51 Regulatory Developments Covered Bond legislation, bank capital and mortgage risk weights 51 Source:

52 Regulatory developments Mortgage risk weights New Risk weighting for residential mortgage lending is effectively increased to ca. 25% for banks in general (in Pillar 1, i.e. basis for equity capital coverage) However, banks subject to the Norwegian banking regulator s (Finanstilsynet) minimum risk assets floor, such as SpareBank 1 Boligkreditt, have effective risk weights of ca. 40% The RWA floor is defined as a minimum whole-balance sheet RWA which is not allow to be reduced below 80% of what RWA would have been under the previous Basel I rules 31. March Finanstilsynet proposed minimum leverage ratio of 6% for banks, 3% for residential covered bond issuers 52

53 Regulatory developments Equity in nordic banks Norwegian banks are subject to a risk-weight floor: RWA can not be lower than 80% of the RWA according to Basel I Because of these higher risk weights, reported capital ratios are generally lower for Norwegian banks Equity as a share of assets is on the other hand generally higher for Norwegian banks A key reason for this is lower risk weights for residential mortgages for non-norwegian banks 53

56 Norwegian legal covered bond framework Specialist banking principle Only specialised institutions whose articles of association comply with prescribed mandatory requirements may issue covered bonds LTV limits Assets Matching Requirement Special Supervision 75% for residential mortgages 60% for commercial mortgages The cover pool may consist of mortgaged real estate assets, public sector loans and substitute assets (max 20% of cover pool, 30% with NFSA approval) Value of the cover pool shall at all times exceed the value of the covered bonds with a preferential claim on the pool. NPV principle applied to all assets and liabilities. Supervised by the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway (NFSA) NFSA appoints an independent inspector who regularly (at least every three months) supervises the matching requirement of the cover pool and the cover pool registry the Inspector submits annual reports of observations and assessments to the NFSA Over Collateralisation Voluntary OC is part of the pool and is bankruptcy remote Liquidity Requirement Cash flow from the cover pool shall at all times suffice to cover payments on the covered bonds and payments to counterparties under related derivatives agreements. A liquidity reserve needs to be established which shall be included in the Cover Pool Currency risk The credit institution must establish reasonable and conservative limits. SB1B fully hedges currency risk Interest rate risk Issuer Insolvency Interest rate risk must be analysed (rate curve shifts and twists). SB1B hedges interest rate risk on its bonds to 3 month NIBOR If timely payments can no longer be ensured, a halt to all payments is introduced. All covered bond investors have preferential pari passu claim, must be consulted on material points. An insolvent issuer is placed under public administration (i.e. Norwegian Treasury) tasked with preserving the value of the cover pool, maintain law & regulations. Covered bond investors must be informed about any material decisions. Primary aim is creditor (CB Investor) protection 56
