The LCR requirement, from 1 January 2015, was 60% and will increase by 10% per year to 100% on 1 January 2019. The requirement for 2016 is 70%. The LCR is calculated as the value of HQLA divided by total net cash outflows. HQLA represents the value of assets that can be easily and immediately converted into cash. Net cash outflows are calculated according to regulations. Absa Bank Limited successfully applied for a committed liquidity facility from the South African Reserve Bank under guidance note 8 of 2014 and 5 of 2015, which is included in HQLA for LCR purposes from January 2016. Barclays Africa Group Limited Barclays Africa Group Limited holds HQLA in excess of the regulatory minimum requirement.
