NATIONAL BANK OF GEORGIA SUPERVISORY PLAN - COVID-19 National Bank of Georgia In March 2020, NBG introduced an updated Supervisory Plan for the banking sector with immediate effect, aimed at alleviating the negative financial and economic challenges created by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The measures were mainly focused on capital adequacy and liquidity initiatives that allow banks to use existing regulatory capital buffers to support customers in the current financially stressed circumstances, to continue normal business activities as far as possible, and to support the economy through ongoing lending operations. Capital adequacy initiatives: Combined buffer the conservation buffer requirement of 2.5% of risk- weighted assets has been reduced to 0% indefinitely Pillar 2 requirements: Currency induced credit risk buffer (CICR) requirement reduced by 2/3rds indefinitely The phase-in of additional credit portfolio concentration risk buffer (HHI) and net GRAPE buffer requirements on CET1 and Tier 1 capital, planned at the end of March 2020, has been postponed indefinitely The possibility of fully or partially releasing the remaining requirements of Pillar 2 buffers (HHI, CICR, net GRAPE), if necessary, remains open During the period the banks are allowed to partially or fully use these buffers, they are restricted to make capital distribution in any form This supervisory relief frees up GEL 1.6 billion of capital, which can be used for absorbance of potential losses or funding the real economy with GEL 16 billion. The banking sector has capital buffer of GEL 4 billion above the minimum requirements, which can be fully released in case of necessity General loan loss provisioning relating to COVID-19: NBG requested the Georgian banks to create general provisions under the local accounting basis used for calculation of capital adequacy ratios in the first quarter of 2020. The specific quantum of the provision reflected the NBG's current expectation of estimated credit losses on the lending book of the banking system for the whole economic cycle, given current economic expectations. The NBG considers the banking system capital ratios to be sufficiently in excess of the expected minimum capital requirements, to be able to absorb this upfront general provision, whilst maintaining sufficiently comfortable buffers over the required minimum capital ratios Liquidity initiatives 7 Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirements (for local and foreign currency, as well as total requirement) may be revisited and reduced, if necessary. On 1 May 2020, NBG temporarily cancelled the 75% LCR requirement for local currency for a one-year period, or until further communicated by NBG Mandatory reserve requirements may be revisited and reduced, if necessary The eligibility criteria for repo-eligible securities has already been extended by NBG and may be revisited further, if necessary, to support GEL liquidity Other initiatives The deadline for submitting previously planned stress testing results to NBG was postponed until the end of May, 2020 NBG will not impose any monetary sanctions in case of breach of economic normatives and limits driven by external factors (e.g. reserves, exchange rate depreciation) NBG on-site audits, except for ongoing anti-money laundering reviews, postponed indefinitely All new regulatory changes and requirements postponed until September, 2020, or until further communicated by NBG. This does not apply to regulations with regard to open banking, XBRL reporting and resolution framework
