active participant in Saudi riyal and various other foreign currency denominated money markets in the
Kingdom.

The Bank is selectively increasing its branch and ATM networks but has a major focus on digital/ non-
physical channels. Capital market and investment services are provided through the wholly-owned
subsidiary i.e. Riyad Capital.

The Bank also has a branch in London, a representative office in Singapore and an agency in Houston, USA.

The Bank is undergoing a transformation journey into becoming the most innovative and trusted financial
solution partner in the Saudi market. Bank is resolutely focused on delivering an excellent customer
experience and an excellent employee experience. An excellent customer experience means that Bank shall
pursue a programme of initiatives to deliver what “Brilliant Banking”; the Bank shall focus on new and growth
markets (such as emerging sectors, SMEs and private sector), and bank shall continue to deliver a best-in-
class digital offering with constant innovation. An excellent employee experience requires continually
developing bank's talent to respond to an ever more competitive market, clear well-laid out career paths,
and high-caliber leaders who inspire the bank staff people to out-run the competition, delight bank
customers, and excel in their jobs and careers.

The Bank adopted an integrated enterprise-wide approach with regard to risk management where all risk
types and cross-risk type issues are identified/understood, measured and monitored at all levels to provide
one integrated view on the Bank’s business risk profile.

b) The risk governance structure


The Board of Directors are responsible to ensure that the Bank is organized effectively and efficiently, and is
conducting its business in accordance with all appropriate regulatory and good corporate governance and
practices. The bank has relevant corporate governance and risk related Board committees that include the
Executive Committee, Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, ALCO, Nomination and
Compensation Committee and the Strategic Planning Group.

The Board carries out the core responsibilities of setting the Bank’s risk appetite, approving the Bank-wide
risk frameworks and relevant policies, monitoring compliance with Board approved risk limits and progress
on implementation of strategic risk related projects as well as compliance with all regulatory matters. These
high level frameworks and policies provide the fundamental corporate governance principles and guidance
for risk taking, managing and monitoring activities throughout the Bank and its subsidiaries.

Risk Management is an independent function from the business, headed by CRO and comprises of
Enterprise Risk Management Division and Corporate Credit Division. Risk Management responsibilities in
the Bank cover all facets of Credit, Market and Operational Risks as well as Liquidity and Interest rate risk in
Banking book. The Enterprise Risk Management Division also has the responsibility of coordinating and
managing the risk appetite and Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Plan (ICAAP), on the basis of a
comprehensive risk-profile of the Bank.

4
c) Channels to communicate, decline and enforce the risk culture
The Bank’s fundamental risk management goal is to build a culture of risk understanding so that better
decisions can be made at every level. Risk culture is an integral part of the Bank’s overall corporate culture.
The conservative risk profile is embedded in the risk culture by means of communication and training, and is
monitored through periodic performance assessment.

The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) is responsible for the actual risk profile and risk processes in the Bank for all risk
types (credit, market, operational, liquidity, interest rate risk, etc.) across all products and business
segments. The Risk Management function headed by the CRO is independent from the Bank’s business
activities.

The Bank, through Compliance Department, reporting to the CEO , ensures that decisions which legally
commit the Bank are in compliance with internally approved policies and procedures, the regulations of the
countries in which the Bank operates, including its branches/overseas units and its fully-owned subsidiaries.

d) The scope and main features of risk measurement systems.

1. Credit Risk Measurement Systems


The fundamental pillars of the Bank’s credit risk management systems are its credit rating systems for
assessing the credit quality of its customers on a regular basis. These advanced systems are deployed in
quantifying credit risk and is leveraged in setting various lending policies incorporating robust credit
underwriting standards.

The scope and features of the risk management system deployed in credit risk management are as follows:

i. Credit Limit Management and Application Workflow System:

System for wholesale business is divided into two main components as follows:

· Credit Workflows Manager- facilitates automation of credit management processes by ensuring the
timely and accurate capture of data and documents, validating consistent business rules and standards, for
a wide range of users across the bank

· Credit Limit Manager- manages multiple levels of credit limits at any point-in-time in a counterparty
structure and across any combination of user-specified criteria such as industry, group, country, rating,
category, product type and risk type etc. It also controls the credit exposures during lifecycle of facility
utilization as excess, past-due and suspension.

5
Credit Limit Management System features:

· The system is able to produce all the required information to enable the management to assess quickly
and accurately the level of credit risk as well as ensure adherence to the risk tolerance levels, throughout
credit lifecycle.

System is capable to apply risk policies and business rules in the processes to validate and control credit
decisions and exposures to generate warnings in case of violations.

The system is able to provide information on the composition of the portfolio, concentrations of credit risk,
quality of the overall credit portfolio as well as various categories of the portfolio and information on
rescheduled/restructured and ‘’watch-list’’ accounts;

· The system is able to demonstrate control over the amounts of credit exposures undertaken with
break-down by loans categories, geography, types of exposures, products and level of credit grades, etc.;

· The system is able to provide details on the overall quality of the credit portfolio. This may include, inter
alia, details of problem loans including those on the watch-list, categories of their classification, potential
loss to the bank on each significant problem loan, the level of existing and additional provisions required
etc.;

ii. Obligor’s Risk Rating System

This system provides a comprehensive Obligor risk information by combining financial spreading, Credit
Analysis & Robust Data Storage using one flexible, secured Enterprise Platform.

System features:

· Highly flexible and Integrated Credit Limit Management and workflow system;

· Risk Analyst’s open architecture design enables integration with proprietary and third-party
applications and ratings models; promotes accuracy integrity and consistency;

iii. Treasury Risk System for Counterparty Credit Risk Measurement

Riyad Bank Treasury System for Counterparty Credit Risk measurements is compliant with Basel III
Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk (SACCR) as adopted by SAMA.

6
Treasury System features:

· Solution complies with Basel III SA CCR computation for EAD (Exposure at Default) OTC Derivatives as
per SAMA/BASEL requirements;

· Solution measures Exposure at Default (EAD) through replacement cost and potential future exposure
while adjusting variation margins posted as collateral.

· Solution is a real-time solution that assist Riyad Bank to achieve a consistent and compliant risk policy
for derivative counterparty exposures. This is accomplished by allowing a bank to apply the same risk
methodology across capital reporting and internal risk limits management

· Solution provide capabilities on checking available limits based on Risk Based and Notional. Further,
system also provides Pre-Deal calculation facilities in a fully integrated and automated environment.

IFRS9 solution for calculation of Expected Credit Loss (ECL):


Bank has implemented Finevare solution for calculating IFRS9 Expected Credit Loss Model (ECL)
provisioning.
Finevare solution complies and conform with the IFRS 9 standard for impairment calculations, simulations,
risk parameters, interest revenue correction and Effective Interest rate. Business reports are also
generated from Finevare in an automated environment.

3. Retail Risk Measurement Systems

For retail asset business, the Bank uses Origination Manager Decision Module for automating the
applications of credit risk acceptance criteria, business acceptance rules, and scorecard decisions. This
system is integrated with customer relationship management systems to allow a seamless origination and
management of retail asset activity.
Moreover, the accounts are managed within the core banking systems given transaction and exposure
management. The accounts rehabilitation process is performed at the collection management system
which has seamless identification and status of the accounts under process.

4. Market Risk Measurement Systems

Riyad Bank uses an integrated market risk system that brings together bank-wide market, ALM and
Liquidity risk management into one platform for daily monitoring and reporting. Kamakura Risk Manager
(KRM) enables Riyad Bank to measure market valuations, Value at Risk, Net interest Income at Risk,
Economic Value of Equity at Risk and IRRBB. Risk is monitored on Banking and Trading Books under normal
and stressed scenarios. The VaR model is subject to daily back-testing and any exceptions to the one-day
99% VaR are analyzed and documented.

The system is regularly validated and upgraded to cater for changes in regulatory requirements and Riyad
Bank’s risk profile.

7
5. Operational Risk Measurement Systems

SAS - Governance Risk and Compliance Manger (GCM) is a single web based platform for Operational
Risk which captures both quantitative and qualitative data for risk identification, assessment &
measurement, mitigation, monitoring and for both internal and external reporting’s by using the following
modules:

Risk Control & Self-Assessment – a key tool which facilitates hosting of risks faced by the organization and
enables their assessment, measurement and monitoring.

Key risk indicators – an important tool within risk management used to enhance the monitoring and
mitigation of risks and facilitate risk reporting.

Incident management module – a robust and complete process life cycle of operational losses (potential,
actual and near-miss with the recovery effects) to produce both internal and regulatory reporting’s.

Issues and action plans –– module that supports creation and tracking of issues and their corresponding
action plans.

Risk Management – used as a risk register repository for the bank, which is linked to other modules to
provide a 360 - degree view of the banks risk profile.
Insurance policies – a tool to manage banks insurance policies, their performance, documentation and
renewal.

Control Testing – module that facilitates the periodic control self-assessment process to enable a
reasonable assurance on the effectiveness and adequacy of control environment.

Compliance Department also uses the ‘Policy Module’ in the SAS (GCM) system which is: an important tool
used for logging regulatory circulations, policies, guidelines and their implementation plan as well as
ownership for better tracking and monitoring of the bank’s compliance.

8
e) Process of risk information reporting provided to the Board and Senior management
Riyad Bank has the following measures in place to monitor the Capital Adequacy Ratio and Risk related
information of the Bank on a continuing basis.

i. Risk Appetite Statement Dashboard and Enterprise Risk management Report, which includes Capital
Adequacy Ratios, is prepared and submitted to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. This report also
contains the Minimum CAR threshold set by SAMA every year and internally sets target for the Bank for the
year. The risk appetite statement describes both the nature of, and tolerance for, the material risks that are
inherent to bank’s business. Actual performance against the risk appetite statement thresholds is
presented periodically to Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC), which besides providing a snapshot
view, also acts as a monitoring tool to holistically review the bank’s actual risk profile against RAS.
Explanation is provided where the ratio is below target level.

ii. Weekly movement report- a snapshot of weekly movement in loan portfolio along with overview of
major transactions and past dues (below and above 90 days) categorized through facilities and segments.
This report is submitted to Senior Management on a weekly basis

iii. Asset Quality report - this comprehensive report is produced on a monthly basis and covers details
about portfolio growth, NPLs and Loan loss reserves, portfolio quality, provision coverage and
concentrations in the portfolio. It also includes Portfolio risk profile and risk migration as well as exposures in
different economic sectors.

iv. ALCO Report is circulated on a monthly basis to the ALCO Members and Invitees which comprises of
senior management of the Bank. This is an exhaustive report covering amongst other topics but not limited
to Funding Liquidity Ratio, Risk Indicators Dashboard, Interest income at risk, Stress tests, Concentration
risk, FX trading positions and VAR analysis etc.

v. Provisioning Report at transactional and client level is produced on a monthly basis from Finevare
solution and provided to Senior Management. The report covers exhaustive information on client’s
provisioning, staging information, rating, past due for management’s analysis.
A range of other standard are also generated from Finevare to meet vast requirements related to IFRS 9
standard reporting as well as specific regulatory or internal reporting requirements.

vi. Quarterly Provision Study closely monitors and identifies provisioning requirements and problem loan
migration. This is approved by the Audit Committee

vii. Bank is reporting on a monthly basis for Retail Portfolio to the Retail Risk Management Committee as
well as Asset Quality Reports which also includes retail risk information is reported to the Board

viii. Risk & Compliance Committee (RMCC) acts as the senior risk and regulatory compliance committee of
the Bank. RMCC has responsibility for overseeing the control environment through monthly reports, the
level of risks taken, compliance with Board and management policies, limits, as well as compliance with all
regulatory requirements. The scope of responsibilities of RMCC extends to all risk types except for Credit
Risk. RMCC receives key metrics related to People Risk with its monthly report for a comprehensive
oversight on the enterprise level risks.
The bank has also instituted an Operational Resilience Committee (ORC) which serves as a
designated committee for overseeing operational resilience related matters which includes,
but not limited to, Operational Risk, Technology Risk, Cyber & Information Security, Business
Continuity, etc.
ix. Operational Risk Management Dept. submits periodic reports to the management and board level
committees to provide an oversight of the major operational risks within the bank. The main objective of
the report is to assist senior executives and Board to take informed timely decisions to keep operational risk
within the bank's operational risk appetite

9
x. Interim condensed financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis. The external auditors of the
Bank provide a Review Report on the quarterly financial statements. Annual consolidated financial
statements are prepared based on which the External Auditors issue audit opinion

xi. A comprehensive Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Plan (ICAAP) is prepared once every year with
rigorous involvement of risk owners and other internal stakeholders to assess Bank’s capital adequacy
position on forward looking basis. The Plan is reviewed by the senior management and approved by the
Board of Directors and subsequently submitted to SAMA. It forms the basis of an active one-to-one
dialogue with SAMA under Supervisory Review Process.

xii. The objective of Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP) is to comprehensively
identify and quantify all sources of Bank’s liquidity risk, document how the Bank intends to mitigate those
risks, and assess how much current and future liquidity is required. An important aim of developing the
ILAAP is to ensure compliance with the overall liquidity adequacy rules set by SAMA. Through ILAAP, the
Bank aims to highlight how it embeds liquidity as a fundamental aspect of its strategic business planning and
regularly assesses liquidity requirements & availability given its balance sheet structure under normal &
stress conditions. The Bank also details its liquidity risk appetite & limits and justifies how it is in line with the
size and complexity of the Bank’s business.

xiii. Bank also undertakes risk assessment and capital requirements under defined stress scenarios for its
material risks. This semi-annual stress exercise is conducted in line with SAMA Rules on Stress Testing. The
results of regular and reverse stress testing are reviewed by the management and shared with Board of
Directors and subsequently submitted to SAMA. The stress testing results are used as an input into the
Bank’s business and contingency funding plans and also forms part of the regulatory dialogue and
engagement under Supervisory Review Process.

xiv. On a quarterly basis the Bank submits CAR to SAMA after due review and approval by senior
management. During the review process the increase/decrease over the previous quarter is analyzed.

xv. Eligible capital is a key component of the CAR calculations. The Bank closely monitors the dividend
payout ratio to consider the impact of dividend payments on its CAR each time it considers dividend
distribution. The impact on CAR, (both before and after distribution of dividends) is an integral part of the file
request sent to SAMA for approval of dividends.

xvi. Key investment decisions taken by Investment Committee consider potential impact on CAR.
xvii. Third party independent review of the bank’s internal Obligor Risk Rating (ORR) models’ validation is
placed for Credit Risk Policy Committee (CRPC) perusal on annual basis. Furthermore, ORR models’
performance and monitoring report is shared with the Senior Management on quarterly basis

10
f) Qualitative information on stress testing
An assessment of risk and capital requirements under defined stress scenarios is conducted to cover Pillar 1
risks (credit, market and operational risk) and material Pillar 2 risks

For each risk type the key model variable(s)/factor(s) are identified that directly influence size of the risk
being measured before applying stress them.

Coverage of the Portfolio:

Adequate coverage of the stress test is achieved through designing scenarios for balance sheet exposures

i. On the assets side, stress testing covers:

- Loan Book: Corporate, commercial, SME, retail / consumer loans (wherever Bank’s significant
exposure exists)

- The traded market portfolios: These portfolios include interest rate, equity, foreign exchange,
commodity and credit market instruments bearing the ability to mark them to market on a regular basis.

ii. On the liabilities side, funding and liquidity is tested at various levels of shocks.

Methodologies Used in Risk Management:


The Bank has adopted following stress testing methodologies for the purpose its risk management across
the organization:

i. Bank uses Advanced approach for stress testing of Corporate asset class both for pillar 1 “Credit” and
pillar 2 “Credit Concentration” along with Market Risk in pillar 1.

ii. For Pillar 1 risks (excluding above) required capital under stressed conditions is based on models used
for Standardized Approach with appropriate set of assumptions specific to the given risk type.

iii. For Pillar 2 risks the required capital under stressed conditions is based on internal models
(quantitative or judgmental) that are used for capital estimation under normal conditions with appropriate
set of assumptions specific to the given risk type.
iv. For each risk type the key model variable(s)/factor(s) are identified that directly influence size of the
risk being measured before stressing them.

v. From a process perspective, after consultation, future plausible stressed events are agreed and
scenarios are drawn with likely implications for the Saudi Arabia’s economic indicators, like oil prices, non-oil
GDP growth, interest rate, inflation, etc. As a next step, Bank specific impact on the financial performance
under each risk area is assessed under certain assumptions. The results are then aggregated to assess
Bank's Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) under the stressed conditions. Stress results are presented to Senior
Management (Asset and Liability Committee - ALCO) for capital adequacy assessment and planning
purposes and is also shared with the Board of Directors and its Risk Committee.

11
g) The strategies and processes to manage, hedge and mitigate risks
Suitable policies and procedures have been adopted by Riyad Bank in order to ensure an appropriate level of
risk management is directed at the relevant element of the business.
The Bank's risk management strategy is to support the Bank's corporate and strategic objectives by
effectively and efficiently assisting business and support units.

The Bank has effective risk mitigation techniques in place to manage and mitigate risk as follows:

i. Bank has comprehensive Credit Risk Management (CRM) Framework in place approved by the Board of
Directors to cover all Bank-wide credit functions and activities. The CRM framework along with strong
credit risk governance structure are designed to provide comprehensive controls and continuing
management of the credit risk.

ii. The bank has an overarching board approved enterprise risk management framework (ERMF) to
outline the high level risk management goals, risk governance and strategy for risk management in Riyad
bank including fully owned subsidiaries, offshore agencies, branches and representative offices, where
applicable. ERMF applies to all levels and assists in achieving the strategic objectives by bringing a
systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, mitigating and reporting of risks.

A strong risk Strategy and risk appetite approved by the Board is in place and monitored and reported
through risk appetite dashboard which provide integrated approach to spot and trigger immediate remedial
actions with clearly defined roles and responsibilities keeping in view the best international market practices

iii. Bank has Business and Risk Acceptance (BACs and RACs) criteria to manage the risk on its loan book
and provide effective screening and measurement tool of credit risk to assist with the building of high
quality credit portfolio at the outset.
iv. The Board of Directors has approved credit policy guidelines for the Bank. All exposures must confirm
to these macro credit-limits, product types and tenors. Cross border counterparty credit lines are subject
to the availability of respective country-limits, where applicable.

v. Bank’s maximum exposure to a single borrower is in line with the maximum legal limits set by SAMA
supported by policies, processes and auto solution to monitor the total indebtedness of group
counterparties. Further the bank has also complied with the minimum requirements on setting large
exposure rules with respect to bank’s exposure to single counterparties, group of connected counterparties
and related counterparties to meet the new regulatory requirements for large and connected exposures
reporting. The rules have now been fully operationalized in the bank’s lending system and complies with
SAMA’s requirements.

vi. Bank has deployed an advanced internal loan grading system as well as early warning signal system
that covers areas such as loan usage, documentation, company information, third party information as well
as external information. The Bank is also more vigilant in terms of the application of credit mitigants. At a
bank-wide level, credit exposures are managed to promote alignment to Bank's risk appetite statement, to
maintain the target business mix and to ensure that there is no undue concentration of risk. Concentration
risk is also well managed through well-defined policy and employment of robust methodology.

12
vii. Bank has adopted the new IFRS9 impairment methodology under which the impairment model under
IFRS-9 reflects expected credit losses, as opposed to incurred credit losses under IAS 39. Under the
impairment approach in IFRS-9, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit
losses are recognized. Instead, an entity always accounts for expected credit losses and changes in those
expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect
changes in credit risk since initial recognition. Impairment approach of IFRS-9 applies to financial assets
measured at Amortized cost and Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income. For the risk
management and reporting purposes, Bank has deployed new ECL calculation solution (Finevare) that
calculates provisioning based on IFRS9 guidelines and supports an integrated modular approach in an
automated environment for business and regulatory reporting. Bank has also put in place the required
policies, process and procedure documents as well as respective models are in place to enable the
computation of ECL for financial instruments that are subject to ECL calculation.

13
viii. Enhancement of management information system is carried out to provide timely, integrated and
informative reports that properly identify, measure, monitor, individual and related exposures as well as
credit risk concentrations. Revision of under writing procedures to be more formalized and specific to take
quick and necessary corrective actions, with policy exception, being immediately tracked and reported to
management and Board of Directors.

ix. Bank has further refined it's internal rating system together with the introduction of risk migration
matrix to assist with more accurate calculation of PD’s associated with loan portfolio and enhancing risk
premium/ review pricing policies.

x. For retail asset portfolios, second line oversight is provided by an independent Retail Risk Management
Department which is involved in the process of setting risk acceptance criteria for product programs,
providing risk assurance on origination, exposure management, and collections activity, as well as with
analytics on the health of the retail portfolio with recommendations for remediation.

Post Crisis Mitigants

i. The Bank has enhanced collateral coverage in designated business activities, together with the
reduction of risk limits at an individual and portfolio levels. Further, the bank can tighten credit underwriting
requirements to reduce credit risk as well as restructuring, unwinding or hedging certain positions.

ii. Amend pricing policies (e.g. as interest spread or margin income) to reflect previously unidentified
risks; the Bank has also deployed RAROC which is a valuable tool, both for senior management to compare
different businesses on a like-for-like basis, and for business managers to compare different products/
customers/ transactions on a like-for-like basis.

iii. Re profiling of the loans which are likely to default due to sudden change in macroeconomic
environment as these may require some time to adjust to the changes.

iv. The Bank has enhanced remedial and restructuring capabilities so as to identify and cure the problem
accounts at the right time in order identify potential NPLs at an earlier stage.

the Bnak reassess market sector exposure and realign Bank’s strategy to one where risk adjusted return on
capital is maximized and carry out more frequent interim revision of riskier/concentrated sections and
collateral limits.

LIQA – Liquidity risk management
Governance of liquidity risk management

Riyad Bank has a robust risk management and governance framework that covers all material risks. Liquidity risk is deemed to be a
material risk for the Bank and is part of the overall risk management framework. The risk management framework comprises of
Board and Senior Management committees, a Board-approved Risk Appetite Statement, Liquidity Risk Policy, Internal Liquidity
Adequacy Assessment Plan, limit management, monitoring and control framework, and an overarching Enterprise Risk Policy.

The Bank adopts a set of liquidity management strategies that limits the liquidity risk to acceptable levels. The compliance of such
internal limits is independently monitored and regularly reported to management and to the Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO).
According to the degree of imminence of liquidity/funding risk, risk stages are outlined in the CFP. These stages are Precaution,
Caution and Crisis. For each of these stages, a specific contingency plan has been laid out.

The policy stipulates activation of the Contingency Funding Plan (CFP) in the event of a major liquidity problem. The CFP delineates
responsibilities of selected senior executives and sets out a plan of action to be followed in any emerging or sudden liquidity crisis. In
order to manage the liquidity contingency process, senior executives designated in this plan draw support from other key
management process already established within Riyad Bank. ALCO, on an ongoing basis provides a forum to exchange information,
both internal and external, which can affect Riyad Bank’s liquidity.

Funding Strategy

The formulation of funding strategy for the Bank is integrated with the annual strategic planning process. Annually, the Bank
develops a detailed budget for immediate next year and three years rolling forecast. For each asset type, forecast volumes are
developed. Based on the forecast volumes and forecast mix, the funding strategy of the Bank is developed.

The funding strategy of the Bank focuses on increasing the customer base of non-interest-bearing stable deposits, diversification of
funding sources as well enlarging the product mix and customer base of interest-bearing deposits. It also ensures that there is
minimum reliance on the whole sale funding (inter-bank) markets and that the Bank maintains a conservative and healthy repo able
investment portfolio.

Liquidity risk mitigation techniques

Riyad Bank operates within an approved Liquidity risk appetite which is defined as the level and nature of risk that the Bank is willing
to take (or mitigate) in order to safeguard the interests of the depositors whilst achieving business objectives. In addition, the risk
appetite statement takes into consideration constraints imposed by other stakeholders such as regulators and counterparties.

Funding and Liquidity Risk is deemed to be a material risk for the Bank; the risk appetite for funding and liquidity is conservative and
deemed to be low. The liquidity risk appetite statement is approved by the Board. Risk appetite is defined on an annual basis or on an
ad hoc basis if there is a significant change in the external environment or business strategy.

In addition, the Bank’s liquidity risk management techniques include:

a. Pro-actively monitor and manage regulatory liquidity ratios such as LCR, NSFR and SAMA Liquidity Ratio
b. Gap Reports to monitor the mismatch risk
c. Concentration Risk limits

30
Stress Testing

Riyad Bank measures its liquidity requirements by undertaking scenario analysis under the normal scenario and three stress
scenarios as follows:
• Normal/Going-concern scenario – this refers to the normal behavior of cash flows in the ordinary course of business and would form
the day-to-day focus of the Bank’s liquidity management.
• Bank-specific (“Name”) crisis scenario – This covers the behavior of cash flows where there is some actual or perceived problem
specific to Riyad Bank.
• Market crisis scenario – This covers the behavior of cash flows where there is some actual or perceived problem with the genera
banking industry.
• Combined Scenario – This covers severe Bank-specific liquidity shock coupled with a severe market wide liquidity impact. Under
combined stress scenario, Bank’s liquidity position is considered to be under most pressure compared to other two scenarios.

31
In addition, Riyad Bank has adopted more stringent standards or parameters to reflect its liquidity risk profile and its own
assessment of the compliance with the SAMA’s Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) standards. The LCR incorporates many of the shocks
experienced during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) into one acute systemic stress for which sufficient liquidity is needed to survive
up to 30 calendar days. Riyad Bank adopts a number of liquidity management strategies to control its liquidity risk and ensures that
its liquidity requirements can be met even during a crisis situation.

Contingency Funding Planning

Riyad Bank has its own Contingency Funding Plan (CFP). The objective of the Bank’s CFP is to ensure the Bank meets its payment
obligations as they fall due under a liquidity crisis scenario. It contains (i) an assessment of the sources of funding under different
liquidity conditions, (ii) liquidity status indicators and metrics and (iii) contingency procedures. Contingency liquidity risk is the risk of
not having sufficient funds to meet sudden and unexpected short-term obligations. The CFP references business area action plans
and a communications plan. Action plans have been developed for a range of circumstances that might arise in wholesale funding
markets. The communications plan aims to reassure principal stakeholders via a rapid communications response to a developing
situation. CFP is reviewed annually or if there is a significant change in the external environment or the balance sheet or funding
profile of the Bank.

OTHER QUALITATIVE INFORMATION

1. Main drivers of LCR & NSFR:


As at 31st of Dec 2022, against the regulatory requirement of 100% of LCR, the Bank is at a comfortable level of quarterly average of
182%. The main drivers of LCR of the Bank are sufficient high-quality liquid assets (HQLAs) to meet liquidity needs of the Bank at all
times and funding from stable customer deposits.

NSFR can be described as the Bank Funding requirement to support the asset maturity profile focusing on 1Y horizon and above
considering the credit quality, counterparty and residual maturity of the assets.

As at 31st of Dec 2022, against the regulatory requirement of 100% the bank’s NSFR is 118.1%

2. Intra period changes as well as changes overtime:


LCR: The average LCR is 182% in Q4 2022 compared to 165% in Q3 2022. The ratio has improved mainly due to an increase in one-
month inflow during Q4.

NSFR: The ratio in Q4 2022 is 118.1% compared to 117.5% in Q3 2022 mainly due to an increase of capital and deposits balances
during Q4.

3. Composition of High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA)


HQLA comprises of high-quality unencumbered assets that can be readily converted into cash at little or no loss of value or used as
collateral to obtain funds in a range of stress scenarios. HQLAs comprises of Level 1 and Level 2 assets. Level 2 assets is further
divided into Level 2A and Level 2B assets, keeping in view their price volatility.

Level-I assets are those assets which are highly liquid. As at 31st of Dec 2022, the Level-I assets of the Bank included cash, due from
SAMA and high-quality qualifying government securities.

Level-2A & 2B assets are those assets that are less liquid. The Bank’s level 2A assets include sovereign central bank, PSE assets
qualifying for 20% risk weighting and qualifying corporate bonds rated AA- or higher. SAMA does not allow the inclusion of level 2B
assets.

4. Concentration of Funding Sources

This metric includes those sources of funding; whose withdrawal could trigger liquidity risks. It aims to address the funding
concentration of a bank by monitoring its funding requirement from each significant counterparty and each significant
product/instrument.
The Bank regularly reviews and measures concentration of funding for each counterparty as well as from all products and
instruments to ensure that it is within Bank’s liquidity risk appetite.

Table CRA: General qualitative information about credit risk
a) Business Model & Credit Risk Profile

For the purposes of aligning business model to Bank’s credit risk profile, Riyad Bank has a policy defining the
Target Sectors and Non-Target Sectors for different segments within corporate portfolio. In addition, bank
has defined criteria in the form of BAC’s i.e. Business Acceptance Criteria for any customer to enter into
relationship with the Bank.

Further Bank defines Risk Acceptance Criteria (RAC’s) for different segments; and products depending on
Obligor Rating, segments, type of products mitigants etc. Bank also align the pricing of the facilities to the
Risk profile of the Obligor. All these parameters assist Bank to balance business profiling to Credit Risk.

b) Criteria and approach used for defining credit risk management policy and for setting credit risk
limits

The Credit Risk Manual is an integral part of the Credit Risk Management (CRM) framework. It provides
details of Riyad Bank’s strategy towards the granting of credit and the management of associated credit
risk. It deals with the details of the principles, standards, risk manuals and processes related to lending. The
audience of the Credit Policy are the Relationship Managers and the credit sanctioning authorities such as
the Credit Review and Approval Department and the Credit Committees jointly with the personnel engaged
in the evaluation, measurement, management and monitoring of risk.

Shown below are the components of the Credit Risk Manual and how it fits/integrates with the CRM
framework of the bank.

Figure 1: Integration of the Credit Risk Manual with CRM Framework


With respect to the business of the Bank, this Credit Risk Manual:

- Provides guidelines that deal with the identification, measurement, mitigation and management of Credit
Risk

- Addresses regulatory requirements that are not directly linked to loan decision and monitoring, such as
the Basel capital computation rules and the Basel credit risk mitigation rules that are adopted by the Bank.

35
- Lays down guidelines for the relationship manager and the credit sanctioning units. The scope of the
manual covers all the credit risk management activities pertaining to the management of corporate credit
portfolios (i.e. all non-retail portfolios), their management and reporting.

Riyad Bank establishes limits for each aspect of risk (single borrower limit, industry sector analysis, collateral
limits, country limits, product line limits etc.)

Documents described in previous section encompass criteria/guidelines provide risk/reward relationship


for the Bank, whereas Obligor credit risk ratings are tied to maximum allowed exposure, product, pricing and
collateral. Indeed, supplemental control/limits are in place for large exposure and related counterparties.

c) Structure and organization of the credit risk management and control function
The Credit Risk Management Structure within the Bank is shown in the diagram below:

36
d) Relationships between the credit risk management, risk control, compliance and internal audit
functions

At Riyad Bank, a number of control functions are responsible for oversight monitoring design and
implementation of internal controls.

1. Risk Management function

Riyad Bank’s credit risk management aims at preserving the high credit quality of the Bank’s portfolios and
thereby protecting the Bank’s short-and long-term viability. The Bank’s credit risk management builds on
the principles of (1) appropriate risk diversification within the scope of the mission; (2) thorough risk
assessment at the credit appraisal stage; (3) risk-based pricing and application of risk mitigation techniques;
(4) continuous risk monitoring at the individual/ counterparty level as well as at portfolio level; (5) avoidance
of undesirable risks to the extent possible. Key risk indicators monitored are, among others, the
development in risk class distribution in the lending and treasury portfolios as well as large exposures to
individual counterparties, sectors and countries

2. Compliance function

The compliance function, including regulatory compliance, is separately performed by the Bank's
Compliance Department with reporting lines to the Bank’s CEO. Bank has implemented an Integrated
Internal Control and Reporting Governance policy which clearly sets out the roles and responsibilities of the
executive management and various committees.

e) Scope and main content of the reporting on credit risk exposure and on the credit risk management
function to the executive management and to the board of directors
Riyad Bank and its fully owned subsidiaries requires management reporting from the various risk
management functional divisions/departments (Credit Division, Risk Management Division) Finance,
Treasury etc. on a daily, monthly, quarterly and annual basis, as and when applicable.

Information compiled from all the business areas is to be examined and processed in order to analyze,
control and identify early warning signs, emerging risks in line with their respective assigned roles and
responsibilities. This information is to be presented and explained to the Board and its committees (in line
with their respective charters), as well as, to the Executive Management and Management Committees
including business division Heads on a periodical basis.

Specific risk related reports are to be prepared and distributed at all relevant levels in the Bank in order to
ensure that all risk oversight functions and business divisions have access to extensive, relevant, complete
and up-to-date information to support their risk management activities.

The following under-mentioned are the reports that is shared from credit risk with the senior management
of the bank:

1. Asset Quality Report

This comprehensive report is produced and shared on a monthly basis and covers details regarding portfolio
growth, NPLs (Non-Performing Loans) and Loan loss reserves, portfolio quality, provision coverage and
concentrations in the portfolio. It also includes Portfolio risk profile and risk migration as well as exposures in
different economic sectors

2. Risk Appetite Statement/ Dashboard:

Risk Appetite is the quantum of risk that Riyad Bank Board is willing to accept in pursuit of its financial and
strategic objectives, recognizing a range of possible outcomes detailed in the Group's overall business plan
and budget. Riyad Bank’s) Risk Appetite combines a top-down view of its capacity to accept risk with a
bottom-up view of the business risk profile requested and recommended by each Business Division.

3. Weekly movement Report

It’s a snapshot of weekly movement in loan portfolio along with overview of major transactions and past
dues (below and above 90 days) categorized through facilities and segments. This report is submitted to
Senior Management on a weekly basis.

38
4. Economic sector ceiling

A yearly studies study/report conducted to analyze the portfolio of the bank to aggregate and monitor all
risk exposures and mainly to obtain a yearly approval from Riyad Bank Board for the ceilings that limits the
bank exposure towards the specific economic sectors in order to control the sectorial concentration risk.

Yearly ceilings are recommended considering the bank strategies as well as customers’ needs per sector.
The main predictions and plans for each coming year is based on the yearly budget of the Saudi
Government, additionally bank consider the utilization against each sector, risk and reward (yields and the
probability of default) within each sector. Recommendations (increase, maintain or decrease) is provided in
order to achieve better balanced distribution of exposures among different and various economic sectors.

The economic sector ceiling is continuously and frequently monitored on a monthly basis and reported to
the Board and Senior Management. Any exceptions to the rule are highlighted and reported immediately
along with remedial actions taken.

Table CRB: Additional disclosure related to the credit quality of assets

a) Scope and definitions of “past due” and “impaired” exposures


Default due to Non Payment
Basel II specifies that a default occurs when the client is past due for more than 90 days and more than 5%
credit obligation is overdue to the banking group. The outstanding obligation includes principal, Interest,
commission and penal fees, as applicable.

Default prior to reaching 90 Days Past Due Status


Default is said to have occurred when the Bank considers that an obligor is unlikely to repay its credit
obligations, even if on the default date the Obligor is not yet more than 90 days past due. The default on
one facility would classify the Obligor as default and all other facilities to the Obligor would be considered to
be in default.

Bank conducts assessment at each period end date to determine if there is any objective evidence that a
financial asset or group of financial assets may be impaired. Objective evidence of impairment may include
indications that the borrower is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in special
commission or principal payments, the probability that it will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganization.

Riyad Bank considers Exposures past-due more than 90-days but not considered impaired for accounting
purposes are considered as Defaulted and therefore are treated accordingly.

An exposure to a counterparty is deemed restructured when the counterparty is experiencing difficulty in


meeting its financial commitments and concessions are granted due to the counterparty’s financial
difficulty on any exposure whether on or off balance sheet item.

A forborne exposure are identified as such until the following exit criteria are fulfilled:
• When repayments as per revised terms have been made in a timely manner over a continuous repayment
period of not less than one year.
• The counterparty has solved its financial difficulties.

The definition of forbearance covers exposure of performing and non-performing status before the
granting of forbearance measurers.

b) The extent of past-due exposures (more than 90 days) that are not considered to be impaired and the
reasons for this.

These instances are normally substantiated by in-depth financial analysis and the management’s strong
conviction based on client’s prior credit experience and future indications that the borrower will honor his
obligations towards the Bank such as his ability to remedy temporary hiccup, collection of high quality
receivables, strong collateral that is placed for liquidation etc.

c) Description of methods used for determining impairments.

An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is objective evidence that a
financial asset or group of financial assets carried at amortized cost may be impaired. If such evidence
exists, the estimated recoverable amount of that asset is determined and any impairment loss, based on
the net present value of future anticipated cash flows, is recognised for changes in its carrying amounts.

42
Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a borrower,
restructuring of a loan or advance by the group on the terms that the Bank would not otherwise consider,
indications that a borrower or issuer will enter bankruptcy, the disappearance of active market for a security
or other observable data relating to a group of assets such as adverse changes in the payment status of
borrowers or issuers.

It may also include instances where Bank considers that the obligor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to
the Bank, in full, without recourse by the Bank to actions such as realizing the security, if held.

d) The bank’s own definition of a restructured exposure.


Restructuring occurs when there is a change or modification of the terms and conditions of the original
exposure contract. Restructuring may only occur in the form of either:

• Renegotiation/Refinancing/Rescheduling or
• Forbearance

The determination of whether restructuring results in forbearance or renegotiation is based on whether the
modified terms of the original exposure contract is concessionary, as a result of the financial difficulty of the
borrower.

Any modification in the Assets which are classified as Amortized Cost may lead to two scenarios – De-
recognition of Assets and continuance as Recognized Asset (No De-recognition).

The Bank does not prefer multiple times restructuring of contract with the counterparty, however, in
exceptional circumstances, if the Bank needs to do so, Obligor’s financial health will be evaluated and
accordingly the asset will be transferred to Stage 2 (Significant Increase in Credit Risk) or Stage 3 (De-
recognition/ Re-recognition) based on above mentioned criteria. Latest restructured Present Value of cash-
flow will be assessed against the previous restructured Present Value of cash-flow for the purposes of
determining, the amount of impairment.

In case the Modification of Asset does not result into De-recognition, the Bank will recalculate the gross
carrying amount of the asset by discounting the modified contractual cash-flows using EIR prior to the
modification. Any difference between the recalculated amount and the existing gross carrying amount will
be recognised in Profit or Loss for Asset Modification.

The asset will be provided appropriate treatment according to the identified staging after Asset
Modification i.e. 12 Month ECL for Stage 1, Lifetime ECL for Stage 2 and Default for Stage 3.

Table CRC: Qualitative disclosure requirements related to credit risk
mitigation techniques
a) Core features of policies and processes for, and an indication of the extent to which the bank makes
use of, on- and off-balance sheet netting.

Netting can reduce capital adequacy requirements by offsetting deposits held by the bank against financing
arrangements. However netting arrangements are not used by Riyad Bank unless the deposits need to be in
the form of collateral with a specific charge or lien on the deposit for any credit risk mitigation benefits to be
derived by Riyad Bank.

b) Core features of policies and processes for collateral evaluation and management
Collateral residual risk is monitored to manage valuation, maturity, enforceability, liquidity and marketability
of collaterals.

Acceptable collaterals are detailed as per Bank’s policy. Different classes of collaterals are subject to
independent policy guidelines and periodic valuation. Real Estate, Shares, Mutual Funds and Non- rated
Corporate Guarantees are not considered as eligible credit risk mitigants by local Regulator and are
excluded while calculating regulatory capital of the Bank.

- Collateral Valuation

Valuation is based on the current market value of the collateral. Documentation and Security Department
maintains and update the list of approved external valuers and surveyors on a frequent basis. They are
professionally qualified, reputable, experienced and competent valuers. Where required, or when in doubt,
Documentation and Security Department always ask collateral specialists to perform a check valuation.
External experts are pre-approved by the Credit Risk Management/Vendor management Department.
Collateral inspection reports are kept with Documentation Security Dept. in the documents File.

- On-going Collateral Monitoring and Management


Management monitors the market value of the collateral and requests additional collateral in accordance
with the underlying agreement when deemed necessary.

The administration and safe-keeping of the loan facilities documentation and collateral documentation
instruments is the responsibility of a specialized Credit Documentation & Security unit within the Credit
Control Department. The existence of appropriate signed collateral documentation prior to entering a
credit facility into the Bank’s limits systems is the responsibility of the Credit Documentation and Security
Department.

In addition to credit facility limit expiry dates, the expiry dates of any time-sensitive collateral/cover are
also captured. The notice period required for timely renewal of such cover or the presentation of claims
under the same is flagged for proper and timely notification. Credit Documentation & Security Department
maintains a collateral expiry agenda and notify Relationship Management in advance of upcoming collateral
events.

Timely re-appraisal of collateral values is notified by Documentation and Security Department. Such re-
appraisal frequencies are in accordance with the standard re-appraisal rules of the Bank.

Documentation and files of each credit facility are checked at least once a year at the review dates to
ensure that all authorizations, maturity dates, appraisals etc. are current and as they should be.

51
c) Credit risk concentrations

Riyad Bank strives to avoid excess credit risk concentrations in any single party, counterparty and industry
sector.

- Management of Credit Concentration Risk

Concentration risk refers to the risk arising from an uneven distribution of counterparties in credit or any
other business relationship or from concentration in business sectors or geographical regions. Accordingly,
concentration risk in the credit portfolios comes into being through a skewed distribution of loans to
individual borrowers (name concentration) or in industry / service sector (sector concentration).

- Types of Concentration Risk


Historical experience has shown that concentration of Credit Risk in asset portfolios has been one of the
key drivers of stress in the Banking sector. This is true for both individual institutions as well as the Banking
system at large. The importance of Concentration Risk in the Bank’s portfolio requires a separate
assessment to gauge the gap between Pillar 1 capital requirement and the actual underlying risk.

Concentration Risk refers to the risk arising from an uneven distribution of counterparties in credit or any
other business relationship or from concentration in business sectors or geographical regions. Accordingly,
Concentration Risk in the credit portfolios comes into existence through a skewed distribution of financing
to:

- Geographical regions (regional concentration);


- Collateral types (collateral concentration);

- Individual borrowers (name concentration) including assessment of connected party exposures;

- Industry / sector (sector concentration)

These aforesaid areas of concentration have also been highlighted by SAMA's guideline document on the
Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Plan (ICAAP).

- Coverage
The Bank ensures that the concentration risk assessment covers all of the portfolios, not limited to but
including the following asset classes

- Sovereign
- Banks and FIs
- Corporate

The following are the guidelines for managing and accessing concentration risk:

- Exposures to counterparty include its on- and off-balance sheet exposures and indirect exposures.

- Exposures arising from securities, foreign exchange, derivatives or other off-balance sheet exposures are
captured where appropriate;
- The criteria used for identifying a group of related persons has been identified;

- Large exposures are identified and reported separately as part of management reporting

- The circumstances in which the exposure limits can be exceeded and authority to approve such breaches
(e.g. the Board of directors) are clearly documented

- The individual and aggregate exposure limits for various types of counterparty (e.g. governments, banks,
corporate and individual borrowers) are made as part of normal management reporting.

Economic sector ceiling is set and regularly monitored to ensure that balance distributed loan portfolio is
built, and any potential industry / economic sector concentration is avoided.

Table CRD: Qualitative disclosures on banks’ use of external credit
ratings under the standardised approach for credit risk

a) "Names of the external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) and export credit agencies (ECAs)

The Bank uses Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch as External Credit Assessment Institutions (ECAIs) in
accordance with SAMA guidelines for determining the risk weights of Sovereigns, Public Sector Entities
(PSE), Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), Banks and Securities Firms and Corporate exposures. There
are no changes over the reporting period.

b) The asset classes for which each ECAI or ECA is used;

Eligible ECAIs are used for Sovereigns, Central Banks, Banks, Securities Firms and Corporate exposures,
when available. In accordance with the guidelines issued by the local Regulator, if a given exposure is rated
by two External Credit Assessment Institutions, then the lower rating is applied; in case any exposure is
rated by three External Credit Assessment Institutions, the two lowest ratings are referred to and the
higher of these two ratings is applied.

c) A description of the process used to transfer the issuer to issue credit ratings onto comparable assets
in the banking

Under the Standardized Approach, the Bank applies the issue specific risk weights where the bank’s claim is
not an investment in a specific assessed issue. The Bank use issue-specific assessment for cases where
specific debt ranks pari-passu or senior to the claim. The Bank fully complies with paragraph 99-101 of
BASEL II International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards dated June 2006. And in
cases, where borrower has an issuer assessment, this assessment typically applies to senior unsecured
claims on that issuer. Consequently, only senior claims on that issuer will benefit from a high quality issuer
assessment. Other unassessed claims of a highly assessed issuer are treated as unrated.

d) The alignment of the alphanumerical scale of each agency used with risk buckets.

ECAIs use alphanumerical scales to represent risk levels. Riyad Bank uses Saudi Central Bank’s prescribed
External Credit Assessment Institutions’ mapping tables issued by the local Regulator for Sovereign and
Central Banks, Banks and Securities Firms, as well as for Corporate exposures

The tool that bank has deployed to assess is referred to as ‘’Master Rating Scale’’( MRS). The MRS serves as
a consistent benchmark and label to group obligors with similar risk profiles into particular rating grades,
which in turn are associated with unique Probability of Defaults (PD). MRS facilitates a single view to risk
management for future reporting and portfolio management including limit setting, credit pricing and also
for capital computation. The MRS with a twenty three point scale has been formulated and benchmarked
against Moody’s MRS scale.

Table CCRA: Qualitative disclosure related to counterparty credit risk
a) Risk management objectives and policies related to counterparty credit risk, including:

Counterparty Limits
Riyad Bank has developed and implemented a credit risk management process to ensure prudent and timely risk
identification, quantification, monitoring and reporting of exposures. All counterparties are assessed in conjunction
with the Banks’s counterparty risk appetite benchmarks and internal risk matrix.

The Bank use appropriate reporting matrix and limits systems, have well developed and comprehensive stress testing,
and maintain systems that facilitate measurement and aggregation of Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) throughout the
organization.

Meaningful limits on CCR exposures are an important part of the risk management framework. The bank have an
appropriate independent exposure monitoring system that tracks exposures against established limits. Adequate risk
controls are in place to mitigate limit exceptions.

Pre-settlement risk is the credit risk associated with dealing room products before Settlement. It is generally based on
the "replacement value" (Mark-to-Market) plus "potential future" volatility concept.

Since 1st January, 2017 the bank has adopted a SA-CCR methodology introduced by Basel which calculates the EAD
according to the new Standardized Approach for CCR. The implemented risk system complies with SA-CCR exposure
computation methodology based on the framework issued by SAMA and BIS. The Bank has approved policies and
processes related to counterparty limits and exposure calculations.

Senior management and the board of directors are responsible for setting risk tolerances for CCR; measuring,
monitoring, and controlling CCR risk exposures; and developing and implementing effective policies and procedures.
Senior management receives comprehensive CCR exposure reports on a frequent basis.

The bank is subject to daily variation margining on its un-cleared derivatives exposures. Bank has established Margin
Policies and Practices which to help mitigate CCR exposure; the policies addresses establishment of processes and
periodical review minimum transfer amounts, eligible margining collateral, eligible currencies, minimum haircuts,
recognizing any volatility and liquidity concerns with underlying collateral. Policies also cover when CCR should lead to
the decision to require posted margin to be segregated. Additionally, bank have policies and procedures for monitoring
margin agreements involving third-party custodians that identify the location of the account where collateral is posted
and methods for gathering adequate documentation from the custodian to confirm collateral disposition

Credit valuation adjustment

The credit valuation adjustment is the capital charge for potential mark to market losses due to the credit quality
deterioration of a counterparty. The standardized approach uses the external credit rating of each counterparty and
includes the effective maturity and exposure at default.

Bank is applying non-IMM bank methodology to measure CVA capital charge since it uses SA-CCR (Standardised
counterparty credit risk) for measuring EAD of OTC Derivatives transactions. CVA charge for the Bank is not material.

57
b) The method used to assign the operating limits defined in terms of internal capital for counterparty credit
exposures and for CCP exposures
All exposures are subject to continuous monitoring of events/signals that could potentially lead to or indicate a
material change in risk.

Monitoring of compliance with limits for counterparty credit exposure is carried out by Risk Management on a daily
basis against applicable limits. Limit breaches are reported to senior management as well as to the Board of Directors if
the maximum exposure limit is exceeded.

Bank has developed and designed risk matrix for Financial Institutions (BACs and RACs) that sets target sectors,
minimum pricing guidelines, risk profile of the counterparty, nature of the product, Products Weighting, Tenor of
transaction and country of issue etc.

Establishment of Central Counter Party (CCP) is still work in progress at SAMA; however, SAMA has assessed and
published the list of the Foreign Qualifying CCPs (for G4 currencies i.e. US$, Euro, GBP, JPY) through which business
can be conducted. There is currently no qualified National CCP. However, in order to conduct business with CCP (G4
currencies) bank has engaged clearing broker who acted as bank's Clearing Broker and collateral is placed in an asset
segregated account with them. The trade will be cleared through them. Bank has established credit limit for this broker
services which is approved by the senior management committee.

c) Policies relating to guarantees and other risk mitigants and assessments concerning counterparty risk, including
exposures towards CCPs;
The bank has approved Collateral Management (CSA) policy which defines eligible collateral & currency, thresholds
related to minimum transfer amounts and rounding conventions.

All exposures with CCPs are subject to daily initial and variation margins and are closely monitored against mark to
market valuations of underlying transactions.

Riyad Bank reviews central counterparties where exposures exist. Such reviews include a due diligence evaluation of
the central counterparty’s risk management framework. For example, Bank reviews each central counterparty’s
membership requirements, guarantee fund contributions, margin practices, default-sharing protocols, and limits of
liability. Additionally, the Bank considers the counterparty’s procedures for handling the default of a clearing member,
obligations at post-default auctions, and post-default assignment of positions

d) Policies with respect to wrong-way risk (WWR) exposures;


WWR occurs when the exposure to a particular counterparty is positively correlated with the probability of default of
the counterparty itself. This is also governed by Financial Institution Matrix that has an inverse relationship. When the
counterparty rating has improved and credit risk is low it enjoys high operating limits to prevent wrong way risk. Riyad
Bank regularly assesses the potential exposure that the bank may have to wrong way risk which are likely to lead to this
risk.

e) The impact in terms of the amount of collateral that the bank would be required to provide given a credit rating
downgrade.
The Bank standard documentation in place that allows the Bank in case of credit rating downgrade, to embed impacts
of such downgrade in the covenant for monitoring purposes and also at the same time allows Riyad Bank to call
off/terminate such facility and request for additional collateral to mitigate such risk.

Risk management Objectives and Policies

Riyad Bank's market risk objectives are governed by Market Risk Management Framework, which provides the Bank's market risk
appetite and a robust market risk management. The framework is approved by the Board and sets out the objectives and
requirements of policies and procedures for Market Risk Management. Market Risk Guidelines provides roles & responsibilities of the
Bank's Senior Management and Market & Liquidity Risk Management Department for effective management of market risks in the
Bank's trading activates as per the appetite set by the Board.

a) Strategies and processes of the bank


The Bank's risk management strategy is to support the Bank's corporate and strategic objectives within the Risk Appetite set by the
Board through effective controls and monitoring.

The Bank's trading activities are guided by Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) within the strategic objective of market risk
averseness

The Bank maintains minimal trading positions through FX trading. Derivative trading positions are taken for the Bank’s customer
needs but are closed back to back to offset market risks arising from it. All trading positions are subject to Value-at-Risk and Stop-
Loss limits which is monitored and reported on a daily basis. All proprietary investments are classified in Banking Book to avoid the
increased market risk.
The Bank has and independent Market & Liquidity Risk Management Department (MLRM) within its Enterprise Risk Management
Division which is responsible for identification, measurement, monitoring and reporting of market risk. The function closely monitors
and reports inherent market risks related to the trading activities of the bank.

The bank allows limited products for hedging purposes to avoid complexity. The classification of each hedge deal is approved by
MLRM and the hedge effectiveness of all hedging and hedged instruments is monitored and reported on a regular basis.

b) Structure and organization of the market risk management function


Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO)

Riyad Bank ALCO oversees the effective management of the assets and liabilities of the bank in order to maximize shareholder value,
support business growth and optimize capital and its utilization. In doing so, it protects the institution from any adverse
consequences arising from changes in financial and non-financial risk. It ensures growth of the bank in line with the business strategy
and Board approved risk appetite.
Investment Committee

Riyad Bank maintains a substantial domestic and international investment portfolio to provide an alternative income source for the
Bank via investment in countercyclical investments which are expected to perform well during periods when more normal sources of
Bank income may not perform as well. The Investment Committee is responsible for establishing investment guidelines and
mandates (limits and parameters) for the investment managers who manage the portfolio, and for monitoring and reviewing the risks
and performance of this investment portfolio.

67
Market and Liquidity Risk Management Department comprises of -

i. Asset Liability Management Section

ALM section supports the Bank’s capital markets businesses and Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO). The section conducts
regular analysis of the Bank's interest rate and liquidity risks using simulation models. These measures include Net Interest Income at
Risk, Economic Value of Equity at Risk and Liquidity ratios which are reported to ALCO and the Board of Directors.

ii. Market Risk Management Section

Market Risk section covers the monitoring of market risk on the trading book, banking book, and the international investments
portfolio. The section also conducts a daily analysis of the risks on banking and trading book under stress scenarios along with a daily
back testing to record any breaches. The section is also responsible for the capital charge calculation and reporting the same under
normal and stressed conditions.

iii. Treasury Middle Office (TMO) Section

TMO independently monitors the risks and profitability of Treasury. It ensures the segregation and integrity of key reporting
processes especially the market rate revaluation process, and ensures that Treasury complies with the approved limits structure. It
also assists Treasury with business and systems developments.

c) Risk Reporting

Risks and control effectiveness are reported to management to ensure that managers within the business lines, and at senior levels,
for a more informed decision making process. As the first line of defense, it is the responsibility of line managers, and senior
managers, to be able to manage risks in accordance with Board approved risk appetite.

Risk reports are provided to managers and senior management on regular basis (e.g. monthly, weekly etc.) to ensure that
management has the opportunity to assure themselves that risk positions are within limits and in line with the Bank’s current
strategy. Typically, these would be provided to senior management on a monthly or weekly basis for the purposes of holding the
various Risk Committee meetings and reviews. Line managers, supervisors and staff directly responsible for managing risk on a day
to day basis, would obviously receive full positions reports on a much more frequent basis.

The general policy within Riyad Bank is for risk issues to be raised with the line manager first, then to escalate it to the senior manager
responsible for that area. Risk matters are also escalated to the relevant risk committee, either immediately if critical, or as part of
the normal reporting process, if less urgent. If insufficient action is taken as a result of this reporting and escalation process, staff
and risk managers have the authority to take matters further, such as to the Chief Risk Officer, to the Chief Executive Officer, to
Internal Audit Department, or in very extreme cases, to the Board of Directors office or to external auditors.

Independent risk reporting is also a key component of the risk reporting controls. Separation between the group creating the risk
(the risk taking business unit) and the unit reporting the risk level (the risk monitoring unit) is very common throughout the Bank.
Internal Audit periodically assess this fundamental segregation of duties within the Bank. Risk Management Division also takes this
into account when assessing the risk within business units. Much of the Bank’s risk reporting is prepared and delivered by various
units within the Risk Management Division as an independent check.

For Enterprise-wide risk reporting purposes, a tabular risk weight was developed to provide comprehensive description of the risk
coverage in the Bank. It is based on all risk types relevant to the Bank and how each respective risk weight is governed, evaluated,
managed, monitored and reported within the Bank as well as the frequency of such reporting.

The Bank deploys adequate risk management systems for the effective measurement, monitoring and reporting. For market risk,
Kamakura Risk Manager (KRM) is used by the Bank which is widely acknowledged and used for Value at Risk and other risk measures
such as Net Interest income at Risk and Economic Value of Equity at Risk. The systems are regularly assessed and upgraded for
improvement in risk measurement and adherence to regulatory changes.

Table IRRBBA – IRRBB risk management objectives and policies
Qualitative disclosure

Interest Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) is the risk to Riyad Bank’s earnings and capital that arises out of customers’ demands for
a interest rate related products with various repricing profiles. As Riyad Bank engages in such activities as lending, balance sheet
funding and capital management, it may be exposed to the inherent Interest Rate, Foreign Exchange and Liquidity risks.

Riyad Bank manages Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB) within its established Net Interest Income at Risk (NII@R) and
Economic Value of Equity at Risk (EVE) limit that are measured and monitored by Risk Management Division and reported to the Asset
and Liability Committee and to the Board.
b
The strategies used to mitigate the stressed IRRBB are through the Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP) mechanism, the management of
interest rate risk is taken out of the hands of the business units and entrusted to the Treasury /Balance Sheet Management units. The
Treasury /Balance Sheet Management performs analysis of the risks inherent in the balance sheet based on the calculations provided
by the Market and Liqudity Risk Management (M&LRM), and determines appropriate hedging strategies in consultation with the ALCO
and then executes those strategies.

The periodicity of calculation of bank's IRRBB measures is monthly. The bank uses interest income at risk and economic value of equity
c
at risk to gauge and a description of the specific measures that the bank uses to gauge its sensitivity to IRRBB.

While the Basel committee recommends a 200 bps parallel shifts for stress testing purpose, the bank uses seven interest rate shock
scenarios to gauge the change in its economic value and earnings; +/- 100 bps and +/- 200 bps; +/- 400 bps ramp (12 months period to
d
achieve an increase of 400 bps for all terms) and one rotation (6 months period to achieve an increase of short term rates by 50bps up to 6
months term).

Re-pricing and yield curve risks were determined to be the predominant risk categories affecting the Bank. The risk exposure to the
embedded options like early redemptions and delays, is not material
e and hence has not been considered over the past years. Based on the behavioral trends it has been concluded that options risk
(excluding prepayments) is not currently significant for the Bank and hence
can be excluded from the capital allocation process for interest rate risk at present.

Strategies to mitigate IRRBB include the use of cash and derivative instruments. In the case of significant and fast parallel shifts in
rates in either direction, the alternative products available to the Bank are:
1. Buy/Sell long/short term government securities or bonds
2. Liquidate some Investments
3. Buy/Sell futures
4. Buy/Sell forwards

REMA – Remuneration policy (Compensation & Incentives Policy)

Introduction

Riyad Bank’s compensation and incentives policy is the foundation upon which its base pay, incentive pay, allowances and
benefits programs are built. They are underpinned by the performance management process.

Both external and internal equity are important in developing, administering and maintaining the salary management
program. Market competitive pay is important in attracting, retaining and engaging the highest quality and caliber of
employees.
RB has a salary management program that supports its strategic business objectives, that is externally competitive and
internally equitable, and is designed to provide compensation opportunities based on performance.

RB is committed to varying compensation – base pay and incentive rewards – based on company, business and individual
performance. The appropriate mix of base pay and incentives depends on a job’s duties, competitive practices versus the
KSA banking sector market and grade level.
RB views performance as a combination of results and behavioural competence. While the emphasis is on achieving and
exceeding goals, superior performance will also include behaviours and activities consistent with RB’s purpose, values and
adherence to prudent risk management policies.
RB communicates openly the basic principles of the salary management and performance evaluation programs so that
they are clearly understood, supported and perceived as fair by employees.
