpose of involving in fishing activities such as fish processing, fish farming and the related.

However, banking institutions should be careful not to report huge figures in this column; otherwise they will need to specify what other is composed of. • Column 15 – Total: This shall reflect the total of the fourteen columns or sectors. This amount shall tie up with the gross loans per the BIR 100. 99 Non-performing loans This line item shall include all loans that are viewed to be not performing according to the economic sectors and no accrual of interest on such loans. A loan is said to be non-performing if it does not generate any income or it is no longer prudent to credit interest receivable to the Statement of comprehensive income. The entire outstanding loan amount shall be considered as non-performing when: any portion of principal or interest is due and unpaid for 90 days or more; or interest payments for 90 days or more have been capitalised, refinanced, or rolled-over into a new loan. 100 Security values Collateral provided to secure the loans per sector given by a reporting banking institution shall be included in this line item.

  2. FREQUENCY

Quarterly 3. INSTRUCTIONS Instructions relating to the completion of the return are furnished with reference to certain item descriptions and line items appearing on the form BIR 631, as follows: Line items Item 2 Fixed rate assets Assets with interest rates fixed up to final maturity date, such as fixed rate term loans, should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to their residual maturities. Item 3 Variable rate assets This item shall include assets which will automatically be repriced at the next repricing date in accordance with the movements in interest rates. These assets should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to the next interest rate fixing date. Such assets include, for example, floating rate CDs/notes and other loans which are automatically priced in accordance with movements in the relevant reference rates. During the period between the final repricing date and the final maturity, these assets should continue to be reported as variable rate assets and slotted into the appropriate time bands according to their residual maturities.

166 Item 4 Managed rate assets This item shall include assets for which there are no fixed repricing dates and the interest rates can be adjusted at any time at the discretion of the reporting institution. These assets should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according the earliest date on which their interest rates can be adjusted assuming that the reference rate (e.g. prime) is adjusted on the business day immediately following the reporting date. Item 5 Non-rate sensitive assets This item shall include any asset item, the relevant value of which is not sensitive to or influenced by a change in interest rates, such as deferred tax asset. Item 6 Weighted average yield Report the weighted average yield of all the interest earning assets reported under items 2-5. The rate reported should be rounded to 2 decimal places. Interest rates applicable to assets at the reporting date should be used for the purpose of calculation. Item 7 Non – interest bearing assets This item shall include, for example, properties, shares, fixed assets and other receivables which are non-interest bearing. Properties and fixed assets should be reported net of depreciation. Item 9 Fixed rate liabilities This item shall include liabilities, such as fixed rate deposits, money market deposit and term deposits are to be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to their residual maturities. Item 10 Variable rate liabilities This item shall include, for example, floating rate debt instruments issued by the reporting banking institution where the interest rate is adjusted automatically on the repricing date in accordance with movements in the relevant reference rates. The liabilities should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to the next interest rate fixing date. As with variable rate assets, these liabilities should continue to be classified as variable rate liabilities according to their residual maturities during the period between the final repricing date and the maturity date. Item 11 Managed rate liabilities This item shall include, for example, deposits for which interest rates can be adjusted at the discretion of the reporting banking institution. They should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to the earliest date on which their interest rates can be adjusted assuming that the reference rates are adjusted on the business day immediately following the reporting date.

167 Item 12 Non-rate sensitive liabilities This item shall include any liability item, the relevant value of which is not sensitive to or influenced by a change in interest rates. Item 13 Weighted average interest cost Report the weighted average interest cost of all the interest bearing liabilities reported in line items 9 to 12. The rate reported should be rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. Item 14 Equity Capital These include the capital, reserves (including retained earnings) and profit and loss accounts of the reporting institution. Interest bearing capital items (such as preference shares and subordinated debts) should be reported under items 9, 10 and 11 as appropriate. Item 15 Other non-interest bearing liabilities These include, for example, deposits in current accounts and other payables/liabilities which are non￾interest bearing, and loan loss provisions etc. Item 16 Net funding to/from trading This amount shall reflect the net amount of funds borrowed from or lent to the banking related activities of the reporting bank by the bank’s treasury, which treasury activity normally is managed in accordance with the market risk limits and included in the market risk return as part of the reporting bank’s trading activities. Item 17 Net funding to/from N$ banking book This item relates to the completion of the return on a legal entity basis that includes any relevant activity or exposure of a foreign branch and shall reflect the net amount of funds borrowed from or lent to the foreign denominated activities of the reporting bank by the Namibia dollar banking book. Item 20, 21 Forward foreign exchange contracts This item shall include unmatured spot contracts which are for value not more than two business days after the transactions are contracted, and should be slotted into the appropriate time bands according to the residual maturity of the individual contracts. Item 22, 23 Interest rate / cross currency swaps An interest rate / cross currency swap contract obligates an institution to both receive and remit payments that are based on the notional amount of the swap contract. Depending on the contract, an institution

168 may receive fixed-rate and pay floating rate interest on the notional principal and vice versa. Report interest-rate swap contract in terms of which the reporting bank receives a floating-rate as being equal to a long position in a floating rate instrument with the maturity equivalent to the period until the next interest￾rate fixing, and a short position in a fixed rate instrument with the same maturity as the interest-rate swap contract itself. Item 24, 25 Futures / FRAs These should be treated in the same way as a combination of a long and a short position in government securities. The maturity of a futures or a forward rate agreement (FRA) would be the period until delivery or exercise of the contract, plus where applicable, the life of the underlying instruments. Item 26, 27 Options This item shall include option contracts which are related to interest rate instruments and currencies. Report the contract amounts in the relevant time bands based on the relevant settlement date and maturity date of the contract. Option contracts should be reported by using the delta equivalent value of these contracts, which is calculated by multiplying the principal value of the underlying by the delta or, in the case of options on debt instruments, the market value of such debt instruments by the delta. Item 28, 29 Others This item shall include the aggregate amount of any other off-balance sheet items (other than those specifically provided for in the return) which are sensitive to changes in interest . Item 30 Net reprising gap This is the net amount of items 1, 8, 16, 17, 18 and 19. Show figures in brackets to indicate a short position in any of the time bands. Item 31 Time weight on earnings The time weight on earnings (item 31) is used to measure the impact of an interest rate change of 200 basis points on the earnings of the reporting institution in a period of 12 months. For example, if an institution has a positive position of N$10 million in the second (1 to 3 months) time band, an increase in interest rates of 200 basis points would produce additional interest income of approximately $166,667 ($10,000,000 x 2% x 10/12) during the 12-month period. This assumes that all positions are repriced at the mid-point of each time band. The time weights of individual time bands are thus computed as follows: Up to one month: (11.5/12) x 2% = 1.917% 1 to 3 months (10/12) x 2% = 1.667% 3 to 6 months (7.5/12) x 2% = 1.250% 6 to 9 months (4.5/12) x 2% = 0.750%

169 9 to 12 months (1.5/12) x 2% = 0.250% Item 32-33 Impact of Parallel rate shocks – Earnings Perspective The total impact on earnings over the next 12 months should be calculated by summing the weighted positions in different time bands up to 12 months, as computed by multiplying the net position in each time band reported under item 30 by the corresponding time weight specified under item 31. The amounts reported, with short positions shown in brackets, should be rounded to the nearest N$’000 without decimal place. Report the sum of the weighted positions of all time bands under the cumulative total for 12 months column; Based on parallel shift or shock of 200 basis points in the yield curve, up and down, these items shall reflect the simulated impact of the said rate change on the reporting bank’s net interest income, which impact shall be reported in respect of each discrete time bucket, with the cumulative total impact amount reported in the last column. Item 34-36 Impact of parallel rate shocks – Economic Value Perspective The Bank applies a standardised 200-basis-point parallel rate shock to institutions’ interest rate risk exposures to measure the economic value impact of the shock. The impact of the shock is calculated as follows: • multiply the net repricing gap position reported on line item 30 by the corresponding weighting factor as per the table below to obtain a weighted position in each time band; • report the amount (with short positions shown in brackets) on line item 35 and 363 of each time band and round the amount to the nearest N$’000 without decimal place; • report the sum of the weighted positions of all time bands under the cumulative total for 12 months column; Table 1: Weighting factors per time band (second step in the calculation process) Time-band Middle of time-band Proxy of modified duration Assumed change in yield Weighting factor Up to 1month 1 to 3 months 3 to 6 months 6 to 12 months 0.5 months 2 months 4.5 months 9 months 0.04 years 0.16 years 0.36 years 0.71 years 200 bp 200 bp 200 bp 200 bp 0.08% 0.32% 0.72% 1.43%

Item 38-40 Impact of economic value of Equity Based on the relevant amounts reported in items 35 and 36 above, the reporting bank shall express the impact on economic value as a percentage of total qualifying capital under this items for the twelve-month period following the reporting month.
