This Notice establishes Net Stable Funding Ratio requirements for financial holding companies with Singapore-incorporated bank subsidiaries, predominantly banking DFHCs, and internationally active designated financial holding companies or entities within D-SIB groups. It mandates a minimum all-currency NSFR of 100% for internationally active or D-SIB group entities with a Singapore ultimate parent, and 50% for all other covered FHCs. The regulation specifies consolidated calculation methodologies for available stable funding and required stable funding, including detailed ASF and RSF factor assignments for various capital, liability, and asset categories.
1 MAS NOTICE FHC-N652 29 June 2022 Last revised on 16 May 2024* NOTICE TO DESIGNATED FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANIES FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANIES ACT 2013 NET STABLE FUNDING RATIO (“NSFR”) Introduction 1 This Notice is issued pursuant to sections 38(2) and 60(1) of the Financial Holding Companies Act 2013 (“the Act”) and applies to all financial holding companies that – (a) have a subsidiary that is a bank incorporated in Singapore; (b) are predominantly banking DFHC; and (c) are internationally active designated financial holding companies or are entities within a group that is designated by the Authority as a domestic systemically important bank1 (“D-SIB”), (referred to in this Notice as “FHCs”). 2 The minimum all currency Net Stable Funding Ratio (“NSFR”) requirements that an FHC must maintain at all times is – (a) in the case of an FHC that is an internationally active designated financial holding company, or is an entity within a group that is designated by the Authority as a D-SIB and whose ultimate financial holding company is incorporated in Singapore, an all currency NSFR of at least 100%; and (b) in all other cases, an all currency NSFR of at least 50%. 3 Pursuant to section 38(2) of the Act, an FHC must comply with the NSFR requirements on a consolidated (“Group”) level, which consolidates the assets and liabilities of all its FHC group entities, other than those of the following FHC group entities, if any: 1 More information on the D-SIB framework can be found at https://www.mas.gov.sg/-/media/MAS/Newsand-Publications/Monographs-and-Information-Papers/Monograph--MAS-Framework-for-Impact-andRisk-Assessment.pdf.
2 (a) an insurance subsidiary; (b) any other entity, where such non-consolidation of assets and liabilities of the entity is expressly permitted under the Accounting Standards. To avoid doubt, the exemption for an entity that is a parent from presenting consolidated financial statements in paragraph 4(a) of Singapore Financial Reporting Standards 110 (“SFRS 110”) Consolidated Financial Statements does not apply to the FHC for the purposes of complying with this paragraph. 4 Pursuant to paragraph 3, and for the purposes of this Notice (other than paragraph 3), an FHC must deem – (a) all assets, liabilities, equity, transactions, exposures, operations or customers of an FHC group entity of the FHC to be that of the FHC (per the scope of consolidation in paragraph 3); and (b) all collateral held by an FHC group entity of the FHC to be collateral held by the FHC (per the scope of consolidation in paragraph 3). 5 Any approval granted by the Authority to an FHC group entity of an FHC under paragraphs 17 and 34 of MAS Notice 652 is treated as an approval granted by the Authority to the FHC in respect of that FHC group entity for the purposes of paragraphs 20 and 37 of this Notice respectively, each approval being a “deemed approval”. 6 A deemed approval – (a) shall lapse if the approval granted by the Authority to that FHC group entity under MAS Notice 652 lapses, is revoked, or is otherwise withdrawn; and (b) shall be suspended or otherwise does not apply for the duration that the approval granted by the Authority to that FHC group entity under MAS Notice 652 is suspended or otherwise does not apply. Definitions 7 In this Notice – “available stable funding” or “ASF” means the portion of capital and liabilities held by an FHC that is expected to be reliable over one year;
3 “bank” means – (a) any company which holds a valid licence under section 7 or 79 of the Banking Act; or (b) any entity established or incorporated in a foreign country or jurisdiction which is approved, licensed, registered or otherwise regulated by a bank regulatory agency of the foreign country or jurisdiction to carry on banking business under the laws of the foreign country or jurisdiction; “Banking Act” means the Banking Act 1970; “carrying value” means – (a) in the case of a liability or equity instrument, the amount at which the liability or equity instrument is recorded before the application of any regulatory deductions, filters or other adjustments, as determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards; or (b) in the case of an asset, the amount at which the asset is recorded, net of specific allowances, as determined in accordance with the Accounting Standards; “FHC” has the same meaning as in paragraph 1; “financial holding company” has the same meaning as in section 2(1) of the Act; “high quality liquid assets” or “HQLA” means any liquid asset listed in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition of “liquid assets” in section 34(11) of the Act or paragraph 51; “Level 1 HQLA” means any HQLA listed in paragraph (a) or (b) of the definition of “liquid assets” in section 34(11) of the Act or paragraph 51(a), (b), (c), (f), (g) or (m); “Level 2 HQLA” means any Level 2A HQLA or Level 2B HQLA; “Level 2A HQLA” means any HQLA listed in paragraph 51(d), (h) or (n); “Level 2B HQLA” means any HQLA listed in paragraph 51(e), (i), (j), (k), (l) or (n);
4 “net stable funding ratio” or “NSFR” means the amount of available stable funding relative to the amount of required stable funding in an FHC and is computed asfollows: NSFR = Available stable funding Required stable funding ; “non-performing loans” means loans that are more than 90 days past due; “performing loans” means loans that are not past due for more than 90 days; “related corporation” has the same meaning as in section 2(1) of the Act; “regulatory capital” means capital as set out in paragraphs 6.1.1 to 6.3.13 of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 6.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637; 2 [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] “required stable funding” or “RSF” is a function of the liquidity characteristics and residual maturities of the various assets held by an FHC, including its off-balance sheet (“OBS”) exposures; “subsidiary” has the same meaning as in section 2(1) of the Act. 8 The expressions used in this Notice, except where defined in this Notice or where the context otherwise requires, have the same meanings as in the Banking Act and in paragraphs 2 and 25 of MAS Notice FHC-N649. Calculation Methodology (A) ASF Calculation Methodology 9 The amount of ASF is calculated based on the broad characteristics of the relative stability of an FHC’s funding sources, including the contractual maturity of its liabilities and the differences in the propensity of different types of funding providers to withdraw their funding. An FHC must calculate its ASF by first assigning the carrying value of its capital and liabilities to one of the categories set out in paragraphs 10 to 223 and multiplying the carrying value with the assigned ASF factor. The total ASF is the sum of the weighted amounts. 2 [Deleted by MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 3 Table 1 in the Annex provides a summary of the categories and the assigned ASF factors.
5 10 An FHC must assign the following liabilities and capital instruments a 100% ASF factor: (a) the total amount of regulatory capital, before the application of capital deductions, excluding the proportion of Tier 2 instruments with residual maturity of less than one year; (b) the total amount of any capital instrument not included in sub-paragraph (a) that has an effective residual maturity of one year or more, but excluding any instruments with explicit or embedded options that, if exercised, would reduce the expected maturity to less than one year; (c) the total amount of secured and unsecured borrowings and liabilities (including term deposits) with effective residual maturities of one year or more. Cash flows falling below the one-year horizon but arising from liabilities with a final maturity more than one year do not qualify for the 100% ASF factor; (d) term deposits with residual maturities of more than one year that cannot be withdrawn early without paying a penalty that is materially greater than the loss of interest and are provided by retail and small business customers. 11 An FHC must assign the following liabilities a 95% ASF factor: (a) stable deposits that are demand deposits provided by retail and small business customers; (b) stable deposits that are term deposits with residual maturities of less than one year provided by retail and small business customers; (c) stable deposits that are term deposits with residual maturities of more than one year, can be withdrawn early without having to pay a penalty that is materially greater than the loss of interest and are provided by retail and small business customers. 12 An FHC must assign the following liabilities a 90% ASF factor: (a) less stable deposits that are demand deposits provided by retail and small business customers; (b) less stable deposits that are term deposits with residual maturities of less than one year provided by retail and small business customers; (c) less stable deposits that are term deposits with residual maturities of more than one year, can be withdrawn early without having to pay a penalty that is
6 materially greater than the loss of interest and are provided by retail and small business customers. 13 An FHC must assign the following liabilities a 50% ASF factor: (a) funding (secured and unsecured) with a residual maturity of less than one year provided by non-financial corporates; (b) operational deposits as determined in accordance with paragraph 14, for which an FHC has obtained the approval of the Authority pursuant to paragraph 62 of MAS Notice FHC-N649; (c) funding with residual maturity of less than one year from sovereigns, PSEs, and multilateral and national development banks; (d) other funding (secured and unsecured) not included in paragraphs 10 to 12 with residual maturity between 6 months to less than one year, including funding from central banks and financial institutions. 14 For the purposes of paragraph 13(b), an FHC must determine operational deposits as follows: (a) the FHC must ensure that operational deposits only include deposits from customers receiving qualifying clearing, custody and cash management services from the FHC (“qualifying operational deposits”); (b) the FHC must ensure that qualifying clearing, custody or cash management services meet the following criteria: (i) the customer is reliant on the FHC to perform these services as an independent third party intermediary in order to fulfil its normal banking activities over the next 30 days4 ; (ii) the FHC is providing these services under a legally binding agreement to customers; (iii) the customer may only terminate the agreement referred to in subparagraph (b)(ii) by giving prior notice of at least 30 days or paying 4 For example, this condition would not be met if the FHC is aware that the customer has adequate back-up arrangements.
7 significant switching costs5 if the operational deposits are withdrawn before 30 days; (c) the FHC must ensure that qualifying operational deposits generated from the qualifying clearing, custody and cash management services meet the following criteria: (i) the deposits are by-products of the underlying services provided by the FHC and not sought out in the wholesale market in the sole interest of offering interest income; (ii) the deposits are held in specifically designated accounts and priced without giving an economic incentive to the customer6 to leave any excess balances in these accounts. In the case that interest rates in a country or jurisdiction are close to zero, such accounts are likely to be non-interest bearing. 7 The FHC must not treat any excess balances that may be withdrawn while still leaving sufficient funds to fulfil the qualifying clearing, custody and cash management services as qualifying operational deposits; (d) the FHC must determine the methodology for identifying excess balances that are excluded from this category. The FHC must conduct the assessment based on the methodology at a sufficiently granular level to adequately assess the risk of withdrawal in an idiosyncratic stress. The FHC must ensure that the methodology takes into account relevant factors8 , and considers appropriate indicators9 to identify those customers that are not actively managing account balances efficiently; (e) the FHC must not treat any deposit arising out of correspondent banking or from the provision of prime brokerage services as qualifying operational deposits. 5 For example, those related to transaction, information technology, early termination or legal costs. 6 To avoid doubt, paying market interest rates for the deposits is not sufficient for the FHC to determine that the deposits are priced without giving an economic incentive to the customer. 7 The FHC should be particularly aware that during prolonged periods of low interest rates, excess balances could be significant. 8 For example, the likelihood that wholesale customers have above average balances in advance of specific payment needs. 9 For example, ratios of account balances to payment or settlement volumes or to assets under custody.
8 15 An FHC must assign the following liabilities a 0% ASF factor: (a) all other liabilities and equities not included in paragraphs 10 to 13, including other funding with residual maturity of less than 6 months from central banks and financial institutions, including banks within the same institutional network of cooperative banks; (b) other liabilities without a stated maturity10 . The only exceptions for liabilities without a stated maturity are the following and the FHC must assign such liabilities either a 100% ASF factor if the effective maturity is one year or more, or a 50% ASF factor if the effective maturity is between 6 months and less than one year: (i) first, deferred tax liabilities, which should be treated according to the nearest possible date on which such liabilities could be realised; (ii) second, minority interest, which should be treated according to the term of the instrument, usually in perpetuity; (c) NSFR derivative liabilities net of NSFR derivative assets, if NSFR derivative liabilities are greater than NSFR derivative assets11, where NSFR derivative liabilities are calculated in accordance with paragraphs 21 and 22 and NSFR derivative assets are calculated in accordance with paragraphs 41 to 43; and (d) trade date payables arising from purchases of financial instruments, foreign currencies and commodities that – (i) are expected to settle within the standard settlement cycle or period that is customary for the relevant exchange or type of transaction; or (ii) have failed to, but are still expected to settle. 16 To determine the maturity of an equity or liability instrument, an FHC must assume that investors will redeem a call option at the earliest possible date. 17 For funding with options exercisable at an FHC’s discretion, including options to extend the maturity date of its obligations, the FHC must take into account reputational factors that may limit its ability not to exercise the option.12 In particular, where the market 10 This may include short positions and open maturity positions. 11 ASF = 0% x MAX ((NSFR derivative liabilities – NSFR derivative assets), 0). 12 This refers to a case where the FHC may be subject to funding risk if it did not exercise an option on its own funding.
9 expects certain liabilities to be redeemed before their legal final maturity date, the FHC must assume such behaviour for the purposes of the NSFR and include these liabilities in the corresponding ASF category. 18 For long-dated liabilities, an FHC must treat only the portion of cash flows falling at or beyond the 6-month and one-year time horizons as having an effective residual maturity of 6 months or more and one year or more, respectively. 19 An FHC must treat unsecured precious metals liabilities in the same way as retail deposits and unsecured wholesale funding, with the appropriate ASF factors assigned in accordance with paragraphs 10 to 15. 20 An FHC that is a central institution or a specialised service provider of an institutional network of cooperative banks, may, with the Authority’s approval, assign an ASF factor of higher than 0% to the amount of deposits that members of the institutional network have placed with the FHC arising from statutory minimum deposit requirements or in the context of common task sharing and legal, statutory or contractual arrangements, so long as both the FHC that has received the deposits and the member of the institutional network that has placed the deposits participate in the same institutional network’s mutual protection scheme against illiquidity and insolvency of its members. Such deposits may be assigned an ASF factor up to the RSF factor assigned for the same deposits to the depositing bank, provided that such ASF factor does not exceed 85%. 21 An FHC must calculate derivative liabilities based on the replacement cost for derivative contracts (obtained by marking to market) where the contract has a negative value. When an eligible bilateral netting contract is in place that meets the conditions as set out in Annex 7G of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637, the FHC must take the replacement cost for the set of derivative exposures covered by the contract as the net replacement cost. The FHC may exclude, from its calculation, derivative transactions13 with central banks if such transactions – (a) arise from the central bank’s short-term monetary policy and liquidity operations; and (b) have a maturity of 6 months or less at inception. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 13 Such transactions include foreign exchange derivatives such as foreign exchange swaps.
10 22 In calculating NSFR derivative liabilities14 , an FHC must deduct collateral posted in the form of variation margin in connection with derivative contracts (regardless of the asset type) from the negative replacement cost amount. To the extent that the FHC’s accounting framework reflects on balance sheet, in connection with a derivative contract, an asset associated with collateral posted as variation margin that is deducted from the replacement cost amount for purposes of the NSFR, the FHC must not include that asset in the calculation of the FHC’s RSF to avoid any double-counting. (B) RSF Calculation Methodology 23 An FHC must calculate the amount of RSF based on the broad characteristics of the liquidity risk profile of the FHC’s assets and OBS exposures. 24 An FHC must calculate the amount of RSF by first assigning the carrying value of its assets to one of the categories set out in paragraphs 44 to 5815 and multiplying the carrying value with the assigned RSF factor. The total RSF is the sum of the weighted amounts added to the amount of OBS exposures multiplied by its assigned RSF factor. 25 The RSF factors assigned to various types of assets are intended to approximate the amount of a particular asset that would have to be funded, either because it will be rolled over, or because it could not be monetised through sale or used as collateral in a secured borrowing transaction over the course of one year without significant expense. 26 An FHC must allocate assets to the appropriate RSF factor based on their residual maturity or liquidity value. 27 An FHC must assume that investors would exercise any option to extend maturity when determining the maturity of an instrument. For assets with options exercisable at the FHC’s discretion, the FHC must take into account reputational factors that may limit the FHC’s ability not to exercise the option. 16 In particular, where the market expects certain assets to be extended in their maturity, the FHC must assume such behaviour for the purposes of the NSFR and include these assets in the corresponding RSF category. 28 For amortising loans and other principal repayment claims, an FHC must treat the portion that comes due within the one-year horizon in the less-than-one-year residual maturity category. 14 NSFR derivative liabilities = (derivative liabilities) – (total collateral posted as variation margin on derivative liabilities). 15 Table 2 in the Annex provides a summary of the categories and the assigned RSF factors. 16 This refers to a case where the FHC may be subject to funding risk if it did not exercise an option on its own assets.
11 29 An FHC must treat an unencumbered loan without a stated final maturity date, even where the borrower may repay the loan in full and without penalty charges at the next reset date, as having an effective residual maturity of more than one year and must assign either a 65%, 85% or 100% RSF factor to the unencumbered loan in accordance with paragraph 49, 50 or 54. 30 An FHC must treat unsecured precious metals assets that must be settled by cash settlement in the same way as loans to retail customers and wholesale customers with the appropriate RSF factors assigned in accordance with paragraphs 44 to 58. 31 An FHC must assign unsecured precious metals assets that must be settled by physical delivery or where contractual arrangements allow for both physical delivery and cash settlement, with an RSF factor in the following manner: (a) in the case where the assets are – (i) extended to, or placed with, a financial institution, and has a residual maturity of one year or more; (ii) encumbered for a period of one year or more; or (iii) non-performing, assigned a 100% RSF factor; (b) in all other cases, treated in the same way as physical traded commodities and assigned an 85% RSF factor in accordance with paragraph 50(d). [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 32 Despite paragraph 31, an FHC must treat an unsecured precious metals asset referred to in paragraph 31 in the same way as loans to retail customers and wholesale customers, with the appropriate RSF factors assigned in accordance with paragraphs 44 to 58, if the FHC has adopted the treatment set out in paragraph 138 of MAS Notice FHC-N649. 33 To determine its RSF, an FHC must – (a) include financial instruments, foreign currencies and commodities for which a purchase order has been executed; and (b) exclude financial instruments, foreign currencies and commodities for which a sales order has been executed,
12 even if such transactions have not been reflected in the balance sheet under a settlement-date accounting model, provided that – (c) such transactions are not reflected as derivatives or secured financing transactions in the FHC’s balance sheet; and (d) the effects of such transactions will be reflected in the FHC’s balance sheet when settled. 34 An FHC must assign encumbered assets17 on the balance sheet with an RSF factor in the following manner: (a) assets that are encumbered for one year or more must be assigned a 100% RSF factor18; (b) assets that are encumbered for a period of between 6 months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor lower than or equal to 50%, must be assigned a 50% RSF factor; (c) assets that are encumbered for between 6 months and less than one year that would, if unencumbered, receive an RSF factor higher than 50% must be assigned that higher RSF factor; (d) assets that have less than 6 months remaining in the encumbrance period must be assigned the same RSF factor as an equivalent asset that is unencumbered. 35 Subject to paragraph 37, an FHC may assign reduced RSF factors to the following assets in the case of exceptional central bank liquidity operations: (a) assets that are posted as collateral for exceptional central bank liquidity providing operations may be assigned the same RSF factor assigned to the equivalent asset that is unencumbered; (b) claims on central banks with a residual maturity of more than 6 months that arise from exceptional central bank liquidity absorbing operations may be assigned a 5% RSF factor. 17 Examples of encumbered assets include assets backing securities or covered bonds and assets pledged in securities financing transactions or collateral swaps. An asset pledged in a repo or secured transaction is considered encumbered for the term of the repo or secured transaction, even if the actual maturity of the collateral is shorter. 18 To avoid doubt, a 100% RSF factor applies to collateral pledged in a repo of secured transaction with a remaining maturity of one year or more, even if the collateral pledged matures in less than one year.
13 36 For the purposes of paragraph 35, exceptional central bank liquidity operations are non-standard, temporary operations conducted by a central bank in order to achieve its mandate in a period of market-wide financial stress or exceptional macroeconomic challenges. 37 An FHC must obtain the Authority’s approval before applying the treatment set out in paragraph 35 in the case of exceptional central bank liquidity operations conducted by a central bank other than the Authority. 38 For securities financing transactions, an FHC must in determining its assets – (a) exclude securities which it has borrowed in securities financing transactions19 where it does not have beneficial ownership; (b) include securities it haslent in securities financing transactions where it retains beneficial ownership; and (c) exclude securities it has received through collateral swaps if those securities do not appear on its balance sheets. 39 Where an FHC has encumbered securities in repos or other securities financing transactions, but has retained beneficial ownership, and those assets remain on the FHC’s balance sheet, the FHC must allocate such securities to the appropriate RSF category in the manner set out in paragraphs 44 to 58. 40 An FHC must calculate the amounts receivable and payable under securities financing transactions on a gross basis, except that in the case of securities financing transactions with a single counterparty that meet the netting conditions set out in paragraphs 2.40(a), 2.41 and 2.42 in Annex 4C of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 6.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637, the FHC may calculate the amounts receivable and payable under such securities financing transactions on a net basis. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 41 An FHC must calculate derivative assets based on the replacement cost for derivative contracts (obtained by marking to market) where the contract has a positive value. When an eligible bilateral netting contract is in place that meets the conditions as set out in Annex 7G of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637, the FHC must take the replacement cost for the set of derivative exposures covered by the contract as the net 19 These include reverse repos and collateral swaps.
14 replacement cost. The FHC may exclude, from its calculation, derivative transactions20 with central banks if such transactions – (a) arise from the central bank’s short-term monetary policy and liquidity operations; and (b) have a maturity of 6 months or less at inception. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 42 In calculating NSFR derivative assets 21 , an FHC must not offset the positive replacement cost amount with the collateral received in connection with derivative contracts regardless of whether or not netting is permitted under the FHC’s operative accounting or risk-based framework, unless the collateral is received in the form of cash variation margin and meets the conditions as set out in paragraphs 2.18 to 2.21 in Annex 4C of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 6.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 43 An FHC must not offset derivative assets with any remaining balance sheet liability associated with (a) variation margin received that does not meet the criteria as set out in paragraph 42 or (b) initial margin received, and must assign such balance sheet liabilities a 0% ASF factor. 44 An FHC must assign the following assets a 0% RSF factor: (a) coins and banknotes immediately available to meet obligations; (b) all central bank reserves (including required reserves and excess reserves), unless relevant supervisors or central bank have assigned RSF factors to these reserves; (c) all claims on central banks with residual maturities of less than 6 months; (d) trade date receivables arising from sales of financial instruments, foreign currencies and commodities that – (i) are expected to settle within the standard settlement cycle or period that is customary for the relevant exchange or type of transaction; or 20 Such transactions include foreign exchange derivatives such as foreign exchange swaps. 21 NSFR derivative assets = (derivative assets) – (cash collateral received as variation margin on derivative assets).
15 (ii) have failed to, but are still expected to, settle. 45 An FHC must assign a 5% RSF factor to unencumbered Level 1 HQLA, excluding assets receiving a 0% RSF factor as specified in paragraph 44. 46 An FHC must assign a 10% RSF factor to unencumbered loans to financial institutions with residual maturities of less than 6 months, where the loan is secured against Level 1 HQLA and where the FHC has the ability to freely rehypothecate the collateral received for the life of the loan. 47 An FHC must assign the following assets a 15% RSF factor: (a) unencumbered Level 2A HQLA; (b) all other unencumbered loans to financial institutions with residual maturities of less than 6 months not included in paragraph 46. 48 An FHC must assign the following assets a 50% RSF factor: (a) unencumbered Level 2B HQLA; (b) any HQLA that are encumbered for a period of between 6 months and less than one year; (c) all loans to financial institutions and central banks with residual maturity of between 6 months and less than one year; (d) deposits held at other financial institutions for operational purposes, as outlined in paragraph 14, that are subject to the 50% ASF factor in paragraph 13(b); (e) all other assets that are not HQLA and not included in paragraphs 44 to 47 that have a residual maturity of less than one year, including loans to non-financial corporates, loans to retail customers and small business customers, and loans to sovereigns and PSEs. 49 An FHC must assign the following assets a 65% RSF factor: (a) unencumbered residential mortgages with a residual maturity of one year or more that would qualify for a 35% or lower risk weight under paragraphs 7.3.91 and 7.3.92 of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637;
16 (b) other unencumbered loans not included in paragraphs 44 to 48, excluding loans to financial institutions, with a residual maturity of one year or more that would qualify for a 35% or lower risk weight under paragraphs 7.3.42 to 7.3.51, 7.3.67 to 7.3.79, 7.3.93, 7.3.94 and 7.3.98 of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 50 An FHC must assign the following assets an 85% RSF factor: (a) cash, securities or other assets posted as initial margin for derivative contracts22, and cash or other assets provided to contribute to the default fund of a central counterparty (“CCP”), regardless of whether those assets are onor off-balance sheet. Where securities or other assets posted as initial margin for derivative contracts would otherwise receive a higher RSF factor, the FHC must assign that higher factor for such securities or assets; (b) other unencumbered performing loans that do not qualify for a 35% or lower risk weight under paragraphs 7.3.42 to 7.3.51, and 7.3.67 to 7.3.106 of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637 and have residual maturities of one year or more, excluding loans to financial institutions; (c) unencumbered securities with a remaining maturity of one year or more and exchange-traded ordinary shares, that are not in default and do not qualify as HQLA; (d) physical traded commodities, including gold.

[MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 52 For the purposes of paragraph 51(e)(i)(A), (h)(iii)(A), (i)(iii)(A), (j)(iii)(A) and (k)(ii), in the event of split ratings, an FHC must determine the applicable rating in accordance with the method used in paragraph 7.3.30 of MAS Notice 637 as applied by paragraph 7.1 of MAS Notice FHC-N637. [MAS Notice FHC-N652 (Amendment) 2024] 53 Despite paragraph 51(e)(i)(A), (h)(iii)(A), (i)(iii)(A), (j)(iii)(A) and (k)(ii), an FHC may recognise local rating scales (rather than international ratings) of a recognised ECAI if the corporate debt securities or covered bonds are held by the FHC for local currency liquidity needs arising from its operations in that local country or jurisdiction. 28 To avoid doubt, this includes a branch of the subsidiary. 29 To avoid doubt, this includes a branch of the subsidiary.
24 54 An FHC must assign the following assets a 100% RSF factor: (a) all assets that are encumbered for a period of one year or more; (b) NSFR derivative assets net of NSFR derivative liabilities, if NSFR derivative assets are greater than NSFR derivative liabilities30, where NSFR derivative assets are calculated in accordance with paragraphs 41 to 43 and NSFR derivative liabilities are calculated in accordance with paragraphs 21 and 22; (c) non-maturity reverse repos, unless the FHC can demonstrate to the Authority that the non-maturity reverse repo would effectively mature in less than one year; (d) all other assets not included in paragraphs 44 to 50, including non-performing loans, loans to financial institutions with a residual maturity of one year or more, non-exchange-traded shares, fixed assets, items deducted from regulatory capital, retained interest, insurance assets, subsidiary interests and defaulted securities; (e) 5% of derivative liabilities (that is negative replacement cost amounts) as calculated according to paragraph 21 before deducting variation margin posted. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, for a derivative structured as “settled-to-market”, the FHC must calculate the replacement cost amount as if no settlement payments and receipts had been made to account for the changes in the value of a derivative transaction or a portfolio of derivative transactions. 55 For loans that are partially secured, an FHC must treat each of the secured and unsecured portions of a loan according to its characteristics and assign the corresponding RSF factor. If the FHC is unable to draw the distinction between the secured and unsecured part of the loan, the FHC must assign the higher RSF factor that is applicable to the whole loan. (C) Interdependent Assets and Liabilities 56 An FHC may assign interdependent assets and liabilities31 a 0% RSF or ASF factor if they meet the following criteria: (a) the individual interdependent asset and liability items must be clearly identifiable; 30 RSF = 100% x MAX ((NSFR derivative assets – NSFR derivative liabilities), 0). 31 To avoid doubt, derivative transactions do not qualify for the treatment in paragraph 56.
25 (b) the maturity and principal amount of both the liability and its interdependent asset are the same; (c) the FHC is acting solely as a pass-through unit to channel the funding provided by the interdependent liability into the corresponding interdependent asset; (d) the counterparties for each pair of interdependent liabilities and assets are not the same. (D) OBS Exposures 57 Many potential OBS liquidity exposures require little direct or immediate funding but can lead to significant liquidity drains over a longer time horizon. The NSFR framework assigns an RSF factor to various OBS activities in order to ensure that institutions hold stable funding for the portion of OBS exposures that may be expected to require funding within a one-year horizon. 58 Consistent with the liquidity coverage ratio framework, the NSFR framework identifies OBS exposure categories based broadly on whether the commitment is a credit or liquidity facility or some other contingent funding obligation. An FHC must assign to each OBS category, an OBS exposure in accordance with Table 3 in the Annex, and multiply the OBS exposure by its RSF factor. Frequency of Calculation and Reporting 59 An FHC must prepare the FHC Group level NSFR returns set out in Table 4 in the Annex as at the last day of each quarter, in accordance with the notes for completion. 60 An FHC must submit to the Authority the NSFR returns not later than 30 days after the last day of each quarter. 61 Despite paragraph 60, if the day on which an FHC has to submit any return is not a business day, the FHC may submit the return on the next business day. Effective Date 62 This Notice takes effect on 1 July 2022.
