New Rules, New Game
• Basel III, the BCBS response to the financial crash of 2008 – Builds on systemic risk reduction efforts of Basel I and II – Adds liquidity and leverage standards to capital adequacy
• Directly affects banks, the banks will shift the impact to key treasury services such as: – Cash pooling and concentration – Short term funding and investment
• The effect is magnified for global treasuries because of the G-SIB designation of large providers – Will be felt unevenly due to varying bucket assessments

Product View of the Balance Sheet
• Higher equity translates to higher cost of credit products
• Specific liquidity requirements translate to new pricing of depository services
• Leverage requirements translate to new pricing of other services

• Client value to bank – Operational deposits under 30 days – Deposits over 30 days – Non-operational deposits under 30 days – Potential threat to hub and spoke cash management structures
• Impact on liquidity management products – Gross values of pooling participant accounts may be required – Potential universal requirement for cross-guarantees in pooling
structures – Impact on use of indigenous/global bank model is unclear – Unknown impact on global banks leveraging priority or strategic
banking partners – Too early to answer many of these questions
Liquidity Management – Deposits

• Costs will change – More direct link between risk rating and cost – Long term lending will become more challenging given
need for stable deposits
• Capital and liability requirements will reduce ability to create assets (loans) l
• Overdraft finance will become more expensive • Backup/undrawn lines will become more
expensive
Liquidity Management – Borrowing

Risk Management
• Hedging and the credit value adjustment (CVA) – The CVA is the difference between the value of a derivative
assuming the counterparty is default risk-free and the value of a derivative reflecting the default risk of the counterparty
– The US interpretation of CVA differs from the EU interpretation of CVA
– Hedging costs will change and vary by domicile of contract
• Basel III piles onto EMIR and Dodd Frank for OTC derivatives – Highly complex in terms of calculations and interactions – Net result is that OTC derivatives will cost more
• Basel III impact – Risk matters more – New calculations apply

Trade Finance
• Trade finance instruments (LCs and BAs)have not been a source of leverage for banks – Risk profile is much lower – Fully collateralized – Lower leverage and run-off requirements
• Basel III treats trade finance products as regular loans – Will be included in calculating a bank’s leverage ratio – Will also impact liquidity ratios but level of impact is still unclear
• Trade finance instruments will incur higher capital and funding costs – May have a negative impact on trade for developing countries as
indigenous banks could pull back – Non-bank products may become an alternative

Relationship Management
• Compliance costs – Diminish as a share of total revenue for large relationships
• Type and usage of bank products and services – Retailers using multiple collection banks may experience higher costs,
incentive for electronic payments – Credit facilities will be sized more carefully and monitored by both
sides – Credit ratings of bank and client will matter more
• Total relationship matters – Banks incented to focus on fewer, lower risk and more profitable
customers – Poorly performing relationships are at risk given regulatory focus on
capital – Treasury management business will become even more valuable for
banks

Bank ratings, customer concentration,
investment instruments
Identify counterparty exposure
Review and update

RAROC Analysis
• RAROC = Risk Adjusted Return On Capital • Developed as a profitability tool for banks
– Includes all elements of the relationship, not just those managed by treasury
– Assigns risk rating to each of these elements – Compares total risk to total return
• The formula: risk adjusted return divided by risk-adjusted capital required for the return – Accounts for the capital needed to support relationship
• Used in one form or another by virtually all banks

Key Lessons
• Basel III is aimed at financial institutions – Will have follow on impact for corporates – Exact nature is still unclear but EU/US divergence shows the
potential for adventure
• There will be confusion • Basic housekeeping
– Develop accurate picture of current treasury management practices – Eliminate unnecessary excess lines, OD protections and hedging
operations – Communicate your intentions and needs to counterparties – Perform bank spend analysis
• Further action – RAROC analysis – Banking continuity plan
