Liquidity Monitoring

Reporting Requirements for

Nepalese Banks and Financial Institutions

1. Ratio Approach: Liquid Assets to Short Term Liabilities

Liquid Assets to Short term Liabilities = Unencumbered Liquid Assets * 100

Short term Liabilities coming due in 30 days

For the liquidity monitoring purpose, Liquid assets are defined as;

Liquid Assets is the sum of;

Cash
Bank Balance
Money at calls at short notice
Investment in Government Securities and Reverse Repo
Placement up to 30 days

Liquid assets should include unencumbered liquid assets only. Unencumbered assets are those assets which are
free from any debt obligation and can be easily sold or mortgaged.

Short term liabilities/Cash outflows

Similarly short-term liabilities are the immediate obligations of the banks. Banks and
financial institutions should have sufficient liquid assets to meet expected outflows over the
next 30 days.

Total short term liabilities (cash outflows) are total expected outflows over the next 30-day
period. Each item will have an assumed 30-days outflow based on the defined contractual
obligation. Short term liabilities in the above ratio include;

On balance sheet item:

20% of Current Deposit
15% of Saving Deposit
50% of Call Deposit
100 % of Margin Deposits to be paid within next 30 days
100% of Fixed Deposit maturing in next 30 days
100 % of borrowing from the NRB which should be paid in next 30 days
100% of borrowings from other Banks and financial Institutions maturing in next 30 days
All other contractual obligations coming due within 30 days
Off balance sheet items:
100% of LC amount to be settled within next 30 days.
100% of Irrevocable loan commitments
100% of Acceptance liabilities maturing within next 30 days.

A bank having sufficient pool of liquid assets to cover its liability shall be considered a bank
having satisfactory liquidity position. Quantifying same principle, when liquid assets to short
term liabilities is more than 100%, the bank has sufficient liquid assets to meet its obligation
reflecting a comfortable scenario in terms of liquidity. The ratio shall be monitored on a
weekly basis. Other Liquid assets and liabilities, which are not defined, should be included
on the remaining term to maturity.

Reporting Requirement: The report should cover the assets and liability portion as stated
above from Sunday to Friday of every week.
