Article 428j Residual Maturity of a Liability or of Own Funds

1.

Unless otherwise specified in this Chapter 3 of Title IV (The Net Stable Funding Ratio), institutions shall take into account the residual contractual maturity of their liabilities and own funds to determine the available stable funding factors to be applied under Section 2.

2.

Institutions shall take into account existing options in determining the residual maturity of a liability or of own funds in a prudent manner. They shall do so on the assumption that the counterparty will redeem call options at the earliest possible date. For options exercisable at the discretion of the institution, the institution shall take into account reputational factors that may limit an institution's ability not to exercise the option, in particular market expectations that institutions should redeem certain liabilities before their maturity.

3.

Institutions shall treat deposits with fixed notice periods in accordance with their notice period, and shall treat term deposits in accordance with their residual maturity. By way of derogation from paragraph 2 of this Article, institutions shall not take into account options for early withdrawals where the depositor has to pay a material penalty for early withdrawals which occur in less than one year, such penalty being laid down in Chapter 2 of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (CRR) Part of the PRA Rulebook, to determine the residual maturity of term retail deposits.

4.

In order to determine the available stable funding factors to be applied under Section 2, institutions shall treat any portion of liabilities having a residual maturity of one year or more that matures in less than six months and any portion of such liabilities that matures between six months and less than one year as having a residual maturity of less than six months and between six months and less than one year, respectively.
