46. CAPITAL ADEQUACY, LEVERAGE RATIO & LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS ------- (Rupees in '000) -------
The SBP through its BSD Circular No. 07 dated April 15, 2009 has prescribed the minimum paid-up capital (net of
accumulated losses) for Banks to be raised to Rs.10,000 million by the year ending December 31, 2015. The paid-up
capital of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2018 stood at Rs.12,241.798 million (2017: Rs.12,241.798 million)
and is in compliance with SBP requirements. Banks are also required to maintain a minimum Capital Adequacy Ratio
(CAR) of 10.0% plus capital conservation buffer of 1.90% of the risk weighted exposures of the Bank. Further, under Basel
III instructions, Banks are also required to maintain a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET 1) ratio and Tier 1 ratio of 6.0% and
7.5%, respectively, as at December 31, 2018. As at December 31, 2018 the Bank is fully compliant with prescribed ratios
as the Bank’s CAR is 17.74% whereas CET 1 and Tier 1 ratios stood at 12.37% and 13.38% respectively. The Bank and
its individually regulated operations have complied with all capital requirements throughout the year.
Furthermore, under the SBP’s Framework for Domestic Systematically Important Banks (D-SIBs) introduced vide BPRD
Circular No. 04 of 2018 dated April 13, 2018, UBL has been designated as a D-SIB. Under this framework, the Bank is
required to meet the Higher Loss Absorbency capital charge of 1.5%, in the form of Additional CET 1 capital, on a
standalone as well as consolidated level. The additional capital requirement shall be effective from the end of March 2019.
Under the current capital adequacy regulations, credit risk and market risk exposures are measured using the Standardized
Approach and operational risk is measured using the Basic Indicator Approach. Credit risk mitigants are also applied
against the Bank’s exposures based on eligible collateral under comprehensive approach.
