Funding and liquidity risk
Definition
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity, although solvent, cannot maintain or generate
sufficient cash resources to meet its payment obligations in full as they fall due, or can only do so
at materially disadvantageous terms.
Approach to managing liquidity risk
The nature of the company's banking and trading activities gives
rise to continuous exposure to liquidity risk. Liquidity risk may
arise where counterparties, who provide the company with
short-term funding, withdraw or do not roll over that funding, or
normally liquid assets become illiquid as a result of a generalised
disruption in asset markets.
The company manages liquidity in accordance with applicable
regulations and within the company's risk appetite framework.
The company's liquidity risk management governance framework
supports the measurement and management of liquidity across
both the corporate and retail sectors to ensure that payment
obligations can be met by the company's legal entities, under
both normal and stressed conditions. Liquidity risk management
ensures that the company has the appropriate amount,
diversification and tenor of funding and liquidity to support its
asset base at all times. The company manages liquidity risk as
three interrelated pillars, which are aligned to the Basel III
liquidity requirements.
We maintain a prudent approach to liquidity management in
accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Appropriate
liquidity buffers were held in excess of the minimum prudential
liquid asset requirements as prescribed by the regulator.
Proactive liquidity management in line with group liquidity
standards ensured that, despite volatile and constrained liquidity
environments at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, adequate
liquidity was maintained to fully support balance sheet strategies.
This has been achieved through continuous engagements
between treasury and capital management, risk and business
units in which the liquidity risk with respect to on- and off-
balance sheet positions was carefully monitored. At the same
time consideration has been provided to the adequacy of
contingent funding, ensuring sufficiency to accommodate
unexpected liquidity demands. The group continues to leverage
the extensive deposit franchises across the portfolio to ensure
that it has the appropriate amount, tenor and diversification of
funding to support its current and forecast asset base while
minimising cost of funding.
The company manages its liquidity through an internal
behavioural profiling of its portfolios. Through this mechanism,
the company continuously ensure that it has sufficient
marketable assets available in its portfolio to meet the outflow
demand in both business as usual as well as stress
circumstances.
Structural liquidity risk management
Structural requirements
With actual cash flows typically varying significantly from the
contractual position, behavioural profiling is applied to assets,
liabilities and off-balance sheet commitments with an
indeterminable maturity or drawdown period, as well as to
certain liquid assets. Behavioural profiling assigns probable
maturities based on historical customer behaviour. This is used
to identify significant additional sources of structural liquidity in
the form of liquid assets and core deposits, such as current and
savings accounts, which exhibit stable behaviour despite being
repayable on demand or at short notice.
Structural liquidity mismatch analyses are performed regularly to
anticipate the mismatch between payment profiles of balance
sheet items, in order to highlight potential risks within the
company's defined liquidity risk thresholds. Limits are set
internally to restrict the cumulative liquidity mismatch between
expected inflows and outflows of funds in different time buckets.
These mismatches are monitored on a regular basis with active
management intervention if potential limit breaches are
evidenced. The behaviourally adjusted cumulative liquidity
mismatch remains within the company's liquidity risk appetite. In
order to ensure ongoing compliance with statutory and internal
risk management guidelines, certain short-term assets are
profiled as long dated.View entire presentation
