45.4 Liquidity risk

Funding liquidity risk or liquidity risk is defined as the current and prospective risk arising from the inability of the Bank to meet its contractual or regulatory obligations when they come due without incurring substantial losses. Liquidity obligations arise from withdrawals of deposits, repayments of purchased funds at maturity, extensions of credit and working capital needs. The Bank seeks to project, monitor and manage its liquidity needs under normal as well as adverse circumstances. The primary tool of monitoring liquidity risk is the maturity mismatch analysis, which presents the profile of future expected cashflows under defined scenarios. This is monitored over successive time bands and across major functional currencies under normal and adverse market scenario conditions. China ALCOMRC is the primary parties responsible for liquidity management based on framework approved by China BAC. Limits are set on maturity mismatches over books under normal and stress scenarios and liquidity ratios. As part of liquidity management, the Group will set limits to ensure that the funding requirements will not exceed the available funding and liquid assets available for both normal and stress scenarios. As part of its management of liquidity risk inherent in its derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities, the Bank focuses on a number of components. These include maintaining sufficient liquid assets, maintaining diversified sources of liquidity, and having robust internal control processes and contingency plans.
