of the National Bank of Serbia hereby issues the following
D E C I S I O N
ON DETERMINING AND COLLECTING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF BANKS
TO THE BANK RESOLUTION FUND
I. BASIC PROVISIONS
Subject matter
- This Decision regulates in more detail the manner of determining the
contributions of banks to the Bank Resolution Fund (hereinafter: Fund), the
manner and deadlines for their collection, and the information and data
submitted by banks for the purpose of determining these contributions.
Target level of the Bank Resolution Fund
- The target level of the Fund (hereinafter: target level) shall be no less
than 1% of the amount of insured deposits of all banks.
The annual target level is the planned total amount of regular annual
contributions of all banks for the current calendar year and it shall be
determined by the National Bank of Serbia by 30 April of that year.
The National Bank of Serbia shall determine the annual target level by
taking into account the target level referred to in paragraph 1 hereof to be
reached within the deadlines laid down in the Law on Banks (hereinafter: Law),
and on the basis of the average amount of insured deposits in the banking
sector in the previous year, calculated quarterly.
Regular contributions
- The National Bank of Serbia shall the determine the amount of the
regular annual contribution for each bank on the basis of the determined annual
target level.
In determining the contribution referred to in paragraph 1 hereof, the
starting point is the share of the bank’s liabilities, excluding capital calculated
in accordance with the decision regulating the capital adequacy of banks and
the insured amount of deposits (hereinafter: the basic annual contribution), in
2
the total amount of basic annual contributions of all banks. The proportion thus
determined is then applied to the annual target level.
The amount of the regular annual contribution for each bank referred to
in paragraph 2 hereof is risk-adjusted depending on the bank’s risk profile in
line with the criteria laid down in Chapter II of this Decision.
Extraordinary contributions
4. If the collected assets of the Fund are not sufficient to cover the Fund’s
losses, costs or other expenses arising from the usage of the Fund’s assets in
the resolution procedure, the National Bank of Serbia shall prescribe an
obligation for banks to pay extraordinary contributions.
The amount of the extraordinary contribution is determined by
accordingly applying the provisions of Section 3, paragraphs 2 and 3 of this
Decision.
The extraordinary contribution may not exceed three times the amount
of the regular contribution referred to in Section 3 of this Decision determined
in the year for which the extraordinary contribution is determined.
The National Bank of Serbia may, at the bank’s request, defer the
payment of the extraordinary contribution, in full or in part, for a period of up to
six months, if the payment of this contribution would undermine the bank’s
liquidity or solvency.
The bank may repeat the request to defer the payment of the
extraordinary contribution, in full or in part, for a period no more than six
months, if the reasons for the deferral persist.
If the payment of the extraordinary contribution has been deferred in
accordance with paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof, the bank shall pay the amount of
the deferred extraordinary contribution upon the expiry of the time period by
which the payment was deferred or before this deadline, if it is established that
the reasons which led to the deferral no longer exist.
II. MANNER OF DETERMINING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF BANKS
Calculation of regular annual contributions
5. The National Bank of Serbia shall determine the regular annual
contributions for each individual bank, in accordance with Section 3 of this
Decision, by applying the provisions of Sections 5 to 30 of this Decision and
the methodology set out in Annex 1 to this Decision.
Calculation of the basic annual contribution
3
6. The regular annual contribution shall be calculated by excluding from
the basic annual contribution the intragroup liabilities arising from transactions
entered into by the bank with another bank which is a part of the same group,
provided that the following conditions are met:
- each bank is established in the Republic of Serbia;
- each bank is included in the same consolidation on a full basis and
is subject to the same risk evaluation, measurement and control procedures;
- there is no current or foreseen practical or legal impediment to the
prompt repayment of the liability when due between these banks.
The liabilities referred to in paragraph 1 hereof shall be evenly deducted
on a transaction-by-transaction basis from the amount of total liabilities of the
bank which is the borrower in this transaction, while no deduction of liabilities
in line with that paragraph shall be performed with regard to the bank which is
the creditor in the transaction.
- For the purpose of calculating the basic annual contribution, the yearly
average amount of liabilities arising from derivative contracts set out in Annex
2 of this Decision, including off-balance sheet derivatives, shall be calculated
on a quarterly basis and valued in accordance with Sections 10 to 15 of this
Decision. Such calculated value of these liabilities may not be less than 75%
of the value of the same liabilities resulting from the application of international
financial reporting standards (IFRS).
For off-balance sheet derivatives, the replacement cost shall be the
sum of positive fair values of these derivatives added to the already calculated
on-balance sheet accounting values.
- The basic annual contribution shall exclude the accounting value of
liabilities arising from derivative contracts set out in Annex 2 to this Decision
and include the value determined in accordance with Section 7 of this Decision.
Exposure value of derivatives
- The bank shall determine the exposure value of the derivative contracts
listed in Annex 2 of this Decision, including those that are off-balance sheet, in
accordance with the mark-to-market method set out in Section 11 of this
Decision.
The terms relating to derivatives used in this Decision shall have the
meaning determined by the Law and the decision regulating capital adequacy
of banks.
When determining the exposure value referred to in paragraph 1 hereof,
banks may, in accordance with Section 11 of this Decision, take into account
4
the effects of contracts for novation and other netting agreements, except for
cross-product netting agreements. Additionally, the bank may take into account
the effects of netting within any single derivative category included in Annex 2
to this Decision when they are subject to a contractual cross-product netting
agreement.
The effects of reduction of the amount of liabilities in respect of
collateral related to derivative contracts shall not be recognised.
For the purpose of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 hereof,
banks may deduct from the current replacement cost portion of the exposure
value the variation margin paid in cash to the counterparty in so far as the
variation margin has not already been recognised as a reduction of the
exposure value and provided that the following conditions are met:
- for transactions not cleared through a qualified central counterparty,
the cash given to the recipient counterparty is not segregated;
- the variation margin is calculated and exchanged on a daily basis,
based on a mark-to-market valuation of derivative positions;
- the variation margin given in cash is in the same currency as the
currency of settlement of the derivative. Where the derivative is subject to a
standardised netting agreement, the currency of settlement means any
currency of settlement specified in the agreement;
- the variation margin is equal to or higher than the amount that would
be necessary to fully extinguish the mark-to-market exposure of the derivative
subject to the threshold and minimum transfer amounts applicable to the
contractual parties;
- the derivative contract and the variation margin between the bank
and the counterparty to that contract are covered by a single netting agreement
that the bank may treat as risk-reducing in accordance with Section 13 of this
Decision.
Where the variation margin is received in cash from the counterparty
and recognised as a current payable liability, the bank may exclude the margin
amount from the exposure measure provided that the conditions set out in
paragraph 5, items 1) to 5) hereof are met.
For the purposes of implementing paragraph 5 hereof, the following
shall apply:
- the deduction of variation margin paid shall be limited to the
negative current replacement cost portion of the exposure value;
- a bank shall not use variation margin paid in cash to reduce the
potential exposure amount, including the calculation referred to in Section 14,
paragraph 1, item 2), indent two of this Decision.
5
10. Notwithstanding Section 9, paragraph 1 of this Decision, the bank may
apply the original exposure method set out in Section 12 of this Decision to
determine the exposure value of derivatives listed in Annex 2 of this Decision,
provided that the total value of the bank’s derivative business does not exceed
either of the following two amounts:
- 5% of the value of total business of the bank;
- 100,000,000 euros in the dinar equivalent value at the official middle
exchange rate of the dinar.
For the purposes of the calculation referred to in paragraph 1 hereof,
the total value of the bank’s derivative business shall be calculated for each
month, on the final day of the month, in accordance with the following:
- derivative positions shall be valued at their market value on that day;
if the market value is not available, fair value shall be used, and if neither of
these values is available – the latest available market value shall be used;
- the absolute value of long positions shall be summed with the
absolute value of short derivative positions;
- the calculation shall include all derivative positions, other than credit
derivatives which, in accordance with the decision regulating capital adequacy,
are recognised as internal hedge against banking book credit risk exposure.
The bank shall notify the National Bank of Serbia of the failure to meet
the requirements and/or of exceeding the limit referred to in paragraph 1 hereof
without delay. If the bank fails to meet the requirements from this paragraph for
longer than three consecutive months and/or for longer than six months within
the past 12 months – it shall apply the mark-to-market method as of the next
accounting period.
The bank applying the original exposure method may not reduce the
amount of the exposure by the amount of the variation margin received in cash.
Mark-to-market method
- Where it applies the mark-to-market method, the bank shall determine
the exposure value of derivatives as the sum of the following values:
- the current replacement cost of liabilities arising from derivative
contracts at netting set level, which represents the absolute value of the net
market value of those contracts within the netting, gross of any collateral held
or posted where positive and negative market values are netted in computing
the net market value (for that purpose, banks shall treat an individual derivative
6
transaction as its own netting set);
2) the potential exposure (in the period of residual maturity of a
contractual liability), obtained by multiplying the notional amount of principal of
each derivative contract on the calculation date by the appropriate conversion
factor set out in table below (Table 1):
Table 1

5 years 1.5% 7.5% 10% 8% 15%
For derivative contracts which do not fall within one of the five
categories set out in Table 1, bank shall apply the conversion factors applied
to contracts concerning commodities other than precious metals, in
accordance with their residual maturity.
For derivative contracts with multiple cash flows, the bank shall multiply
the conversion factors set out in Table 1 by the number of remaining payments
still to be made in accordance with the contract.
For derivative contracts that are structured to settle outstanding
exposure following specified payment dates and where the terms are reset so
that the market value of the derivative contract is zero on those specified dates,
the residual maturity shall be equal to the time until the next payment and/or
reset date. In the case of interest-rate contracts that have a remaining maturity
of over one year, the bank shall apply the conversion factor no lower than 0.5%,
regardless of the time until the next reset of contract terms.
Original exposure method
- If it applies the original exposure method, the bank shall determine the
exposure value for each individual contract by multiplying the notional amount
of principal of that contract by the appropriate percentage set out in table below
(Table 2):
Table 2
Original maturity Interest-rate contracts

rates and gold

1 ≤ 2 years 1.0% 5.0%
Additional allowance for
each additional year 1.0% 3.0%
Banks may, when calculating the exposure value of interest-rate
contracts, use either the original or residual maturity.
Recognition of contractual netting as risk-reducing
- Banks may use as risk-reducing in accordance with Section 14 of this
Decision only the following types of contractual netting agreements with the
counterparty (hereinafter: netting agreement):
- contracts of novation between a bank and its counterparty under
which mutual claims and obligations are offset and a new contractual
relationship is established which replaces all formed contracts between parties
relating to these claims and obligations;
- other bilateral netting agreements between a bank and its
counterparty.
- Banks shall recognise the effects of contractual netting as follows:
- in the case of contracts for novation, banks may:
– weigh the single net amounts fixed by the contracts rather than
the gross amounts involved,
– if the mark-to-market method is applied, take into account all
these contracts when determining the current replacement cost referred to in
Section 11, paragraph 1, item 1) of this Decision and the notional principal
amounts or underlying values referred to in item 2) of that paragraph and
paragraphs 2 and 4 of that Section,
– if the original exposure method is applied, take into account all
these contracts when determining the notional amount referred to in Section
12, paragraph 1 of this Decision, in which case banks shall apply the
percentages set out in Table 2 to the notional principal amounts;
- in the case of other netting agreements, banks shall apply the markto-market method as follows:
– banks shall calculate the current replacement cost referred to in
Section 11, paragraph 1, item 1) of this Decision for the contracts included in a
netting agreement by taking account of the hypothetical net market value which
results from these agreements; in the case where netting leads to a net
receivable for the bank calculating the net market value – the current
replacement cost shall be zero;
– the potential exposure value referred to in Section 11,
paragraph 1, item 2) of this Decision for all contracts included in a netting
agreement shall be reduced in accordance with the following formula:
PCEred = 0,4 × PCEgross + 0,6 × NGR × PCEgross,
8
where:
PCEred = the reduced figure for potential exposure for all contracts with a given
counterparty included in a legally valid bilateral netting agreement;
PCEgross = the sum of the figures for potential exposure for all transactions with
a given counterparty which are included in a legally valid bilateral netting
agreement and are calculated by multiplying their notional principal amounts
by the percentages set out in Table 1;
NGR (net-to-gross ratio) = the net-to-gross ratio calculated as the quotient of
the net replacement cost and the gross replacement cost for all contracts
included in a legally valid bilateral netting agreement.
When calculating the potential exposure in accordance with the formula
set out in paragraph 1, item 2), indent two hereof, banks may treat perfectly
matching derivative contracts (forward foreign-exchange contracts or similar
contracts in which a notional principal is equivalent to cash flows if the cash
flows fall due on the same value date and are fully in the same currency)
included in the netting agreement as if those contracts were a single contract
with a notional principal equivalent to the net receipts.
When applying the original exposure method, banks may treat perfectly
matching derivative contracts referred to in paragraph 2 hereof as if those
contracts were a single contract with a notional principal equivalent to the net
receipts, and the notional principal amounts shall be multiplied by the
percentages laid down in Table 2.
For all other derivative contracts included in a netting agreement, banks
may apply the percentages set out in the table below:
Table 3
Original maturity Interest-rate contracts Foreign exchange
contracts
≤ 1 year 0.35% 1.50%
1 ≤ 2 years 0.75% 3.75%
Additional allowance for
each additional year 0.75% 2.25%
In the case of interest-rate contracts, banks may choose either residual
or original maturity.
Risk pillars and indicators
- The National Bank of Serbia shall assess the risk profile of the bank for
the purpose of determining the amount of the regular annual contribution on
the basis of the following risk pillars:
9
- risk exposure;
- stability of sources of funding;
- importance of a bank to financial stability;
- additional risk indicators to be determined by the National Bank of
Serbia.
- The ’Risk exposure’ pillar shall consist of the following risk indicators:
- own funds and eligible liabilities held by the bank in excess of the
minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL);
- leverage ratio;
- Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio;
- total risk exposure divided by total assets.
The ’Stability of sources of funding’ pillar shall consist of the following
risk indicators:
- net stable funding ratio;
- liquidity coverage ratio.
The ’Importance of a bank to financial stability’ pillar shall consist of the
indicator ’Share of the bank in total interbank loans and deposits in the Republic
of Serbia’.
The ‘Additional risk indicators to be determined by the National Bank
of Serbia’ pillar shall consist of at least the following indicators:
- trading activities, off-balance sheet exposures, derivatives,
complexity and resolvability;
- extent of previous extraordinary financial support.
When determining the additional risk indicators referred to in paragraph
4 hereof, the National Bank of Serbia shall take into account the importance of
those indicators in the light of the probability that the bank concerned would
enter resolution and of the consequent probability of making use of the Fund’s
assets in case the bank is resolved.
- When determining the indicators ‘Trading activities, off-balance sheet
exposures, derivatives, complexity and resolvability’ referred to in Section 16,
paragraph 4, item 1) of this Decision, the National Bank of Serbia shall take
into account the following elements:
- the increase in the risk profile of the bank due to:
– the importance of trading activities relative to the balance sheet
10
size, the level of own funds, the riskiness of the exposures, and the business
model,
– the importance of the off-balance sheet exposures relative to the
balance sheet size, the level of own funds, and the riskiness of the exposures,
– the importance of the amount of derivatives relative to the
balance sheet size, the level of own funds, the riskiness of the exposures, and
the business model,
– the extent to which the business model and organisational
structure of a bank are deemed complex;
2) the decrease in the risk profile of the bank due to:
– relative amount of derivatives which are cleared through a
central counterparty,
– the extent to which a bank can be resolved promptly and without
operational and legal impediments.
For the purposes of implementation of Section 16, paragraph 4, item 1)
of this Decision, the following shall be used:
- the share of the trading portfolio in total assets;
- the share of off-balance sheet exposures in total assets;
- the share of derivative business in total assets;
- the share of gross NPLs in total loans;
- the share of net NPLs in core capital;
- return on assets (after tax).
- The risk indicator referred to in Section 16, paragraph 4, item 2) of this
Decision shall be determined as:
- the maximum value of the range determined in accordance with
Section 3 of Annex 1 to this Decision for any bank that is part of a group that
has been put under restructuring after receiving any state aid or equivalent
funds such as from the Fund’s assets and is still within the restructuring or
winding down period, except for the past two years of implementation of the
restructuring plan;
- minimum value of the range determined in accordance with Section
3 of Annex 1 to this Decision – for other banks.
Relative weight of each risk pillar and indicator
- When assessing the risk profile of each bank, the following weights
shall be applied to the risk pillars:
- 50% – for risk exposure;
- 20% – for stability of sources of funding;
11
3) 10% – for importance of a bank to financial stability;
4) 20% – for additional risk indicators.
20. The relative weight of the risk indicators within the ‘Risk exposure’ pillar
shall be the following:
- 25% – own funds and eligible liabilities held by the bank in excess
of MREL;
- 25% – leverage ratio;
- 25% – Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio:
- 25% – total risk exposure divided by total assets.
- The relative weight of the risk indicators within the ’Stability of sources
of funding’ pillar shall be the following:
- 50% – net stable funding ratio;
- 50% – liquidity coverage ratio.
- The relative weight of the risk indicator ’Share of the bank in interbank
loans and deposits in the Republic of Serbia’ within the ’Importance of a bank
to financial stability’ pillar shall be 100%.
- The relative weight of each indicator within the ’Additional risk indicators
to be determined by the National Bank of Serbia’ shall be the following:
- 22.5% – share of the trading portfolio in total assets;
- 22.5% – share of off-balance sheet exposures in total assets;
- 22.5% – share of the derivative business in total assets;
- 7.5% – share of gross NPLs in total loans;
- 7.5% – share of net NPLs in core capital,
- 7.5% – return on assets (after tax);
- 10% – extent of previous extraordinary financial support.
Risk adjusting multiplier
- The National Bank of Serbia shall determine the additional risk
adjusting multiplier for each bank by combining the risk indicators referred to in
Sections 16 and 17 of this Decision, in accordance with the methodology set
out in Annex 1 to this Decision.
The regular annual contribution for each bank shall be determined by
multiplying the basic annual contribution by the additional risk adjusting
multiplier, in accordance with the methodology set out in Annex 1 to this
Decision.
12
The risk adjusting multiplier from paragraph 1 hereof shall range
between 0.8 and 1.5.
Regular annual contributions of small banks
25. A bank whose basic annual contribution is lower than or equal to
300,000,000 euros before the exclusion of the liabilities referred to in Section
6, paragraph 1 of this Decision, and whose total assets are lower than
1,000,000,000 euros in the dinar equivalent value at the official middle
exchange rate of the dinar as at the reporting date referred to in Section 34 of
this Decision, shall be considered to be a small bank for the purpose of
calculating regular annual contributions.
Notwithstanding Section 24 of this Decision, a fixed amount of the
regular annual contribution shall be determined for a small bank, in proportion
to its size and/or based on its basic annual contribution and total assets, in
accordance with the following table:
Table 4
Basic annual contribution (in
EUR)
Total assets (in EUR)
Fixed contribution (in
EUR)
≤ 50,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 1,000
50,000,000 ≤ 100,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 2,000
100,000,000 ≤ 150,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 7,000
150,000,000 ≤ 200,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 15,000
200,000,000 ≤ 250,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 26,000
250,000,000 ≤ 300,000,000 < 1,000,000,000 50,000
Notwithstanding paragraph 2 hereof, the National Bank of Serbia may
determine the regular annual contribution for a small bank by applying the
calculation referred to in Section 24 of this Decision at the bank’s request and
if it establishes that the fixed contribution amount determined in accordance
with paragraph 2 hereof is higher than the amount of the contribution calculated
in accordance with Section 24 of this Decision.
- Notwithstanding Section 25 of this Decision, the National Bank of
Serbia may determine the regular annual contribution for a small bank by
applying the calculation referred to in Section 24 of this Decision if it establishes
that the bank’s risk profile is disproportionate to its size, taking into account the
following criteria:
- the business model of the bank;
- the data and information submitted by the bank pursuant to Section
36 of this Decision;
- the risk pillars and indicators in accordance with Sections 15 to 18
13
of this Decision;
4) the assessment of the bank’s risk profile.
27. If the basic annual contribution is lower than or equal to 300,000,000
euros only after the exclusion of the liabilities referred to in Section 6,
paragraph 1 of this Decision, the manner of calculation set out in Section 25 of
this Decision shall not be applied.
28. Notwithstanding Sections 25 to 27 of this Decision, where a bank’s
basic annual contribution is higher than 300,000,000 euros and its total assets
are lower than or equal to 3,000,000,000 euros, the National Bank of Serbia
may determine such bank’s regular annual contribution in the following way:
- for the first 300,000,000 euros of the basic annual contribution, the
first contribution portion is determined in the fixed amount of 50,000 euros;
- for the residual part of the basic annual contribution in excess of
300,000,000 euros, the second contribution portion is calculated in accordance
with Section 24 of this Decision.
New bank or change of status
- Where a new bank has been established during the calendar year, the
partial regular annual contribution for that year shall be determined and
calculated together with the regular annual contribution for the subsequent
calendar year by reference to the number of full months in which the bank
operated in the calendar year when it was established.
- For the purposes of calculation of the annual contribution, a change of
status or category of a bank during the current year shall not have an effect on
the regular annual contribution to be paid in that year.
III. PROCEDURE FOR COLLECTING ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND
REPORTING OBLIGATION FOR BANKS
Decision on determining the annual contributions
- The National Bank of Serbia shall submit to each bank a decision
determining the regular annual contribution due by each bank for the current
calendar year, at the latest by 1 May of the current year.
- The bank shall pay the regular annual contribution referred to in Section
31 of this Decision at the latest by 30 June of the current year.
The statutory default interest rate shall be charged on the outstanding
amount of the regular annual contribution of a bank.
14
33. For a new bank established during the calendar year, its partial regular
annual contribution for the year in which it is established shall be collected
together with the regular annual contribution for the subsequent calendar year.
Reporting obligation for banks
34. Banks shall provide the reports containing information necessary for
calculating the regular annual contribution to the National Bank of Serbia once
a year, as at 31 December of the prior year – at the latest by 31 January of the
current year.
A small bank which does not apply the calculation referred to in Section
25, paragraph 3 of this Decision shall not be required to submit the report
containing the information necessary for adjustment of the contribution to the
bank’s risk profile on Form RPB set out in Annex 3 to this Decision.
The forms of the reports referred to in paragraph 1 hereof are set out in
Annex 3 to this Decision.
35. Where a bank fails to submit the reports in accordance with Section 34
of this Decision within the prescribed timeframe, the National Bank of Serbia
shall use its own assessments or assumptions for calculating the annual
contribution of such bank.
In the event referred to in paragraph 1 hereof, the National Bank of
Serbia may assign the maximum risk adjusting multiplier referred to in Section
24 of this Decision to a bank.
The National Bank of Serbia may apply measures in accordance with
the Law in respect of a bank which failed to timely provide the reports or which
failed to provide reports containing accurate or complete data.
36. If the information from the reports provided in accordance with Section
34 of this Decision need to be changed after the audit of financial statements
of the bank or for other justified reasons, the bank shall submit such revised
data to the National Bank of Serbia without delay.
In the event referred to in paragraph 1 hereof, when calculating the
regular annual contribution for the next year, the National Bank of Serbia shall
adjust such contribution for the amount of the difference between the initially
determined regular annual contribution and the regular annual contribution of
the bank which would have been determined based on the changed
information referred to in that paragraph.
15
37. The provisions of Sections 31 to 36 shall accordingly apply to the
collection of extraordinary contributions and the reporting thereon.
