The Banks must calculate minimum ORC requirements based on the Standardized Approach by multiplying the BIC and the ILM: | |
ORC = BIC x ILM | |
Where- | |
| (a) | Business Indicator Component (BIC) is calculated as the sum of: |
| | (i) | 12% of the Bank’s BI; | |
| | (ii) | if the Bank’s BI exceeds SAR 4.46 billion, 3% of the amount by which the BI exceeds SAR 4.46 billion; and | |
| | (iii) | if the Bank’s BI exceeds SAR 133.8 billion, 3% of the amount by which the BI exceeds SAR 133.8 billion;2 | |
BI is elaborated in section 7.2 | |
| (b) | Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM) is calculated as follow: |
|
The explanation of ILM is given in section 7.3 | |
Risk-weighted assets (RWA) for operational risk are equal to 12.5 times ORC. | |
2 For example, given a BI of SAR 140 billion, BIC = (SAR 140 billion x 12%) + [(SAR 140 billion – SAR 4.46 billion) x 3%] + [(SAR 140 billion – SAR 133.8 billion) x 3%] = (SAR 140 billion x 12%) + (135.54 billion x 3%) + (6.2) x 3%) = SAR 21.05 billion.
