ІІІ. Structure and Elements of the Capital Base 1. Overview The reports prepared by the Bank for supervisory purposes are drafted under the requirements of Ordinance 8 issued by BNB stipulating the requirements for capital adequacy in compliance with Basel ІІ regulations. The standardized approach is employed in relation to credit and market risk. The operational risk measurement is implemented through the basic page 2 of 8
indicator method. The reports drafted and presented to the Central Bank under Ordinance 8 contain the sum of risk weighted assets by individual risk types, the capital base size, the capital adequacy coefficients. 2. Capital Base Elements The calculated equity capital (capital base) for regulatory purposes is analyzed regularly in terms of size, type and allocation of the necessary capital for the covering of risks to which the Bank is exposed. (Thousand BGN) Equity capital (capital base) 234 390 Tier-one capital 158 655 Tier-two capital 75 735 The equity of CIBANK, in compliance with the requirements of Ordinance 8, is formed as a sum of tier-one capital and tier-two capital. The decrease of regulatory capital matches the intangible assets, the allocated specific provisions and the investments in shares in non-consolidated companies, which account for over 10 per cent of their capital. The allocated capital by risk types is the following: Risk type Thousand BGN Share Credit risk 140 923 88.61% Operational risk 18 119 11.39% FX Risk 0 0.00% ІV. Capital requirements Ordinance 8 of BNB determines minimum requirements for the adequacy of the capital as follows: overall capital adequacy not less than 12 per cent, tier-one capital adequacy not less than 6 per cent. However BNB requires banks to maintain tier-one capital adequacy ratio of 10%. page 3 of 8
As at 31.12.3013 CIBANK fulfills these requirements as follows: Capital requirements for credit, counterparty credit, dilution risks and free deliveries, after the multiplication under Art.7 (thousand BGN) Central governments and central banks 0 Regional governments and local authorities 1 621 Institutions 8 815 Corporates 48 291 Retail 34 934 Secured by real estate property 16 758 Past-due items 22 424 Other items 8 079 Total capital requirements for credit, counterparty credit, dilution risks and free deliveries, after the multiplication under Art.7 140 923 Total capital requirements for position, foreign exchange and commodity risks, after the multiplication under Art.7 Total capital requirements for operational risk, after the multiplication under Art.7 Other capital requirements of BNB, after the multiplication under Art.7 Total capital requirements, after the multiplication under Art.7 0 18 119 0 159 041 Surplus (+) / shortfall (-) of equity 75 348 Overall capital adequacy ratio (%) 17.69% Tier-one capital adequacy ratio (%) 11.97% V. Exposure to counterparty credit risk CIBANK employs the market valuation method to determine the counterparty risk. This risk arises in transactions with derivative instruments, repo transactions, transactions for provision or receipt as a loan of securities and others, specified in the regulations. The Bank has developed a system of limits for local and foreign institutions in view of the restriction of the undertaken risk. The closed repo transactions are secured with securities issued by the Bulgarian government. The same are assessed on the basis of their fair (market) price, which always exceeds the extended funds. page 4 of 8
VІ. Exposures to credit and dilution risks As per the definitions in Ordinance 8 of BNB, the Bank uses the Standardized Approach for the calculation of risk weighed assets for credit risk. Exposure class On-balance sheet value Off-balance sheet value Total Share (%) Central governments and central banks Regional governments and local authorities (thousand BGN) 290 188 0 290 188 13.8% 13 934 2 114 16 048 0.8% Multilateral development 18 570 0 18 570 0.9% banks Institutions 185 810 18 062 203 872 9.7% Corporates 362 512 99 414 461 926 22.0% Retail 367 845 55 472 423 317 20.2% Secured by real estate 215 161 678 215 839 10.3% property Past-due items 364 374 0 364 374 17.4% Other items 104 877 0 104 877 5.0% Total 1 923 271 175 740 2 099 011 100.0% On the basis of Ordinance 9 of BNB on the evaluation and classification of risk exposures of banks and the allocation of specific provisions for credit risk, the Bank has developed and implements a policy for assessment of risk exposures. An internal committee decides on the monitoring, valuation, classification and fixing of specific credit exposures. According to the internal policy, risk exposures are classified into two main groups standard with two sub-groups regular and watch, and problematic with three sub-groups special monitoring, non-performing and loss. The receivables with up to 30 days delay are subject to stricter control and analysis by the specialized structural units of the Bank. Exposures are monitored and analyzed in detail by geographical distribution, sector, contractor type, and maturity structure. page 5 of 8
VІІ. Information on the nominated External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs) and Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) in applying the Standardised Approach for credit risk The credit quality of exposures is determined by reference to the credit assessments of the following rating agencies: Standard&Poor s, Moody s and Fitch Ratings. When there are two different assessments of recognized External Credit Assessment Institutions, the higher weight is applied. For the purposes of the calculation of capital requirements, the credit assessments of the ECAIs are compared to the approved by BNB and the supervisory bodies degrees of credit quality for determination of risk weights. VІІІ. Internal Ratings Based Approach information on exposures, distributed by categories and risk weights During this reporting year the Bank did not use the Internal Ratings Based Approach for weighing credit risk and did not apply Art. 63 (7) and Art. 66 of Ordinance 8. The Bank is in the process of preparation for future use of the Internal Ratings Based Approach. In December 2010 a model for valuation of the probability of default, developed together with KBC Group, was approved. In 2011 the PD assessment model is applied for all SME and Corporate clients. In September 2013 the PD model was reviewed and updated. ІХ. Capital requirements for position risk and settlement risk in respect of the trading book business, and for foreign exchange and commodity risks for the full scope of activities The owned debt and capital instruments are reported in the non-trading portfolio and thus no capital requirements for market risk are calculated. As at 31.12.3013 CIBANK s portfolio of owned debt instruments is entirely comprised of government bonds. Due to a lack of applicable operations the bank does not allocate capital for settlement risk. As per Chapter 12 of Ordinance 8 of BNB on the capital adequacy of credit institutions, banks calculate capital requirement for foreign exchange risk when the total net open foreign exchange position exceeds 2% of the equity. As at December 2013 CIBANK s net open foreign exchange position does not surpass that limit, hence the Bank does not have a capital charge for foreign exchange risk. page 6 of 8
Х. Internal market risk models The market risk is the risk of losses, arising from change in the market conditions or parameters impacting the market conditions. In 2013 the Bank did not use internal models for market risk measurement and therefore did not allocate capital in accordance with Chapter 15 of Ordinance 8 of BNB. ХІ. Operational risk exposure Operational risk is defined as the probability of loss arising from inadequate or ill-functioning internal processes, people, systems and external events and includes legal risk. The Bank has developed and adopts Rules for the assessment of operational risk as part of the overall process of risk management. These rules shall be used until the receipt of an approval by BNB for the use of other existing methods. The Bank uses the Group s web-based database for the gathering of information and the accumulation of historical data and sufficient statistical orders for internal operational losses related to all domains of its activities and types of events. The activities related to operational risk management are within the responsibilities of a unit within the Risk Management Directorate. In November 2010, as a consultative body of the Management Board, a Local Risk and Capital Oversight Committee (LRCOC) was established, assuming the duties of the Bank s Operational Risk Committee. Within LRCOC s competences are the preparation and formal approval of an operational risk management framework, the choice of operational risk capital allocation method to be used and the subsequent reporting of operational risk, the implementation and functioning of the system for operational risk management, as well as output and status reporting. For calculation of the capital requirements for operational risk, the Bank uses the Basic Indicator Approach the gross income of the Bank for the last three reporting years, multiplied by 0.15. On the basis of Part 4 of Ordinance 8 of BNB Capital requirements for operational risk, taking into account the described income structure and technology of assessment, the Bank has allotted at the end of 2013 capital amounting to 18.12 mln.bgn after the additional requirements under article 7. page 7 of 8
ХІІ. Equities as part of the non-trading portfolio As at December 2013 the equities and corporate shares owned by the Bank form 0.09% of its total assets. These investments do not have a substantial impact on the activity and overall performance of the Bank. XIII. Interest risk in the bank portfolio The interest risk is the likelihood of losses due to a decrease in the gained net interest income formed by financial instruments and portfolios as a result of negative changes in the market interest rate conditions. The monitoring of interest risk is implemented through day-to-day monitoring of the forecast cash flows, analysis and strict monitoring of the trends and processes on the local market and the banking system, efficient disposal of free resources, active management of the processes regarding the attraction of resources, analysis of the structure of assets and liabilities by major breakdowns, or on an optimal detailed basis, types of contractors, currency types. ХІV. Securitization The Bank is not an initiator or sponsor of asset securitizing transactions, as defined in Chapter 7 of Ordinance 8 of BNB. ХV. Recognition for supervisory purposes of internal models and techniques for credit risk mitigation The Bank does not use internal models for credit risk assessment. ХVI. Policy and practices on remunerations The Bank has updated within the given time frame its remuneration policy as per the requirements of Ordinance 4 of BNB on the Requirements for Remunerations in Banks. page 8 of 8
