Title

Finantsinspektsiooni järelevalveline hinnang kapitalile ja AS-i LHV Group sisemised kapitalieesmärgid

Message

Detsembris esitas Finantsinspektsioon AS-le LHV Group järelevalvelise hinnangu
ja täiendava omavahendite nõude (SREP) kapitali adekvaatsuse arvutuses.
Võrreldes eelmise hinnanguga otsustas Finantsinspektsioon tõsta AS-i LHV Group
jaoks Pillar 2 kapitalinõudeid ja kapitalisuunist. Lisaks on Eesti Pank
otsustanud LHV turuosa kasvu põhjendusel tõsta AS-i LHV Group süsteemselt
olulisuse puhvrit 0,5% võrra. Detsembris tõstis Eesti Pank ka vastutsüklilisuse
puhvri 1% tasemele ja teavitas plaanist tõsta seda aasta pärast veel 0,5
protsendipunkti võrra

Vastavalt Finantsinspektsiooni otsusele rakendub AS-le LHV Group konsolideeritud
tasemel täiendav omavahendite nõue summas 3,40%, millest vähemalt 1,91% peab
olema kaetud esmase taseme põhiomavahenditega ja vähemalt 2,55% kaetud esmase
taseme omavahenditega.

Finantsinspektsiooni hinnangust lähtudes ning lisades sellele sisemised puhvrid,
otsustas AS-i LHV Group nõukogu kehtestada minimaalseks koguomavahendite
suhtarvuks 19,20%, minimaalseks esmase taseme omavahendite suhtarvuks 16,35%
ning minimaalseks esimese taseme põhiomavahendite suhtarvuks 14,20%.

Antud suhtarvude komponentide jaotus on järgmine:

Title

Outcome of Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process by the FSA and AS LHV Group’s internal capital targets

Message

In December, the Estonian FSA, Finantsinspektsioon, presented AS LHV Group with
the outcome of Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP) capital adequacy
calculation. In comparison with the previous evaluation the FSA decided to raise
the Pillar 2 capital requirements and guidelines for AS LHV Group. In addition,
because of the growth of LHV's market share Bank of Estonia has decided to
increase systemic importance buffer by 0.5%. In December, Bank of Estonia raised
the counter-cyclical buffer to the level of 1% and announced the plan to raise
it in a years' time by another 0,5 percentage points.

According to the decision of the FSA, an additional requirement for own funds in
the amount 3.40% applies to AS LHV Group, of which at least 1.91% must be
covered by Core Tier 1 own funds and at least 2.55% by Tier 1 capital.

The Supervisory Board of AS LHV Group based on the FSA decision and adding to it
internal buffers decided to set total CAD target ratio at 19.20%, Tier 1 ratio
at 16.35% and Core Tier 1 ratio to 14.20%.
