PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 2 Basel II about risk management Standardised approach Most banks for long time still: Many if not all in emerging markets Many smaller institutions in G-10 Many IRB in beginning still standardized Some institutions for selected businesses cannot apply IRB uniformity Regulators: IRB for all sizes of banks Little attention so far for standardized approach
3
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 3 Reasons for change Basel I to Basel II - Arbitrage: misunderstood - OECD (including Turkey) - US banks focusing on risk After LDC debt crisis in 1987 Real estate debacle early 90’s Unexpected loss of economic capital Introduction of ratings – internal For risk, pricing, control, earnings, capital / risk - At same time financial world much more complex Structured finance: prominent role rating agencies
4
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 4 Hence IRB A-IRB approaches But how standardized approach ? Solution: external ratings / rating agencies Risk element in standardized - Claims on corporates: Unrated 100% First incentive: one of many Unrated clients: too high – banks distressed from lending Too low – suffering from easy money Unrated lower risk-weight than loans to companies rated B and below

PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 5 Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers’ analysis Table 1 The standardised approach risk weightings Claim Assessment AAA to AA- A+ to A- BBB+ to BBB- BB+ to B- Below B- Unrated Sovereigns (if export credit agencies 0% (1) 20% (2) 50% (3) 100% (4-6) 150% (7) 100% BanksOption 1 1 20%50%100% 150%100% Option 2 2 20% (20%) 3 50% (20%) 3 50% (20%) 3 100% (50%) 3 150% (150%) 3 50% (20%) 3 Corporates (20%)(50%)(100%)BB+ to BB- 100% Below BB- 150% 100% 1 Risk weighting based on risk weighting of sovereign in which the bank is incorporated (but one category is less favourable) 2 Risk weighting based on the assessment of the individual bank 3 Claims on banks of a short original maturity, lass than three months, would generally receive a weighting that is one category more favourable than the usual risk weight on the bank’s claim The Standardised approach risk weightings

PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 6 Faced with this choice, banks will choose lending to unrated Impact to be settled Recognised Rating agencies ECAI status will be conferred by domestic regulators Issues of applicability For banks which operate internationally AIG will have to play big role here CESR recognition Lack of rating agencies and ratings Issue from beginning
7
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 7 So far: Moody’s, Standard & Poors, Fitch Not well spread over countries Many countries 2% corporates rated – lack of default data - Reputation rating agencies - Performance rating agencies Example Germany: few corporates have ratings Implementation Issues Standardized Approach Approach based on set of defined categories and external ratings Need to map this framework across own business
8
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 8 Principle challenges Data The wider process Opportunity to review and formalise the wider credit risk management function Go further to ensure calculations element of coherent risk management function Good foundation for next IRB approach - Systems to support new process
9
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 9 Conclusion: - Vast numbers of smaller banks using a risk- sensitive system - Cruder than IRB approach Still revolution for many institutions - Opportunity to align risk with business objectives Rating agencies Encouragement for new rating agencies ?

PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 10 Thresholds: Reliability Record of several years Rating agencies do affiliations or banks start own rating agency Danger: better ratings than banks want to lend on Tension + conflict of interest Issue: higher requirements emerging markets Many emerging market regulators:

PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 11 Standardized approach e.g 10% (8%) Basel I Supported by rating agencies views on emerging market debt Banks believe 10% not sensible on Pillar I PwC Impact Study for EU Commission Aim New Accord create a risk management continuum

PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 16 Encourage to move along Risk continuum Better grip on Credit portfolios Better pricing In tune with complex products (derivatives etc)
17
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 17 Key Question for Turkey Gradual evolvement Or directly to latest technology Baumol on competition and innovation “Innovation is the central feature that drives the market process, more than competition” And “Innovation comes mostly from existing companies”
18
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 18 Basel II is not necessarily the driving force behind risk management and corporate governance improvements Credit risk 5C’s Character – reputation of firm Capital - (leverage) Capacity – (volatility of earnings) Collateral Cycle – (especially for cycle dependent industries)
19
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 19 Towards internal ratings All in transition at various levels Much is not there: Economic capital Only 10% of the interviewed by PwC regarded their approach to economic capital as fully developed and operational Corporate governance: From our questionnaire together with EIU: Banks uncertain how to improve own standards of disclosure and governance Sarbox to be only ticking the boxes Does not reflect quality of controls
20
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 20 - Increasing complexity of systems worldwide Further standards the only way out The Challenge of Compliance Financial institutions face a major challenge Sheer complexity of regulatory environment At same time corporate reporting structures continue to be very much fragmented
21
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 21 Where do financial institutions stand ? PwC Compliance Study + 8 th Annual CEO survey 1. Regulators increasingly focusing on role and responsibility of compliance function 2. Compliance office has developed significantly over last 3 years Moving from enforcement towards trusted adviser Increasing independence of compliance function 3. Interesting : Organisations have made minimal efforts in the compliance area until forced by regulatory requirements
22
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 22 4. Expectations industry and regulators have of each other: Both need to firm up on their understanding of ‘compliance risk’ Internally and across borders Many regulatory / market changes IAS, Corporate Governance, Value Reporting / Corporate Reporting, Cost of capital / Economic Capital – Pillar II Basel II, and the many in the securities and Insurance industry: examples
23
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 23 Advisable to look for adding value from it as a wider agenda: Key = Recognition of strong impact on fundamentals Recognition of interactions / linkages Among implementation projects Requires financial institutions to re-orientate PwC started many joint projects with clients Not just a technical challenge It is a management challenge In fact, two to one CEO’s prefer to see compliance as an investment rather than a cost
24
PricewaterhouseCoopers 8 October, 2015 Page 24 CONCLUSION Aim to make business and strategy more risk-sensitive Banks and regulators start to “behave” in more risk aware fashion Take wide perspective Innovation step by step
