    This image displays the Downgrade Impact Amount for Other Liabilities.

Note:

Any liability account that is triggered due to a particular level of rating downgrade has an outflow corresponding to a pre-specified percentage of the downgrade impact amount. For instance, if a 3-notch downgrade is specified, then the downgrade impact amount will outflow only for those accounts that have a trigger of 1-notch, 2-notches, and 3-notches. If a 2-notch downgrade is specified, then the downgrade impact amount will outflow only for those accounts that have a trigger of 1-notch and 2-notches. The rating downgrade and the outflow percentage as specified by the regulator are part of the pre-configured business assumptions for LCR calculations.
