RISK MANAGEMENT
RISK State Bank created an effective risk management framework to mitigate potential risks to the Bank by
MANAGEMENT identification, assessment, prevention, and monitoring of risks within scope of its risk management policy.
As part of enhancement of coordination of risk management measures, the Bank amended its Regulation
on Operations of the Risk Management Committee and the Regulation on Operational Risk Management.
In order to implement effective risk management tools and techniques for prevention and mitigation of
potential risks, the Bank identifies potential operational risk areas, as well as performs risk assessment
of new products and services, and presents its findings and recommendations to respective committees.
We developed a software to facilitate proper registration of operational risk events in order to create risk
database that can be served as basis for proper risk control measures. The software enables automation
of risk management operations, producing eight different types of reports from the system. Furthermore,
based on the risk database, TOP-5 risks are identified on a monthly basis while operational risk trend
report is prepared on quarterly basis. Risk mitigation plans are developed and implemented at branch and
unit level based on the above reports.
The access matrix for main finance programs was revised in order to improve user access control. Any
requests for access authorization are handled individually.
Bank wide emergency mitigation drill was organized to ensure emergency preparedness and disaster
mitigation, and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulation. This event enhanced knowledge,
awareness and responsibilities of employees to respond to emergency situations.
As of the end of 2016, the amount of non-performing loans in the banking system reached MNT 1,047.5
billion or 8.49% of the total loan portfolio. If the loans of liquidated banks are cleaned, the amount of non-
performing loans stood at MNT846.0 billion or 6.97% of total loan portfolio. For the State Bank, as of the
end of 2016 the percentage of non-performing loans was 3.2% of total loan portfolio, which was 3.77
points lower than the system average. This demonstrates the quality of the Bank assets and effectiveness
of the Bank’s goal to be “free of risks”.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial
position only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts without being
contingent on a future event and there is an intention to settle on a net basis in all of the following
circumstances:
• The normal course of business;
• The event of default;
• The event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Bank and/or the counterparties.
Positions recognized on a net basis primarily include balances with exchanges, repurchase agreements, clearing
houses and brokers. Derivative assets and liabilities with master netting arrangements are only presented net
when they satisfy the eligibility of netting for all of the above criteria and not just in the event of default.
2.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Bank’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying
disclosures, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates
could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected
in future periods.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimating uncertainty at the reporting
date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities

within the next financial year are described below. The Bank based its assumptions and estimates on parameters
available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future
developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the control of the Bank.

nature. No material losses are anticipated as a result of these transactions.

The Bank determines the allowances appropriate for each individually significant loan or advance on an
individual basis. Items considered when determining allowance amounts include the sustainability of the
counterparty’s business plan, its ability to improve performance once a financial difficulty has arisen, projected
receipts and the expected dividend payout should bankruptcy ensue, the availability of the other financial
support and the realizable value of collateral, and the timing of the expected cash flows. The impairment
losses are evaluated at each reporting date, unless unforeseen circumstances require more careful attention.

Currency risk
Currency risk is the possibility of financial loss to the Bank arising from adverse movements in foreign exchange
rates. The Bank’s management sets limits on the level of exposure by currencies, which are monitored on a
frequent basis. Apart from using foreign exchange exposure mismatch, the Bank applies Value-at-Risk (“VaR”)
simulation model to manage and measure foreign exchange risk. VaR is a method used in measuring financial
risk by estimating the potential negative change in the market value of a portfolio at a given confidence level
and over specified time horizon.

Objectives and limitations of the VaR Methodology
The VaR model is designed to measure market risk in a normal market environment. The models assume
that any changes occurring in the risk factors affecting the normal market environment will follow a normal
distribution. The Bank uses two VaR methods which are the Monte Carlo Simulation and the Historical
Simulation models to assess possible changes in the foreign currency portfolio based on historical data from
the past one day. The Bank uses Variance/Covariance model to assess possible changes in foreign currency
portfolio based on historical data from the past one day. The VaR methodology employed by the Bank uses
a one-day period, using 99% confidence level, of the potential loss that is not expected to be exceeded if

the current market risk positions were to be held unchanged for one day, and are determined by observing

day horizon, losses exceeding the VaR figure should occur, on average, not more than once every hundred

financial assets and liabilities atcarrying amounts, categorized by currencies.

The use of VaR has limitations because it is based on historical correlations and volatilities in market prices

and assumes that future price movements will follow a statistical distribution. Due to the fact that VaR
relies heavily on historical data to provide information and may not clearly predict the future changes and
modifications of the risk factors, the probability of large market moves may be underestimated if changes in

risk factors fail to align with the normal distribution assumption. VaR may also be under or over-estimated due
to the assumptions placed on risk factors and the relationship between such factors for specific instruments.
Even though positions may change throughout the day, the VaR only represents the risk of the portfolios
at the close of each business day, and it does not account for any losses that may occur beyond the 99%
confidence level.
VaR limits have been established for all foreign currency open positions and exposures are reviewed daily
against the limits by management. The estimated potential one-day losses on its foreign currency denominated

Prepayment risk is the risk that the Bank will incur a financial loss because its customers and counterparties
repay or request repayment earlier or later than expected.
The Bank uses the simplified approach to project the impact of varying levels of prepayment on its net interest
income.
If 20% of repayable financial instruments were prepaid at the beginning of the year, with all other variables
held constant, the interest for the year would be reduced by MNT 34,285million (2015:MNT 34,332million).

Operational risk is the probability of loss arising from system failure, human errors, fraud or external events.
When controls fail to perform, operational disabilities can cause damage to reputation, have legal or regulatory
implications, and lead to financial loss. The Bank cannot eliminate all operational risk, but through a dual
control framework, segregation of duties between front-office and back office functions, controlled access
to systems, authorization and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes, including
the use of internal audit, the Bank seeks to manage operational risk and reduce it.
