Liquidity Coverage Ratio
In terms of the Basel III requirements in Directive 11/2014 issued in terms of section 6(6) of
the Banks Act, (Act No. 94 of 1990), banks are directed to comply with the minimum
disclosure on the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) on both a Standard Bank Group consolidated
as well as SBSA Solo entity level. This disclosure is in accordance with Pillar 3 of the Basel
III liquidity accord.

The LCR is designed to promote short-term resilience of the 30-calendar day liquidity profile,
by ensuring that banks have sufficient high quality liquid assets (HQLA) to meet potential
outflows in a stressed environment.

    Note:
    1. Only banking and/or deposit taking entities are included. The group data represents a
       consolidation of the relevant individual net cash outflows and the individual HQLA portfolios,
       where surplus HQLA holding in excess of the minimum requirement of 100% have been excluded
       from the aggregated HQLA number in the case of all Africa Regions entities.

    2. The above figures reflect the simple average of 92 days of daily observations over the quarter
       ended 30 September 2019 for SBSA including SBSA Isle of Man branch, Stanbic Bank Ghana,
       Stanbic Bank Uganda, Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria, Standard Bank Namibia, Standard Bank Isle
       of Man Limited and Standard Bank Jersey Limited. The remaining Africa Regions banking entities
       results are based on the average of the month-end data points at 31 July 2019, 31 August 2019
       and 30 September 2019. The figures are based on the regulatory submissions to the South
       African Reserve Bank.
    3. SBSA Solo disclosure excludes foreign branches.


Net Stable Funding Ratio
In terms of the Basel III requirements in Directive 8/2017 issued in terms of section 6(6) of
the Banks Act, (Act No. 94 of 1990), banks are directed to comply with the minimum
disclosure on the net stable funding ratio (NSFR) on both a Standard Bank Group
consolidated as well as SBSA Solo entity level. This disclosure is in accordance with Pillar 3
of the Basel III liquidity accord.

The objective of the Basel III Net stable funding ratio (NSFR) is to promote funding stability
and resilience in the banking sector by requiring banks to maintain a stable funding profile in
relation to the composition of assets and off-balance sheet activities.
