Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
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.

The temporary liquidity relief measure granted by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB)
due to the effects of Covid-19 pandemic has been withdrawn in a phased approach whereby
the minimum regulatory requirement increased from 80% to 90% effective 1 January 2022
as per the SARB Prudential Authority directive D8/2021 issued on 29 October 2021.

 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 holdings in excess of the minimum requirement of 90% have been excluded
    from the aggregated HQLA figure in the case of all Africa Regions entities.

 2. The above figures reflect the simple average of 90 days of daily observations over the quarter
    ended 31 March 2022 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 as at 31 January 2022, 28
    February 2022 and 31 March 2022. The figures are based on the regulatory submissions to the
    SARB.
 3. The 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.
