    S.A. minimum capital requirements including buffers (9)

    The key drivers of change in RWA consumption quarter on quarter were as follows:

    • Credit risk: Portfolios subject to the AIRB approach have increased by R12bn as a result of exposure growth in Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB). Portfolios subject to the SA have increased by R6.5bn mainly due to asset growth outside of South Africa as well as exchange rate fluctuations.
    • CCR: Thedecrease in CCR of R0.7bn is in line with market volatility, specifically exchange rate fluctuations.
    • Market risk: The decrease in market risk of R8.3bn is due to lower levels of Value at Risk (VaR) and Stressed Value at Risk (sVaR) in the three-month averaging period.
