7.1 The Standardized Approach

No: 44047144 Date(g): 27/12/2022 | Date(h): 4/6/1444 Status: In-Force
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.
