2 BASEL ROADMAP BASICS

3 BASEL IMPLEMENTATION VS. BASEL COMPLIANCE 3 In order for an instittion to sccessflly meet BCBS and regional SBV Basel reglations, two components are necessary: Sccessfl implementation and governance of a Basel Program; and An ongoing accrate and comprehensive compliance self-assessment against Basel reqirements. An instittion s approach to manage a Basel Program is an inpt into the compliance self-assessment. Governance Governance Approvals Resorces Monitor Identify Measres of Sccess Testing Deliverables Report Assessment Project Implementation Compliance Assessment

19 ICAAP RISKS THAT NEED TO BE ASSESSED 19

20 RISK APPETITE FRAMEWORK 20 The Enterprise Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) sets ot the Bank s overall approach to risk appetite and provides a common nderstanding among stakeholders of how risk appetite is established, managed and governed. It spports the establishment and ongoing effectiveness of the Bank s Risk Appetite Statement (RAS), associated metrics and limits, and sets ot the roles and responsibilities in the governance process. The RAS articlates the aggregate level and types of risk the Bank is willing to assme, or to avoid, in prsit of its strategy and bsiness objectives and sets the basic goals and measrement metrics, which defines tolerance levels for varios risks. As shown in the diagram below, a risk appetite is informed by the Bank s vision, mission, and vales as well as strategy and objectives; it also considers risk capacity and associated constraints. Risk appetite is articlated in the Bank s RAS which incldes qalitative and qantitative elements as well as limits to define the level of risks the Bank is willing to take on in prsing its strategic objectives for bsiness growth and shareholder retrn. The RAS spports a Enterprise Risk Management Framework which sets ot the Bank s approach to risk management, and is in trn spported by risk limits, policies, standards, procedres, processes and controls.

21 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND PLANNING 21 Basel II reqires Banks to take a nmber of factors into accont for capital planning: Capital adeqacy Impacts of planned capital activities on overall capital levels and bsiness mix Consistency of capital plans with strategic plans Consistency with the risk profile and crrent and prospective operating environment Risk / Retrn tradeoff Net income and its variability Forward looking stress tests and scenarios The bsiness cycle and potential adverse changes in market conditions

22 ENTERPRISE-WIDE STRESS TESTING 22 Basel II reqires Banks to condct stress testing to help assess capital adeqacy and risk appetite. Stress and scenario analysis are sefl in assessing economic downtrns and bsiness cycle impacts. Comprehensive stress testing shold be embedded into the risk management framework of the organization. A Board approved Stress Testing policy is necessary to ensre the reqired standards and procedres exist to satisfy reglatory reqirements nder Pillar II of the Basel II Revised Framework and help test the adeqacy of capital dring stressed bsiness conditions. This involves the se of varios techniqes to assess the potential vlnerability to stressed bsiness conditions. Key principles of the policy and for effective enterprise-wide stress testing inclde: Stress testing shold be integrated into the firms risk management framework inclding limits, risk appetite assessment and capital management/planning; Stress tests shold be plasible and measre the effect of extreme moves in risk factors; Comprehensive stress testing shold inclde mltivariate analysis, sensitivity and scenario based tests. Stress tests shold inclde scenarios that stress several factors at the same time becase in reality, when stress events occr they are more likely to involve adverse moves in several risk factors; Stress scenarios shold cover on- and off-balance sheet positions of all major portfolios in the trading book and the banking book. They shold also reflect specific risk characteristics of the portfolios. All related risk factors shold be identified and stressed; Comprehensive docmentation for scenario development, selection of risk factors, translation of scenarios into impacts on risk factors and parameters, and remedial actions when pre-established limits are exceeded; Stress testing shold be consistent with activities for Recovery and Resoltion planning.

23 ENTERPRISE-WIDE STRESS TESTING 23 While stress testing may be well developed, it is often done in isolation for specific risk types and portfolios. The challenge is integrating this on an enterprise-wide basis. Process: Economics to provide gidance on a handfl of variables (sch as GDP, inflation, nemployment rate, short term interest rates, stock market movement etc) for specific macro economic events (Recession, Pandemic, Inflation Escalation, etc.). Individal Work Streams to arrive at risk factor shocks relevant to their portfolios based on general direction from Economics. Work streams also to have their own portfolio specific scenarios and will develop procedres, processes and the technology infrastrctre to enable calclation of stress reslts. Stressed loss and capital calclations to target initially a one year time horizon in order to enable aggregation and comparison against capital. This time horizon will then be extended as experience develops in line with the risks in the portfolios. Consolidation of Stress testing reslts across the enterprise for analysis and reporting to Senior Management to take place on a best effort basis ntil systems allow for reglar and timely rns. Reslts prodced by each bsiness grop to inclde losses and changes reqired in Economic and Reglatory capital.

24 COMPLIANCE SELF ASSESSMENT

25 BLACKICE SOLUTION - GCD 25 The Governance & Compliance Database (GCD ) is an application that allows financial instittions to assess adherence to Minimm Reglatory Reqirements, gidance defined by the reglator or to reqirements specific to the instittion (e.g., internal expectations, policies, indstry best practices etc.). It facilitates the captre of compliance information to meet reglatory, Board and Senior management responsibilities inclding: Gap assessments; Compliance stats; Commentary evidence and spporting artifacts. The primary benefit for a reglator is that the GCD provides a view to an instittion s assessment, and provides a consistent approach to allow the comparison of assessments across mltiple instittions. The GCD also mitigates the risk and challenges often faced by reglators in completing their reglatory oversight.

26 INTERPLAY OF THE THREE BASEL PILLARS 26 While the three Pillars are independent they interact in the following ways: Pillar I calclations are tested by the ICAAP process in Pillar II for completeness and congrence of risks and capital. - Stress testing is an example of sch a Pillar II test. Pillar I will also provide a new feedback loop with Pillar II, for example based pon nexpected credit migrations relative to prior expectations. Feedback from pblic disclosre from Pillar III will inform Pillar II discssions as to conservatism and provide benchmarking opportnities that do not exist today. Varios forms will commnicate and allow an nderstanding of the impacts of these feedback loops inclding: The Risk Management Committee of the Board. The Senior Exective Team. Balance Sheet Measrement, Monitoring and Control, especially with respect to the capital planning process. A Models and Parameter Risk Committee.
