  10. 1) The German Banking Market- The Home Savings and Loan System § § A legally secured system According to Law, HSL companies are specialized credit institutions What are the reasons? What are the benefits? - Closed system - Special know-how of HSL and - HSL-specific criteria needed for it - No distorted competition between banks and HSL companies - Protection of the HSL customer by regulations

  11. 1) The German Banking Market- The Home Savings and Loan System GERMANY BSH-Group has … … nearly 80 years of experience in the market for home savings and loans … more than 6.7 million customers in Germany (8 percent of the German population) … a total contractual sum of 215 billion euros (£190 billion) … a market share of 28 percent ABROAD BSH-Group has … … successfully introduced HSL to five countries outside Germany … contributed to increasing home-ownership ratios in these countries … enhanced the stability of the market for housing finance in these regions … more than 3.4 million HSL customers outside Germany Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall-Group (BSH-Group) is market leader in Germany and Europe Source: DZ BANK – Meeting with Paul Volcker, New York, 8 October 2010

  12. 2) Main Changes due to Basel III- Regulatory Capital • Requirement to increase the regulatory capital • Tier 1 Capital: • Divided intoCore Tier 1(Common Equity) andNon Core Tier 1(Hybrid capital) • strengthening the requirements towards the core capital and introducing the minimum level “Core Tier 1” • Core Tier 1 has to form the predominant part of the entire Tier 1 Capital  effects on the possible extent of the hybrid capital • introducing a supplementary capital buffer • Tier 2 Capital: • subordinate to deposits and general outside capital • minimum original term of 5 years • only paid-in capital

  13. 2) Main Changes due to Basel III- Effects on the Cooperative Banks The new Basel III regulations also apply to non-plc’s,i.e. for Cooperative Banks, too Special features of the cooperative legal structure Tier 2 Tier 1 Business assets (paid-in capital) are accepted as hard core capital under certain conditions: An approved additional and guaranteed reserve liability is vital: Same capital quality as equity share with reference to loss absorption and with refer-ence to going-concern principle in case of crisis Same capital quality is doubtful, as supple-ment to the reserve liability will only meet the criterion of deposit after the crisis scenario. Approval of Tier 1 Capital is enough for most Cooperative banks

  14. 2) Main Changes due to Basel III- Effects on the Specialist Group Institutions • Capitalization of Specialist Group institutions • Tier 1 mainly by share capital and capital reserves via Cooperative banks (directly and indirectly) • Partly fund-raising via capital market (hybrid capital) • Status quo: solid capital basis which meets the Basel III requirements • The Tier 1 ratio of Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall (> 20%) lies significantly above the future required ratio, i.e. 7% (Tier 1 + capital buffer)
