42.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the potential earnings volatility arising from being unable to fund portfolio assets at reasonable rates over required maturities. Liquidity obligations arise from
withdrawals of deposits, repayments of purchased funds at maturity, extensions of credit and working capital needs. The Bank seeks to manage its liquidity to meet its obligations
under normal as well as adverse circumstances, and take advantage of arising lending opportunities.
The primary tool of monitoring liquidity is the maturity mismatch analysis, which is monitored over successive time bands and across major functional currencies. This is
tested under normal and adverse market scenario conditions.
The China Asset and Liability Committee is the primary parties responsible for liquidity management based on framework approved by the Board Audit Committee ‘BAC’.
Limits are set on maturity mismatches over books under normal scenarios and liquidity ratios. As part of its liquidity risk management, the Bank focuses on a number of
components, including maintaining sufficient liquid assets, maintaining diversified sources of liquidity, preserving necessary funding capacity and contingency planning.
