Credit related contingent liabilities
Credit granting liabilities represent the unused portions of
funds authorised for the granting of credit in the form of loans,
financial guarantees, letters of credit and other lending related
financial instruments. With regard to the credit risk exposure
from credit granting liabilities, Rabobank is potentially exposed
to losses amounting to the unused portion of the authorised
funds. The total expected loss is lower than the total of the
unused funds.This is because credit granting liabilities are
subject to the clients in question continuing to meet specific
standards of creditworthiness. Financial guarantees represent
irrevocable undertakings that, provided certain conditions are
met, Rabobank will make payments on behalf of clients if they
are unable to meet their financial obligations to third parties.
Rabobank also enters into credit arrangements in the form of
credit facilities made available to safeguard clients' liquidity
requirements, but which have not yet been drawn upon.
The contingent liabilities include guarantees for providers of
collective and individual pension savings plans, as required
by government authorities. The likelihood of an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits is very low.
