Basel III: General update

January 2020

Basel III - Overview
The Basel framework has developed over multiple decades, increasing in scope and
sophistication but also complexity during the period
Since its inception in the Basel accord of 1988, the Basel framework on capital regulation has come to be established as the core assessment of soundness
and stability of the banking system. The framework continues to evolve with various revisions in response to the changing circumstance, such as the
2007/08 financial crisis.

                                                                                                                                                 Basel III

What we can expect
In December 2017, the BCBS reached an agreement on the final Basel III standards. These revisions will be implemented in the EU through CRD5/ CRR2
and CRD6/CRR3. The December 2017 rules aim to restore credibility in the calculation of Risk Weighted Assets making the Standardized Approach more risk
sensitive and constraining the use of internal models.
                 BCBS December 2017 final revisions                                                                                   In CRR2                            In CRR3

 •   Constrained Internal Ratings-Based Approach for Credit Risk (limiting the use of advanced IRB
     approaches for many low-default portfolios and introducing other constraints)

 •   The BCBS published its final rules for the FRTB in January 2019*                                                                       CRR2

 CVA, Operational Risk, Output Floor
 •   Minimum capital requirements for CVA** (removal of the internally modelled approach and the
     introduction of a revised standardised approach)
 •   Minimum capital requirements for Operational Risk (revised standardised approach to replace                                                                     To be adopted
     the existing standardised and advanced measurement approaches)
 •   Standardised output floor BCBS (72.5% of the capital produced by the new standardised
     approaches, through a five year phased implementation period - 50% in 2022 rising almost linearly to
     reach 72.5% in 2027).

 Leverage Ratio                                                                                                                      Leverage ratio G-             Revised exposure

 •   G-SIB buffer
*These rules will be reflected by the European Commission by way of a Delegated Act under CRD5/CRR2.

** In November 2019 the BCBS consulted on targeted revisions to the CVA framework. These changes may not be in the Commission’s legislative proposal                                        5
in June 2020, but we expect them to be adopted – potentially through a Delegated Act, or other Level 2 mandates

*This is a contingent timeframe: 12 months after entry into force of CRR2 the EBA is required to submit a regulatory technical standard on the subject, and the exemption will apply 12 months after the entry into force of that RTS, which is
contingent on Commission approving and adopting those standards. This process takes 3-12 months.                                                                                                                                                          6
*Estimated date: FRTB reporting requirements for the IMA are due to apply 3 years after entry into force of RTS on liquidity horizons for the IMA, RTS non-modellable risk-factors in the IMA and RTS on P&L attribution (due to be submitted
by the EBA by 28.03.2020). As above, it is contingent on the Commission adopting those standards, which can take 3-12 months.

  challenging these rules will be for banks to put in place and operate

*This is a contingent timeframe: 12 months after entry into force of CRR2 the EBA is required to submit a regulatory technical standard on the subject, and the exemption will apply 12 months after the entry into force of that RTS, which is
contingent on Commission approving and adopting those standards. This process takes 3-12 months.                                                                                                                                                          8
*Estimated date: FRTB reporting requirements for the IMA are due to apply 3 years after entry into force of RTS on liquidity horizons for the IMA, RTS non-modellable risk-factors in the IMA and RTS on P&L attribution (due to be submitted
by the EBA by 28.03.2020). As above, it is contingent on the Commission adopting those standards, which can take 3-12 months.

Basel III – Timing of CRD6/CRR3 implementation

The Commission is due to publish a legislative proposal in Q2 2020. If       2020          2021          2022              2023             2024            2025
proposed at that date, we expect a CRD6/CRR3 legislative package
implementing the finalised Basel III to take a minimum of two years to
                                                                                Proposal                     Final rules
negotiate, based on the precedent set by CRR2 and the original CRR                                           in force
negotiations.
                                                                             2020          2021          2022              2023             2024            2025

Thereafter, CRD6/CRR3 is then likely to take one to two years to implement                                   Final rules          Rules apply to EU banks
in the EU. Two years was the standard implementation period included for                                     in force
most components of CRR2.

Based on an optimistic assumption around the speed of EU political
negotiations and Level 2 rulemaking by the EBA before implementation,        2020          2021          2022              2023            2024             2025
this means that the EU is likely to miss the BCBS 1 January 2022
implementation target by one-to-two years.
                                                                                Proposal                     Final rules          Rules apply to EU banks
                                                                                                             in force
This will add cost and complexity for firms which operate across multiple
jurisdictions, with some other jurisdictions set to implement the reforms

Basel III – Banking Association response

If implemented as proposed, Basel III will make capital requirements less risk sensitive
The Copenhagen Economics paper (published in November 2019, on behalf of EBF and EU country banking associations) analyses the impact
of Basel III on the banking sector. The paper concludes that the final Basel III rules are not in line with the three key principles that the G20
provided as guidance for implementation at a global level:

    • Support better alignment of risk assessments. EU banks’ internal risk models capture risks reasonably accurately so the output floor
      would be expected to widen gaps between probable future losses and capital requirements. Capital requirements will increase the most
      for banks with the lowest historical losses.

    • Should not lead to a significant increase in capital requirements. EU banks are estimated to see a 24% increase, equivalent to EUR
      91 bn. core equity. Additional capital is needed to maintain current rates, up to EUR 300-400 bn.

    • Aim for a level playing field at global level. The 24% EU capital ratios increase compares to unchanged average capital requirements
      in the US. There is no evidence for the need of a substantial increase in risk weights for the many EU banks that use internal models.

The paper sets out several alternatives for the EBA to             Increase in capital requirements with different options of implementation
consider which would have the effect of a lower capital            Increase in CET1 requirement
increase:

Deloitte’s experience and lessons learned
Key observations

  • Financial exposures continue to grow…
  Due to
  • Insufficient liquidity in Risk Free Rates (RFR) products,
    especially term structure rates
  • Ineffective industry action
  Leading to:
  • Risk model changes can be material and regulatory
    approval needs to be factored into project timelines
  • Operational readiness and compliance requirements
    not appropriately identified
  • Frontline staff lack of awareness =>
  • Conduct risks not appropriately managed, e.g fund
    managers reference to a benchmark

             In Denmark, above observations are amplified by the
                 lack of key deadlines for CIBOR replacement

The evolving regulatory agenda - Focus on the Banking Sector
Significant regulatory activity over the next few years
EBA Action Plan, published in December 2019, sets out the
objectives of the EBA’s work on sustainable finance over the
coming years.

Includes improving the regulatory framework so that “institutions
can foster their operations in a sustainable manner and introduce
sustainability considerations in institutions’ strategy and risk
management”.

EBA have categorized their mandates (in order of sequential
treatment):
    • Strategy and risk management
    • Key metrics and disclosure
    • Stress testing and scenario analysis; and
    • Prudential treatment

Notwithstanding the regulatory timeline, banks are recommended
to pro-actively introduce sustainability considerations into
their strategy and risk management, prioritize the
identification of simple metrics to provide transparency on
climate change related risks as well start using scenario testing
to better explore and understand their exposure to physical and
transition risk

                                                                    26
The evolving regulatory agenda – focus on the insurance sector
Strong focus on practical implementation of the regulatory framework as part of
Solvency II review will continue

EIOPA Opinion on Sustainability and Solvency II, published in September 2019, concluded that Solvency II is able to accommodate
sustainability risks and factors – as it is a risk-based, forward-looking and market-consistent framework

However there are considerable challenges related to managing risks related to climate change, not least the Time
horizon over which risks emerge vs 1-year Solvency horizon, Non-life underwriting period vs emergence of claims

EIOPA recommends that companies start to implement measures linked with climate change-related risks, especially where these
have a substantial impact to their business strategy. The importance of using scenario analysis as part of Pillar II (ORSA) is
highlighted as a result.

In line with the Solvency II review during 2020, EIOPA will engage in for example:
     • Analyses regarding the treatment of natural catastrophes and “protection gap”
     • Sensitivity analysis exercise for climate-related risks during 2020(*)

View from Nordic insurance associations (including Insurance and Pension Denmark): Position paper on Insurance for a Sustainable
Society, published in December 2019:
• Supports Solvency II as a risk based system that can encompass climate change-related risks
• But highlights the need for clear rules, a good objective taxonomy and high quality data
• Raises the impact of climate change-related risks on the ability to access affordable insurance in the future
• Strongly support the implementation of the TCFD recommendations in the areas of data gathering and reporting as being
   fundamental to the assessment and pricing of risk

Supervisory expectations and requirements
DK FSA published a note* covering the potential impact of financial risks due to climate
change and expectations for the financial sector’s preparations to take account of these
risks.

In addition, in the annual “julebrev” DK FSA requires life and non-life insurance                                                 Governance / Frameworks
companies to provide by 1 July 2020 a statement from their Board setting out their
considerations and actions on financial risks caused by climate changes.

DK FSA expectations are that financial risks due to climate change are managed in line                                             Strategy and risk appetite
with existing good governance and risk management frameworks. This means, for
example:
   •   In the absence of common definitions and rules, international frameworks are used for
       identifying and assessing risks, such as set out by the TCFD
                                                                                                                                     Risk identification and
   •   Financial risks due to climate change are considered in the setting of the firm’s risk appetite                                     evaluation
       (“øvrige ricisi”)
   •   Scenario analysis or stress testing of these risks is carried to analyse the short and long term
       impact on the business model (physical and transition risks)
   •   Appropriate processes and controls need to be put place to manage the risks, particularly if the                         Measurement and monitoring
       potential effect is significant
   •   Additional information needs to be collected on companies that financial institutions finance or
       invest in
   •   For insurance companies, these risks are an integrated part of the ORSA so that the Board can
       discuss, challenge and take decisions relating to these risks
   •   Firms improve the quality of risk assessment and management of financial risks due to climate                                                                     28

DAC6
Overview

                •   The EU Council Directive 2018/822 (DAC6) amends the existing Council Directive 2011/16/EU.

                •   DAC6 imposes the obligation to disclose reportable cross-border arrangements (RCBAs) on EU intermediaries.

                •   The goal of the implementation of the DAC6 is to provide the tax authorities of EU member states with information to enable them to
  Regulations       promptly react against harmful tax practices and to close loopholes through enacting legislation or by undertaking adequate risk
                    assessments and carrying out tax audits.

                •   Expected minimum fines for financial institutions: 50,000 – 400,000 DKK (depending on turnover) per missed reporting!

                •   Legislation and implementation will vary across EU countries, so close monitoring is needed if activity in more jurisdictions.
