## NSFR FORMULA

NSFR = Available Stable Funding (ASF) / Required Stable Funding (RSF) >= 100%

Purpose: Ensure banks maintain a stable funding profile over a 1-year time horizon,
reducing dependence on short-term wholesale funding that evaporated in 2008.

| **NSFR**                                 |            |        | **150.6%**   |

In this example NSFR = 37,200 / 24,700 = 150.6% — well above the 100% minimum.

## NSFR INTERPRETATION

NSFR > 100%: Stable funding surplus. Bank can absorb funding stress for > 1 year.
NSFR 100–105%: Meeting minimum but limited buffer. Review funding strategy.
NSFR < 100%: Regulatory breach. Immediate remediation required.

Management targets: Most major banks target 105–115% NSFR.

## NSFR vs. LCR — KEY DISTINCTION

LCR: Measures ability to survive a 30-day acute stress (short-term liquidity)
NSFR: Measures structural funding stability over 1 year (medium-term liquidity)
A bank can pass LCR but fail NSFR if it has short-term HQLA but mismatched
long-term funding (long assets, short liabilities structurally).
Both metrics are required simultaneously — they address different risk horizons.

## ENCUMBERED ASSETS

Encumbered assets (pledged as collateral, subject to repo, in securitisation pool)
receive a RSF factor based on the remaining term of the encumbrance:
Encumbered for >= 1 year: 100% RSF
Encumbered for 6 months–1 year: the RSF factor of unencumbered equivalent
Encumbered for < 6 months: the RSF factor of unencumbered equivalent

## COMMON NSFR MANAGEMENT ACTIONS

When NSFR is under pressure, banks typically consider:

- Issue longer-term debt (converts 0% ASF short-term into 100% ASF long-term)
- Grow retail deposit base (95% ASF factor vs 0% for short-term wholesale)
- Reduce long-dated illiquid assets (lowers RSF requirement)
- Securitise mortgage or loan portfolios (removes assets from balance sheet)
- Increase central bank reserve holdings (0% RSF, funded by term liabilities)

## NEVER DO THESE

- NEVER confuse NSFR with LCR — NSFR addresses 1-year structural funding, LCR addresses 30-day acute stress; using LCR factors for NSFR calculation produces materially wrong results
- NEVER assign a non-zero ASF factor to short-term wholesale funding from financial institutions (< 6 months) — the factor is 0% because this funding is assumed to disappear entirely in stress
- NEVER ignore the RSF charge on off-balance-sheet committed facilities — the 5% RSF factor applies to the full undrawn amount and is material for banks with large commitment books
- NEVER treat encumbered assets the same as unencumbered — encumbered assets receive 100% RSF if the encumbrance exceeds 1 year, regardless of the underlying asset quality
