XIII. RISK MANAGEMENT

Ensuring a responsible, prudent and profitable banking activity first and foremost requires

the identification, assessment, monitoring and managing of significant risks.

Significant risks are determined conditional upon the nature, volume and complexity of the

activities unfolded by the bank.

In this respect, the risks which may strongly impact the patrimonial status and/or the

reputation of the bank, that BCR Chisinau S.A. considers significant risks are: credit, market,

liquidity, operational and reputational risks.

For a proper management of significant risks, the bank uses:

a system of procedures for the authorization of operations affected by the respective

risks, consisting in the drawing up of credit approval competences/ pouvoirs for: the

granting of loans and credit-type products, interbank placements, operations with

derivatives, etc.;

a risk exposures reporting system, as well as additional aspects related to these risks, to

the proper management levels (reports on the bank’s exposure to significant risks, the

compliance with the risk limits drawn up by the bank etc.),;

a system of responsibilities, policies, norms and procedures on internal control at bank

level;

a system for the management of legal risk and compliance risk;

criteria for the recruitment and remuneration of personnel, including criteria drawn up in

order to avoid conflicts of interest, which should stipulate high training, experience and

integrity standards;

personnel training programs;

The risk management activity is consolidated under the Finance and Risk functional line. In

these terms, risk management specialists are clearly delimited from an organizational point of view

from the employees who have responsibilities in the business development area.

The bank properly assigns attributions to all its organizational levels, making sure that the

personnel does not have responsibilities which might lead to conflicts of interest (e.g. dual

responsibilities for one individual, such as: the unfolding of both front-office and back-office activities,

approval of fund drawings and performing the respective drawings, the assessment of the credit

documentations and the monitoring of the client after the latter has obtained the loan, etc.).

Credit risk, being the risk of losses or of failing to achieve the estimated profit, due to the

inability of counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations, is the main risk faced by the bank due to

the fact that more than 50% of the assets are loans.

The main risk management focus will be on an active management of the lending book, on

the improvement of the asset quality (keeping NPL under control) and setting the basis for a healthy

growth of loan portfolio.

In the context of the global financial crisis, BCR Chisinau S.A. establishes limits on

countries, sovereign entities, banks and financial institutions affiliated to bank groups, closely

monitors its exposures, performing risk analysis whenever negative information emerge on one of its

counterparties and putting forth adequate measures with respect to the risk limits assigned.

Page 26: Annual report for the year 2014 - BCR24 26 27 BCR Chişinău – Annual Report 2014 pag. 3 of 31 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2014 BCR Chișinău S.A. has finalised the restructuring process

BCR Chişinău – Annual Report 2014 pag. 26 of 31

Market risk is the risk of registering losses or of failing to achieve the estimated profits due

to the market fluctuation of prices, interest rates and exchange rates.

The bank pays special attention to the identification of the market risk sources, evaluation of

its risk exposure and setting a proper limits for market risk mitigation/limitation, having as an objective

assurance of a proper structure of its portfolio in the way that the change of interest rates, FX rates

and market prices won’t have an important negative impact on BCR Chisinau S.A. activity and

financial performance.

Liquidity risk represents the risk of registering losses or of failing to achieve the estimated

profits due to the impossibility of credit institutions to honor their short-term payment obligations at

any point, without there being any costs or losses which may not be covered by the respective

institution.

The administration of liquidity risks envisages the ensuring of the necessary liquid funds

enabling the bank to cover its financial obligations at any point, to maintain a proper liquidity level for

all time buckets and the maximization of the net income obtained from interests. The bank pays

special attention to the identification of the liquidity risk sources, to the assessment of the bank’s

exposure to this risk and to the drawing up of the appropriate risk limits.

Operational risk represents the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal

processes, people and systems or from external events. Operational risk also includes legal risk, but

excludes strategic and reputational risk.

The management of operational risks seeks to ensure the internal framework which enables

the identification, assessment, monitoring and undertaking of appropriate measures in order to

decrease the operational losses.

Reputational risk represents the ongoing or potential risk of negative profit and capital,

entailed by the unfavorable perception of the bank’s image by clients, counterparties, shareholders,

investors or monitoring bodies.

When assessing legal and reputation risk, the bank considers the ongoing legal and

regulatory framework, including the one applicable to the social domain, as well as any other

elements which might affect the activities. The management of reputational risks seeks to ensure the

internal framework enabling the bank to identify, assess, monitor and undertake the necessary

measures in order to prevent the losses generated by this risk.

commercial capabilities and consolidation of internal control systems. The total number of employees
