Financial Stability Through Risk Management

A clear understanding of risks surrounding the business activities is essential for any organisation to create sustainable stakeholder value through executing its strategies. It is therefore, essential to reinforce the overall strategy of an organisation with a prudent risk management strategy so that the opportunities could be optimised while minimising the effects of down-side risks. Banks which are responsible for the vital role of financial intermediation in the economy should be more committed to managing their risks in a prudent and transparent manner compared to a normal business organisation. Accordingly, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has formulated broad supervisory standards and guidelines to inculcate industry best practices across the banking institutions through ‘Basel Accords’ (Basel II, the second of the Basel Accords which has been extended by Basel III). While Basel Accord encourages convergence towards common approaches and standards, the ultimate purpose of these rules is to create financial stability and resilience in financial sector institutions.

Basel II Framework

The Basel II framework is built on three Pillars and the progress made by the Bank in achieving these standards are discussed below:

Pillar 1

Pillar 2

Pillar 3

Concept

Maintenance of minimum regulatory capital for credit risk, market risk and operational risk.

Supervisory review process to evaluate the activities and risk profile of the Bank to determine whether the Bank should hold higher level of capital than the minimum requirement in Pillar 1. This mechanism is commonly known as ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process).

Complements the minimum capital requirement and the supervisory review process (i.e., the first and the second pillars) by developing a set of disclosure requirements to facilitate market participants to assess the risk exposures of banks and way in which the risks are managed.

Progress Made by the Bank

Computation of capital adequacy as per regulatory requirements.

The Bank has implemented a comprehensive ICAAP framework since December, 2013 with the assistance of an overseas risk consultancy firm.

The Bank started providing a comprehensive set of risk management disclosures from 2012 in line with the regulatory requirements to enhance market discipline.

In addition to meeting the requirements stated in the Risk Management Framework prescribed by the regulator, the Bank has progressed well in implementing the International Best Practices of Risk Management by acquiring risk management software systems for Credit, Market and Operational risks.

Basel III and Beyond

In compliance with the regulatory requirements, the Bank has initiated establishing one of the standards prescribed under Basel III Framework - Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). Accordingly, Bank started submitting these reports since March 2015.

With the objective of achieving a more resilient banking system in the country, CBSL is to implement Basel III minimum capital requirements from July 01, 2017 with specified timelines to increase minimum capital ratios to be fully implemented by January 01, 2019.

In line with such directive, introduction of various capital buffers and strengthening of level of capital as well as avoidance of systemic risk is expected to be achieved. The Bank is gearing to embrace changes to be proposed in line with this and work towards providing a safe banking system to our stakeholders.
