Capital Adequacy

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) has prescribed the minimum risk sensitive capital, and effective from 1 January 2008, required the Bank to compute the minimum capital in accordance with the ‘International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards - a Revised Framework’ (BASEL II). The aim is to ensure minimum capital,commensurate with risks assumed by the Bank, is maintained as a buffer to absorb credit, market & operational losses in the foreseeable future.

The core capital ratio is expressed as total Tier I capital as a percentage of total risk weighted assets.

The total capital adequacy ratio is expressed as total Tier I capital and Tier II capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets.

Basis of Computation

The composition of capital and risk weights assigned to the on and off balance sheet assets are as prescribed by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.

The Tier I capital of the Bank consists of the stated capital, retained earnings and other reserves after deducting intangible assets, 50 % of the investments in unconsolidated banking and financial subsidiaries and 50% investments in capital of other banks and financial institutions.

The Tier II capital of the Bank includes CBSL approved subordinated term debts, 50% of the revaluation reserve and the general loan loss provision after deducting 50% of the investments in unconsolidated banking and financial subsidiaries and 50% investments in capital of other banks and financial institutions.

In arriving at the Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) of the Bank, the Standardized Approach for credit risk, Standardized Measurement Method for market risk and the Basic Indicator Approach for operational risk have been used.
