Risk categories

Table 1: Core risk indicators

Indicator name Formula / Description Sign

1. Capital

1.1. Leverage Ratio Leverage Ratio as stated in Article 429 of Regulation (EU) (-) A higher value

1.2.a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio (CET1 ratio)No 575/2013 indicates lower risk CET1 ratio as stated in Article 92(2)(a) of Regulation (EU) No (-) A higher value 575/2013 indicates lower risk
1.2.b Capital Coverage Ratio (CCR)Actual CET1 ratio Actual own funds (-) A higher value Required CET1 ratio or Required own funds indicates lower risk Where: ‘own funds’ as stated in Article 4(118) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. ‘required CET1’ and ‘required own funds’ refer to the total CET1 and total own funds requirements of an institution according to Article 92 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, Article 104(1)(a) and Article 128 (6) of Directive 2013/36/EU.
2. Liquidity and funding

2.1. Liquidity Coverage LCR as stated in Article 412 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (-) A higher value Ratio (LCR) indicates lower risk

2.2. Net Stable Funding NSFR as defined in Article 428a-428az of Regulation (EU) No (-) A higher value Ratio (NSFR) 575/2013 indicates lower risk

3. Asset quality

3.1 Non-performing NPL ratio as specified in Article 11(2) subparagraph (g) (+) A higher value loans ratio (NPL ratio) point (ii) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) indicates higher risk 2021/45114


14 Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/451 of 17 December 2020 laying down implementing technical standards for the application of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to supervisory reporting of institutions and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 .

4. Business model and management

4.1. Total risk exposure Total Risk Exposure Amount (TREA) (+) A higher value amount (TREA) / Total Total Assets indicates higher risk assets ratio

Where: ‘T otal risk exposure amount ’ as stated in Article 92(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 DGSs may use different calibrations for member institutions using the internal ratings-based approach or the standardised methods for calculating risk weighted exposures amounts

4.2 Return on assets Net Income (-)/(+) Generally, a (RoA) Total Assets higher value

indicates lower risk, DGSs should calculate the RoA as an average over at least 2 but too high values years to avoid including one-off events and avoid can also indicate procyclicality in contributions. high risk

5. Potential losses for the DGS 5.1. Covered deposits / Covered Deposits (+) A higher value unencumbered assets Unencumbered Assets indicates higher risk

Where: ‘unencumbered assets’ is defined in Article 411(5) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

𝐴𝑅𝑊 𝑖 = 𝛽 ∗ ( 𝛼 𝛽 ) ( 𝐴𝑅𝑆 𝑖 )

Where:

the ARS of an institution ‘I’ can take any value between 0 and 100;

𝛽 = 𝐴𝑅𝑊(0) , i.e. the desired ARW value corresponding to an ARS value of 0 (lower limit); and

𝛼 = 𝐴𝑅𝑊 ( 100 ) , i.e. the desired ARW value corresponding to an ARS of 100 (upper limit).
