1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose and basis of preparation

The Pillar 3 Disclosures comprise detailed information on the underlying drivers of risk-weighted assets (RWA), capital, leverage and liquidity ratios as at 30 June 2020 in accordance with the European Union's (EU) Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA) Rulebook.

The disclosures have been prepared in line with the disclosure templates introduced by the European Banking Authority's (EBA) guidelines on disclosure requirements (EBA/GL/2016/11) published in December 2016.

The Group is also disclosing some of the templates contained within the EBA's Guidelines on reporting and disclosure of exposures subject to measures applied in response to the COVID-19 crisis (EBA/GL/2020/07) published on 2 June 2020. Annex 1 provides a summary of these disclosures.

This report presents the Pillar 3 Disclosures of Standard Chartered PLC (the Group) as at 30 June 2020 and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Half Year Report 2020.

The information presented in this Pillar 3 report is not required to be, and has not been, subjected to external audit.

1.2 Highlights

  • The Group's capital and leverage position is managed within the Board-approved risk appetite. The Group is well capitalised with low leverage and high levels of loss-absorbing capacity
  • The Group is well capitalised with an end point Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 14.3 per cent that is well ahead of the minimum requirement of 10.0 per cent
  • The Group is not highly leveraged and its leverage ratio of 5.2 per cent is well ahead of the 2020 minimum requirement of 3.6 per cent
  • The Group continues to manage its balance sheet proactively, with a particular focus on the efficient management of RWA

1.3 Verification

While the 30 June 2020 Pillar 3 Disclosures are not required to be externally audited, the document has been verified internally in accordance with the Group's policies on disclosure and its financial reporting and governance processes. Controls comparable to those for the Group's Half Year Report have been applied to confirm compliance with PRA regulations.

Items excluded on the grounds of materiality are quantitative disclosures of specialised lending exposures where the simple risk-weight approach is used, non-deducted participations in insurance undertakings, composition of collateral for exposures to derivatives and securities financing transactions, off-balance sheet collateral received, effect on the RWAs of credit derivatives used as CRM techniques, and collateral obtained by taking possession and execution processes.

In relation to the approach to Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book risk management, and the risk management of other risk types, there have been no material changes compared to the information disclosed within the Group's Pillar 3 Disclosures 2019. Please refer to the following sections in our Pillar 3 Disclosures 2019 for further detail:

  • Credit risk: Section 3 on pages 27 to 28
  • Traded risk: Section 4 on pages 77 to 78
  • Interest rate risk in the banking book: Section 5 on page 93

1.4 Accounting and regulatory consolidation

The Pillar 3 Disclosures are prepared at the Group consolidated level. The accounting policy for financial consolidation is provided in the notes to the Group's Half Year Report 2020. All banking subsidiaries are fully consolidated for both regulatory and accounting purposes. For associates and joint ventures, the regulatory treatment may differ from the accounting policy, which applies the equity accounting method.

The regulatory consolidation approach used by the Group is consistent with the information disclosed within the Group's Pillar 3 Disclosures 2019 Regulatory Consolidation: Table 3: Regulatory Consolidation on page 5 with the exception of PT Bank Permata Tbk which was sold during Q2 2020.

1 Includes a Pillar 2A CET1 requirement of around 1.9 per cent being 56 per cent of the total Pillar 2A requirement. The Group's current Pillar 2A requirement has been set as a nominal value, at half year 2020 this represented is 3.3 per cent of RWA. This requirement will vary over time with RWA. Potential future offset to Pillar 2A requirements from changes to the countercyclical buffer in PS15/20 are not considered here

2 LCR ratio represents a rolling 12-month average LCR. The spot LCR as at 30 June 2020 was 149.1 per cent

Standard Chartered applies the transitional arrangements to accounting provisions recognised after 1 January 2018 under IFRS 9, as permitted by Regulation (EU) 2017/2395 and amended by Regulation (EU) 2020/873 of the European Parliament and of the Council in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under this approach, the balance of expected credit loss (ECL) provisions in excess of the regulatory defined expected loss (EL) and additional ECL on standardised portfolios, net of related tax, are phased into the CET1 capital base over five years. For the balance incurred up to 31 December 2019, the proportion phased in at each reporting period is 2020, 30 per cent; 2021, 50 per cent; and 2022, 75 per cent. From 2023 onwards there is no transitional relief. For any increase in the balance after 1 January 2020 there is full relief in 2020 and 2021, followed by a proportionate phasein at each reporting period of 2022, 25 per cent; 2023, 50 per cent; and 2024, 75 per cent. From 2025 onwards there is no transitional relief.

The application of the transitional relief results in a negligible effect on the CET1 ratio as the capital impact of ECL on the standardised portfolio, net of tax, has been largely offset. As there is no capital impact from additional provisions on advanced IRB portfolios, the related deferred tax asset continues to be recognised in full in CET1.

2.1 Capital management

The Group's capital and leverage positions are managed within the Board-approved risk appetite. The Group is well capitalised with low leverage and high levels of loss-absorbing capacity.

2.2 Capital resources

All capital instruments included in the capital base meet the requirements set out in the CRR for their respective tier of capital, except for those that are subject to a grandfathering period. Grandfathered capital instruments will be fully phased out of their respective tier of capital by 1 January 2022.

Table 3 below summarises the consolidated capital position of the Group.

4 The risk-weighted assets are not subject to audit

The main movements in capital in the period were:

• The CET1 ratio increased from 13.8 per cent to 14.3 per cent as profits, distribution restrictions and the sale of Permata offset the COVID-19 related increase in RWA

• CET1 capital increased by \$1.1 billion, as retained profits of \$1 billion and the reduction in dividends paid and foreseen of \$0.5 billion, was offset by foreign exchange of \$0.5 billion and the partly completed share buy-back of \$0.2 billion

  • AT1 decreased to \$5.6 billion as the call of \$2 billion of existing 6.5 per cent AT1 securities and the ongoing derecognition of legacy Tier 1 capital was partly offset by the issuance of \$1 billion of new 6.0 per cent AT1 securities, increasing the efficiency of the Group's AT1 stock
  • Tier 2 capital was \$0.9 billion higher at \$13.2 billion as EUR 1 billion of new issuance and the recognition of ineligible AT1 was partly offset by redemptions

2.3 Minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities

From 1 January 2019, a requirement for total loss-absorbing capacity (TLAC) was introduced, as defined in the final standards adopted by the Financial Stability Board (FSB). In the EU, TLAC requirements were implemented by the Capital Requirements Regulation II (CRR II) which was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 7 June 2019 and came into effect on 27 June 2019. It included a new framework on the minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL).

MREL is 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 new framework is complemented with new disclosure requirements. As the specific EU format for disclosure is yet to be agreed, the disclosures are based on the formats provided in the Basel Committee Standards for Pillar 3 Phase 2 disclosure requirements.

The Group's fully phased minimum requirement for own funds and eligible liabilities (MREL) is 22.7 per cent of RWA from 1 January 2022 based on RWA and leverage exposure at half year 2020. The Group's usable CET1 buffer is additive to the minimum requirement, resulting in a total MREL requirement of 26.3 per cent based on RWA and leverage exposure at half year 2020 from 1 January 2022. As at 30 June 2020, the Group's MREL position was 30.7 per cent of RWA and 10.0 per cent of leverage exposure.

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 www.sc.com/en/investors/credit-ratings-fixed-income/#capitalsecurities.

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

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's 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 30 for credit risk exposures under IRB (which include counterparty credit risk); Table 15 for the RWA flow statements for credit risk exposures under IRB (which includes securitisation balances below); Table 42 for exposures under the SA (which include amounts below the threshold for deduction) and section 4.2 for exposures subject to counterparty credit risk.

1 The regulatory capital requirement is calculated as 8 per cent of the risk-weighted assets, and represents the minimum total capital ratio in accordance with CRR Article 92 (1)

2 Credit risk (excluding counterparty credit risk) includes non-credit obligation assets

3 Counterparty credit risk includes assets which are assessed under IRB and standardised approaches

4 To calculate operational risk standardised risk-weighted assets, a regulatory defined beta co-efficient is applied to average gross income for the previous three years, across each of the eight business lines prescribed in the CRR

RWA decreased by \$1.5 billion from 31 December 2019 to \$262.6 billion. This was due to decreases in credit risk (including counterparty credit risk) RWA of \$2.5 billion and operational risk RWA of \$0.8 billion. These were partially offset by an increase in market risk RWA of \$1.8 billion.

• Credit risk including counterparty credit risk decreased to \$213.1 billion. The decrease was driven by:

  • \$7.9 billion decrease due to the sale of the Group's principal joint venture investment, PT Bank Permata Tbk
  • \$3.6 billion decrease from foreign currency translation
  • \$7.0 billion increase due to net credit migration, principally in ASEAN & South Asia and Europe & Americas
  • \$1.0 billion increase in model, methodology and policy changes, primarily relating to the Revised Securitisation Framework
  • \$0.7 billion net increase driven by asset balance growth in Corporate & Institutional Banking and the Treasury Markets liquidity portfolio, partially offset by decreases in Commercial Banking and Private Banking
  • \$0.2 billion increase due to RWA efficiencies relating to an initiative in Transaction Banking
  • Operational risk RWA decreased \$0.8 billion mainly due to the sale of our shareholding in the Group's principal joint venture investment, PT Bank Permata Tbk. This represents a 3 per cent year-on-year reduction in operational risk RWA
  • Market risk RWA increased to \$22.6 billion. This change was due mainly to IMA RWA changes in positions and increased volatility, partly offset by the new IMA Rniv temporary mitigant for backtesting exceptions

Market risk RWAs under an IMA increased by \$2.2 billion from 1 January 2020, mainly driven by a \$2.6 billion increase in VaR RWAs reflecting increased market volatility.

2.5 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. These buffers are applied to individual banks and are phased in.

Following the FPC's recommendation to the PRA to exclude qualifying claims on central bank exposures from the leverage exposure measure in the UK leverage ratio framework, and the corresponding waiver granted by the PRA, the Group has been reporting the leverage ratio on a UK basis (excluding qualifying claims on central banks exposures) from March 2017.

At 30 June 2020, the Group's current minimum requirement inclusive of leverage buffers was 3.6 per cent:

  • (i) The minimum 3.25 per cent
  • (ii) A 0.35 per cent G-SII leverage ratio buffer and
  • (iii) A 0.05 per cent countercyclical capital leverage ratio buffer, based on half year 2020 countercyclical capital buffer rates

The Group's current UK leverage ratio of 5.2 per cent is well above the current minimum requirement. The UK leverage ratio was flat in the period following a small increase in end point Tier 1 (as profits and £1 billion of new AT1 offset a \$2 billion AT1 call) and a small increase in the exposure measure (as increased benefit from regulatory consolidation adjustments mainly due to the sale of Permata partly offset growth in on-balance sheet assets).

3.1 Exposure values

Credit quality of exposures

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 22 to 24 break down defaulted and non-defaulted exposures by exposure class, as defined in the CRR, and by industry and geography. Exposure values presented in the tables are before the impact of credit conversion factors (CCF) and funded credit risk mitigation (CRM) but after substitution.

All Standard Chartered accounting provisions are categorised as specific credit risk adjustments according to the EBA Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on specification of the calculation of specific and general credit risk adjustments (EBA/RTS/2013/04). The column for general credit risk adjustments as included in the prescribed templates of the EBA disclosure guidelines has therefore been removed. Net values equate to EAD after deduction of specific credit risk adjustments.

Values in Tables 25 to 27 are gross carrying values in accordance with IFRS. Tables 25 to 27 depict past-due exposures, broken down by past-due bands and provide further information on non-performing and forborne exposures.

3.2 Risk grade profile

Table 30 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 31 to 39.

IRB credit risk excluding counterparty credit risk EAD and RWAs increased by \$9.2 billion and \$2.2 billion respectively (Tables 31 to 39):

  • Central governments and central banks EAD increased \$5.9 billion and RWA decreased by \$0.3 billion, driven by an increase in inter-bank lending, primarily in ASEAN & South Asia
  • Institutions EAD and RWA decreased by \$1.3 billion and \$2.1 billion respectively, driven by decreases across multiple regions and products
  • IRB corporates EAD and RWA increased \$3.9 billion and \$4.5 billion respectively, driven by an increase in short-term and revolving loan facilities, primarily in Greater China & North Asia and Europe & Americas

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.

4 Traded risk

Traded risk is the potential for loss resulting from activities undertaken by the Group in financial markets. This includes market risk, counterparty credit risk and other risk sub-types.

4.1 Market risk

Market risk is the potential for loss of economic value due to adverse changes in financial market rates or prices. The Group's exposure to market risk arises predominantly from these sources:

  • Trading book: the Group provides clients access to financial markets, facilitation of which entails 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 rather than risk-taking
  • Non-trading book:
    • The Treasury Markets desk is required to hold a liquid assets buffer, much of which is held in high-quality marketable debt securities
    • 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

Interest rate risk from non-trading book portfolios is transferred to local Treasury Markets desks under the supervision of local Asset and Liability Committees. Treasury Markets deals in the market in approved financial instruments in order to manage the net interest rate risk, subject to approved Value at Risk (VaR) and risk limits.

The primary categories of market risk for the Group are:

  • Interest rate risk: arising from changes in yield curves, credit spreads and implied volatilities on interest rate options
  • Foreign exchange rate risk: arising from changes in currency exchange rates and implied volatilities on foreign exchange options
  • Commodity risk: arising from changes in commodity prices and implied volatilities on commodity options; covering energy, precious metals, base metals and agriculture as well as commodity baskets
  • Equity risk: arising from changes in the prices of equities, equity indices, equity baskets and implied volatilities on related options

Market risk regulatory capital requirements

The PRA 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 IMA covering the majority of interest rate, foreign exchange, and commodity 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 for the Group are presented in the following table.

Backtesting

In the first half of 2020, there were three regulatory backtesting exceptions at Group level (in the second half of 2019, there were two regulatory backtesting exceptions at Group level). All three exceptions occurred in the period of extreme market volatility triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • 10 March: When markets rallied following the announcement of measures to stimulate the US economy
  • 13 March: When markets rallied as the Federal Reserve provided details of US Treasury purchases, and cut interest rates
  • 24 March: When markets rallied as US Congress finalised a \$2 trillion package to stimulate the economy, also impacting gold prices

In total, there have been five Group exceptions in the previous 250 business days, which is within the 'amber zone' applied internationally to internal models by bank supervisors (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Supervisory framework for the use of backtesting in conjunction with the internal models approach to market risk capital requirements, January 1996).

The graphs below illustrate the performance of the VaR model used in the Group capital calculations. They compare the 99 percentile loss confidence level given by the VaR model with the Hypothetical and Actual P&L of each day given the real market movements. Actual backtesting P&L excludes from trading P&L: brokerage expense, fees & commissions, non-market-related accounting valuation adjustments and accounting debit valuation adjustments. Hypothetical backtesting P&L further excludes P&L from new deals and market operations.

Table 50: June 2020 Backtesting chart for Internal Model Approach regulatory trading book at Group level with actual profit and loss (P&L) versus VaR (99 per cent, one day) (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 equivalent 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 51 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.

5 Forward-looking statements

This document may contain 'forward-looking statements' that are based on current expectations or beliefs, as well as assumptions about future events. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as 'may', 'could', 'will', 'expect', 'intend', 'estimate', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'plan', 'seek', 'continue' or other words of similar meaning. By their very nature, such statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and can be affected by other factors that could cause actual results, and the Group's plans and objectives, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

COVID-19 disclosures

On 2 June 2020, the EBA issued Guidelines on reporting and disclosure of exposures subject to measures applied in response to the COVID-19 crisis (EBA/GL/2020/07). These Guidelines followed the implementation of a broad range of measures, such as legislative moratoria on loan repayments and public guarantees in Member States. These additional reporting and disclosure requirements are expected to be time-limited as they are introduced strictly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The tables below provide a summary view of the credit quality, volume and maturity of loans and advances subject to moratoria as well as an overview of the stock of newly originated loans and advances subject to public guarantee schemes introduced in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

Glossary

Additional Tier 1 (AT1) capital Additional Tier 1 capital consists of instruments issued by the bank and related share premium other
than Common Equity Tier 1 that meet the Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR) criteria for inclusion in
Tier 1 capital.
Advanced Internal Rating Based
(AIRB) approach
The AIRB approach under the Basel framework is used to calculate credit risk capital based on the Group's
own estimates of prudential parameters.
Arrears A debt or other financial obligation is considered to be in a state of arrears when payments are overdue.
Loans and advances are considered to be delinquent when consecutive payments are missed. Also known
as 'delinquency'.
Available-for-Sale Non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and
receivables; held to maturity investments, or financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
ASEAN Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) which includes the Group's operation in Brunei, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
ASEAN & South Asia (ASA) ASEAN & South Asia (ASA) includes Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos,
Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
Asset Backed Securities (ABS) Securities that represent an interest in an underlying pool of referenced assets. The referenced pool can
comprise any assets which attract a set of associated cashflows but are commonly pools of residential or
commercial mortgages and in the case of Collateralised Debt Obligations (CDOs), the reference pool may
be ABS.
Attributable profit to
ordinary shareholders
Profit for the year after non-controlling interests and the declaration of dividends on preference shares
classified as equity.
Backtesting A statistical technique used to monitor and assess the accuracy of a model, and how that model would 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 phased in and will be fully implemented by 1 January 2019. 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 from 2022.
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.
Capital Requirements Directive
(CRD)
A capital adequacy legislative package adopted by EU member states. CRD IV comprises the recast Capital
Requirements Directive and the 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.
Central Counterparty (CCP) A CCP is a clearing house that acts as an intermediary between counterparties for certain products that are
traded in one or more financial markets.
Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital 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.
CRD IV A capital adequacy legislative package adopted by EU member states. CRD IV comprises the recast Capital
Requirements Directive and the 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. 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.
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 creditworthiness 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.
Free delivery When a bank takes receipt of a debt or equity security, a commodity or foreign exchange without making
immediate payment, or where a bank delivers a debt or equity security, a commodity or foreign exchange
without receiving immediate payment.
Funding valuation adjustments (FVA) FVA reflects an adjustment to fair value in respect of derivative contracts associated with the funding costs
that the market participant would incorporate when determining an exit price.

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.
Global Systemically Important Bank
(G-SIB)
Global 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 Financial
Stability Board (FSB) and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) have established a
methodology to identify G-SIBs based on 12 principal indicators. The list of G-SIBs is re-assessed through
annual re-scoring of banks and a triennial review of the methodology. The G-SIB framework established by
the FSB and the BCBS is implemented in the EU via CRD IV 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.
Individual capital guidance Guidance given by the PRA to the Group about the amount and quality of capital resources to maintain.
Individual impairment charge The amount of individually assessed loan impairment provisions that are charged to the income statement in
the reporting period.
Individual liquidity guidance Guidance given by the PRA to the Group about the amount, quality and funding profile of liquidity resources
to maintain.
Institution A credit institution or an investment firm as defined under the Capital Requirement Regulation (CRR).
Internal Capital Adequacy
Assessment Process (ICAAP)
A requirement on institutions under Pillar 2 of the Basel framework to undertake a comprehensive assessment
of their risks and to determine the appropriate amounts of capital to be held against these risks.
Internal Liquidity Adequacy
Assessment Process (ILAAP)
A requirement on institutions under Pillar 2 of the Basel framework to undertake a comprehensive assessment
of their risks and to determine the appropriate amounts of liquidity to be held against these risks.
Internal Model Approach (IMA) The approach used to calculate market risk capital and RWA with an internal market risk model approved by
the PRA under the terms of CRD IV/CRR.
Interest Rate Risk (IRR) Interest rate risk arises due to the investment into rate-sensitive assets, as well as from mismatches between
debt issuance and placements.
Internal ratings- based approach
(IRB)
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 introduced under Basel III / CRD IV 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.
MENAP Middle East, North Africa and Pakistan (MENAP) includes the Group's operation in Afghanistan, Bahrain,
Egypt, Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Occupied Palestinian Territory,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE).

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 Basel framework which requires banks to undertake a comprehensive
assessment of their risks 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)
The Prudential Regulation Authority is the statutory body responsible for the prudential supervision of 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)
Central counterparty that is either authorised (when established in the EU) or recognised (when 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.
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 (RWAs) 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

transfer of risk is achieved by the use of credit derivatives or guarantees, and the exposures being securitised
remain exposures of the originating institution.

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.
