Basel and the Committee on Banking

 The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision ( BCBS ) is a committee of banking supervisory authorities that was established by the central bank governors of the Group of Ten countries in 1974. It provides a forum for regular cooperation on banking supervisory matters.

 The Basel accords are a series of recommendations on banking laws and regulations issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BSBS).

 The name for the accords is derived from Basel, Switzerland, where the committee that maintains the accords meets.

 Its objective is to enhance understanding of key supervisory issues and improve the quality of banking supervision worldwide.

Basel I

Basel I was a document written in 1988 by the Basel Committee on Banking

Supervision, which recommends certain standards and regulations for banks.

The main recommendation of this document is that in order to lower credit risk, banks should hold enough capital to equal at least 8% if its risk-weighted assets.

Most countries have implemented some version of this regulation.

*Group of Ten (have become 11) are: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy,

Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The full title of the accord is Basel II:

Framework

Basel II

 Basel II, written in 2004, recommended that banks should maintain enough cash reserves to cover risks incurred by investment and lending practices. It improved on Basel I by offering more complex models for calculating regulatory capital, including credit risk , operational risk and market risk .

 Implementation of Basel II by United States regulators was in 2008, so it was not in place prior to the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-08. Unlike

European regulators, those in the U.S. made Basel II optional for non

“core” banks (i.e. assets >$250b).

So …

Unlike the first accord, where focus was mainly on credit risk, the purpose of Basel II was to create standards and regulations on how much capital financial institutions must have put aside.

Enter Basel III

Why B3?

Unlike Basel I and Basel II, which are primarily related to the required level of bank loss reserves that must be held by banks for various classes of loans and other investments and assets that they have, Basel III is primarily related to the risks for the banks of a run on the bank by requiring differing levels of reserves for different forms of bank deposits and other borrowings.

Therefore contrary to what might be expected by the name, Basel III rules do not for the most part supersede the guidelines known as Basel I and

Basel II but work alongside them.

Key aspects of Basel III

The overall goal of Basel III is to address and to improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress.

 New regulation going into effect 2015-2017, phased implementation

 Addresses financial stability over a 30 day stress period

 A stricter definition of capital to increase the quality, consistency and transparency of the capital base

 U.S. regulation does not apply to all banks

A new global liquidity standard : LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio)

 Specific types of liquid assets - cash and securities

 Specific amounts of liquid assets based on type of deposits and credit commitments

 Requirements differ based on size of institution

The regulatory playing field

U.S. financial institutions are classified into three groups, based on asset size.

 $250b+ Standard treatment

 $50b - $250b

 < $50b

Modified treatment

LCR does not apply

Must be unencumbered, and not held as a client pooled security.

High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA)

Three levels defined

• Level 1 – highest quality, easily and immediately convertible to cash with no loss of value, all with zero risk weight

• Reserve bank balances, foreign reserves, U.S. government securities, sovereign and multilateral organization securities

• Level 2a – U.S. government sponsored enterprises, 20% risk weight

• Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp, Federal National

Mortgage Association, Farm Credit System, Federal Home

Loan Bank

• Level 2b – publicly traded corporate debt and common stock

What’s excluded

• Assets issued by financial sector entities

• Bonds and securities issued by public sector entities – state, local, other subdivisions below level of sovereign

Liquidity Coverage Ratio

• High quality liquid assets divided by stressed cash outflows

• Ratio must be 100% or higher upon full implementation

• Mandated outflow assumptions

Outflow Assumptions - Deposits

In calculating LCR, the regulation requires that covered banks assume certain outflows from deposit accounts (funds will be withdrawn at these rates) based on the classifications shown below.

Outflow assumptions are different for the two classes of banks that are subject to this regulation (explained on the following slide).

“Corporate treasurers have historically valued banks for the liquidity banks can provide.

Soon, banks will value corporate treasuries for the

KIND of liquidity corporates can provide…”

Operating Deposit Definition

“…a deposit that is necessary to provide operational services as an independent third-party intermediary, agent, or administrator…”

Requires:

 Operational services provided pursuant to a written agreement

 Subject to a 30 calendar day termination notice

 No economic incentive to attract excess deposits

The “Cost” of Regulation

 Profitability

 Some relationships are more profitable and valuable than others.

 Pricing/Rate Actions

Most banks that are repricing are doing so at the client level.

Some are keeping much narrower bands in their pricing.

Limiting repricing duration, guaranteeing rates for only one year.

 Provides better visibility to the overall value of the relationship, not just a decision based on deposits.

• Economic incentive

• Section l.4(b)(5) of the proposed rule would have required that “an operational deposit account not be designed to incent customers to maintain excess funds therein through increased revenue, reduction in fees, or other economic incentives.”

• Documentation

Account and/or relationship level documentation may change based on legislation

KeyCorp Public

25

G

The Value of Deposits

 Banks have set their strategy to focus on the profitability of the relationship rather than to set targets for the entire segment.

 Banks are reviewing their clients on an individual basis to identify whether the overall relationship is worth keeping.

Some will make minor concessions , such as not lowering rates for specific clients, if the overall relationship is profitable. At the same time, they are more willing to drop large deposits if the overall profitability of the relationship is not attractive.

 Banks all accept that the deposits on their own are not valuable, however, they often are a necessary component to ultimately achieve profits , e.g., through loans and fee-generating services.

 Banks have divergent strategies for their public sector/government lines of business, i.e.: some have continued to grow their public sector business because they are looking ahead to a more favorable interest rate environment.

So what do I do with my cash?

 Corporates need a solid understanding of daily cash requirements (Operational balances) versus long term investments (excess funds)

 Some banks are offering or are evaluating offering product alternatives, including:

 Sweeps

 Term/Time Deposits

 Alternative Investments

 Several banks are developing programs to help clients better optimize or forecast their operating cash as a method to reposition deposit alternatives.

Call to Action

What does this mean to me (the Corporate) specifically?

Talk to your banker about:

 Your operating needs versus investments

 What pricing or rate impacts will I see?

 What investment options do you offer?

What does this mean to me (the Banker) specifically?

 Is it BAU for your clients?

 Are you discussing LCR with your clients?

 Are you monitoring the competitive landscape?

Reality is …

 All market participants, including financial institutions, rating analysts, financial journalists and regulators are learning that we now live in an environment where new rules will continue to appear as markets evolve. The

Basel banking committee never intended for the first

Basel to be set in stone.

 In our lifetime, it is more than likely that we could see a

Basel V or even a Basel VIII. That reality and its impact, not only to the banking industry, needs to be communicated to the market, i.e.: what do these changes mean for you?
