Key Insights
- Capital Adequacy: Under the Baseline Scenario, the CET1 ratio improved from 10.7% in 2013 to 13.2% in 2016, surpassing the EU threshold of 8.0%.
- Adverse Scenario Impact: The CET1 ratio dropped to 8.9% in 2016, falling below the EU threshold of 5.5%, indicating potential capital stress.
- Impairment Trends: Impairment losses increased significantly in the Adverse Scenario compared to the Baseline Scenario, reflecting higher credit risk under stress conditions.
- Risk Exposure: The Total Risk Exposure slightly increased in both scenarios, but the Adverse Scenario showed higher risk concentrations, especially in retail and SME sectors.
- Sovereign Shock: Valuation losses due to sovereign shocks were reported in the Adverse Scenario, affecting capital levels.
- Securitisation: No significant securitisation positions were deducted from capital, suggesting minimal impact on regulatory capital.
