Basel III Ratios – What is liquidity risk?
Liquidity risk is the risk that a financial institution will be perceived as being unable to
meet present and anticipated cash-flow needs without affecting daily operations
... the risk on the bank’s balance sheet due to the mismatch between their
Mismatch or obligations and their maturing assets. On a contractual basis, banks’ obligations
Structural that are due on demand or within a very short time frame outstrip their maturing
Liquidity Risk assets . Maturity transformation is, after all, one of the primary economic functions
that banks provide
... the risk of not having sufficient funds to meet sudden and unexpected s.t.
obligations. Unexpected obligations can arise due to unusual deviations in the
Contingent timing of cash flows (term liquidity risk); non-contractual prolongation of loans;
Liquidity Risk unexpected calls on cash or collateral (call liquidity risk); large draws on committed
loan facilities; collateral calls on derivative contracts following large, adverse
market movements; or deposit withdrawals
... refers to the inability of banks to sell assets - either at all or without large
Market Liquidity discounts versus a mark-to-model price. It arises when a market disruption keeps
Risk banks from trading certain assets classes - e.g., ABCPs, CDOs, money market loans
- due to loss in confidence, reputation, or asset quality
Intraday Liquidity risk is present in cash and payments and settlement services, where
intraday credit risk is taken on the wholesale financial institutions to grease the
Liquidity
financial system. It can turn into overnight credit risk, and hence also funding
Risk liquidity risk

Today
The Committee has proposed two new measurements to monitor liquidity adequacy that will
establish a minimum level of regulation
Metrics Purpose Structure

• ‘Net cumulative liquidity mismatch position under stress scenario’ based on contractual maturities
• Survival period of 30 days – funding gaps < 30 days are neglected
• Stress scenario is a combination of idiosyncratic and systematic factors, defined through asset and
runoff factors specified by regulators
• ‘One size fits all’ philosophy reduces risk sensitivity for the sake of harmonisation – internal stress
tests at banks based on BIS sound principles are required to complement ratio
*) Unencumbered Assets - free from debt, and clear of any legal defect in its title and, therefore, can be easily sold or mortgaged

Basel III Ratios – NSFR
This metric establishes a minimum acceptable amount of stable funding based on the liquidity characteristics
of an institution’s assets and activities over a one year horizon

NSFR promotes medium to long-term funding thus reducing incentives for short-term wholesale funding and
supplements the LCR (by also counterbalancing “cliff-effects”)
The stress scenario is defined differently from the one underlying the LCR – idiosyncratic stress over 1 yr
“Stable funding” is defined as those types of equity and liabilities expected to be reliable sources of funds
under an extended stress scenario of one year
For determination of the required funding amount accounting and regulatory treatment is irrelevant –
required funding amount depends solely on the respective instrument‘s liquidity characteristics
11
Basel III Ratios – Additional Liquidity Monitoring Tools
To better support Regulatory Authorities in their supervisory activities and monitor liquidity risk and banks’ capacity to deal with
their payment obligations in an effective ways under both normal and stressed conditions, together also with LCR and NSFR ratios,
EBA proposed to adopt a set of additional liquidity monitoring tools defined in coherence with BCBS prescriptions (*)
The 5 additional liquidity monitoring tools have the objective to measure relevant additional information connected to cash flows,
balance sheet structures, available uncommitted guarantees and market indicators

With the advent of the new Basel III regulatory framework the Liquidity management will become a
strategic topic that should be assessed at the highest level of Bank structure
― Daily Operations and Tactics could dramatically affect Group profitability (ROE, EVA, …)
The interconnections among phenomena become even more complex leading to a pressing need of an
holistic and uniform view of the business along the whole value chain and with always more fundamental
IT relevance
Among the others, some Group functions are called
― to an evolutionary effort at their internal, and external
― to increase the level of coordination becoming the key structures leading the management

Regulatory Background
Securitization Regulation
January 1st, 2019
• The Securitisation Regulation sets out the criteria for “simplicity”, “transparency” and
“standardisation” that must be fulfilled in order to obtain the “STS” classification
• RTS detailing various aspects of the new regime are to be published before the application date
• EBA will develop guidelines to ensure a common and consistent understanding of STS requirements, in
order to address potential interpretation issues
CRRII - FRTB
2022 (expected)
• In November 2016 the EC issued the CRRII proposal which includes FRTB provisions for TB securitizations
• With FRTB securitization capital requirements will reflect both default risk and additional risk components

STS regulation
Impact of the new framework
The periodic assessment of STS criteria shall require a quite heavy effort, due to several criteria to be checked on one-
by-one basis, involving both originator and investor banks:
Treasury department of originator banks shall include the STS assessment in the securitization
origination and monitoring process and some STS criteria shall be addressed at loan granting level, too
Front desks of investor banks should include the STS assessment in the due diligence activities already
performed, even if STS information will be potentially provided by public info providers
Risk management, both for originated and investment securitizations, shall include the STS assessment in
the set of second level controls, checking each criteria at origination and on-going basis
The impact, both organizational and methodological, will be given mainly by the assessment of following criteria:
1 Comparability between securitized exposures and assets originated in the ordinary course of business of the
originator in order to demonstrate alignment in performances and the absence of a originate to distribute
model
2 Cash flow model implementation for each securitization issued in order to disclose to investors structure
features and collections diversion to the notes
3
Loan by loan disclosure for investors analysis and due diligence
4
Verification of the presence of active portfolio management activities (e.g. Active management of the
Residual Value)
5 Verification of the presence of provision related to market value disposal of the underlying assets
(e.g. Auto Loan with Residual Value)
26
STS regulation
Criteria overview
• The criteria for STS securitizations in the Proposed Regulation are based on the criteria developed by the EBA in its 2015 Report of Qualifying
Securitization
• In order to qualify as STS a securitisation transaction should meet a list of criteria ensuring simplicity, standardization and
transparency
• STS Securitizations will benefit more favorable parametrizations in risk weight calculation (e.g. lower risk weight floor, 10%, for senior
tranches)
* Loans or leases to a group of connected clients, as referred to in point (39) of Article 4(1), shall be considered as exposures to a single obligor
(homogeneity could be viewed in coherence with that application) 27
STS regulation
Simple Standard and Transparent
• The criteria for STS securitizations will be treated with second level regulation by the EBA that will provide details on each of the criteria
reported in the 2017/2402 Regulation
Rules that could reduce the application for FCA Bank to issue STS compliant transactions 28
STS regulation
Art 20.8 Homogeneity
• On December 2017 EBA provided a consultation paper that aims to introduce Regulatory Technical Standard (RTS) in order to define the
eligibility criteria for STS transactions
• These criteria regards a list of risk factors that are currently subject to consultation between the regulator and the other involved
counterparties

Capital Requirements for
Counterparty Credit Risk and
Central Counterparty Exposures

European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR)
General principle
This document focuses on the Initial Margin obligation under EMIR (effective in the EU).
However, this requirement is also envisaged by the Dodd Frank Act Reform (effective in the US), with many overlapping areas
31
EMIR – Initial Margin Exchange
General principle
The multiple phase-ins are based on the aggregate average notional amount of non centrally cleared
derivatives concluded at Group level in the months of March, April and May of every year until the start of
own’s phase-in
In particular the different Initial Margin phase-ins are:
Initial Margin Phase-in
Aggregate
Average
> € 3.000 > € 2.250 > € 1.500
> €750 billion > €8 billion Notional
billion billion billion
Amount
“Initial Margin is the collateral collected by a counterparty to cover its current and
potential future exposure in the interval between the last collection of margin and
the liquidation of positions or hedging of market risk following a default of the
other counterparty”
32
EMIR – Initial Margin Exchange
The rule provides several requirements for the eligibility of collateral to be exchanged, concerning:
Eligibility and Definition of assets eligible as collateral and related haircuts (adjustments to the collateral
collateral value) to be applied
treatment Concentration limits of the Initial Margin in relation to assets issued by a single issuer or entities
belonging to the same Group
Risk The rule defines the obligation to have specific risk management procedures in terms of:
In scope counterparties (FC and NFC+) and products
Management
Threshold in terms of amount of collateral owed with respect to the latest IM exchange date
Procedures
Segregation of collateral exchanged as IM
(*)These events are connected with modifications of the portfolio (addition or removal of deals)
33
EMIR – Initial Margin Exchange
The starting of the IM requirements needs an important review of the IT architecture and
operating model with engagement of business and control departments
34
Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR)
General principle
EU Regulation n. 2365/2015, also known as Securities Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR), entered into
force on January 12, 2016 aims to increase the transparency of the Securities Financing Transactions (SFT) market
and, inter alia, requires counterparties to produce a report containing detailed information for every SFT they undertake
The transparency objective is pursued through three pillars: transparency on the re-use of financial instruments
(art.15), transparency toward investors (arts. 13-14) and reporting of SFT transactions (art.4)
The application of the obligations related to the first two pillars has already taken place, while it is expected that
the Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) related to the third pillar (Reporting) will enter into force by the end of
2018. The application of the RTS will take place starting 12 months after the entry into force of the RTS
Reporting
Article 4 of the SFTR Regulation provides for the reporting obligation to a Trade Repository (TR) of the SFT
transactions concluded, modified or terminated, by the next working day (T+1). The reporting obligation also applies to
outstanding positions
Repurchase Agreement, Buy-Sell Back
Counterparty Data – parties involved in Securities Lending, Commodity
the transactions Lending
Loan and Collateral Data – economic Margin Lending
terms of the transactions and evaluation of
the collateral
Margin Data – margins exchanged with Financial and non-financial
the central counterparty (CCP) counterparties established in the EU or in a
Collateral Reuse Data – estimatation of third country, if the SFT transaction is
the reuse of collateral (dedicated formula) concluded in the course of the operations of a
branch in the EU
35
SFTR – Reporting
SFTR reporting requirements pose some challenges even for counterparties that have already implemented other
regulatory reporting frameworks
Group structure
All the entities of a Group need to comply with
Reporting complex structure the SFTR requirements
The entities can either implement the reporting
High number of fields (153 themselves (decentralized model) or delegate it
versus 85 for EMIR and 65 for to the Head Office (centralized model)
MIFID)
Non-native fields required
Multiple depth reporting (trade Timing
and position level)
UTI generation model There are no phase-ins: the
definition (internal/ counterparty/ application date is the same for
platform) all banks
The industry estimates the
reporting obligation to apply
starting by the end of 2019
The industry recommends that the counterparties start to analyze these key topics as soon as
possible in order to be able to respect the reporting application deadline
36
SFTR – Reporting
Legal Adjustments
Update of contracts with counterparties in the event of reporting delegation
Update of SLAs between the Parent Company and the legal entities of the Group
for the handling of SFTR reporting
The implementation of SFTR requirements needs a review of the IT architecture and operating
model with the engagement of business and control departments
37
Counterparty Credit Risk Global Trends and our view
The derivative markets have undertaken significant changes in recent years, as an effect of the financial crisis. The
post-crisis period marked a reaction form both Regulatory and Industry side

trade bilaterally
Major Banking Institutions proactively manage collateral obligation to pursue P&L and Cost
Effectiveness. Such objectives are typically achieved via a structured Collateral optimization process
to maximize the efficiency of inventory to meet collateral obligations
38
Collateral Optimization Strategies
Collateral Management undertakes a critical function today: it is the bridge between CCPs
and Counterparties and it offers the opportunity to acquire and manage these relationships to
improve profitability and efficiency by augmenting the numbers, the quality and the
pace of the services
Collateral Optimization is achieved exploiting the differences in the liquidity remuneration and
the repo rates of deliverable securities under initial/ variation or CSA based collateral
agreements
In such framework, given market repo rates and liquidity/ funding costs, the Bank defines
upfront for each CCP and CSA counterpart, which kind and quantity of collateral to deliver
Based on the total collateral amount and market rates, the activity can save significant
collateral costs over the year
The key issue in the Collateral Optimization model is the fragmentation of the available
and deliverable securities for CCPs

The comparability of capital requirements under SA and IRB approaches is enhanced by aligning relevant
definitions and taxonomy. Moreover, a revised capital floor has been introduced as a risk-based backstop to limit
the extent of lowering capital requirements, relative to the SA

NPL/Forborne Exposures
General principle
The complex regulatory framework and the increasing market pressures are requiring a growing need to better deal with
the Non Performing issue with the aim to:
• prevent situations of default by means of specific KRI and relevant triggers to provide effective early warning alerts
• efficiently manage situations of debtor financial difficulties through affordable forbearance measures
• adopt structured approaches to manage NPL stock based on multiannual NPL reduction plans
In this context, the main banks are facing the following key challenges:
NPL Strategy: definition of NPL Strategy in line with RAF & budgeting processes minimizing
capital impact and cost risk
Main challenges for Operating model: a) development/update of Early Warning System (also in line with IFRS9) to
Banks prevent the deterioration of credit quality; b) industrialization of restructuring process for retail
borrowers and development of decision trees based on the analysis of historical experiences
Decision making tool: a) tool development to support decisions about restructuring strategy vs
recovery; b) development of E2E proactive credit’s management workflow; c) innovative
technology adoption (cognitive / RPA)
66
New SREP and EBA guidelines on ICAAP are expected to be
more challenging for banks
Pillar 2 Framework
Pillar 2 is not merely a simple capital adequacy assessment. It combines institutions’ Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process
(ICAAP) and supervisors’ SREP. The ICAAP is an internal risk based assessment (performed by banks) of capital requirements and
resources, whist the SREP is (performed by Regulator) is a review and challenge of the ICAAP and underlying processes. Under EBA
Guidelines, the scope of SREP has considerably widened to include many other element beyond ICAAP: including business model analysis,
Individual Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP), Stress Testing, internal governance and controls
Key elements of ICAAP should include governance structure, documentation requirements, methodologies, LE

perimeter, Risk identification and material risks;
Governance
ICAAP shall be subject to regular review and validation
General principle
The financial crisis identified significant weaknesses in the functioning and composition of banks’ management bodies. ECB «Guide to
fit and proper assessments» and Bank of Italy consultation documents amending supervisory arrangements included within Circular
no. 285, as of EBA guidelines on “sound remuneration policies” (EBA/GL/2015/22) will provide a new regulation with the aim to
strengthen the supervision and assessment of banks’ board members
Definition of common supervisory practices concerning “fit and proper” criteria assessment, with
regard to the professional experience, the skills and the adequate standing of members of the
management body, both in their management and supervisory functions.
Redefinition of “remuneration”, through the introduction of more specific criteria aimed at
correctly distinguishing its fixed and variable components.
New developments Review of the process for the identification of categories of staff whose professional activities have
a material impact on the institution’s risk profile (“identified staff”, falling under Bank of Italy
introduced
“personale più rilevante” definition) for remuneration purposes, which requires a direct
involvement of the management body, the remuneration committee and all group entities.
Amendments to the discipline concerning variable remuneration deferral for the identified staff
and the duration related to financial instruments retention period, as well as with regard to
retention bonuses, long-term incentive plans (LTIPs) and severance payments related to
the early termination of a contract or an office.

TRIM Project
General principle
The Targeted Review of Internal Models (TRIM), is a project to assess whether the internal models currently
used by banks to determine their Pillar 1 own funds requirements (i.e. the minimum amount of capital they
must hold by law) comply with regulatory requirements, and whether their results are reliable and
comparable, and harmonize supervisory practices, thus reducing non-risk-based variability of their outcomes and
promoting a level playing field within the SSM
ECB is performing approx. 200 on-site TRIM Investigations (TRIMIs) in 2017 and 2018, possible
enlarging the project to 2019. First (and many of those) missions will start beginning of April, 2017.
The ECB’s main objectives are:
Reduce variability in RWA due to internal models to ‘restore credibility and adequacy’
New developments Therefore ECB will perform an in-depth review of internal capital models, including horizontal
introduced analyses between banks
Identify best practices during horizontal analyses
Banks are expected to update their internal model approach based on the review, especially banks
that are outliers
Results from the TRIM might trigger further regulatory developments
ECB has released the “ECB guide to internal models” (still under consultation) that sets out the ECB’s
view on the appropriate supervisory practices and how the relevant EU law should be applied in
particular areas. Banks should therefore consider the TRIM guidelines and the ECB findings on
Main challenges for
SIs within the project decisions
Banks
At the conclusion of the TRIM project (2019), the ECB Supervisory Expectation on internal models
(Credit, Market, Counterparty Risks) will be released and EU Banks will have to comply with the
guidelines within the defined timeframe

GDPR
General principle
The Regulation (UE) n. 679 («GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation») has overall rewritten the rules regarding personal data
protection of natural persons, as well as provisions concerning the free movement of personal data.
The aforementioned Regulation, effective in all Member Countries of the European Union from the 25th of May 2018, introduced
multiple new rules and disruptive factors, even maintaining, however, unchanged European fundamental principles in subject of
personal data protection of natural persons

MIFID II
General principle
The Directive 2014/65/EU (Markets in financial instruments directive - "MiFID II") and the Regulation (EU) n. 600/2014 (Markets in
financial instruments regulation - "MiFIR") updated the European regulatory framework relating to the financial instrument markets
The purpose is to develop a single market for financial services in Europe, in which transparency and investor protection are
guaranteed. The regulation contains different kind of provisions which, inspired by the duty to act in the best interests of the client,
ensure correct information for investors, deal with potential conflicts of interest between the parties and require an adequate profiling of
the investor
In addition, with the aim of strengthening confidence in the financial system, sectors previously unregulated are included within the
scope of MiFID II and a more complete system of supervision and enforcement of the rules is established.

AML (4th EU Directive)
General principle
The purpose of the IV AML Directive (EU Directive 849/2015), acknowledged in Italy by the Decree 90/2017, is to remove any
ambiguities in the previous legislation and improve consistency of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing
(CTF) rules across all EU Member States.
