  2. Balances referring to the daily closing of the national currency demand deposit account, opened at the Bank of Angola in the name of each Banking Financial Institution, are eligible for compliance with mandatory reserves in national currency.

  3. The following assets are eligible for compliance with mandatory reserves in foreign currency: a. 20% (twenty percent) with the balance of the foreign currency deposit account opened at the Bank of Angola in the name of each Banking Financial Institution; b. 80% (eighty percent) with Treasury Bonds in foreign currency belonging to the own portfolio registered in SIGMA, issued from 2015 onwards.

The mandatory reserve coefficient to be applied to the daily balances of the items composing the incidence base defined in number 2, excluding the accounts of the Central Government, Local Governments and Municipal Administrations, is 19% (nineteen percent).

CONTINUATION OF INSTRUCTION NO. 05/2018 Page 4 of 12 8.2. The mandatory reserve coefficients to be applied to the daily balances of the Central Government accounts - NC is 75% (seventy-five percent) and to the balances of Local Governments and Municipal Administrations - NC is 50% (fifty percent). 8.3.

  1. The liability for the incidence base in national currency, subject to the coefficient of 19% (nineteen percent), is calculated weekly on the arithmetic mean of the balances determined in the respective accounts on business days of the week, following the following formula: • ETn = crn {∑ [Dtn (T –1)]/N} Where: • ETn = liability of week T in NC, corresponding to 19% (nineteen percent) on the incidence base, excluding the accounts of the Central Government, Local Governments and Municipal Administrations; • crn = mandatory reserve coefficient corresponding to 19% (Nineteen percent); • T = T-th calendar week in which the compliance of mandatory reserves occurs, (T=1, 2, 3,...,52);

CONTINUATION OF INSTRUCTION NO. 05/2018 Page 5 of 12 • T-1 = T-th calendar week in which the constitution of the final daily credit balances registered in the incidence base accounts referred to in point 8.1 occurs, (T-1=-52, 1, 2,..., 51); • t = business day of the constitution week T-1; • Dtn (T – 1) = final daily credit balances registered in the incidence base accounts referred to in point 8.1, reported on the first business day of the compliance week; • N = number of business days of week T-1.

  1. The liability for the incidence base in foreign currency, subject to the coefficient of 15% (fifteen percent), is calculated weekly on the arithmetic mean of the balances determined in the respective accounts on business days of the week, following the following formula: • ETe = cre {∑ [Dte (T –1)]/N} Where: • ETe = liability of week T in FC corresponding to 15% (fifteen percent) on the incidence base excluding the accounts of the Central Government, Local Governments and Municipal Administrations; • cre = mandatory reserve coefficient corresponding to 15% (fifteen percent); • T = T-th calendar week in which the calculation of mandatory reserves occurs, (T=1, 2, 3,..., 52); • T-1 = T-th calendar week in which the constitution of the final daily credit balances registered in the incidence base accounts referred to in point 8.3 occurs, (T-1= -52, 1, 2, ..., 51); • t = business day of the constitution week (T-1);

CONTINUATION OF INSTRUCTION NO. 05/2018 Page 6 of 12 • Dte (T – 1) = final daily credit balances registered in the incidence base accounts referred to in point 8.3, reported on the first business day of the compliance week; • N = number of business days of week T-1.

  1. For the purposes of this Instruction, business days are considered to be the days of the week, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays.

  2. The amount up to 5% (five percent) of the weekly arithmetic mean of the final daily balances, determined in account 1.10.10 National Currency Cash of the Chart of Accounts of Financial Institutions (CONTIF ADJUSTED), of the constitution week, may be deducted from the liability in NC calculated in accordance with point 8.1 of this Instruction. For this purpose, the values of checks returned by the clearing service must not be computed.

  3. Furthermore, the amount of 80% (eighty percent) of the Assets representing the value of disbursements of NC credits granted to projects in the sectors of agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries, provided they have a maturity greater than or equal to 24 (twenty-four) months, may also be deducted from the liability in NC calculated in accordance with point 8.1 of this Instruction.

  4. The amount for the purpose of deducting the mandatory reserve, referred to in the previous paragraph, is determined based on the position of the last day of the constitution week of the credit portfolio granted by the Banking Financial Institution registered in the Supervision System of Financial Institutions of the Bank of Angola (SSIF).

  5. The effective value of the reserves to be considered for compliance with the liability in NC is equal to the sum of 75% (seventy-five percent) of the daily balances of the Central Government accounts, 50% (fifty percent) of the daily balances of the Local Governments and Municipal Administrations accounts and the amount referred to in point 8.1, deducted from the amounts established in numbers 12 and 13 according to the following formula:

The collection of charges resulting from the penalties provided for in number 18 of this Instruction is carried out until the last business day of the week following the occurrence, by debit of the demand deposit accounts in national currency with the Bank of Angola, both for non-compliance in NC and for non-compliance in FC. For non-compliance in FC, the equivalence will be made through the exchange rate referred to in number 17 of this Instruction.
