The main movements in capital in the period were:

  • CET1 capital increased by \$2.0 billion as retained profits of \$3.3 billion, movement in FVOCI of \$0.2 billion, foreign currency translation impact of \$0.8 billion which were partly offset by share buy-backs of \$1.5 billion, distributions paid and foreseeable of \$0.6 billion, and an increase in regulatory deductions and other movements of \$0.2 billion.
  • AT1 capital remained constant as the issuance of \$1.0 billion of per cent securities is partly offset by the redemption of \$1.0 billion securities.
  • Tier 2 capital decreased by \$1.9 billion due to the redemption of \$2.2 billion of Tier 2 during the year partly offset by the reversal of regulatory amortisation and foreign currency translation impact.

The Group's current CET1 requirement is 10.5 per cent, comprising:

  • A minimum Pillar 1 CET1 requirement of 4.5 per cent
  • A Pillar 2A CET1 requirement of 2.1 per cent being 56 per cent of the total Pillar 2A requirement of 3.7 per cent
  • A capital conservation buffer of 2.5 per cent
  • A G-SII buffer of 1.0 per cent
  • A countercyclical capital buffer of 0.4 per cent

Total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) as defined in the final standards adopted by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and a new framework on minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) are intended to ensure that there is sufficient equity and specific types of liabilities to facilitate an orderly resolution that minimises any impact on financial stability and ensures the continuity of critical functions and avoids exposing taxpayers to loss. The framework is complemented with disclosure requirements., the disclosures are based on the formats provided in the Basel Committee Standards for Pillar 3 Phase 2 disclosures requirements.

The Group's MREL leverage requirement as at H1 2025 was equivalent to 28.1 per cent of RWA. This is composed of a minimum requirement of 24.3 per cent of RWA and the Group's combined buffer (comprising the capital conservation buffer, the G-SII buffer and the countercyclical buffer). The Group's MREL ratio was 33.3 per cent of RWA and 9.3 per cent of leverage exposure at H1 2025.

During the period, the Group successfully raised \$6.5 billion of MREL eligible securities from its holding company, Standard Chartered PLC. Issuance include \$1.0 billion of Additional Tier 1 and \$5.5 billion of callable senior debt.

Details of the Group's MREL eligible instruments are set out in the Standard Chartered PLC Main Features of Capital Instruments document available on the Group's website at https://www.sc.com/en/investors/credit-ratings-fixedincome/#capitalsecurities.

Table 6 shows details of the composition of the Groups MREL.

2.4 Countercyclical capital buffer

The Group's countercyclical capital buffer (CCyB) requirement is determined by applying various country-specific CCyB rates to the Group's qualifying credit exposures in the relevant country (based on the jurisdiction of the obligor) on a weighted average basis.

The Group's current CCyB requirement is 38 basis points, representing an increase of 1 basis point compared to 31 December 2024.

Countries are included in the table if the relevant own funds requirements of that country are greater than 1 per cent of the Group's total relevant own funds requirements for CCyB calculation.

2.5 Capital Requirements

Pillar 1 and Pillar 2A CET1 requirements and the Combined Buffer requirement together represent the Group's Maximum Distributable Amount threshold. The Group will be subject to restrictions on discretionary distributions if the CET1 ratio falls below this threshold. The Group expects to continue to operate with a prudent management buffer above this threshold.

Over time, the Group may also be subject to a PRA buffer. The PRA buffer is intended to ensure the Group remains well capitalised during periods of stress. When setting the Group's PRA buffer, it is understood that the PRA considers results from the Bank of England (BoE) stress test, the biennial exploratory scenario, and bank-specific scenarios undertaken as part of Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Processes (ICAAPs), as well as other relevant

information. The PRA buffer is additional to the existing CRD IV buffer requirements and is applied if and to the extent that the PRA considers the existing CRD IV buffers do not adequately address the Group risk profile. The PRA buffer is not disclosed.

The table below presents the Group's RWA and capital requirements (calculated as 8 per cent of RWA).

Further information on credit RWAs can be found in Table 31 for credit risk exposures under IRB (which include counterparty credit risk); Table 17 for the RWA flow statements for credit risk exposures under IRB (which includes securitisation balances below); Table 46 for exposures under the SA (which include amounts below the threshold for deduction) and section 4.2 for exposures subject to counterparty credit risk.

2.5 Capital Requirements continued

Table 16: Movement analysis for RWA

Total risk-weighted assets (RWA) of \$259.7 billion increased \$12.6 billion or 5 per cent in comparison to 31 December 2024:

  • Credit risk RWA increased by \$2.0 billion to \$191.3 billion. This was primarily driven by an increase of \$4.1 billion from asset growth and adverse credit migration, \$5.0 billion from currency translation, partly offset by a decrease of \$5.6 billion from optimisation actions and \$1.4 billion reduction from changes in models and methodology.
  • Operational risk RWA increased by \$3.1 billion to \$32.6 billion mainly due to an increase in average income as measured over a rolling three-year time horizon with higher 2024 income replacing lower 2021 income.
  • Market risk RWA increased by \$7.5 billion to \$35.8 billion as RWAs were deployed to help clients capture market opportunities.

Table 16 shows the significant drivers of credit risk, market risk and operational risk RWA movements from 31 December 2024.

2.6 Leverage ratio

UK banks are currently subject to a minimum leverage ratio of 3.25 per cent. In addition, a supplementary leverage ratio buffer is applicable, set at 35 per cent of the corresponding G-SII capital buffer and the countercyclical capital buffer.

At 30 June 2025, the Group's current minimum requirement inclusive of leverage buffers was 3.7 per cent:

  • (i) The minimum 3.25 per cent
  • (ii) A 0.35 per cent G-SII leverage ratio buffer and
  • (iii) A 0.1 per cent countercyclical capital leverage ratio buffer, based on half year 2025 countercyclical capital buffer rates

The Group's leverage ratio, which excludes qualifying claims on central banks, was 4.7 per cent at H1 2025, which was above the current minimum requirement of 3.7 per cent. The leverage ratio was 11 basis points lower than FY2024. Leverage exposure increased by \$64.9 billion from increase in Other Assets of \$78.6 billion, an increase in Derivatives including cash collateral of \$3.2billion, Off-balance sheet items of \$2.3 billion, securities financing transaction add-on of \$1.8 billion partly offset by increase in claims on central banks of \$19.2 billion, regulatory consolidation adjustments and unsettled regular way trades of \$1.0 billion, and increase in asset amounts deducted in determining Tier 1 capital (Leverage) of \$0.8 billion . Tier 1 capital increased by \$2.1 billion as CET1 capital increased by \$2.0 billion following profits for the period \$3.3 billion partly offset by announcement of share buyback \$1.5billion; and AT1 issuance of \$1.0 billion offset by call announcement of \$1.0 billion AT1 securities.

3.1 Credit risk quality

Credit risk EAD is based on the current outstanding exposure and accrued interest and fees, which are recognised in the Group's balance sheet in accordance with IFRS, plus a proportion of any undrawn facility. For standardised EAD, the proportion of any undrawn facility included is dependent on the facility type and tenor, and for IRB exposure classes this proportion is modelled.

Tables 24 to 30 depict past-due exposures, broken down by past-due bands and provide further information on non-performing and forborne exposures, as defined in the CRR, as well as by geography and industry.

3.2 Risk grade profile

Table 31 sets out credit and counterparty risk EAD within the IRB portfolios by regulatory exposure classes. EAD has been calculated after taking into account the impact of credit risk mitigation. Where an exposure is guaranteed or covered by credit derivatives, it is shown against the exposure class of the guarantor or derivative issuer. A further split of the major exposure classes by credit grade can be seen in Tables 32 to 43.

IRB credit risk excluding counterparty credit risk EAD increased by \$4.3 billion and RWA increased by \$0.2billion (Tables 32 to 43):

  • Central governments and central banks EAD decreased \$2.0 billion and RWA was flat
  • Institutions EAD decreased \$3.2 billion and RWA by \$1.1 billion
  • Corporates EAD increased \$4.13 billion and RWA by \$1.3 billion
  • Retail EAD increased \$5.2 billion and RWA decreased by \$0.1 billion

  1. Weighted averages are based on EAD

Table 44 sets out the slotting approach that is applied to financing of individual projects where the repayment is highly dependent on the performance of the underlying pool or collateral, known as specialised lending. It uses a standard set of rules for the calculation of RWAs, based upon an assessment of factors such as the financial strength of the counterparty. The requirements for the application of the Slotting approach are detailed in CRR article 153.

3.4 Standardised risk weight profile

External ratings, where available, are used to assign risk weights for standardised approach (SA) exposures. These external ratings must come from EU approved rating agencies, known as External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAI); which currently include Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch. The Group uses the ECAI ratings from these agencies in its day-to-day business, which are tracked and kept updated. Assessments provided by approved ECAI are mapped to credit quality steps as prescribed by the CRR.

The Group currently does not use assessments provided by export credit agencies for the purpose of evaluating RWA in the standardised approach.

The following tables set out EAD and EAD after CRM associated with each risk weight as prescribed in Part Three, Title II, Chapter 2 of the CRR, including credit and counterparty credit risk regulatory risk weights based on the exposure classes applied to unrated exposures.

Standardised EAD post CRM and post CCF increased by \$31.7 billion

  • Central governments or central banks increased by \$15.4 billion
  • Public sector entities decreased by \$8.4 billion
  • Multilateral development banks increased by \$4.6 billion
  • Retail decreased by \$2.7 billion

3.5 Securitisation

Securitisation is defined by the CRR as a transaction or scheme where the credit risk of an exposure or pool of exposures is tranched and where the payments arising from the transaction or scheme are dependent upon the performance of the underlying exposure(s) and where the subordination of tranches determine the distribution of losses during the ongoing life of the transaction or the scheme.

4. Traded risk

4.1 Market risk

Market risk is the potential for fair value loss due to adverse moves in financial markets. The Group's exposure to Market Risk arises predominantly from these sources:

  • Trading book:
    • The Group provides clients access to markets, facilitation of which entails the Group taking moderate Market Risk positions. All trading teams support client activity. There are no proprietary trading teams. Hence, income earned from Market Risk-related activities is primarily driven by the volume of client activity.
  • Non-trading book:
    • Treasury is required to hold a liquid assets buffer, much of which is held in high-quality marketable debt securities.
    • The Group underwrites and sells down loans, and invests in select investment grade debt securities with no trading intent
    • The Group has capital invested and related income streams denominated in currencies other than US dollars. To the extent that these are not hedged the Group is subject to Structural foreign Exchange Risk which is reflected in reserves.

The primary categories of market risk for the Group are:

  • Interest Rate Risk: arising from changes in yield curves and implied volatilities
  • Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: arising from changes in currency exchange rates and implied volatilities
  • Commodity Risk: arising from changes in commodity prices and implied volatilities
  • Credit Spread Risk: arising from changes in the price of debt instruments and credit-linked derivatives, driven by factors other than the level of risk-free interest rates.
  • Equity Risk: arising from changes in the prices of equities and implied volatilities

Market risk regulatory capital requirements

The CRR specifies minimum capital requirements against market risk in the trading book. Interest rate risk in the non-trading book is covered separately under the Pillar 2 framework.

The PRA has granted the Group permission to use the internal model approach (IMA) covering the majority of interest rate, foreign exchange, precious metals, base metals, energy and agriculture market risk in the trading book. Positions outside the IMA scope are assessed according to standard PRA rules.

The minimum regulatory market risk capital requirements for the trading book are presented below for the Group.

Backtesting

In H1 2025, there were no regulatory backtesting exceptions at Group level. In the one year period to 30 June 2025, there have been no Group level backtesting exceptions:

An enhancement to the VaR model was implemented from January 2025 to increase the model's responsiveness to abrupt upturns in market volatility.

The graphs below illustrate the performance of the VaR model used in the Group capital calculations. It compares the 99 percentile loss confidence level given by the VaR model with the Hypothetical profit and loss of each day given the actual market movement ignoring any intra-day trading activity.

Table 59: June 2025 Comparison of VaR estimates with gains/losses at Group level with hypothetical profit and loss (P&L) versus VaR (99 per cent, one day) (UK MR4)

Table 60: June 2025 Comparison of VaR estimates with gains/losses at Group level with actual profit and loss (P&L) versus VaR (99 per cent, one day) (UK MR4)

4.2 Counterparty credit risk

Counterparty credit risk (CCR) is the risk that the Group's counterparty in a foreign exchange, interest rate, commodity, equity or credit derivative or repo contract defaults prior to the maturity date of the contract and that the Group at the time has a claim on the counterparty. CCR arises predominantly in the trading book when hedging with external counterparties is required.

CCR is managed within the overall credit risk appetite for corporate and financial institutions. CCR limits are set for individual counterparties, including central clearing counterparties, and for specific portfolios. Individual limits are calibrated to the credit grade and business model of the counterparties and are set on Potential Future Exposure (PFE). Portfolio limits are set to contain concentration risk across multiple dimensions and are set on PFE or other relevant CCR measures.

The Group reduces its credit exposures to counterparties by entering into contractual netting agreements which result in a single amount owed by or to the counterparty. The amount is calculated by netting the mark-to-market (MTM) owed by the counterparty to the Group and the MTM owed by the Group to the counterparty on the transactions covered by the netting agreement. In line with the International Accounting Standard (IAS) 32 principles, the Group's balance sheet will present assets and liabilities on a net basis provided there is a legally enforceable right to set off assets and liabilities, and the Group intends to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and liability simultaneously.

Table 61 shows the credit exposure on derivative transactions after taking into account the benefits from legally enforceable netting agreements and collateral held, including transactions cleared through recognised trading exchanges.

6. Interest rate risk in the banking book

The Group defines Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book ('IRRBB') as the potential for loss of future earnings or economic value following adverse movements in interest rates, which arises from a mismatch in the re-pricing profile of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet items in the banking book.

Risk Control and Governance

Treasury is responsible for monitoring IRRBB through the Treasury Risk Type Framework, policies and Risk Appetite, subject to independent oversight and challenge from Risk and Internal Audit.

The Board delegates the management of IRRBB to the Group Asset & Liability Committee (GALCO), which provides oversight of Group-level IRRBB and works in conjunction with Country ALCOs to monitor IRRBB as per the Risk Type Framework. IRRBB is managed at a country level by the Country ALCO, chaired by the Country CFO.

IRRBB models and methodologies are defined for the Group by the Treasury function, independently validated and approved by the Risk function. Country modelling assumptions are derived locally using the Group's methodologies and are reviewed by Country ALCO.

The Group uses Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) to transfer re-pricing risk from the business to Treasury, including that arising from structural positions such as non-maturity deposit balances. For non-maturity deposits (NMDs), the assumed duration is dependent on the portion that can be considered stable and the degree to which these balances are considered price sensitive.

Certain structural balances have been approved by GALCO and Country ALCOs to be risk managed directly under the Group's structural hedging programme. Other re-pricing risks transferred to Treasury are managed on an integrated basis with a securities portfolio maintained for liquidity and investment management purposes. Basis risk (whether transferred to and managed by Treasury or remaining in the business) is reported and overseen at local ALCOs.

Re-pricing risk arising within Treasury is managed using a combination of on-balance sheet short and long tenor securities and derivative hedges. Derivative hedges are subject to Fair Value and Cash Flow Hedge accounting treatment where available. These interest rate risk positions and limits are independently monitored by the Risk function.

Key Risk Measures

The Group uses two key metrics for measuring IRRBB: Net Interest Income ('NII') Sensitivity, an income measure which quantifies the potential change in projected net interest income over a one-year horizon from defined movements in interest rates; and Economic Value of Equity ('EVE'), a value measure which estimates the potential change in the present value of the Group's Banking Book assets and liabilities from defined movements in interest rates. These measures differ in their coverage of the drivers of interest rate risk and the time horizon for these to materialise but used together they can provide a complementary and

rounded view of the Group's risk profile. Both NII Sensitivity and EVE are monitored monthly against defined Risk Appetite limits, which are set at the Group level and, where appropriate, at a country level in compliance with local regulatory requirements.

NII Sensitivity and EVE are indicative stress tests calculated under various interest rate scenarios, including parallel and non-parallel shifts and a range of internally designed scenarios that assess vulnerabilities in the Group's business model and key behavioural assumptions under interest rate shocks and stresses. These stress tests are supplemented by internal NII forecasts which are used for financial planning purposes.

Stress tests are performed monthly to identify structural risks to Net Interest Income or the Economic Value of the Banking Book under adverse but plausible interest rate scenarios. Additionally, stress testing of IRRBB is covered as part of ICAAP and BoE concurrent stress testing exercises (more information on stress testing can be found in 80). Stress testing of price risk on Fair Value instruments in the Banking Book is conducted by Traded Risk Management under the Traded Risk Framework.

Prescribed Regulatory Interest Rate Shock and Stress Scenarios

The following table shows the Group's NII sensitivity and EVE regulatory metrics under each of the interest rate shock scenarios prescribed by the PRA (Rule 9.4A of the PRA Rulebook: CRR Firms: Interest Rate Risk Arising from Non-Trading Activities Instrument 2020 and in accordance with EBA Article 448(1) CRR). The sensitivities are indicative and subject to standardised shocks and parametric assumptions that may differ to those used in the Group's own internal models; please see next section for more information.

The sensitivities should not be considered an income or profit forecast. Furthermore, the regulatory EVE results should not be considered a proxy for expected income or capital impacts on a going concern basis.

Key modelling and parametric assumptions Net Interest Income Sensitivity

For regulatory NII sensitivities, currency specific shocks are applied as follows:

• A parallel interest rate shock (up and down) to the current market-implied path of rates, across all yield curves, including +/- 200 bps immediate shock for USD and HKD; +/- 150 bps for SGD; +/- 250 bps for CNY and GBP; and +/- 300 bps for KRW.

The assessment assumes that the size and mix of the balance sheet remain constant and that there are no specific management actions in response to the change in rates. No assumptions are made in relation to the impact on credit spreads in a changing rate environment. Significant modelling and behavioural assumptions are made regarding scenario simplification, market competition, pass-through rates, asset and liability re-pricing tenors, and price flooring.

Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity

The regulatory EVE sensitivities have been calculated under six standardised interest rate shock scenarios for measuring EVE under the standard outlier test, defined by the PRA.

For EVE, commercial margins and other spread components have been included in the modelled cashflows. The sensitivity represents a hypothetical impact to capital assuming a complete balance sheet run-off, assuming no new business. Balances are adjusted for assumed behavioural profiles, primarily non-maturity deposits, which reflect quantitative and qualitative assessments of the expected stability, rate sensitivity and run off of client balances under varying interest rate conditions.

In line with regulatory guidelines:

  • all equity instruments that have no coupon or call dates have been excluded;
  • market interest rate floors start at -1.0% for the overnight tenor on the yield curve and increase by 5bps per year to 0.0% at the 20 year tenor point on the yield curve; and
  • the aggregate EVE sensitivity for each interest rate shock scenario is calculated by adding together the negative and positive changes to EVE occurring in each currency. Positive values are weighted by 50%, but the full impact of negative values is included.

As at 30 June 2025, the average repricing maturity assigned to Non-Maturity Deposits was 6 months and the longest repricing maturity was 60 months.

Table 75: Quantitative information on IRRBB (UK IRRBB1)

070 Maximum (2,651) (2,385) (1,505) (1,449)
080 Tier 1 capital 43,777 41,672

As at 30 June 2025, the maximum EVE decline was \$2,651 million under the parallel shock up. This does not represent the expected impact to capital. EVE sensitivity is driven by duration mismatches in the balance sheet. The magnitude of the result is largely due to the exclusion of equity, in line with regulatory guidelines, versus the inclusion of a structural hedge that is designed to stabilise the net interest income arising from the deployment of equity.

In addition, EVE sensitivity shows the theoretical reduction in the value of the structural hedge when rates rise but does not capture the benefit to future income that would result from rising interest rates as demonstrated by the NII Sensitivity.

Duration mismatches for the remainder of the balance sheet are largely immaterial, however, the sensitivity is amplified by large shocks to Emerging Markets currencies, and the impact of weighting positive values at the currency level by 50%. This 50% haircut on positive EVE values is also the main driver of asymmetry between EVE up and down shocks.

The most adverse impact to NII under the regulatory scenarios was a reduction of \$1,505 million under the parallel shock down. While the interest rate shocks used to compute the regulatory NII sensitivity are larger than the Group's NII sensitivities set out on pages 83 to 84 of the Half Year Report 2025.

have performed had it been applied in the past.
Basel II The capital adequacy framework issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in June
2006 in the form of the 'International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards'.
Basel III In December 2010, the BCBS issued the Basel III rules text, which were updated in June 2011, and
represents the details of strengthened global regulatory standards on bank capital adequacy and
liquidity. The new requirements have been fully implemented. In December 2017, the BCBS published
a document setting out the finalisation of the Basel III framework. The new requirements issued in
December 2017 will be implemented by 2023.
BCBS or Basel Committee
on Banking Supervision
A forum on banking supervisory matters which develops global supervisory standards for the banking
industry. Its members are officials from 45 central banks or prudential supervisors from 28 countries
and territories.
Basis point (bps) One hundredth of a per cent (0.01 per cent); 100 basis points is 1 per cent. Used in quoting movements
e.g. in interest rates or yields on securities.
Capital conservation buffer A capital buffer prescribed by regulators under Basel III and designed to ensure banks build up capital
buffers outside periods of stress which can be drawn down as losses are incurred. Should a bank's CET1
capital fall within the capital conservation buffer range, capital distributions will be constrained by the
regulators.
CRD or Capital
Requirements Directive
A capital adequacy legislative package adopted by the PRA. CRD comprises the Capital Requirements
Directive and the UK onshored Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). The package implements the
Basel III framework together with transitional arrangements for some of its requirements. CRD IV came
into force on 1 January 2014. The EU CRR II and CRD V amending the existing package came into force in
June 2019 with most changes starting to apply from 28 June 2021. Only those parts of the EU CRR II that
applied on or before 31 December 2020, when the UK was a member of the EU, have been implemented.
The PRA recently finalised the UK's version of the CRR II for implementation into the PRA Rulebook on
1 January 2022.

Common Equity Tier 1 capital consists of the common shares issued by the bank and related share
premium, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and other disclosed reserves,
eligible non-controlling interests and regulatory adjustments required in the calculation of Common
Equity Tier 1.
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio Common Equity Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.
Countercyclical capital
buffer (CCyB)
The countercyclical capital buffer is part of a set of macroprudential instruments, designed to help
counter pro-cyclicality in the financial system. CCyB as defined in the Basel III standard provides for an
additional capital requirement of up to 2.5 per cent of risk-weighted assets in a given jurisdiction. The
Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee has the power to set CCyB rate for the United Kingdom.
Each bank must calculate its 'institution-specific' CCyB rate, defined as the weighted average of the
CCyB rates in effect across the jurisdictions in which it has credit exposures. The institution-specific
CCyB rate is then applied to a bank's total risk weighted assets.
Counterparty credit risk (CCR) The risk that a counterparty defaults before satisfying its obligations under a derivative, a securities
financing transaction (SFT) or a similar contract.
Credit Conversion Factor
(CCF)
Either prescribed by CRR or modelled by the bank, an estimate of the amount the Group expects a
customer to have drawn further on a facility limit at the point of default.
Credit Default Swap (CDS) A derivative contract where a buyer pays a fee to a seller in return for receiving a payment in the
event of a credit event (for example bankruptcy, payment default on a reference asset or assets,
or downgrades by an rating agency) on an underlying obligation.
Credit quality step (CQS) Credit Quality Steps (CQS) are used to derive the risk-weight to be applied to exposures treated under
the Standardised approach to credit risk.
Credit risk Credit risk is the potential for loss due to the failure of a counterparty to meet its obligations to pay the
Group in accordance with agreed terms.
Credit risk mitigation (CRM) Credit risk mitigation is a process to mitigate potential credit losses from any given account, customer or
portfolio by using a range of tools such as collateral, netting agreements, credit insurance, credit
derivatives and guarantees.
Credit support annex (CSA) A legal document that regulates the exchange of collateral between the parties of OTC derivative
transactions.
Credit Valuation Adjustment
(CVA)
In the context of prudential requirements, additional regulatory capital charge that covers the risk
of mark-to-market losses associated with changes in the credit worthiness of counterparties to
derivative transactions.
Debit Valuation Adjustment
(DVA)
In the context of prudential requirements, adjustment required to Tier 1 capital to derecognise any
unrealised fair value gains and losses associated with fair valued liabilities that are attributable to the
market's perception of the Group's credit worthiness.
Domestic systemically
important banks (D-SIB)
Domestic systemically important banks are deemed systemically relevant for the domestic financial
system in which they operate. The FSB and the BCBS have developed a framework for identifying and
dealing with D-SIBs. The D-SIB framework has been implemented in the EU via CRD IV which refers to
D-SIBs as Other Systemically Important Institutions ('O-SIIs').
Equity price risk The financial risk involved in holding equity in a particular investment. Arises from changes in the prices
of equities, equity indices, equity baskets and implied volatilities on related options.
Expected Loss (EL) The Group measure of anticipated loss for exposures captured under an internal ratings based credit
risk approach for capital adequacy calculations. It is measured as the Group-modelled view of
anticipated loss based on Probability of Default (PD), Loss Given Default (LGD) and Exposure at
Default (EAD), with a one-year time horizon.
Exposure Credit exposures represent the amount lent to a customer, together with any undrawn commitment.
Exposure at default (EAD) The estimation of the extent to which the Group may be exposed to a customer or counterparty in the
event of, and at the time of, that counterparty's default. At default, the customer may not have drawn
the loan fully or may already have repaid some of the principal, so that exposure is typically less than the
approved loan limit.
External Credit Assessment
Institutions (ECAI)
For the Standardised Approach to credit risk for sovereigns, corporates and institutions, external ratings
are used to assign risk-weights. These external ratings must come from credit rating agencies that are
registered or certified in accordance with the credit rating agencies (CRA) regulation or from a central
bank issuing credit ratings which is exempt from the application this regulation.
Fair value The value of an asset or liability when it is transacted on an arm's length basis between knowledgeable
and willing parties.
Financial Policy Committee
(FPC)
The Financial Policy Committee is an independent committee at the Bank of England that has the
primary objective of identifying, monitoring and taking action to remove or reduce systemic risks with
a view to protecting and enhancing the resilience of the UK financial system. The FPC's secondary
objective is to support the economic policy of the Government.
Foreseeable dividends net
of scrip
Includes both ordinary and preference share dividends reasonably expected to be paid out of any
future residual interim or year-end profits. In the case of ordinary dividends, the amount of foreseeable
dividends deducted from the interim or year-end profits is equal to the amount of interim or year-end
profits multiplied by the dividend payout ratio. In the case of preference share dividends, the amount of
foreseeable dividends is equal to the amount accrued during the relevant reporting period payable at
a future date.
Foundation Internal Ratings
Based (FIRB) Approach
A method of calculating credit risk capital requirements using internal PD models but with supervisory
estimates of LGD and conversion factors for the calculation of EAD.

Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China and Taiwan.
Greater China & North Asia
(GCNA)
Greater China & North Asia (GCNA) includes China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Macau and Taiwan.
G-SIBs or Global Systemically
Important Banks
Global banking financial institutions whose size, complexity and systemic interconnectedness mean
that their distress or failure would cause significant disruption to the wider financial system and
economic activity. The list of G-SIBs is assessed under a framework established by the Financial Stability
Board (FSB) and the BCBS. In the UK, the G-SIB framework is implemented via the CRD and G-SIBs are
referred to as Global Systemically Important Institutions (G-SIIs).
G-SIB buffer A CET1 capital buffer which results from designation as a G-SIB. The G-SIB buffer is between 1 per cent
and 3.5 per cent, dependent on the allocation to one of five buckets based on the annual scoring. In the
EU, the G-SIB buffer is implemented via CRD IV as Global Systemically Important Institutions ('G-SII')
buffer requirement.
Haircut A haircut, or volatility adjustment, ensures the value of exposures and collateral are adjusted to account
for the volatility caused by foreign exchange or maturity mismatches, when the currency and maturity
of an exposure differ materially to the currency and maturity of the associated collateral.
Held-to-maturity Held-to-maturity assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and
fixed maturities that the Group's management has the intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Impaired loans Loans where individually identified impairment provisions have been raised. Also includes loans which
are collateralised or where indebtedness has already been written down to the expected realisable
value. The impaired loan category may include loans, which, while impaired, are still performing.
Individually assessed loan
impairment provisions (IIP)
Impairment is measured for assets that are individually significant to the Group. Typically assets within
the Corporate & Institutional Banking segment of the Group are assessed individually.

Risk-weighting methodology in accordance with the Basel Capital Accord where capital requirements
are based on a firm's own estimates of prudential parameters.
Items belonging to
regulatory high-risk
categories
In relation to the Standardised Approach to credit risk, items which attract a risk-weight of 150 per cent.
This includes exposures arising from venture capital business and certain positions in collective
investment schemes.
Leverage ratio A ratio that compares Tier 1 capital to total exposures, including certain exposures held off-balance
sheet as adjusted by stipulated credit conversion factors. Intended to be a simple, non-risk-based
backstop measure.
Liquidity Coverage
Ratio (LCR)
The ratio of the stock of high quality liquid assets to expected net cash outflows over the following 30
days. High quality liquid assets should be unencumbered, liquid in markets during a time of stress and,
ideally, be central bank eligible.
Loans and advances This represents lending made under bilateral agreements with customers entered into in the normal
course of business and is based on the legal form of the instrument.
Loss Given Default (LGD) The percentage of an exposure that a lender expects to lose in the event of obligor default.
Mark-to-market approach One of the approaches available to banks to calculate the exposure value associated with derivative
transactions. The approach calculates the current replacement cost of derivative contracts, by
determining the market value of the contract and considering any potential future exposure.
Market risk The potential for loss of earnings or economic value due to adverse changes in financial market rates
or prices.
Maturity The time from the reporting date to the contractual maturity date of an exposure, capped at five years.
Maturity is considered as part of the calculation of risk-weights for the Group's exposures treated under
the IRB approach to credit risk.

Model validation The process of assessing how well a model performs using a predefined set of criteria including the
discriminatory power of the model, the appropriateness of the inputs, and expert opinion.
MREL or minimum
requirement for own fund
and eligible liabilities
A requirement under the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive for EU resolution authorities to set
a minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities for banks, implementing the FSB's Total
Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) standard. MREL is intended to ensure there is sufficient equity and
specific types of liabilities to facilitate an orderly resolution that minimises any impact on financial
stability and ensures the continuity of critical functions and avoids exposing taxpayers to loss.
Multilateral Development
Banks (MDB)
An institution created by a group of countries to provide financing for the purpose of development.
Under the Standardised approach to credit risk, eligible multilateral development banks attract a zero
per cent risk-weight.
Net stable funding ratio
(NSFR)
The ratio of available stable funding to required stable funding over a one year time horizon, assuming
a stressed scenario. It is a longer-term liquidity measure designed to restrain the amount of wholesale
borrowing and encourage stable funding over a one year time horizon.
North East (NE) Asia North East (NE) Asia includes the Group's operation in the Republic of Korea and Japan.
Operational risk The potential for loss arising from the failure of people, process, or technology, or the impact of
external events.
Over-the-Counter (OTC)
traded products/OTC
derivatives
A bilateral transaction that is not exchange traded and is valued using valuation models.
Pillar 1 The first Pillar of the three pillars of Basel framework which provides the approach to the calculation
of the minimum capital requirements for credit, market and operational risk. Minimum capital
requirements are 8 per cent of the Group's risk-weighted assets.
Pillar 2 The second pillar of the three pillars of the Basel framework which requires banks to undertake a
comprehensive assessment of their risks that are not already covered by Pillar 1 and to determine
the appropriate amounts of capital to be held against these risks where other suitable mitigants are
not available.
Pillar 3 The third pillar of the three pillars of Basel framework which aims to provide a consistent and
comprehensive disclosure framework that enhances comparability between banks and further
promotes improvements in risk practices.
Point in time (PIT) Considers the economic conditions at the point in the economic cycle at which default occurs when
estimating the probability of default.
Portfolio Impairment
Provision (PIP)
The amount of loan impairment provisions assessed on the collective portfolio that are charged to the
income statement in the reporting period.
Potential Future Exposure
(PFE)
An estimate of the potential increase in exposure that may arise on a derivative contract prior to
default, used to derive the exposure amount.
Probability of Default (PD) PD is an internal estimate for each borrower grade of the likelihood that an obligor will default on an
obligation within 12 months.
Present Value 01 (PV01) This represents the change in present value of an asset or liability for a 1 basis point change in the
nominal yield curve.
Prudential Regulatory
Authority (PRA)

banks, building societies, credit unions, insurers and a small number of significant investment firms in the
UK. The PRA is a part of the Bank of England.
Prudent Valuation
Adjustment (PVA)
An adjustment to CET1 capital, to reflect the difference between the accounting fair value and the
regulatory prudent value of positions, where the application of prudence results in a lower absolute
carrying value than recognised in the financial statements.
Qualifying Central
Counterparty (QCCP)

established in a third-country) in accordance with the rules laid down in the European Market
Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR).
Qualifying Revolving Retail
Exposure (QRRE)
Retail IRB exposures that are revolving, unsecured, and, to the extent they are not drawn, immediately
and unconditionally cancellable, such as credit cards.
Regulatory capital Sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital after regulatory adjustments.
Regulatory or Prudential
consolidation
The regulatory consolidation of Standard Chartered PLC differs from the statutory consolidation in that
it only includes undertakings that are credit institutions, investment firms, other financial institutions, and
ancillary service undertakings. Subsidiaries continue to be fully consolidated, whilst participations in
undertakings that principally engage in these financial services activities are proportionally
consolidated. These participations are considered associates for statutory accounting purposes.
Insurance or corporate entities are excluded from the scope of prudential consolidation and recognised
on an equity accounted basis.
Repurchase agreement
(repo) / reverse repurchase
agreement (reverse repo)
A short term funding agreement which allows a borrower to sell a financial asset, such as ABS or
Government bonds as collateral for cash. As part of the agreement the borrower agrees to repurchase
the security at some later date, usually less than 30 days, repaying the proceeds of the loan. For the
party on the other end of the transaction (buying the security and agreeing to sell in the future) it is
a reverse repurchase agreement or reverse repo.
Residential Mortgage
Backed Securities (RMBS)
Securities that represent interests in a group of residential mortgages. Investors in these securities have
the right to cash received from future mortgage payments (interest and/or principal).
Residual maturity The remaining maturity of a facility from the reporting date until either the contractual maturity of the
facility or the effective maturity date.
Retail Internal Ratings Based
(Retail IRB) Approach
In accordance with the PRA handbook and CRR, the approach to calculating credit risk capital
requirements for eligible retail exposures.
Risk Appetite Risk Appetite is defined by the Group and approved by the Board. It is the maximum amount and type
of risk the Group is willing to assume in pursuit of its strategy.
Risk Capacity The maximum level of risk the Group can assume, given its current capabilities and resources, before
breaching constraints determined by capital and liquidity requirements and internal operational
capability (including but not limited to technical infrastructure, risk management capabilities, expertise),
or otherwise failing to meet the expectations of regulators and law enforcement agencies.
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) A measure of a bank's assets adjusted for their associated risks, expressed as a percentage of an
exposure value in accordance with the applicable Standardised or IRB approach provisions.
RWA density The risk-weighted asset as a percentage of exposure at default (EAD).
Scrip dividends Dividends paid to existing shareholders in securities instead of cash payment.
Securities Financing
Transactions (SFT)
Securities Financing Transactions are secured (i.e. collateralised) transactions that involve the temporary
exchange of cash against securities, or securities against other securities, e.g. stock lending or stock
borrowing or the lending or borrowing of other financial instruments, a repurchase or reverse repurchase
transaction, or a buy-sell back or sell-buy back transaction.
Securitisation Securitisation is a process by which credit exposures are aggregated into a pool, which is used to back
new securities. Under traditional securitisation transactions, assets are sold to a special purpose entity
(SPE) who then issues new securities to investors at different level of seniority (credit tranching). This
allows the credit quality of the assets to be separated from the credit rating of the originating institution
and transfers risk to external investors in a way that meets their risk appetite. Under synthetic
securitisation transactions, the transfer of risk is achieved by the use of credit derivatives or guarantees,
and the exposures being securitized remain exposures of the originating institution.
Securitisation position(s) The positions assumed by the Group following the purchase of securities issued by Asset-Backed
Securitisation programmes or those retained following the origination of a securitisation programme.
Specialised lending Specialised lending exposures are defined as an exposure to an entity which was created specifically
to finance and/or operate physical assets, where the contractual arrangements given the lender a
substantial degree of control over the assets and the income that they generate and the primary source
of repayment of the obligation is the income generated by the assets being financed, rather than the
independent capacity of a broader commercial enterprise.
Special Purpose Entities (SPEs) SPEs are entities that are created to accomplish a narrow and well defined objective. There are often
specific restrictions or limits around their ongoing activities. Transactions with SPEs take a number of
forms, including: the provision of financing to fund asset purchases, or commitments to provide
financing for future purchases; derivative transactions to provide investors in the SPE with a specified
exposure; the provision of liquidity or backstop facilities which may be drawn upon if the SPE experiences
future funding difficulties; and direct investment in the notes or equity issued by SPEs.
Standardised Approach (SA) In relation to credit risk, a method for calculating credit risk capital requirements using External Credit
Assessment Institutions (ECAI) ratings and supervisory risk-weights. In relation to operational risk, a
method of calculating the operational risk capital requirement by the application of a supervisory
defined percentage charge to the gross income of eight specified business lines.
Stressed Value at Risk (SVAR) A regulatory market risk measure based on potential market movements for a continuous one-year
period of stress for a trading portfolio.
Through the cycle (TTC) Reduces the volatility in the estimation of the probability of default by considering the average
conditions over the economic cycle at the point of default, versus the point in time (PIT) approach,
which considers economic conditions at the point of the economic cycle at which default occurs.
Tier 1 capital Tier 1 capital comprises Common Equity Tier 1 capital plus Additional Tier 1 securities and related share
premium accounts.
Tier 1 capital ratio Tier 1 capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets.
Tier 2 capital Tier 2 capital comprises qualifying subordinated liabilities and related share premium accounts.
Total Loss Absorbing
Capacity (TLAC)
An international standard for TLAC issued by the FSB, which requires G-SIBs to have sufficient loss
absorbing and recapitalisation capacity available in resolution, to minimise impacts on financial
stability, maintain the continuity of critical functions and avoid exposing public funds to loss.
Total Return Swap (TRS) A derivative transaction that swaps the total return on a financial instrument, including cash flows and
capital gains or losses, for an interest rate return.
Trading book The trading book consists of all positions in CRD financial instrument and commodities which are fair
valued through the profit and loss account for accounting purposes, which are held either with trading
intent or in order to hedge other elements of the trading book and which are either free of any restrictive
covenants on their tradability or ability to be hedged.
Value at Risk (VAR) A quantitative measure of market risk estimating the potential loss that will not be exceeded in a set
time period at a set statistical confidence level.
Write downs After an advance has been identified as impaired and is subject to an impairment allowance, the stage
may be reached whereby it is concluded that there is no realistic prospect of further recovery. Write
downs will occur when and to the extent that, the whole or part of a debt is considered irrecoverable.
Wrong way risk Wrong way risk occurs when an exposure increase is coupled with a decrease in the credit quality of
the obligor.
