Liquidity disclosures
Liquidity coverage ratio (LCR)
The objective of the LCR is to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of banks by ensuring
that they have sufficient high-quality liquid assets to survive a significant stress scenario lasting 30 calendar
days.
With effect from 1 April 2020, the minimum LCR requirement in South Africa was reduced from 100% to 80%.
As the PA is now of the view that this relief measure is no longer necessary, the minimum LCR requirement
has been revised to 90% from 1 January 2022 and back to 100% from 1 April 2022. This applies for both
Investec Bank Limited (IBL) (solo basis) and Investec Bank Limited (IBL) consolidated group.
In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the South African Banks Act 1990 (Act No. 94 of 1990),
banks are directed to comply with the relevant LCR disclosure requirements. This disclosure is in accordance
with Pillar 3 of the Basel III liquidity accord, as specified by BCBS d400 (2017) and Directive D1/2018.
The following table sets out the LCR for IBL (solo basis) and IBL consolidated group for the quarter ending 31
December 2021:
IBL (solo basis) – Total IBL consolidated group – Total
weighted value weighted value
High quality liquid assets (HQLA) (R’mn) 94,350 96,607
Net cash outflows (R’mn) 63,634 63,573
Actual LCR 150.2% 153.8%
Required LCR 80%^ 80%^
^ - temporarily reduced from 100% by the PA.
The values in the table are calculated as the simple average of 92 calendar daily values over the period 1 October 2021 to 31
December 2021 for IBL (solo basis). IBL consolidated group values use daily values for IBL (solo basis), while those for other group
entities use the average of October, November and December 2021 month-end values.
Net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
The objective of the NSFR is to promote the resilience of the banking sector by requiring banks to maintain a
stable funding profile in relation to the composition of their assets and off-balance sheet activities on an ongoing
structural basis. By ensuring that banks do not embark on excessive maturity transformation that is not
sustainable, the NSFR is intended to reduce the likelihood that disruptions to a bank's funding sources would
erode its liquidity position, increase its risk of failure, and potentially lead to broader systemic risk.
The minimum NSFR requirement in South Africa is 100%. This applies to both IBL (solo basis) and IBL
consolidated group.
In accordance with the provisions of section 6(6) of the South African Banks Act 1990 (Act No. 94 of 1990),
banks are directed to comply with the relevant NSFR disclosure requirements. This disclosure is in accordance
with Pillar 3 of the Basel III liquidity accord, as specified by Directive 11/2015 and Directive 01/2018.
The following table sets out the NSFR for IBL (solo basis) and IBL consolidated group as at 31 December
2021:
IBL (solo basis) IBL consolidated group
Actual NSFR 115.3% 115.8%
Required NSFR 100% 100%
Further disclosures with respect to Investec Limited’s and Investec Bank Limited’s capital and liquidity will be
provided on the Investec website in due course as required by the relevant regulations.
