The risk measurement methods in calculation of capital adequacy ratio
Consolidated capital adequacy ratio is calculated within the scope of the “Regulation on the Measurement and Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks
(Regulation)”, “Regulation on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques” and “Communiqué on Risk Weighted Amounts for Securitization Exposures” published in Official
Gazette no. 28337 dated 28 June 2012 and “Regulation on the Equity of Banks” published in Official Gazette no. 26333 dated 1 November 2006.
The data used in calculation of consolidated capital adequacy ratio is organized in accordance with the accounting records prepared in compliance with the
current legislation. Besides, the Bank classifies these data as “Trading Book” and “Banking Book”; and takes into account in the calculation of market risk and
credit risk accordingly. Operational risks are also included in the calculation of capital adequacy ratio.
In the calculation of risk-based amounts, the Group classifies its receivables into risk groups described in 6th article of the Regulation and considers the ratings
and risk mitigating elements. The amounts are evaluated in the related risk weight group, accordingly. The Bank applies “basic financial guarantee method” in
the consideration of risk mitigating elements for banking book accounts.
Trading Book Accounts and the Items Deducted from the Capital Base are not included in the calculation of credit risk. In calculation of risk weighted assets,
impairments, depreciation and amortization, and provisions are considered as deduction items.
In the calculation of their risk-based values, non-cash loans are weighted after netting with specific provisions that are classified under liabilities and calculated
based on the “Regulation on Identification of and Provision against Non-Performing Loans and Other Receivables”. The net amounts are multiplied by the rates
stated in the Article 5 of “Regulation regarding Measurement and Assessment of Capital Adequacy Ratios of Banks”, subjected to risk mitigation in accordance
with the “Communique on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques”, classified into related risk-weighted group in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation, then
multiplied with the risk weight of the group in accordance with the Appendix 1 of the Regulation.
In the calculation of their risk-based values, Derivative Financial Instruments and Credit Derivative Contracts which are accounted in banking book, the
receivable amounts due to counter parties are multiplied by the rates stated in the Appendix 2 of the Regulation, subjected to risk mitigation in accordance
with the “Communique on Credit Risk Mitigation Techniques”, classified into related risk-weighted group in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulation,
then multiplied with the risk weight of the group in accordance with the Appendix 1 of the same Regulation. In compliance with Article 5 of the Regulation,
repo transactions, investment securities and commodity lending transactions are accounted for “Counterparty Credit Risk”. The Bank applies “Fair Value
Measurement” in the calculation of “Counterparty Credit Risk”.
