III. Market risk
The Bank calculates market risk using standard method and allocates legal capital in compliance with “Regulation on Measurement and Assessment of
Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks” published in 28 June dated 2012 Official Gazette no. 28337.
The market risk is defined as the potential risk of loss due to changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices on balance sheet and
off-balance sheet positions of the banks.
The capital needed for general market risk and specific risks is calculated using the standard method defined by the “Regulation on Measurement and
Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks” and reported monthly.
In addition to the standard method, the Bank also uses internal models like Historical and Monte Carlo Simulations in measuring market risk. The Bank
also performs daily back-testing in order to measure the reliability of the models. Besides, scenario analyses are implemented in order to support the
Standard Method and internal models. In order to monitor the maturity structure of the asset and liability accounts, liquidity analysis are performed and
the duration of the Bank’s assets and liabilities is calculated.
The market risk analysis of the Bank is reported monthly and sent to the related regulatory institutions.

Information on Counterparty Credit Risk
Counterparty credit risk is the probability of an economic loss that Bank could face because the counterparty to a transaction bringing liabilities to both
parties could default before the final settlement of the transaction.
In calculation of the counterparty credit risk “Valuation Method on the Basis of Fair Value” is implemented in the scope of “Regulation on Calculation
and Assessment of Capital Adequacy of the Banks”. The counterparty credit risk of the derivatives includes current replacement cost and potential future
credit exposure. Replacement cost is calculated on fair value of the contracts, whilst potential future credit risk exposure is calculated by multiplication
of contract amounts with the credit conversion rates stated in the appendices of the regulation.
