2. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT OF THE GROUP
Operating Environment. Uzbekistan economy displays characteristics of an emerging market, including but not limited to, a currency that is not freely convertible outside of the country and a low level of liquidity in debt and equity markets. Also, the banking sector in Uzbekistan is particularly impacted by local political, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments. The largest Uzbek banks are state-controlled and act as an arm of Government to develop the country's economy. The Government distributes funds from the country's budget, which flow through the banks to various government agencies, and other state and privately owned entities.
Economic stability in Uzbekistan is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of economic measures undertaken by the Government, together with other legal, regulatory and political developments, all of which are beyond the Bank's control.
The Bank's financial position and operating results will continue to be affected by future political and economic developments in Uzbekistan including the application and interpretation of existing and future legislation and tax regulations which greatly impact Uzbek financial markets and the economy overall.
In addition to that, starting from early 2020 a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has begun rapidly spreading all over the world resulting in announcement of the pandemic status by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Responses put in place by many countries to contain the spread of COVID-19 are resulting in significant operational disruption for many companies and have significant impact on global financial markets. As the situation is rapidly evolving it has a significant effect on business of many companies across a wide range of sectors, including, but not limited to such impacts as disruption of business operations as a result of interruption of production or closure of facilities, supply chain disruptions, quarantines of personnel, reduced demand and difficulties in raising financing. In addition, the Group has already started to face the increasingly broad effects of COVID-19 as a result of its negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets.
In June 2020, S&P Global Ratings revised Uzbekistan's rating outlook from stable to negative. The decision was made due to rapid rise in the country's external and fiscal debt, partly due to USD 1 billion (UZS 10,173,380 million at the exchange rate prevailing as at the reporting date) in additional government spending in response to the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, in April and September 2020, the CBU reduced the refinancing rate from 16% to 15% and from 15% to 14%, respectively.
As at 30 June 2020, these changes in the economic environment have significantly impacted the operations of the Group through increased charges for ECL and further effects of COVID-19 on the Group's business largely depends on the duration and the incidence of the pandemic effects on the world and Uzbekistan economy. The Group continues to monitor the situation and intends to adapt strategies as needed to continue to drive the business and meet obligations.
Management of the Group is monitoring developments in the current environment and taking the following measures, it considers necessary in order to support the sustainability and development of the Group's business in the foreseeable future:
- Towards the end of Q1 2020, the Group has implemented remote work arrangements and restricted business travel effective mid-March.
- Based on application of customers, the Group has also provided holidays till end of Q3 2020 for repayment of interest and/or principal of loans.
- Expanded offering of banking products through digital and distance channels, which were previously provided exclusively at the Bank's branches.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Accounting basis
The interim condensed consolidated financial information of the Group has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The interim condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited and does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The Group omitted disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the information contained in its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), such as accounting policies and details of accounts, which have not changed significantly in amount or composition. Additionally, the Group has provided disclosures where significant events have occurred subsequent to the issuance of the Group 's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management believes that the disclosures in this interim condensed consolidated financial information are adequate to make the information presented not misleading if this interim condensed consolidated financial information is read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS. In management's opinion, this interim condensed consolidated financial information reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Group's financial position, results of operations, statements of changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the interim reporting periods.
This interim condensed consolidated financial information is presented in millions of Uzbek Soums ("UZS"), except for earnings per share amounts and unless otherwise indicated.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going concern. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is as a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
The Group's activities continue to be affected by the uncertainty and instability of the current economic environment. The financial position and the results of the Bank continue to be significantly impacted by the reforms of the new government, including those directed at increasing living standards, incomes, and job opportunities in rural regions.
For the six months ended 30 June 2020 (unaudited), the Group had a cash outflow from operating activities mainly as a result of on-lending the funds received from international financial institutions and the State to finance the government and investment projects increasing the loans and advances to customers by 20%.
As at 30 June 2020, the Bank was in a breach of cost-to-income ratio stipulated in the tripartite subsidiary loan agreements between the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Rural Restructuring Agency and the Bank #3471-UZB from April 2017 and #3673-UZB from November 2018 as discussed in detail in Note 16. On 5 November 2019, the Republic of Uzbekistan confirmed to the Bank in writing that it would not take any action to demand prepayment of the loans advanced to the Bank under the Subsidiary Loan Agreements as a consequence of past and/or on-going non-compliance with this covenant . In addition, the agreement between the Bank and Ministry of Finance does not provide a definition of an event of default. Therefore the Management considers the breach of the covenant not to be an event of default and is currently in discussions with Ministry of Finance on receiving a letter confirming that this breach of the covenant is not considered to be an event of default.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a cumulative liquidity shortfall of UZS 1,860,134 million up to one month (Note 28), which reflects the effects of the decision to classify UZS 456,356 million as "demand and less than 1 month" as a result of the non-compliance with the covenant.
The Management believes that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future based on the following:
-- Continued ongoing support by the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan ("the State"). The Group is a state owned bank with the Ministry of Finance and UFRD as key shareholders, jointly holding 94.86% interest in the share capital of the Bank. The Group is a strategic financial institution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, responsible for the development of strategic industries.
-- The Bank plays a vital role as a government arm/vehicle to channel the State funds to the strategic sectors of the economy of Uzbekistan. The Management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customer accounts being on demand, the fact that significant portion of these customer accounts are of large State controlled entities which are either the Group's shareholders or its entities under common control and the past experience of the Group, indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and stable source of funding for the Group. As at 30 June 2020 (unaudited), total current accounts and borrowings with maturities up to one year of the State and State controlled entities amounted to UZS 2,917,012 million. As at 30 June 2020 (unaudited) borrowings of the Group from the State amounted to UZS 4,598,472 million. Should the Group's liquidity position require more funding, the Group's Management believes that the terms of the State borrowings and deposits of the State controlled entities could be re-negotiated. The Group's cumulative liquidity position up to one year adjusted for exclusion of the State borrowings and deposits of the State controlled entities would result in positive cumulative liquidity gap in the amount of UZS 757,397 million.
-- On the basis of the Presidential Decree #5978 dated 4 March 2020 "On additional measures to support the population, sectors of the economy and business entities during the coronavirus pandemic" commercial banks were provided with additional liquid resources in the amount of UZS 2,600,000 million by means of easing the requirements for mandatory reserves and implementation of special mechanism on the part of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan for providing liquidity to commercial banks up to UZS 2,000,000 million with a term of up to 3 years. The Bank has the opportunity to use the funds that appeared due to the simplification of requirements.
-- During 2020, the Bank signed a loan agreement with ICBC Standard Bank PLC to attract a credit line in the equivalent of USD 100 million for the purpose of financing the acquisition of modern equipment and updating the technological base in production processes, as well as replenishing the raw material base of business entities. The Bank has also attracted an unsecured synthetic loan of USD 50 million from the investment management company Daryo Finance B.V. for financing the small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), USD 40 million from European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, as well as USD 20 million loan from OPEC Fund for International Development (the OPEC Fund) to support the trade finance requirements of SMEs in different sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, construction and textiles.
-- Subsequent to the reporting date the Bank and Credit Suisse AG agreed to increase credit line extended to the Bank by USD 150 million to finance the development of wholesale and retail trade sector in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
-- As at 30 June 2020, deposits of state entities callable within one year amounted to UZS 2,917,011 million and borrowings from the State and state entities with the same maturity amounted to UZS 1,085,029 million (total UZS 4,002,040 million).
-- The Management regularly assesses the stability of its customer accounts funding base, in particular with respect to that of non-state entities, based on past performance and analysis of the events subsequent to the reporting date. The Management believes that the customers intend to hold their term deposits with the Group, and that this source of funding will remain at a similar level for the foreseeable future.
The Management is not aware of any circumstances that would question the continuation of the Group and considers that all operations will proceed in the normal course of business, with the State retaining the strategic control at least until 2022 as planned in the "Strategy for reforming of the banking system of the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2020 to 2025". This strategy envisages the State's plan to make its shares in the Bank available for sale to strategic private investors.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In preparing this interim condensed consolidated financial information, the significant judgments made by the management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were consistent with those that applied to the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 prepared in accordance with IFRS. There have been no changes to the basis upon which the significant accounting estimates have been determined compared with 31 December 2019, except for those disclosed in this Note below.
Measurement of allowances for expected credit losses ("ECL").
Almost all sectors of the economy of Uzbekistan, both in terms of individuals and legal entities, have been adversely affected by the unprecedented economic and social disruption resulting from Covid-19 which has led to significant government interventions and support. This has caused an increased level of uncertainty and volatility in the economic activity of Uzbekistan during Q2 2020.
In addition, currently limited observable data available to inform a supportable, fully-modelled view on how the economic impacts of this pandemic might affect customers has further exacerbated the ability of the banking sector of Uzbekistan to assess the levels of ECL. The Group incorporates forward-looking information into a measurement of ECL when there is a statistically proven correlation between the macro-economic variables and the NPL. As at the reporting date, statistical tests have failed and ECL across all loan portfolios has not been adjusted for forward-looking information and macroeconomic scenarios. The Management updates its statistical tests for correlation as at each reporting date.
Therefore, due to the increased risk and uncertainties at this time to incorporate the specific effects of the pandemic and the related government support measures, the Management of the Group considered to apply additional overlay in measuring the ECL by introducing the following adjustments in its methodology.
As discussed in Note 10, in line with the government resolution, the Group has provided the borrowers with holidays till the end of Q3 2020 for repayment of interest and/or principal on loans with the outstanding balance of nearly 36% of the total loan portfolio as at 30 June 2020 (unaudited).
The calculation of the PD rates applied across all portfolios (state and municipal organisations, corporate loans) of the Group except for loans with government guarantees was based on the Management's assumption that the payment holidays granted during the lockdown were the evidence of a significant increase in credit risk (SICR). However, the Management is of the view that the actual default rates could materialize to be lower as the customers with government guarantees will continue to receive government support to meet their obligations.
As a result of the assumptions used above the PD rates across all portfolios have been adjusted to reflect the increased credit risk by classifying all Stage 1 loans restructured due to the effects of the pandemic (except for loans with government guarantees) as Stage 2 and all restructured Stage 2 loans that were classified as Stage 3 as at 31 December 2019, have been adjusted as Stage 3. But in measuring the ECL, as at 30 June 2020, the Management has applied an overlay by moving these restructured loans back to their original stages applied before their restructuring.
Additional overlay was applied to the restructured loans that have government guarantees as a collateral by retaining their pre-pandemic staging and assuming that restructuring is not an automatic evidence of significant increase in their credit risk. The basis for this overlay was that the Management believes the government will continue to support these borrowers to meet their obligations. As such, the restructuring that took place during the period of the pandemic in this category of customers did not automatically move them to Stage 2 for a life-time loss calculation.
The Management has also adjusted the calculation of loss given default rates (LGD) by excluding the loan recovery results of the second quarter of 2020, assuming the recovery pattern during the lockdown period does not accurately reflect the financial performance of the borrowers. Cash flows and turnover of customer accounts observed during pre and post quarantine periods suggest that significant slow-down in the recovery of loans were mainly attributable to factors other than the financial standing of the borrowers. This adjustment to LGD has been applied across all portfolios of the Group.
The Management will closely monitor the servicing of the loan portfolio to assess the adequacy of the overlay starting from 1 October 2020, and update the ECL measurement as more information becomes available to support an update, incorporating alternative economic scenarios.
Changes in judgements and assumptions could result in a material adjustment to those estimates in the next reporting periods.
6. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS IFRSs)
The following amended standards and interpretations became effective for the Group from 1 January 2020, but did not have any significant impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2020:
-- Amendments to IFRS 3 Definition of a business; -- Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of material; -- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards.
The Group did not early adopt any other standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued and are not yet effective.
7. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group's operations are a single reportable segment.
The Group provides mainly banking services in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The Group identifies the segment in accordance with the criteria set in IFRS 8 "Operating Segments" and based on the way the operations of the Group are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to analyse performance and allocate resources among business units of the Group.
The chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") has been determined as the Group's Chairman of the Management Board . The CODM reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Management has determined a single operating segment being banking services based on these internal reports.

Less: Allowance for expected credit losses (1,138,079) (646,417)
Total loans and advances to customers 35,899,587 30,039,785
In line with the Presidential Decree #5978 dated 3 April 2020, the Group has provided holidays till the end of Q3 2020 for repayment of interest and/or principal on loans with outstanding balance of 36 % of the total loan portfolio which comprise 49 % of the loans to legal entities, 37 % of loans to individuals and nearly 20 % of the loans state and municipal organisation as at 30 June 2020 (unaudited). As at the same date, the amount of principal, the repayment of which the Group has extended beyond Q3 2020, was UZS 284,000 million (7%) and UZS 2,308,000 million (12%) of the loans to legal entities and individuals, respectively.
In relation to restructured loans above, interest continued to accrue on the outstanding principal of the loans and was distributed over the remaining period of the loans with final maturities predominantly extended by six months.
Deterioration in Non-performing loans ("NPL") to gross loans and in NPL coverage ratios at 30 June 2020 was mainly driven by the increase in non-performing borrowers during the second quarter of 2020 on the back of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. NPLs are loans in which the borrower is in default due to the fact that they have not made the scheduled payments for 90 days or more. The NPL is a measure of performance not defined by IFRS.
The following table presents information about NPLs as at 30 June 2020 and as at 31 December 2019:

The borrowings from the OPEC Fund International Development and Ak Bars Bank are provided for financing of trade finance sector of Uzbekistan in order to meet the demand of local enterprises in Uzbekistan.
In accordance with the general agreement of financing dated 20 February 2020 #1799-02-20-11 signed between Promsvyazbank and the Group, the funds were granted to finance foreign trade operations of the Group's borrowers.
The Group was granted a loan facility by the European bank of reconstruction and development based on loan agreement #51909 signed on 23 June 2020 to re-credit the growing private sector in Uzbekistan.
The Group granted short term loan with maturity one year through money market from Aktif bank dated 19 February 2020 to finance projects involving the industrial and manufacturing sectors
In accordance with the Loan agreement dated 11 June 2020 signed between Daryo Finance B.V. and the Group, the funds were attracted through private placement of three - year unsecured credit notes in national currency among international investors and aimed to finance small medium business sector respectively.
During 2020, the Group was granted a loan facility by the ICBC Standard Bank PLC to expand opportunities for providing financing in the national currency by the Group to small and medium-sized businesses that are engines of economic growth.
The Group is obligated to comply with financial covenants in relation to majority of other borrowed funds disclosed above, non-compliance of which may give the lender a right to demand repayment.
In 2017 and 2018, the ADB advanced two loans to the Republic of Uzbekistan (the "Republic") in connection with the financing of horticulture projects in Uzbekistan (the "Project"). The Republic on-lent a portion of these loans to the Bank under tripartite subsidiary loan agreements No. 3471-UZB dated April 2017 and No. 3673-UZB dated November 2018 between the Republic, the Rural Restructuring Agency and the Bank (the "Subsidiary Loan Agreements").
In November 2019 the ADB advanced another loan to the Republic of Uzbekistan (the "Republic") in connection with the financing of livestock value chain development projects in Uzbekistan (the "Project"). The Republic on-lent a portion of this loan to the Bank under subsidiary loan agreements No. L3823(COL)-UZB dated February 10, 2020 between the Republic, the Agro Industries and Food Security Agency and the Bank (the "Subsidiary Loan Agreements").
The loan agreements between ADB and the Republic require the Republic to cause the Bank to ensure the maintenance of certain financial covenants throughout the implementation period of the Project. The same financial covenants are included in the Subsidiary Loan Agreements.
As at 30 June 2020, the Bank was not in compliance with cost-to-income ratio in the Subsidiary Loan Agreements. Under the terms of the Subsidiary Loan Agreements, any non-compliance with covenants gives the Republic the right to demand prepayment of the loans advanced to the Bank. As at 30 June 2020, in accordance with IFRS, the Bank classified the long-term borrowings from the Republic under the Subsidiary Loan Agreements as "demand and less than 1 month".
The Bank proactively communicated with both ADB and the Republic and established a strategic action plan in relation to financial years 2019-2024 with a view of ensuring compliance with the covenants in the future. On 5 November 2019, ADB issued a letter to the Bank confirming ADB's agreement with the action plan and the fact that ADB remains committed to the Project and to continuing relationships with the Republic under the Project. On 5 November 2019, the Republic confirmed to the Bank that it would not take any action to demand a prepayment of the loans advanced to the Bank under the Subsidiary Loan Agreements as a consequence of past and/or on-going non-compliance with this covenant. The agreement between the Bank and Ministry of Finance does not provide a definition of an event of default. Therefore the Management considers the breach of the covenant not to be an event of default and is currently in discussions with Ministry of Finance on receiving a letter confirming that this breach of the covenant is not considered to be an event of default.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a cumulative liquidity shortfall of UZS 1,860,134 million up to one month (Note 28), which reflects the effects of the decision to classify UZS 456,356 million as "demand and less than 1 month" as a result of the non-compliance with the covenant.

23. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.
The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares; therefore, the diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share.
According to the charter of the Group, dividend payments per ordinary share cannot exceed the dividends per share on preferred shares for the same period and the minimum dividends payable to the owners of preference shares comprise not less than 20%. Therefore, net profit for the period is allocated to the ordinary shares and the preferred shares in accordance with their legal and contractual dividsend rights to participate in undistributed earnings.

24. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating lease commitments. As at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group had no material operating lease commitments outstanding
Legal proceedings . From time to time and in the normal course of business, claims against the Group are received. On the basis of its own estimates and both internal and external professional advice the Management is of the opinion that no material losses will be incurred in respect of claims and accordingly no provision has been made in these consolidated financial statements.
Tax legislation . Uzbek tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently. The Management's interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and state authorities. Recent events within Uzbekistan suggest that the tax authorities may be taking a more assertive position in their interpretation of the legislation and assessments, and it is possible that transactions and activities that have not been challenged in the past, may be challenged. As a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may be assessed. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years preceding the year of review. Under certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods.
The Management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and the Bank's tax, currency legislation and customs positions will be sustained. Accordingly, as at 30 June 2020, no provision for potential tax liabilities had been recorded (2019: Nil). The Group estimates that it has no potential obligations from exposure to other than remote tax risks.
Capital expenditure commitments. As at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group had contractual capital expenditure commitments for the total amount of UZS 1,050,749 million and UZS 1,114,823 million in respect of premises and equipment, respectively.
Credit related commitments . The primary purpose of these instruments is to ensure that funds are available to a customer as required. Guarantees and standby letters of credit, which represent irrevocable assurances that the Group will make payments in the event that a customer cannot meet its obligations to third parties, carry the same credit risk as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit, which are written undertakings by the Group on behalf of a customer authorising a third party to draw drafts on the Group up to a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions, are collateralised by the underlying shipments of goods to which they relate or cash deposits and therefore carry less risk than a direct borrowing. Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorisations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Group is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments since most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Group monitors the term to maturity of credit related commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

25. FAIR VALUE
IFRS defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date.
Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: (i) level one are measurements at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (ii) level two measurements are valuations techniques with all material inputs observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices), and (iii) level three measurements are valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). The Management applies judgement in categorising financial instruments using the fair value hierarchy. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment, that measurement is a Level 3 measurement. The significance of a valuation input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Some of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting year. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used).Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
The Group considers that the accounting estimate related to the valuation of financial instruments where quoted markets prices are not available is a key source of estimation uncertainty because: (i) it is highly susceptible to changes from year to year, as it requires the Management to make assumptions about interest rates, volatility, exchange rates, the credit rating of the counterparty, valuation adjustments and specific features of transactions and (ii) the impact that recognising a change in the valuations would have on the assets reported on the consolidated statement of financial position, as well as, the related profit or loss reported on the consolidated statement of profit or loss, could be material .
Except as detailed in the following table, the Management considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recognised in the interim condensed consolidated financial information approximate their fair values :

As at 30 June 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group determined fair value for some of its financial assets and liabilities using the discounted cash flow model by applying CBU statistical bulletin, which became open to public starting 2019. Such financial instruments were categorised as Level 2.
For those financial instruments where interest rates were not directly available in the CBU's Statistical bulletin, the Management uses discounted cash flow model by applying market interest rates based on the rates of the deals concluded towards the end of the reporting period, thereby, categorizing such instruments as Level 3.
The fair value of the equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income disclosed in note 12 were determined as the present value of future dividends by assuming dividend growth rate of zero per annum. The Management built its expectation based on previous experience of dividends received on financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income over multiple years, and accordingly calculated the value of using the average rate of return on investments. The Management believes that this approach accurately reflects the fair value of these securities, given they are not traded. Such financial instruments were categorised as Level 3.
26. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group manages regulatory capital as Group's capital. The Group's objectives when managing capital are to comply with the capital requirements set by the CBU, and to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Compliance with capital adequacy ratios set by the CBU is monitored monthly with reports outlining their calculation reviewed and signed by the Chairman and Chief Accountant.
Under the current capital requirements set by the CBU, banks have to maintain ratios of (actual ratios given below are unaudited):
-- Ratio of regulatory capital to risk weighted assets ("Regulatory capital ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 13% (31 December 2019: 13%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2020: 18.9% (31 December 2019: 23%);
-- Ratio of Group's tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets ("Capital adequacy ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 10% (31 December 2019: 10%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2020: 15.8% (31 December 2019: 18%); and
-- Ratio of Group's tier 1 capital to total assets less intangibles ("Leverage ratio") above a prescribed minimum level of 6% (31 December 2019: 6%). Actual ratio as at 30 June 2020: 11.9% (31 December 2019: 13.4%).
Total capital is based on the Group's reports prepared under Uzbekistan Accounting Legislation and related instructions and comprises:

Less: Deductions from capital (102,835) (100,000)
Total regulatory Capital 7,097,009 6,599,290
Regulatory capital consists of Tier 1 capital, which comprises share capital, share premium, preference shares, retained earnings excluding current year profit and less intangible assets. The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital, which includes current year profit.
27. RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks, operational risks and legal risks. Financial risk comprises market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The primary objectives of the financial risk management function are to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks stays within these limits. The operational and legal risk management functions are intended to ensure proper functioning of internal policies and procedures, in order to minimise operational and legal risks.
Credit risk . The Group takes on exposure to credit risk which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Group's lending and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial assets.
Clients of the Group are segmented into five rating classes. The Group's rating scale, which is shown below, reflects the range of default probabilities defined for each rating class. This means that, in principle, exposures migrate between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes.
Group's internal ratings scale :
Timely repayment of these loans is not in doubt. The borrower is a financially stable company, which has an adequate capital level, high level profitability and sufficient cash flow to meet its all existing obligations, including present debt. When estimating the reputation of the borrower such factors as the history of previous repayments, marketability of collateral (movable and immovable property guarantee) are taken into consideration.
"Sub-standard" loans are loans, secured with a reliable source of secondary repayment (guarantee or collateral). On the whole, the financial situation of borrower is stable, but some unfavourable circumstances or tendencies are in the present, which raise doubts on the ability of the borrower to repay on time. "Standard" loans with insufficient information in the credit file or missed information on collateral could be also classified as "sub-standard" loans.
Unsatisfactory loans have obvious deficiencies, which make for doubtful repayment of the loan on the conditions, envisaged by the initial agreement. As for "unsatisfactory" loans, the primary source of repayment is not sufficient and the Group has to seek additional loan repayment sources, which in case of non-repayment is a sale of collateral.
Doubtful loans are those loans, which have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as "unsatisfactory" with the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable.
Loans classified as "loss" are considered uncollectible and have such little value that their continuance as bankable assets of the Group is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loans have absolutely no likelihood of recovery, but rather means that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these essentially worthless assets even though partial recovery may be effected in the future and the Group should make efforts on liquidation such debts through selling collateral or should apply all forces for its repayment.
Risk limits control and mitigation policies . The Group manages, limits and controls concentrations of credit risk wherever they are identified - in particular, to individual counterparties and groups, and to industries.
The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower, or groups of borrowers, and to geographical and industry segments. Such risks are monitored on a revolving basis and subject to an annual or more frequent review, when considered necessary. Limits on the level of credit risk by product, industry sector and by country are approved quarterly by the Bank Council.
Exposure to credit risk is managed through regular analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet interest and capital repayment obligations and by changing these lending limits where appropriate.
Some other specific control and mitigation measures are outlined below.
(a) Limits . The Group manages and controls credit risk by setting limits on the amount of risk it is willing to accept for individual counterparties and for geographical and industry concentrations, and by monitoring exposures in relation to such limits.
(b) Collateral . The Group employs a range of policies and practices to mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of these is the taking of security for funds advances, which is common practice. The Group implements guidelines on the acceptability of specific classes of collateral or credit risk mitigation.
Collateral before being accepted by the Group is thoroughly analysed and physically verified, where applicable. Debt securities, treasury and other eligible bills are generally unsecured.
The principal collateral types for loans and advances as well as finance lease receivables are:
- State guarantees - Cash deposits; - Motor vehicle; - Inventory; - Letter of surety; - Residential house; - Equipment; - Building; and - Other assets
(c) Concentration of risks of financial assets with credit risk exposure . The Group's Management focuses on concentration risk:
- The maximum risk to single borrower or group of affiliated borrowers shall not exceed 25 percent of the Group's tier 1 capital;
- Total amount of unsecured credits to single borrower or group of affiliated borrowers shall not exceed 5 percent of Group's tier 1 capital;
- Total amount of all large credits shall not exceed Group's tier 1 capital by more than 8 times; and
- Total loan amount to related party shall not exceed Group's tier 1 capital.
In order to monitor credit risk exposures, weekly reports are produced by the credit department's officers based on a structured analysis focusing on the customer's business and financial performance, which includes overdue balances, disbursements and repayments, outstanding balances and maturity of loan and as well as grade of loan and collateral. Any significant exposures against customers with deteriorating creditworthiness are reported to and reviewed by the Management daily. The Management monitors and follows up past due balances.
Impairment and provisioning policies . The internal rating tool assists the Management to determine whether objective evidence of impairment exists, based on the following criteria set out by the Group:
- Delinquency in contractual payments of principal or interest;
- Cash flow difficulties experienced by the borrower (e.g. equity ratio, net income percentage of sales);
- Breach of loan covenants or conditions; - Initiation of bankruptcy proceedings and etc.
The Group's policy requires the review of individual financial assets that are above certain materiality thresholds at least annually or more regularly when individual circumstances require. Impairment allowances on individually assessed accounts are determined by an evaluation of the incurred loss at balance-sheet date on a case-by-case basis, and are applied to all individually significant accounts. The assessment normally encompasses collateral held (including re-confirmation of its enforceability) and the anticipated receipts for that individual account.
Collectively assessed impairment allowances are provided for: (i) portfolios of homogenous assets that are individually below materiality thresholds; and (ii) losses that have been incurred but have not yet been identified, by using the available empirical data, experienced judgment and statistical techniques.
Maximum exposure of credit risk. The Group 's maximum exposure to credit risk varies significantly and is dependent on both individual risks and general market economy risks.
The following table presents the maximum exposure to credit risk of balance sheet and off balance sheet financial assets. For financial assets in the balance sheet, the maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of those assets prior to any offset or collateral. The Group 's maximum exposure to credit risk under contingent liabilities and commitments to extend credit, in the event of non-performance by the other party where all counterclaims, collateral or security prove valueless, is represented by the contractual amounts of those instruments.

Off-balance sheet risk. The Group applies fundamentally the same risk management policies for off-balance sheet risks as it does for its on-balance sheet risks. In the case of commitments to lend, customers and counterparties will be subject to the same credit management policies as for loans and advances. Collateral may be sought depending on the strength of the counterparty and the nature of the transaction.
Market risk . The Group takes on exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rate, currency and equity products, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements. The Group manages its market risk through risk-based limits established by the Bank Supervisory Board on the value of risk that may be accepted. The risk-based limits are subject to review by the Bank Council on a quarterly basis. Overall Group's position is split between Corporate and Retail banking positions. The exposure of Corporate and Retail banking operations to market risk is managed through the system of limits monitored by the Treasury Department on a daily basis. However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements.
Currency risk . The Group takes on exposure to the effect of fluctuations in the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates on its financial position and cash flows. In respect of currency risk, the Council sets limits on the level of exposure by currency and in total for both overnight and intra-day positions, which are monitored daily. The Group's Treasury Department measures its currency risk by matching financial assets and liabilities denominated in same currency and analyses effect of actual annual appreciation/depreciation of that currency against Uzbekistan Soum to the profit and loss of the Group.
The Group measures its currency risk by:
- Net position on each currency should not exceed 10 % of Group's total equity; - Total net position on all currencies should not exceed 15 % of Group's total equity.
The table below summarises the Group's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk at the end of reporting period:

The CBU sets a number of requirements for foreign currency position. As at 30 June 2020, the Bank is in compliance with the statutory requirements on open position in respect of foreign currencies under the accounting policies set by CBU.
Changes of the possible movement of the currency rates from 2019 to 2020 were associated with the increase in the volatility of the exchange rate. The following table presents sensitivities of profit and loss to reasonably possible changes in exchange rates applied at the end of reporting period, with all other variables held constant:
As at 30 June As at 31 December
2020 (unaudited) 2019
Impact on Impact on
profit or profit or

US Dollars weakening by 20% (31 December

EUR weakening by 20% (31 December 2019:

The above sensitivity analysis include limitations in terms of the use of hypothetical market movements to demonstrate potential risk that only represent the Group's view of possible near-term market changes, based on historical change in foreign currency rates, and which cannot be predicted with any certainty.
The exposure was calculated only for monetary balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Group. Impact on equity would be the same as impact on statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Interest rate risk . The Group takes on exposure to the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on its financial position and cash flows. Interest margins may increase as a result of such changes but may reduce or create losses in the event that unexpected movements arise.
The Management monitors on a daily basis and sets limits on the level of mismatch of interest rate repricing that may be undertaken.
The table below summarises the Group's exposure to interest rate risks. The table presents the aggregated amounts of the Group's financial assets and liabilities at carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of contractual interest repricing or maturity dates.

Other price risk . The Group is exposed to prepayment risk through providing loans, including mortgages, which give the borrower the right to early repay the loans. The Group's current year profit or loss and equity at the current reporting date would not have been significantly impacted by changes in prepayment rates because such loans are carried at amortised cost and the prepayment right is at or close to the amortised cost of the loans and advances to customers. The Group has no significant exposure to equity price risk.

Liquidity risk . Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group is exposed to daily calls on its available cash resources from overnight deposits, current accounts, maturing deposits, loan draw downs, guarantees and from margin and other calls on cash settled derivative instruments. The Group does not maintain cash resources to meet all of these needs as experience shows that a minimum level of reinvestment of maturing funds can be predicted with a high level of certainty. Liquidity risk is managed by the Resources Management Committee of the Group.
The Group seeks to maintain a stable funding base comprising primarily amounts due to other banks, corporate and retail customer deposits and invest the funds in inter-bank placements of liquid assets, in order to be able to respond quickly and smoothly to unforeseen liquidity requirements.
The liquidity management of the Group requires considering the level of liquid assets necessary to settle obligations as they fall due; maintaining access to a range of funding sources; maintaining funding contingency plans and monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against regulatory requirements. The Group calculates liquidity ratios on a monthly basis in accordance with the requirement of the Central Bank of Uzbekistan. These ratios are calculated using figures based on National Accounting Standards.
The Treasury Department receives information about the liquidity profile of the financial assets and liabilities. The Treasury Department then provides for an adequate portfolio of short-term liquid assets, largely made up of short-term liquid trading securities, deposits with banks and other inter-bank facilities, to ensure that sufficient liquidity is maintained within the Group as a whole.
The daily liquidity position is monitored and regular liquidity stress testing under a variety of scenarios covering both normal and more severe market conditions is performed by the Treasury Department.
When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed is determined by reference to the conditions existing at the reporting date. Foreign currency payments are translated using the spot exchange rate at the statement of financial position date.

Liquidity requirements to support calls under guarantees and standby letters of credit are considerably less than the amount of the commitment disclosed in the above maturity analysis, because the Group does not generally expect the third party to draw funds under the agreement.
The total outstanding contractual amount of commitments to extend credit as included in the above maturity table does not necessarily represent future cash requirements, since many of these commitments will expire or terminate without being funded.
The table below shows the maturity analysis of non-derivative financial assets at their carrying amounts and based on their contractual maturities, except for assets that are readily saleable if it should be necessary to meet cash outflows on financial liabilities. Such financial assets are included in the maturity analysis based on their expected date of disposal. Impaired loans are included at their carrying amounts net of impairment provisions, and based on the expected timing of cash inflows.
The Group does not use the above undiscounted maturity analysis to manage liquidity. Instead, the Group monitors expected maturities which may be summarised as follows at 30 June 2020 (unaudited):

The above analysis is based on remaining contractual maturities.
As at 30 June 2020, the Bank was not in compliance with cost-to-income ratio stipulated in the tripartite subsidiary loan agreements between the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Rural Restructuring Agency and the Bank #3471-UZB from April 2017 and #3673-UZB from November 2018 as discussed in detail in Note 16. On 5 November 2019, the Republic of Uzbekistan confirmed to the Bank in writing that it would not take any action to demand a prepayment of the loans advanced to the Bank under the Subsidiary Loan Agreements as a consequence of past and/or on-going non-compliance with this covenant . In addition, the agreement between the Bank and Ministry of Finance does not provide a definition of an event of default. Therefore the Management considers the breach of the covenant not to be an event of default and is currently in discussions with Ministry of Finance on receiving a letter confirming that this breach of the covenant is not considered to be an event of default.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a cumulative liquidity shortfall of UZS 1,860,134 million up to one month, which reflects the effects of the decision to classify UZS 456,356 million as "demand and less than 1 month" as a result of the non-compliance with the covenant.
Although the Group does not have the right to use the mandatory deposits held in Central bank of Uzbekistan for the purposes of funding its operating activities, the Management classifies them as demand deposits in the liquidity gap analysis on the basis that their nature is inherently to fund sudden withdrawal of customer accounts.
The matching and/or controlled mismatching of the maturities and interest rates of assets and liabilities is fundamental to the Management of the Group. It is unusual for banks ever to be completely matched since business transacted is often of an uncertain term and of different types. An unmatched position potentially enhances profitability, but can also increase the risk of losses. The maturities of assets and liabilities and the ability to replace, at an acceptable cost, interest-bearing liabilities as they mature, are important factors in assessing the liquidity of the Group and its exposure to changes in interest and exchange rates.
The Management believes that in spite of a substantial portion of customer accounts being on demand, the fact that significant portion of these customer accounts are of large state controlled entities which are either the Group's shareholders or its entities under common control and the past experience of the Group, indicate that these customer accounts provide a long-term and stable source of funding for the Group.
As part of liquidity risk management, the Group maintains a contingency plan, periodically reviewed and adjusted, to be able to withstand any unexpected outflow of customers and to respond to financial stress. The contingency plan is developed primarily on the basis of the Group's ability to access the State resources due to its state ownership and strategic importance to the national banking system of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
As at 30 June 2020, the contingency plan of the Group consisted of the following:
- Attraction of long-term deposits of State funds under the Ministry of Finance - Pension Fund, State Deposit Insurance Fund and others;
- Attraction of budgetary funds up to one year through weekly electronic bidding platform run by the State Treasury under the Ministry of Finance;
- Utilization of the CBU's short-term liquidity loans;
- Attraction of deposits from inter-bank money markets within the limits set by the local commercial banks.
Subsequent to the reporting date the Bank and Credit Suisse AG agreed to increase credit line extended to the Bank by USD 150 million to finance the development of wholesale and retail trade sector in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Due the effects of the pandemic on the Uzbek economy and banking sector, the State has announced and adopted various measures to combat its negative impact. Among the measures taken by the CBU, the following had direct and indirect impact on the Bank's liquidity:
- The commercial banks were provided with additional liquid resources as a result of easing the requirements for mandatory reserves with the CBU. This measure has allowed the Bank to enjoy additional liquidity;
- The CBU made available for the commercial banks a credit line collateralized with mortgage loans and/or loans classified as "standard";
- For regulatory and statutory purposes, the commercial banks were allowed not to reduce the quality classification of the loans restructured as a result of pandemic, which in turn allowed the banks not to increase their impairment allowances;
- The CBU postponed the introduction of more stringent liquidity requirements (in particular, liquidity coverage ratio - LCR) from mid 2020 to 2021;
- Quarterly contributions to the State Deposit Insurance Fund have been reduced from 0.25% to 0.05% starting from 1 July 2020.
The Management of the Group is of the view that through their contingency plans the Group will be able to attract resources sufficient to cover any potential negative liquidity gap as at 30 June 2020.
