Principle 16
Capital Adequacy Comments The assessors reviewed the BoT regulations for compliance with the Basel standards. The assessors also reviewed an ICAAP and the BoT assessment of the ICAAP and concluded that the BoT’s assessment and analysis was thorough and consistent. The assessors discussed the approval, application, and the BoT review processes for advanced IRB and other modeling approaches with the Head of the modelling unit and reviewed supporting documents. The BoT sets prudent and appropriate capital adequacy requirements for banks that reflects the risks undertaken by banks in the market in which it operated. The components of capital absorb losses and the capital requirements are not less than the Basel standards. The assessors recommend that the BoT build a more integrated approach towards Pillar 2, starting by developing a methodology to set individual bank capital ratios as part of its risk based supervisory framework. Principle 17 Credit Risk Comment The assessors reviewed inspection reports including the orders and recommendations following the inspections. They discussed the follow-up of these recommendations with the relevant examiners. THAILAND 76 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND Table 1. Thailand: Summary Compliance with the Basel Core Principles (continued) Principle 18 Problem Assets, Provisions, and Reserves Comments The assessors reviewed several examination reports and risk assessments for asset classification and provisioning. They found that the examinations were comprehensive and in sufficient depth to cover the implementation of BoT laws and regulations. The findings of the thematic examinations were reviewed and discussed with the relevant examination teams. The BoT ensures that banks have adequate policies and processes for the early identification and management of problem assets, and the maintenance of adequate provisions and reserves. The BoT supervisors closely monitor the asset quality at a very granular level in individual banks and at the level of the banking system. The assessors were shown trends in cure rates and migration rates for restructured and defaulted exposures, at individual bank level and for the banking system. These trends inform the intensity of supervision of asset quality during the annual inspections. Provision coverage is also high. It stands at 140 percent (total provisions/total NPLs) and 170 percent (total provisions/required provisions). There are areas that should be revised to align the BoT regulations and practices with the most recent Basel guidelines (“Prudential Treatment of Problem Assets—Definitions of Nonperforming Loans and Forbearance—April 2017”). • Banks should be required to include a list of indicators to determine the qualitative criterion of unlikeliness to pay in their policies. While the assessors were shown evidence that at least one Thai bank has a list of indicators of unlikeliness to pay, it is recommended the BoT regulations explicitly require banks to do so. • The BoT definition of restructuring and rescheduling is not in line with the definition of forbearance in international good practice; it should refer to financial difficulty of the borrower and it should not be conditional on the bank making a loss. • The probation period for nonperforming restructured exposures to be upgraded to performing exposures is currently three months. International good practice requires it to be a minimum of one year. • No upgrade of the exposure should take place when restructuring is granted (The BoT Notification FPG 5/2559 Regulations on Asset Classification and Provisioning of financial Institutions paragraph 5.2.3 (2)). Upgrades should only be allowed after the debtor has successfully completed the probation period. - More detailed guidance should be given in the BoT regulation on the level of application (borrower or transaction level) of the classification. The BoT has included guidance on the level of application in the Q&A attached to the regulation, but the assessors believe the topic is important enough to ensure this be included in the regulation. The BoT has issued a revised Asset Classification. After TFRS 9 becomes effective in 2020, asset classification, provisioning and write off shall be in accordance with the TFRS 9, considering economic, business, and financial conditions of the debtors. That is, the asset will be classified into 3 classes: performing, under-performing, and nonperforming. For assets classified as performing, provision shall be set against expected credit loss over 12-month period while assets classified as under-performing and nonperforming shall be set against expected credit loss over the expected life. The revised regulation was not in |
