4.3.4 Off-balance-sheet financial instruments
The guarantees and standby letters of credit that Rabobank
provides to third parties in the event of a client being unable
to fulfil its obligations to these third parties, are also exposed
to credit risk. Documentary and commercial letters of credit
and written undertakings by Rabobank on behalf of clients
authorise third parties to draw bills against Rabobank up to
a fixed amount and subject to specific conditions. As these
transactions are secured by the delivery of the underlying
goods to which they relate, the risk exposure of such
an instrument is less than that of a direct loan.
Loan commitments are firm commitments to provide credit
under pre-specified terms and conditions and are included
in credit related contingent liabilities. Rabobank is exposed
to credit risk when it promises to grant loans. The amount
of any losses is likely to be less than the total of the unused
commitments because the commitments are made subject to
the clients meeting certain loan conditions. Rabobank monitors
the term to the expiry of loan commitments because long-term
commitments generally involve higher risk than short-term
commitments.
4.3.5 Credit quality of financial assets
In its financing approval process, Rabobank Group uses the
Rabobank Risk Rating, which reflects the risk of failure or the
probability of default (PD) of the loan relation over a period of
one year. The table below shows the loan quality of the loan-
related balance sheet items after deduction of the impairment
allowance. The loan-quality categories are determined on
the basis of the internal Rabobank Risk Rating. The Rabobank
Risk Rating consists of 21 performance ratings (R0-R20) and
four default ratings (D1-D4). The performance ratings assess
the probability of default within a period of one year and the
rating is determined, in principle, on a cyclically neutral basis.
D1-D4 ratings refer to default classifications. D1 represents
90 days' past due (depending on local conditions this may be
extended to more than 90 days); D2 indicates high probability
that the debtor is unable to pay; D3 indicates that the debtor's
assets will most likely need to be liquidated due to default; and
D4 indicates bankruptcy status. The default ratings make up the
total impaired exposure. The 'vulnerable' category consists of
performance ratings which are not (yet) classified as impaired.
The other financial assets with a counterparty risk (e.g. cash and
balances at central banks, available for sale assets) are of good
quality as the exposure is with central banks or consist of
quoted government bonds.
