2 Liquidity and refinancing risk

Liquidity risk is defined as a situation where present and future payment obligations cannot be fully met or met on time, or in the event of a liquidity crisis refinancing funds may only be available at increased market rates (refinancing costs) or assets can only be made liquid at markdowns to market rates (market liquidity risk).

2.1 Liquidity risk management

Processes and organisational structures ensure that liquidity risks are identified, uniformly measured, controlled and monitored, as well as being included in risk reporting. The liquidity risk regulations, which include the LLB Group’s risk tolerance criteria, are regularly reviewed by the Group Executive Board and approved by the Group Board of Directors. The liquidity risk limits to be observed by the LLB Group are stipulated in the regulations.

The objectives of the LLB Group’s liquidity risk management include the following points:

  • the ability to meet financial obligations at all times
  • compliance with regulatory provisions
  • optimisation of the refinancing structure
  • optimisation of payment streams within the LLB Group.

2.2 Valuation of liquidity risks

In our liquidity risk management concept, scenario analysis plays a central role. This includes the valuation of the liquidity of assets, i. e. the liquidity characteristics of our asset holdings in various stress scenarios.

2.3 Contingency planning

The LLB Group’s liquidity risk management encompasses a contingency plan. The contingency plan includes an overview of emergency measures, sources of alternative financing and governance in stress situations.

2.4 Monitoring and reporting of liquidity risks

Group Credit & Risk Management monitors compliance with liquidity risk limits and is responsible for reporting on liquidity risks.

The following tables show the maturities according to contractual periods, separated according to derivative and non-derivative financial instruments as well as off-balance sheet transactions.

The values of derivative financial instruments represent replacement values. All other values correspond to nominal values, i. e. possible interest and coupon payments are included.
