* Minimum capital requirement is arrived at by using capital adequacy ratio including all regulatory buffers on RWA for respective reporting periods (September 2025 -13.59% ).
Leverage Ratio
The Basel 3 leverage ratio is calculated by dividing the period-end tier 1 capital by the period-end leverage ratio denominator (LRD), as summarized in the tables below.

*Includes adjustments for acceptances and intangible assets. Acceptances are treated as off-balance sheet exposure.
The LRD consists of IFRS on-balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet exposures. Derivative exposures are adjusted for a number of items, including replacement value and eligible cash variation margin netting, the current exposure method add-on and net notional amounts for written credit derivatives.
The table on the next page shows the reconciliation between total IFRS assets and the BCBS total on-balance sheet exposures. IFRS assets are the starting point for calculating the BCBS LRD, as shown in the LR2 table in this section. The difference is due to the application of the regulatory scope of consolidation for the purpose of the BCBS calculation. In addition, carrying amounts for derivative financial instruments and securities financing transactions (SFTs) are deducted from IFRS total assets. They are measured differently under BCBS leverage ratio rules and are therefore added back in separate exposure line items in the LR2 table.
