6 This item shall include the aggregate amount of deposits received that are unlikely to be withdrawn within a short period of time, excluding any amount relating to an item included in item 9.

 

7 This item shall include the aggregate amount of deposits received that may be withdrawn within a short period of time.

 

13 This item shall include the aggregate amount of liquidity facilities provided by the reporting bank to any off-balance sheet vehicle. For example, when the reporting bank acts as a liquidity provider in respect of a special-purpose institution in an asset-backed securitisation structure, the bank shall include in item 13 the aggregate amount relating to a liquidity facility provided by the reporting bank to the said special-purpose institution.

 

15 to  17 These items shall include the relevant required aggregate amounts in respect of irrevocable commitments granted by the reporting bank to provide funds, provided that no amount in respect of a commitment to provide funds, which commitment may unconditionally be cancelled by the reporting bank at any time, shall be included in any of the aforementioned items.

 

18 to  28 Based on the relevant directives specified above in respect of items 1 to 9, these items shall reflect the relevant required aggregate amounts relating to the maturity or run-off of assets and liabilities of the reporting bank under normal operating conditions, instead of being based on the contractual maturity profile of the relevant asset and liability items.

 

35 to 43 Based on the relevant directives specified above in respect of items 1 to 9, these items shall reflect the relevant required aggregate amounts relating to a bank-specific stress, as determined by way of factual experience or simulation or both, performed by the reporting bank in respect of all relevant asset and liability items under a bank-specific stress scenario.

 

The simulated stress mismatch shall include stress modification approved by the bank's board of directors or board-approved committee, or assumptions made by the reporting bank in respect of the business as usual mismatch, which simulated stress mismatch aims to provide an indication of the potential deterioration in the reporting bank's business as usual liquidity position under a bank specific stress scenario.

 

46 This item shall include any amount relating to a stress outflow that may arise from off-balance sheet exposures, such as liquidity calls in respect of off-balance sheet commitments relating to a special-purpose institution.

 

53 to 67 These items shall reflect the relevant required aggregate amounts in respect of funding sources available to the reporting bank under a bank-specific stress scenario, before taking into consideration any dispensation that may be granted by the Reserve Bank.

 

54 This item shall reflect, amongst others, the aggregate amount relating to long-term investments that may be realised by the reporting bank within the specified time intervals.

 

55 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of liquid marketable securities held for trading purposes, which securities shall be unencumbered, that is, this item shall not include any amount relating to a security held that is subject to further commitment or in terms of which agreement the security will be repurchased at a future date.

 

56 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount relating to assets available for sale in respect of securitisation vehicles, of which the capability to execute within the period specified on the form BA 300 is already in place, that is, this item shall reflect the aggregate amount relating to assets within already approved securitisation structures in respect of which issues or further issues can readily be made available to the market.

 

57 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of foreign exchange positions that may be executed by the reporting bank in order to obtain rand funding.

 

59 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of any liquid asset portfolio specifically maintained by the reporting bank for contingency liquidity risk management purposes, provided that this item—
(a) shall not include any instrument held in order to comply with the requirements specified in section 72 of the Act, which requirements relate to liquid assets required to be held by a bank;
(b) shall include the aggregate amount of securities or instruments used by the bank for accommodation purposes, and any unencumbered liquid asset designated by the bank for liquidity risk contingency funding.

 

60 This item shall be equal to 25 per cent of the reporting bank's liquid assets held in terms of the provisions of section 72 of the Act.

 

61 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of the reporting bank's current utilisation in terms of the Reserve Bank's repo allotment.

 

62 This item shall reflect the estimated aggregate amount in respect of funds available to the reporting bank from the interbank market in terms of  undrawn lines or interbank funding agreements.

 

63 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of uncommitted secured funding lines available to the reporting bank, such as bilateral funding lines derived from banking relationships.

 

64 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of committed funding lines available to the reporting bank, such as lines raised by the payment of commitment fees.

 

65 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of loans that will mature and which amount may be used by the reporting bank for funding purposes in the case of a liquidity stress event.

 

69 Irrespective of the provisions of subregulation (11)(a)(vi) relating to a significant counterparty, this item shall, as a minimum, reflect the bank’s 10 largest depositors or counterparties.

[Regulation 26(17)(69-71) substituted by section 7(h) of Notice No. 724, GG44003, dated 18 December 2020]

 

72 This item shall reflect the aggregate amount in respect of negotiable paper funding instruments issued by the reporting bank, including all relevant amounts relating to negotiable certificates of deposit, promissory notes or instruments of similar characteristic.

 

80 and 86 In the case of all ZAR cross currency swap contracts the reporting bank shall report the relevant ZAR legs relating to the said contracts in items 80 and 86.
