8.3.3.1 Intraday Drawdown

This assumption enables banks to provide correspondent banking services only. The payment system participants value intraday credit on electronic funds transfer networks because payments and receipts are not perfectly synchronized. In addition, it eliminates the necessity of holding clearing balances large enough to cover all expected outflows of funds.

When a customer bank is in stress, to maintain adequate liquidity, the customer may resort to excessive drawdown of Intraday credit lines.

In the following example, the correspondent bank has 5 customers. Under normal conditions, credit lines extended to customers and usage are as follows:

Table 7-41 Customer list sample

Normal Conditions
Financial Institution Customer Intra-day Credit Line Extended Intraday Usage Secured Committed Usage of Secured Usage of Committed
Bank O 85 70 40 50 31 21
Bank E 80 60 25 10 26 30
Bank M 45 30 30 40 21 6
Bank G 35 25 30 30 12 13
Bank Z 30 20 15 20 12 17
TOTAL 275 205 140 150 102 87

One or more of the customer banks may be under stress, due to which maximum drawdown of Intraday credit lines may occur. The application supports following dimensional inputs:

  • Percentage of Drawdown
  • Respective Customers

In the above example, two customer banks are assumed to be under stress-Bank E, Bank O. Under this example, 100% drawdown of credit lines by the customer is assumed. Hence the credit lines extended and used under stressed conditions are as follows:

Table 7-42 List of banks and the customers

Stress Conditions
Financial Institution Customer Intra-day Credit Line Extended Intraday Usage Secured Committed Usage of Secured Usage of Committed
Bank O 85 85 40 50 40 50
Bank E 80 80 25 10 25 10
Bank M 45 30 30 40 21 6
Bank G 35 25 30 30 12 13
Bank Z 30 20 15 20 12 17
TOTAL 275 240 140 150 110 96

Similarly, the application computes ‘Peak Usage’ for both normal conditions and stressed conditions.

When a drawdown assumption is applied at higher level of time buckets, a single assignment within any level zero buckets of the said amount is considered. An example is as follows:

  • Primary bucket (level 3): 08:00 – 09:00, level zero buckets being minutes
  • Offset Bucket (Level 3):16:00- 17:00
  • Available balance: 1000, assumption value= 40%

An amount of 400 is the outflow in the primary bucket and an inflow in the offset bucket for banks providing credit lines to its customers. This amount is allocated as a single amount in any level zero time bucket which constitutes primary and offset buckets; like 08:03( outflow 400) and 16:06( inflow 400) ;or 08:44 (outflow 400) and 16:02 (inflow 400).
