Up to 100 bln. without limitation Number of banks 22 4 2 2 8 These requirements will be implemented gradually and provide the possibility of continuing banking activity to small and average banks , including taking of deposits of individuals within the set limit. From 38 banks only 8 have the OC of over 100 billion and the opportunity to attract deposits from individuals without limitation. For banks with capital less than 100 billion the amount of deposits will depend on the size of OC. The limits introduced on individual deposits will provide a full coverage of deposits of the population in banks with capital less than 100 bln. by reserves of Kazakhstan deposit insurance fund (KDIF). Note: Number of banks with capital < 100 bln. = 30 Aggregate individual deposits in banks with capital < 100 bln. = 363 bln. (reserved by KDIF) Overall reserves of the Kazakhstan deposit insurance fund = 305 bln. D. Phased in capitalization approach : I. will support confidence in banks II. will continue consolidation trend but not concentration III. will decrease the costs through the economy of scale, as well as develop the new capital-intensive and technological financial services IV. will strengthen the competition among ten large banks of Kazakhstan and the competition with 50 large banks of Russia 4 Transition to Basel III capital standards Gradual transition schedule Dates of introduction Minimum requirements Own capital Kazakhstan Russia ЕС Basel III Overall level of capital Kazakhstan Russia ЕС 01.01.2014 01.01.2015 01.01.2016 01.01.2017 01.01.2018 01.01.2019 5% 5.5 % 6% 6.5 % 7% 10 % 12 % 5% 4% 4% 4.5 % 4.5 % 7.5 % 8% 10 % 8% 8% Basel III Conservation buffer Kazakhstan Russia ЕС Basel III 9% 1% (2,5%*) 2% (3%*) 3% 2.5% 0.625% 0.625% 1.25% 1.25% 1.875% 1.875% 2.5% 2.5% * for systemically important institutions (SII) 5 Peculiarities of implementing Basel III in Kazakhstan A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. According to assessments Kazakhstani banks can withstand the new capital adequacy requirements under Basel III. The additional level of capitalization needed for the banking system is estimated at 2,7% of RWA (by estimations of banks and NBK). Normative values of own capital adequacy and buffers are reviewed by the authorized body at least once in every three years to ensure sustainable and at the same time competitive banking sector According to the calculations of NBK banks’ capital adequacy with specific risks can be ensured when establishing requirements higher than those recommended by Basel III, which is also confirmed by international practice. Minimum core capital and own capital ratios will be set at the 7% and 12%, both are subject to 5 year phased in period The Additional Tier 1 Capital instruments (irredeemable financial instruments) and Tier 2 Capital (subordinated debt), that don’t meet the Basel III standards, are subject to flat rate depreciation from banks’ capital from 2015 to 2019 (over 5 years, at a rate of 20% per year) From January 1, 2016 calculation will be carried out on an unconsolidated basis (IAS), in case of affiliated organizations - on a consolidated basis (IFRS) A conservation buffer, a counter-cyclical buffer and a separate buffer for systemically-important banks are defined. The timing of introduction of the minimum values of buffers will be set later. Issues for further analysis a. b. Supervisory capital add-ons for banks based on assessment of risk profile, risk management and internal control will be introduced Improvement of legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the part of introduction of the concept of financial instruments that meet the criteria of Basel III: cumulative preferred stock, bonds convertible into shares, subordinated debt c. Implementation of instruments to improve the health of banks in case of problems at the expense of shareholders and creditors of the bank (bail-in tool) Expansion of the list of banking operations and their types (investment banking operations in the securities market). d. 6
