7.1.8 Calculation of Forward Liquidity Coverage Ratio
Once the forward balances and cash flows are computed for multiple forward dates as part of the forward date liquidity risk contractual Run, the application computes the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) in a manner similar to that followed for the spot calculations currently. The calculation of LCR is done as part of the BAU Run where the regulatory scenario is applied and its impact on inflows, outflows and stock of HQLA is assessed. The application currently supports forward LCR calculation as per US Federal Reserve and the pre-packaged US regulatory scenario can be used to compute forward LCR under regulatory inflow and outflow rates. For details on LCR computations as per US Federal Reserve, refer OFS Liquidity Risk Regulatory Calculations for US Federal Reserve User Guide on OHC Documentation Library.
The application also allows users to apply stress scenarios over and above the baseline regulatory scenario in order to assess the impact of stress of varying magnitudes on a bank’s LCR. This is as per the current stress testing functionality supported by OFS Liquidity Risk Management. Refer to section Run Type, of the OFS Liquidity Risk Measurement and Management User Guide on OHC Documentation Library for more details on stress testing.
