Counterparty risk: banking sector is still affected by uncertainty and mistrust

With the extension of the European sovereign crisis uncertainty and mistrust concerning the credit standing of banks reached new all time highs: > RWE’s internal reference index* for bank CDS reached all time high end of 2011 > CDS spreads are extremely volatile and react nervous on market rumours > For several months especially CDS spreads

  • f Spanish and Italian banks are under

pressure > ECB's move to cut its deposit rate to zero led to negative short term deposit quotes > Banks with strong credit standing are reluctant to accept deposits from corporates Observations at the credit market

* The reference index used is the average 5y CDS of 29 large banks which are systemically important financial institutions according to the Financial Stability Board (FSB).

Rating CDS Equity

RWE adjusts bank limit allocation due to changing market conditions

> RWE’s internal base limit for the counterparty risk is derived from the amount of equity and the rating of the financial counterparty > Minimum rating of the three rating agencies S&P, Moody’s and Fitch is considered. However, general rating downshift

  • f banking sector has been considered by slight reduction
  • f rating requirements for credit limits

> Reference index has been changed from iTraxx Senior Financials to the average 5y CDS of the 29 so called system relevant banks > The basis limit is reduced if the CDS of the counterparty is higher than the reference index > Bank exposures and limits are updated daily > O/N deposits are moved to banks with lower CDS levels or into money market funds invested in strong government securities
