SUPERVISION MISSION The supervisory function of the Bank of Albania, as the central bank of the country, is carried out pursuant to the Law “On the Bank of Albania”, No. 8269 of 23/12/1997 and the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”, No. 9662 of 18/12/2006. The Bank of Albania, in compliance with its legal responsibilities as the supervisory authority of banks and other financial institutions licensed by the central bank to carry out financial activity: • Aims at ensuring a sound banking activity, by drafting and implementing policies and an appropriate and flexible regulatory framework, in line with the country’s development dynamics to safeguard the soundness of banks and the stability of the banking system and beyond, as well as to prevent financial crises and protect depositors; • Affects the stability of the banking system and beyond, by monitoring market developments and recommending necessary measures for supervised entities to adapt to such developments and be constantly managed according to the best practices; • Promotes market discipline, by requiring enhanced transparency about banking and financial products, and services; • Promotes a fair competition among supervised entities and aims at ensuring equal treatment of licensed entities and their customers, in compliance with relevant supervisory policies and effective rules. In this context, it is guided by the principle that the same types of financial risks and other issues relevant to regulation are subject to the same rules across all segments of the financial market to reduce the potential for regulatory arbitrage. The Bank of Albania fulfils its supervisory function by: a) Setting up and constantly improving the regulatory and supervisory framework, so that it is in line with the European directives for effective supervision, the country’s specifics, and the best practices; Bank of Albania 7 2011 Supervision Annual Report b)Regulating the entry into the market of potential banks, shareholders and administrators that have a good reputation based on verifiable and reliable sources of information; c) Conducting a proactive and effective supervision, by implementing principles of risk-based supervision through on-site examinations and off-site supervisory analysis, on an ongoing basis, of licensed entities’ indicators, and through corrective measures necessary to address supervisory concerns; d) Cooperating with supervised entities, other domestic financial institutions, foreign supervisory authorities, and foreign banks operating in the Republic of Albania through their branches or subsidiaries; In meeting its supervisory function requirements, the Bank of Albania strives for the highest level of integrity, professionalism, efficiency, transparency and constant improvement of its supervisory capacities. 8 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report B. SUPERVISION IN 2011; IMPLEMENTING THE MEDIUM-TERM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF BANKING SUPERVISION FOR 2009-2014 Supervision further consolidated its risk-based approach in 2011, pursuant to the medium-term development strategy of banking supervision. It focused on addressing important challenges generated from domestic and international economic developments that posed additional risks to the Albanian banking system. The euro-area situation continued to exert pressure on both performance of the financial system and paces of the real-economy growth in the continent. The country’s economic growth also slowed down, reflecting these developments, hence impairing the banking activity. These developments have clearly revealed the necessity for a proactive approach to banking supervision, so as to increase the banking system’s resilience to negative impacts generated from the external environment, hence safeguarding Albania’s financial stability. As a result, a prudential analytical process examining rigorously the external impacts on our banking system has helped inform the banking supervision. This process has taken into account a wide spectrum of variables related to the external environment, including, inter alia, the performance of the euro-area situation, position of large banking groups operating in Albania, regulatory and supervisory measures taken by the European Union authorities and counterparty supervision authorities, as well as any other relevant developments. All the information has been factored into likely scenarios on future developments and the prognosis of their effects, hence contributing to timely focussing of both on-site and off-site supervision on more critical risks and areas of activity. In this framework, the Bank of Albania - through its supervisory function in general, and the Supervision Department in particular, has played a key role in maintaining the banking system soundness, by introducing and adopting necessary supervisory, legal and regulatory measures in response to identified risks. This approach is used to address systemic issues - developments that transversally affect the whole banking system - and to make a micro-prudential supervision focusing on specific concerns of individual financial institutions. With a view to address systemic risks, an amendment was made to the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”, proposed by the Bank of Albania and providing the latter with broader competencies to manage systemic risk situations. Also, the macro-prudential approach to banking system developments led to several regulatory improvements along the year. Bank of Albania 9 2011 Supervision Annual Report On the other hand, specific issues of individual banks were addressed, by prudentially analysing the risk profile of each bank, focusing the supervisory process on risk areas that have a material impact on the bank’s financial health. This has led to a more efficient use of resources, hence determining the nature of on-site examinations conducted over 2011. Throughout the year, the entire supervisory process laid emphasis on the promotion and taking of measures for enhancing responsibility, rigorously managing banking system risks, and observing prudential norms set by the Bank of Albania. In the light of this, both supervisors and banks focused their efforts on strengthening credit and liquidity risk management processes, as well as on good capitalisation to hedge against those risks, as required by the Bank of Albania. A dialogue with the banking system was an important element in sharing attitudes about developments and preparing more effective measures in response to them, thus juxtaposing the supervisory approach versus the market approach. This dialogue aimed at encouraging banks to take an active role in mitigating and preventing risks, going beyond mere compliance with the regulatory framework. This philosophy of supervision is based on key elements of the medium-term supervision development strategy, further development of human resources, the methodology and regulatory framework, and close cooperation with international authorities. The following sections address each element, while the report provides details on supervision and banking system developments over 2011, by area of activity and relevant risks. HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT Human resources development continued in 2011, including hiring new staff in line with the organisational structure needs and expanding training to the whole staff, taking care that the adoption of new supervision methodologies is associated with the building of necessary capacities to use them efficiently during the supervisory process. METHODOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT The work for a thorough reviewing of examination manuals intensified in 2011, by furthering the adoption of modern supervision concepts based on relevant European standards, perfecting the relevant risk assessment systems and properly structuring the criteria of exercising the supervisory competencies in line with the second pillar of Basel II. DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND APPROXIMATION WITH EUROPEAN UNION DIRECTIVES Ongoing approximation of regulations with European standards remains an important goal to achieve harmonisation with the European experience. In 10 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report this regard, a great attention has been paid to continuing the work for drafting a new regulation on capital adequacy, a major project having started since 2010. The Bank of Albania has cautiously attended the latest tendencies in the field of regulation, hence responding to global market developments and at the same time, starting the work for improving the framework of banks’ responsible management, a fundamental condition to ensure a stable and sound banking system. COOPERATION WITH INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITIES In 2011, the work for implementing the banking supervision development strategy was associated with an intensive cooperation with the Bank of Italy under the Twinning Project that had started since end-2010, on the project areas, which include on-site and off-site supervision, regulation and reporting, and the information technology. Also, the Bank of Albania continued its close cooperation with other international institutions, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to comprehensively strengthen the supervisory capacities and to flexibly respond to impacts stemming from recent global financial market developments. The year 2011 was characterised by a higher cooperation and coordination of work with the USAID, under its financial sector development program in Albania, implemented by the FSVC. The cooperation with this institution is regarded as long-term and extends until 2015. Also, a detailed analysis of the current staff needs for assistance has identified a wide range of topics to be addressed according to a detailed schedule, aiming at expanding their knowledge in view of human capacity development. Bank of Albania 11 2011 Supervision Annual Report C. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK AND LICENSING PROCESS 1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK In 2011, the work for finalizing several new regulations and amendments on banking supervision continued. The process for reviewing the supervisory regulatory framework took place in line with the Basel Committee standards, EU directives and best practices in banking regulation and development in the Albanian banking system. 1.1 NEW REGULATIONS RELEVANT TO BANKING SUPERVISION Regulation “On operational risk management” (approved by decision No. 03 of 19/01/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) sets out the rules and qualitative requirements on operational risk management in the activity of banks and branches of foreign banks, non-bank financial institutions, as well as savings and loan associations and their unions. Drafting the new regulation was out of necessity to handle operational risks, i.e., to manage this specific risk category present in all operations, and in banking and/or financial products. Regulation “On minimum security requirements where banking and financial activities are conducted” (approved by decision No. 04, dated 19/01/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) is a thorough reviewing of the previous regulation. It was driven by continuous requests submitted by the Banker’s Association for easing the detailed technical specifications under the existing regulation, the problems arising from licensed entities and the so-far experience in the process of their supervision. The reviewed regulation sets out the minimum security requirements for institutions licensed by the Bank of Albania to exercise banking and financial activities, aiming at their smooth and secure operation. Regulation “On certified bank auditor” (approved by decision No. 42, dated 15/06/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council), a complete reviewing of the existing regulation, is aimed at aligning this regulation with the new requirements of the Law “On Banks” and the Law “On Legal Audit”. 12 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report The reviewed regulation sets out the criteria and procedures for approving a certified auditor by the Bank of Albania, the audit content for the purposes of the Bank of Albania, and the relations between certified auditors of banks and foreign bank branches, and the Bank of Albania. Regulation “On credit risk management” (approved by decision No. 62, dated 14/09/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) sets out the rules for credit risk management in banks and foreign bank branches, the criteria for risk assessment, loan classification and other assets, as well as the calculation of respective provisions. The reviewing of this regulation arouse from the need to review the loan classification criteria so as to simplify them and focus on those criteria that relate to primary source of liability settlement. Also, it stipulates credit risk mitigation techniques, providing details on financial guarantees and collaterals that the supervisory authority will initially recognise as exposure reduction techniques – an important part of the credit risk management process. AMENDMENTS TO THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK Amendments to the Regulation “On consumer credit and mortgage to households” and Regulation “On transparency for banking and financial products and services” (approved by decision No. 13 and 14, dated 09/03/2011 by the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) aimed at strengthening the requirements of the supervisory authority on: a) transparency about fees and methodology of their calculation; b) keeping the interest rate calculation methodology unchanged over the loan duration; c) periodic reporting by institutions on loan and deposit interest rates and applicable fees for all products and services; and d) their publication by the Bank of Albania; e) including maximum compensation limits in the event of early loan repayment, etc; Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing and activity of banks and branches of foreign banks in the Republic of Albania” (approved by decision No. 33, dated 11/05/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council), aimed to include the service of safety boxes as a financial activity that banks and branches of foreign banks in the Republic of Albania may conduct conform to stipulations of the Civil Code of the Republic of Albania; Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing and activity of non-bank financial institutions” (approved by decision No. 43, dated 15/06/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) pertain to exempting the banks and branches of foreign banks from the requirements of this regulation for approval of money transfer services, when the entities have been licensed for payment and money transfer services; Amendments to the Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio” (approved by decision No. 63, dated 14/09/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) pertain to stipulating requirements for banks to weight the risk Bank of Albania 13 2011 Supervision Annual Report coefficient to 150 per cent of the loan in the event of lending beyond the territory of their business and when they lack the presence of a subsidiary, branch or agency, an activity that carries over potential risks compared to lending within the territory of the Republic of Albania; Amendments to the Regulation “On liquidity risk management” (approved by decision No. 75, dated 26/10/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council) pertain to taking preventive measures against negative impacts from recent developments in the region on Albania’s banking system and stability, stipulating prudential requirements for banks, in particular for quantitative indicators; The decision “On an addition to banking activities” (approved by decision 81, dated 14/12/2011) was repealed on the grounds that it is a bylaw that has lost its legal basis and actuality, since financial activities that may be exercised by banks and/or branches of foreign banks are currently stipulated comprehensively in the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”. Amendments to the Regulation “On licensing, organisation, activity and supervision of foreign exchange bureaus” approved by decision No. 82, dated 14/12/2011 of the Bank of Albania Supervisory Council, pertain to several corrections and additions to technical conditions and other terms, which have arisen during on-site examinations over these institutions. 2. LICENCING 2.1 GRANTING A LICENCE, PRELIMINARY APPROVAL The Law No. 8269, dated 23/12/1997 “On the Bank of Albania”, amended, the Law No. 9662, dated 18/12/2006 “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”, amended (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Banks, for simplicity) and the regulatory framework provide the Bank of Albania with the authority and responsibility to license and supervise the entities conducting banking and financial business in the Republic of Albania. The purpose of licensing as a means of supervision is to conduct a safe and sound activity of financial and banking entities, with an immediate objective to prevent any activities that may negatively impact on their functioning in the system. Through the licensing and preliminary approval, the Bank of Albania may control financial operations and transactions of banks and non-bank financial institutions in accordance with the requirements for an effective legal framework. The licensing as a means of supervision carries out two functions: • • 14 Early detection and prevention of decisions and transactions that may provide a negative impact on future operations of banks and nonbank financial entities; and Implementation of supervisory measures by licensed entities. Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report As at end-2011, the entities licensed and supervised by the Bank of Albania are 16 banks, 19 non-bank financial institutions, one representative office of a foreign bank, 301 foreign-exchange bureaus, 126 savings and loan associations and two savings and credit unions. The banking sector structure consists of 13 private-capital banks and three private domestic and foreign capital banks (as shown by chart 1), while the structure of non-bank financial institutions consists of five non-bank financial institutions with foreign private capital, two institutions with foreign and domestic private capital, two institutions with domestic public capital and ten institutions with private domestic capital. Foreign-exchange bureaus and savings and loan associations are in private domestic ownership. Chart 1 Financial and banking sector structure BANK OF ALBANIA Commercial banks (16) Foreign private capital (81%) Foreign and domestic private capital (19%) Non-bank financial institutions (19) Domestic private capital (53%) Domestic public capital (11%) Foreign private capital (26%) Foreign exchange bureaus (301) Unions of SLAs (2) and SLAs (124) Representative office (1) Domestic private capital (100%) Foreign and domestic private capital (11%) According to the Law on Banks, the Bank of Albania is the licensing and supervising authority for banks, non-bank financial institutions, savings-loan associations and their unions, and foreign exchange bureaus. Pursuant to the Law “On Banks” and the regulatory framework, the Bank of Albania takes decisions related, inter alia, to: • • • • • • Granting or revoking a licence to banks, non-bank financial institutions, savings and loans associations and their unions, and foreign exchange bureaus; Preliminary approval for carrying out additional financial activities not included in the bank licence annex, by banks and non-bank financial institutions; Preliminary approval for transferring the ownership of a qualifying holding, or the control of a bank/financial institution to a third party; Preliminary approval for increasing the percentage of a shareholder with qualifying holding exceeding 20, 33 or 50% of the bank’s capital; Preliminary approval for managers of banks and non-bank financial institutions; Preliminary approval for the expansion of a bank’s network; Bank of Albania 15 2011 Supervision Annual Report • • Preliminary approval for money transfer agents acting for the account of non-bank financial institutions licensed by the Bank of Albania; Bank notifications. In 2011, licensing consisted in granting a new licence to non-bank financial institutions and to foreign exchange bureaus. Specifically, in 2011, three associations applied to operate as non-bank financial institutions and were granted a licence by the Bank of Albania. They are: M-Pay Ltd., and Omnifactor Ltd., which provide, respectively, money services and money transfers (M-Pay) and factoring (Omnifactor). As at end-2011, the number of non-bank financial institutions was 19. In April 2012, a licence to conduct factoring was granted to “ZIG FACTORING” Ltd., taking the number of nonbank institutions operating in this area to three. Pursuing the trend observed over the past years, in 2011, banks and non-bank financial institutions applied for expanding their activity and for providing new financial and banking products and services. More specifically, during 2011, the Tirana Bank, Credins Bank, Branch of Alpha Bank-Albania, Société Générale Bank Albania, and AK-INVEST - a non-bank financial institution applied for the Bank of Albania’s consent to carry out financial activities not included in the licence annex. These activities consist mainly in: a)Lending (AK-INVEST); b)Trading for the account of banks or for the account of clients, whether on a foreign exchange, in an over-the-counter market (OTC), or otherwise the following: a. Derivative instruments, included but not limited to futures and options; b.Transferrable securities; c. other negotiable instruments and financial assets, including transactions in gold; d.Intermediation in monetary transactions for compensating and managing assets, such as cash or portfolio management, fund management, custodial, depository and trust services; e.Provision of guarantees and receipt of commitments. These activities affect the development of the Albanian financial market, mainly by trading financial instruments of interest to financial institutions and their clients. Adding activities to banks and non-bank financial institutions is aimed at diversifying their products and services, and providing opportunities to their clients for more savings investment options, other than the conventional ones. This expanded banking and financial scope enhances competition in the banking and financial sector by offering more attractive products and services. Electronic banking products have been implemented by almost all banks (14 banks altogether), which have now entered a new phase that consists in upgrading them technologically and providing a variety of services to 16 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report clients. We would mention here the Credins Bank, which was the first to apply and receive the Bank of Albania’s consent for using pre-paid cards, thereby meeting the additional needs of certain customer segments. Moreover, the market is completed with electronic banking services. In 2011, the VisionFund Albania Ltd., - a non-bank financial institution – submitted an application to the Bank of Albania for transferring the ownership of its partner’s qualifying holding to a third party and the Bank of Albania granted its consent. The Bank of Albania granted its preliminary approval for increasing the percentage of the shareholder’s qualifying holding in the Credins Bank and the National Commercial Bank, exceeding 20% and 50% of the capital, respectively. The Bank of Albania granted its preliminary approval to 61 applications by banks and 4 applications by non-bank financial institutions, for administrators appointed pursuant to the Law “On Banks in the Republic of Albania”. Approval of new administrators was granted for 20 steering committee members, 7 audit committee members, 3 general directors, 2 deputy general directors, 29 heads of departments/divisions/directories and 4 directors (managers) of non-bank financial institutions. Expansion of the banks’ network within the country continued in 2011, pursuing the low rates observed over the past two years. As at end-2011, there were 528 branches and agencies of foreign banks operating within the territory of the Republic of Albania, and one branch operating abroad.

It is worth mentioning that the number of applications, compared to the effect of rapidly increased number of foreign exchange bureaus licensed over the past years, is lower, with 19 newly licensed foreign exchange bureaus. Of the the period 19991-2011, when the foreign exchange activity has been carried out by entities licensed by the Bank of Albania, the year 2008 hit record highs as regards new entries in the foreign exchange market, with 77 new licences, while the year 2011 represents a decline in it. Aiming at further easing the licensing procedure for a foreign exchange bureau, at end-2011, several new amendments and alterations were made to the relevant regulation. They consisted in both reviewing the documentation to further reduce it and easing the examination process of their operational conditions to shorten the licensing terms. This regulation entered into force on February 2012. During 2011, the Bank of Albania granted a licence to all of the submitted applications. Foreign Source: Bank of Albania. exchange bureaus are licensed according to related criteria and are located and operate across 24 major cities of Albania. In terms of their geographical distribution by district, they are mostly concentrated in Tirana. Compared with the past years, the year 2011 highlighted a slight increase (by only 0.1%) in the total number of foreign exchange bureaus opened in Tirana, as a result of distribution of foreign exchange bureaus in other districts of the country.

An important part of activity of many foreign exchange bureaus is their operating as money transfer agents for the account of two financial institutions licensed by the Bank of Albania, i.e., for AK-INVEST and Financial Union of Tirana. This process, which started in 2009, pursuant to the requirement for formalising the money-transfer market by approving agents of non-bank financial institutions that carry out money transfer operations for their account, is already complete. Though various entities have submitted their applications for carrying out this activity, the increase remains modest. As at end-2011, the number of money transfer agents approved by the Bank of Albania to operate for the account of non-bank financial institutions (AK-Invest and Financial Union of Tirana) totalled 246.

The requests for licence revocation were made by the approved entities, as well as by the Financial Union of Tirana and AK-Invest. Also, there were neither any licence applications, nor any licence revocation requests by savings and loan associations. Hence, as at end-2011, there are 2 unions of savings and loan associations, 124 savings and loan associations that are members of their unions, and 2 independent savings and loan associations. The following structural changes in bank ownership consist in changing the qualifying holding to bank shareholders’ equity. No approval by the Bank of Albania is required for such changes; however, the Law on Banks requires the entities to notify the Bank of Albania of them. More specifically, the Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania and the Credins Bank reported changes in their shareholders’ equity structure, while the Emporiki Bank-Albania, Union Bank, National Commercial Bank, Alpha Bank-Albania, Credins Bank, Veneto Bank and First Investment Bank increased their equity through cash injected by their shareholders or through capitalization of their past years’ profits. Also, in 2011, three non-bank financial institutions increased their equity through cash injected by their shareholders or through capitalization of their past years’ accumulated profits. More specifically, Tirana Leasing, Besa Fund and NOA notified of their equity growth. Cooperation with foreign authorities continued in 2011.The licensing office continued communicating with relevant authorities from other central banks on the reputation of foreign administrators proposed by banks. Also, regular contacts were kept and reciprocal information was shared with domestic authorities.

The expanded network of bank branches and agencies and the increased number of their employees has led to significantly improved access to and use of banking services, as well as to improved quality of their provision. However, the average number of people per bank, banking unit and bank employee was downward due to a higher number of bank branches, agencies and employees in 2011 (Table 6). 20 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report Table 6 Banking system statistical indicators Number of banks Number of employees Number of branches/agencies inside the country Average number of employees per: - Bank - Banking unit Number of population (000) Number of population per: - Bank - Banking unit - Bank employee Source: Bank of Albania. 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 17 17 16 16 16 3,479 4,189 5,155 6,493 6,404 250 294 399 511 524 205 246 322 406 400 14 14 13 13 12 3,149 3,152 3,170 3,193.9 3,195 185,235 185,424 197,013 199,619 199,688 12,596 10,722 7,945 6,250 6,097 905 752 615 492 499 2010 2011 16 16 6384 6714 529 534 399 420 12 13 N/A 2,831.7 N/A 176,984 N/A 5,303 N/A 422 Table 7 Activities carried out by non-bank financial institutions Payment service Financial Union of Tirana Albanian Post Office Credins Leasing Leasing Ak-Invest Tirana Leasing Credins Leasing Fin-Al Raiffeisen Leasing NOA (former Landeslease Opportunity Albania) EASYPAY (former ISCS) Sogelease M-PAY Lending Microcredit VisionFund Credins Leasing Albania NOA (former Opportunity Albania) Capital Invest Besa Fund First Albanian Financial Development Company - FAF Factoring Albanian Factoring Services (AFS) Omnifactor Transit Ak-Invest Table 8 Bank network expansion in 2011 No. Banks 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Raiffeisen Bank National Commercial Bank United Bank of Albania Veneto Banka Tirana Bank National Bank of Greece – Albania branch International Commercial Bank Alpha Bank - Albania Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Albania ProCredit Bank Emporiki Bank Credit Bank of Albania Credins Bank Société Générale Albania (former Banka Popullore) Union Bank First Investment Bank TOTAL Bank of Albania No. of branches in the country 103 53 4 9 52 5 9 46 17 24 13 1 34 44 15 5 434 No. of No. of branches No. of branches agencies outside Albania and agencies 103 4 1 58 2 6 9 4 56 22 27 9 46 14 31 17 41 11 24 2 3 6 40 44 14 29 4 9 100 1 535 21 2011 Supervision Annual Report D. PERFORMANCE AND RISK ANALYSIS OF THE BANKING SYSTEM AND NON-BANK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 1. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT During 2011, the country’s economy was characterized by a positive but slow growth, slightly stimulating fiscal policy, relatively stable exchange rate, lower risk premium and weak demand-generated inflationary pressures. Despite the positive economic growth rate, the Albanian economy remained below its potential; the average annual inflation fluctuated around the Bank of Albania’s target and the main macroeconomic balances fluctuated around the previous year’s levels. Global economic growth slowed down in 2011. The European public debt crisis and its impact on the overall climate of confidence among investors and in the financial markets contributed significantly to the slowdown. Economic weakening in industrialized countries conditioned the overall global economic performance by affecting the external demand of the developing countries, whose exports are an important driver of growth. Albanian economy expanded by 3.1% in 2011. It continued to be supported by external demand, albeit to a small extent, reflecting the global economic slowdown. Domestic demand was sluggish and was formed mainly from the fiscal sector’s contribution in the first half of the year. The economic growth structure was balanced due to impact from production and services sectors. Private sector credit continued to support the economic growth. A better liquidity situation, improved health of bank balance sheets and downward trend of borrowing costs have favoured the growth of credit to the economy along the year. Credit to the economy increased in both segments - business loans and household loans. However, the demand for loans remained weak due to slowing economic activity, the uncertainty surrounding the economic outlook and the banks’ reluctance to lend. The Bank of Albania moved the key interest rate three times in 2011, to 4.75%. Of these moves, it increased in March, and was lowered in September and November. Subsequently, the interbank borrowing rates reflected these moves. Hence, the average interbank rate performed in line with the monetary policy signal. Overall, the national-currency borrowing cost followed a downward trajectory, with a tendency to increase lending in the national currency. 22 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report However, on a year earlier, demand for financing and deposit interest rates resulted lower but attractive for collecting lek and foreign currency savings. 2. BANKING SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS The year 2011 was characterised by fairly positive developments in lending. The banking system continued lending to domestic economy, with a significantly higher pace of loan portfolio growth than in the previous year. Though credit risk in the system appears higher against the background of increased non-performing loans, the maintaining of a good level of bank capital adequacy ratio signifies that the overall risk level remains in check. This indicator exceeded significantly the 12% regulatory minimum threshold. Banks’ capitalisation was supported by their capital injections in response to increased non-performing loans, hence leading to a decreased banking system profit. Banking system highlights in 2011 1. Total outstanding credit of the banking system increased by 15.3%, significantly higher on a year earlier (9.1% in 2010); 2. Gross non-performing loans to gross loan portfolio deteriorated to 18.77% in 2011, from 13.96% in 2010; 3.Loan loss provisioning remained at a good level, reflecting almost the same pace of increase as in non-performing loans, recording 51.8% in 2011, from 52.7% in 2010; 4. Capital adequacy ratio is above the 12% regulatory minimum threshold, almost similar to the previous year’s figure, slightly up, to 15.6%, from 15.4% as at end-2010; 5.The banking system net profit is positive, to ALL 706.3 million, though lower on a year earlier due to increased expenses and loan provisions and decreased income from other operations; 6. RoAA and RoAE – profitability indicators – remained positive, to 0.07 and 0.76%, respectively, though slightly downward on a year earlier due to decreased net profit. 3. BANKING SYSTEM STRUCTURE 3.1 EQUITY OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE Banking system’s paid-in capital increased by ALL 12.5 billion in 2011, or 16.8% from 2010. Foreign capital continued to provide the major contribution, accounting for 94.7% of the system’s growth. Foreign capital increased by ALL 11.9 billion, or 17.2%, while Albanian capital increased by ALL 670 million, or 12% from 2010. As a result, the share of foreign Bank of Albania 23 2011 Supervision Annual Report capital in the Albanian banking system increased by 92.8%, from 92.5% as at December 2010. Chart 7 Banking system equity ownership structure, 2011 100% Foreign capital originating from the European Union continues to hold the highest share in the banking system’s equity structure.

In 2011, similar to the previous two years, the network of branches and agencies operating in the country expanded at low rates. Hence, the number of branches and agencies operating in the country reached 534, from 529 as at end-2010, while one branch conducts its activity outside the territory of the Republic of Albania. 3.3 ASSET AND LIABILITY STRUCTURE 3.3.1 Asset and liability structure Total banking system assets increased by ALL 129.5 billion in 2011, or 13.1%, exceeding the previous year’s pace of increase (which was ALL 104.3 billion, or 11.8% in 2010). The loan portfolio increased significantly from the previous year, up by ALL 75.3 billion or 15.3%, from up by ALL 40.9 billion or 9.1% in 2010. The degree of banking system intermediation in the economy and the contribution of lending continued to pick up in line with the recent years’ trend, reflected in a higher share of total assets and loans to Gross Domestic Product. As at end-2011, they were 84.6% and 42.8%, respectively, from 81.0% and 40.1% in the previous year.

Bank of Albania 29 2011 Supervision Annual Report As at end-2011, the loan portfolio structure by economy sectors (referring only to resident customers) did not undergo any significant changes compared to the previous year. Trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances had the largest concentration of loans, followed by the construction sector and the processing industry. In absolute terms, ‘trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances’, ‘production and distribution of electricity, gas and water’, and ‘processing industry’ are the economy sectors with the largest annual growth. In terms of the system-wide share and loan quality by economy sectors, it appears that construction sector holds the highest level of NPLs, followed by processing industry, trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances.

As at end-2011, the analysis of the loan portfolio structure as per credit rating evidences a lower share of qualitative loans and a higher share of non-performing loans. In the qualitative loan portfolio, standard loans reduced their share while special mention loans increased their share slightly. Concerning the non-performing loan portfolio, the three categories evidenced a higher share; however, the share of sub-standard and loss loans recorded the highest increase.

The growth rate of loan loss provisions was almost similar to that of non-performing loans. Consequently, as at end-2011, the ratio of loan loss provisions to non-performing loans, which measures the level of coverage with provisions, was estimated at about 51.8%, almost similar to end-2010 (52.7%). 5 This indicator is measured considering outstanding loans and non-performing loans, excluding loan loss provisioning.

As at end2011, business non-performing loan ratio stood at 20.8%, while household non-performing loan ratio stood at 15.8%. The analysis of the business loan portfolio quality, based on the level of nonperforming loans by sectors of economy combined with the specific share of the sector in total business portfolio, shows that the sectors of trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances, construction, processing industry and hotels and restaurants6 appear the most problematic in the economy.

While, for the sectors of “processing industry” and “hotels and restaurants”, they stood at 21.0% and 45.0%, respectively. 32 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report Unlike the previous year-end, the loan portfolio denominated in foreign currency shows a higher non-performing loan ratio estimated at 19.6% compared to that in the Albanian lek, which stands at 16.9%. Within the loan portfolio denominated in foreign currency, classified as unhedged against exchange rate risk, non-performing loans account for 18.89% of the total. During December 2010 – December 2011, foreign currency non-performing loans unhedged against exchange rate risk increased by 6.34 percentage points. Euro non-performing loans unhedged against exchange rate risk accounted for 20.3% in 2011, up 6.69 percentage points. For the same period, euro’s exchange rate, on quarterly basis, was volatile, thus weakening the direct linkage between the exchange rate performance and nonperforming loans. US dollar non-performing loans unhedged against exchange rate risk accounted for 9.95%, up by about 3.45 percentage points. Similiar to euro’s exchange rate, US dollar’s exchange rate, on quarterly basis, was constantly volatile.

Liquidity in the system displayed a rising trend also due to the regulatory amendments that became effective at end-2011. The improved liquidity situation can be also viewed in terms of proportionality between currencies. The Albanian banking system has, in the recent years, been characterized by liquidity excess in the national currency versus a lower share of liquid reserves denominated in foreign currency. This trend, however, seems to have shifted in 2011. In December 2011, foreign currency liquidity increased its share in total liquid assets in the system. 34 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report 4.2.1 Banking System Deposits Chart 20 Total customer deposits Customer deposits remain the main and most stable source of financing for the Albanian banking system. As at end-2011, customer deposits in the system amounted to ALL 924 billion. Deposits in the system grew in 2011, albeit slightly lower (13%) than in 2010. Similar to 2010, deposits denominated in foreign currency contributed the most to this growth. In terms of currency, the share of deposits has now balanced, displaying higher proportionality between deposits denominated in the Albanian lek and foreign currency.

Transactions with banks and financial institutions (with remaining maturity of up to 7 days) account for about 25% of liquid assets. At the end of 2011, some amendments to the Regulation “On Liquidity Risk Management” became effective. In addition to the restraints of the existing regulation, which related to the low counterparty rating on investment in Chart 23 Liquid assets by currency December 2011 December 2010 Other 2% Other 2% EUR 21% EUR 24% USD 6% USD 8% ALL 71% ALL 66% Source: Bank of Albania. 36 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report tradable securities and non-resident placements, similar restraints were also set on investments in the form of deposits or current accounts, lending to non-resident institutions and investment securities, for non-resident counterparties. A haircut system was applied on these instruments, based on the counterparty ratings assigned by the international rating agencies. These amendments also consisted in the increase of the minimum liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio from 20% to 25% and the beginning of the application of two separate thresholds on this ratio for the Albanian lek and foreign currency. Banks responded swiftly to the Bank of Albania’s decision by increasing their liquidity. All banks observed the new regulatory threshold on this ratio of 25%. As at end-December 2011, liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio stood at 33.1% compared to 30.6% in 2010. This ratio in Lek was estimated at 43%, similar to the previous year, while that in foreign currency stood at 23%, compared to 18% at end-2010. The higher ratio is entirely attributed to the increase in the foreign currency ratio due to the measures taken by banks in order to observe the new regulatory threshold of the liquid assets to short-term liabilities ratio by currency, since December 2011 was also the first period when the new minimum regulatory ratio of 20% in foreign currency had to be observed by the banks in the system. 4.2.4 Asset-Liability Gap Table 23 Up to 1- and 3-month maturity gap for the banking system Up to 1-month maturity gap (in ALL millions) Up to 3-month maturity gap (in ALL millions) Up to 1-month maturity gap/total assets (in %) Up to 3-month maturity gap/total assets (in %) Source: Bank of Albania.

This gap, albeit negative, narrowed compared to the previous year’s level of 14%, thereby providing evidence for the improved liquidity figures in the banking system at the end of the year. 4.2.5 Lending from Non-Resident Banks and Financial Institutions Lending from parent banks or other non-resident financial institutions represents one of the financial sources for some banks in the Albanian banking system. The amount of this type of financing continued to fall slightly compared to the previous year. Both in absolute and relative terms, this type of financing accounted for about 2% of total assets in the system, compared to 2.5% in December 2010. Expressed differently, these sources account for about 4.6% of total banks’ assets being financed through them. In addition, some of the banks in the Albanian system have been approved by their parent banks credit lines that are still being unused and they are recorded as off-balance sheet items. The possibility to use these credit lines, if needed, is considered positive for the liquidity situation of these banks. Worth noting is that the unused part of credit lines approved by parent banks in 2011 increased compared to the previous year to ALL 46.5 billion or 4.2% of total assets in the system. 4.2.6 Loan-to-Deposit Ratio The growth of deposits in 2011 was followed by a slightly higher growth of outstanding loans. This led to an inconsiderable increase in loan-todeposit ratio, which pursued a stable trend in 2011. In December 2011, loan-to-deposit ratio stood at 61%. This ratio shows higher figures for foreign currency (83%) than for the Albanian lek (39%), thus reflecting the Albanian banking system’s balance sheet structure. By currency, this ratio reflects the growth of deposits denominated in foreign currency, combined with a more moderate growth of outstanding loans in foreign currency during this period. Consequently, loan-to-deposit ratio in foreign currency reduced, while that in lek increased.

The use of liquidity from the central bank did not increase considerably in 2011. The share of the average volume of liquidity injected by the Bank of Albania, mainly through reverse repurchase agreements of one-week maturity, but also of one-month and three-month maturity, accounts for about 2% of total liabilities in the system, compared to 1.5% in 2010. Financing from resident banks, albeit at a very low level of less than 1%, continued in 2011 as well, providing evidence that banks resort to the interbank market to distribute operational risk both in the Albanian lek and in foreign currency. 4.3 MARKET RISK Exposure to interest rate risk, measured through the repricing mismatch between assets and liabilities of up to three months, amounted to ALL 51 billion, or 5.1% of earning assets. On a system level, this figure shows a low exposure to interest rate change risk. For longer maturity terms, the exposure shows an opposite direction and appears higher (ALL 79 billion); however, the stress test exercises carried out for this type of risk show a moderate impact of this risk on the banking sector’s capital adequacy. The share of these gaps by currency is also relatively low, despite the wider gap in euro and in the Albanian lek. On the other hand, the net open long position in the Albanian banking system amounted to ALL 3.88 billion or 3.94% of the system’s regulatory capital. This figure implies a low exposure of the Albanian banking system to exchange rate risk compared to the maximum regulatory threshold of 30%. The low exposure is also reflected in the stress test results on direct exchange rate risk. The capital required to cover market risks accounts for only 2.2% of the regulatory capital, while the total coverage of market and credit risks with capital for the entire system is estimated at 128.6% compared to 126.5% in 2010 and the minimum total coverage rate of 100%. 4.4 OPERATIONAL RISK The categorization and addressing of operational risk as an individual credit risk and as an integral part of the supervisory function of the Bank of Albania materialized as from January 2010, with the entry into force of the new organizational structure of the Supervision Department. This step was made in the framework of the convergence towards international approach to this type of risk (Basel II), where operational risk represents one of the main three risks banking institutions are exposed to. Bank of Albania 39 2011 Supervision Annual Report The work started in 2010 to develop supervisory tools for the assessment of operational risk as an individual risk category7 continued during 2011. The approval8 and entry into force of the Bank of Albania Regulation “On Operational Risk Management” in February 2011 has raised the attention in the banking and financial system for this type of risk. By providing its definition, the minimum organizational conditions and establishment of a reporting system at the Bank of Albania, the Regulation in question aims at ensuring a proactive supervision of operational risk in the system. Worth mentioning is the meeting held between the Albanian Association of Banks and Bank of Albania representatives to discuss unclear issues related to the requirements stemming from the Regulation “On Operational Risk Management”. This meeting sought and successfully managed to align the interpretations of parts of the Regulation and the reporting requirements under this Regulation. The Twinning Project with Banca d’Italia was particularly important in 2011. The cooperation on this particular type of risk aims at further developing the methodology and supervisory tools of operational risk. Through its on-site examinations and off-site surveillance carried out during 2011, the Bank of Albania noted a positive response of the banking system in terms of the compliance with the new operational risk management standards. 5.

This performance provides evidence for shareholders’ willingness to support banking activity. In the Albanian supervision practice, until January 2010, in the absence of a specific definition, the supervision of operational risk was addressed in the framework of other risks supervised by the Bank of Albania. 8 Decision No. 03, dated 19.01.2011, of the Supervisory Council of the Bank of Albania. 7 40 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report Table 25 Banking system’s shareholders’ equity and its components Indicator Shareholders’ equity Paid-in capital Share premium Reserve Revaluation difference Retained earnings/loss Earnings/loss for the period Source: Bank of Albania.

Regulatory capital Risk-weighted assets CAR Source: Bank of Albania. 41 2011 Supervision Annual Report Box Measuring the Capital Adequacy Ratio Capital adequacy ratio (CAR) determines bank’s ability to meet the obligations relative to its exposure to risks like credit risk, market risk and operational risk, in due time. Put in simpler terms, the CAR serves as a “cushion” against losses and protects bank depositors and lenders. In order to calculate the CAR, the Supervisory Council of the Bank of Albania has drafted and approved the Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio”. Definitions: CAR is the ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items, expressed as a percentage. CAR = Regulatory capital / Risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items Components: The numerator in the ratio is represented by: The bank’s regulatory capital, as calculated by the methodology described in the Guideline “On bank’s regulatory capital”. A bank’s regulatory capital consists of core capital and supplementary capital. a) • • b) • • • A bank’s core capital consists of: Elements that are added (subscribed capital, reserves (other than revaluation reserves), issue premiums, retained earnings, earnings at the end of the fiscal year, earnings for the reporting period and credit revaluation difference). Elements that are subtracted (subscribed capital unpaid, nominal value of bank’s shares held by bank, retained losses, losses during the fiscal period, debt revaluation difference and intangible fixed assets). A bank’s supplementary capital consists of: revaluation reserves; general reserves; and subordinated term/hybrid debt. The denominator of the ratio consists of the following risk-weighted amounts: - Balance sheet assets; - Off-balance sheet items representing term financial instrument contracts related to interest and exchange rates; - Other off-balance sheet items. Balance sheet items and off-balance sheet items are not equally risk-weighted. Based on the risk they pose, asset items and off-balance sheet items are assigned a coefficient, which expresses the level of risk to the financial institution. Based on the Bank of Albania’s Regulation “On capital adequacy ratio”9, banks risk-weight asset items and off-balance sheet items as follows: Assets: - at no risk are weighted at 0%; - at low risk are weighted at 20%; - at medium risk are weighted at 50%; - at high risk are weighted at 100% and 150%. Off-balance sheet items: - at low risk are weighted at 0%; - at moderate risk are weighted at 20%; - at medium risk are weighted at 50%; - at high risk are weighted at 100%. 9 42 For more information, please refer to the Bank of Albania’s Regulation “On Capital Adequacy Ratio” on Bank of Albania’s website www.bankofalbania.org Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report 5.2.1.

PROFITABILITY INDICATORS 6.1 NET PROFIT AND STRUCTURE The banking system’s net profit for 2011 was reported positive at ALL 706.3 million, which is lower than the previous year’s net profit at ALL 6,715 million. The lower profit owed mainly to the increase in loan loss provisions by about ALL 6,800 million in 2011, which was not sufficiently covered by the increase in net interest income, which rose by ALL 2,700 million in 2011. The analysis of the main components of income and expenses shows that the more moderate fall in net profit in the second half of 2011, compared to the first half, owes mainly to the doubling of net interest income. 6.2 PROFITABILITY INDICATORS The key profitability indicators, RoAA and RoAE fell in 2011. They, however, remained positive at 0.07% and 0.76%, respectively. This was due to the lower profit, while the increase in assets had a negligible impact.

December’11 0.07 0.76 June’11 0.22 2.43 December’10 0.72 7.58 As at end-2011, RoAA was estimated at 0.07%, the lowest figure in the last five years. The sharp fall in income was highly driven by the high loan loss provisions, which have a direct impact on the RoAA figure. Tables 28 and 29 show the banking system’s profitability from the main activity and the dynamics of the equilibrium between the collection of paying liabilities and investment in earning assets.

As at end-December 2011, NBFIs’ loan portfolio amounted to ALL 20.04 billion, on a gross basis, accounting for 3.54% of the banking system’s total loan portfolio, compared to 3.93% at end-2010. NBFIs’ loan portfolio increased slightly by ALL 0.74 billion in 2011 or by about 3.83%, due to the increase in the loan portfolio of financial leasing institutions by ALL 1.4 billion or 17.95%, which managed to offset the contraction by ALL 0.65 billion in the loan portfolio of lending and microcredit institutions. Despite the contracted loan portfolio, over the one year period, lending and microcredit NBFIs continued to make up the largest share in the loan portfolio, accounting for 55.4% of the total, followed by financial leasing institutions, 44.5%, and factoring institutions, only 0.13% of the loan portfolio. In contrast to the previous year, the analysis by currency shows that 53.9% of NBFIs’ loan portfolio is in the Albanian lek, compared to 40.2% in December 2010. Within the loan portfolio of NBFIs, 98.56% of lending to the economy through financial leasing is in foreign currency. By contrast, 96.54% of the loan portfolio of lending and microcredit institutions is in the Albanian lek. Concerning the structure of the loan portfolio by borrower, lending to businesses continued to dominate in 2011, accounting for 90.1% of NBFIs’ lending. The rest, 9.9%, represents lending to households. The composition of the loan portfolio by sectors of economy shows higher concentration in trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances (25.5%), followed by agriculture, hunting and forestry (11.4%) and construction (11.3%). By maturity term, medium-term loans (1-5 years) have the largest share in the loan portfolio, accounting for 75.2%, followed by short-term loans (up to 12 months) and long-term loans (over 5 years), which stand at almost similar levels at 12.6% and 12.2%, respectively. 12 NBFIs holding loan portfolios are: lending, microcredit, financial leasing and, as from the second half of 2011, factoring institutions.

Gross outstanding non-performing loans increased by ALL 0.3 billion in 2011. This was also reflected in the increase of gross non-performing loans, up 1.21 percentage points. The increase in loss loans provided the major contribution by about ALL 0.15 billion. 7.1.3 Prudential Requirements Pursuant to the effective legislation and regulatory framework, NBFIs report on the observance of a set of prudential requirements applied to their activity. NBFIs were well-capitalized in 2011 for the nature of the activities they conduct. However, there were a few cases in 2011 when some lending and microcredit NBFIs exceeded some of the prudential requirements, such as those on credit risk management, maximum allowed exposure and allowable open foreign currency position. The situation has been monitored constantly by the Bank of Albania and necessary measures have been recommended, in order for the NBFIs’ activity to return to within the allowed prudential requirements within a short period of time. 7.1.4 Profit of NBFIs NBFIs registered a net positive profit of ALL 0.88 billion13 in 2011, hence maintaining a similar profit level to the previous year. For the period under review, 13 out of 19 NBFIs ended the financial year at profit. Worth noting is that about 71% of the annual profit was made in the first half of 2011. Payment and money transfer NBFIs provided the major contribution in terms of profit, contributing by ALL 0.62 billion, followed by financial leasing NBFIs, by ALL 0.23 billion, and lending and microcredit NBFIs, by ALL 0.03 billion. 7.2.

Concerning the liquidity ratio, one of the unions was found to have violated the over 5-year loan-to-total deposit ratio, exceeding the regulatory standard of 10% by 4.4 percentage points. 7.2.3. Outstanding Loan Portfolio of Financial Unions and SLAs The loan portfolio of Unions and SLAs accounts for 0.46% and 0.80%, respectively, of total banking system loans, on a gross basis. The loan 14 SLAs’ network refers to total SLAs of the two unions: Jehona Union, ASCU and two separate SLAs. Bank of Albania 49 Table 35 Total assets of Unions and SLAs, December 2010-December 2011, in ALL billions 2011 Supervision Annual Report portfolio of Unions remained unchanged on a gross basis, while declining by ALL 0.04 billion on a net basis, as a result of the increase in loan loss provisions due to the worsened loan portfolio quality. Concerning the SLAs, the loan portfolio, gross, increased by ALL 0.04 billion or 1% from December 2010. SLAs’ loan portfolio, net, contracted by ALL 0.01 billion due to the worsened loan portfolio quality.

The loan portfolio quality worsened for the Unions and SLAs, mainly due to the higher loss loans. By branches of economy, SLAs’ loan portfolio remains oriented towards investment in agriculture, hunting and forestry (60.6%), followed by hotels and restaurants (22.1%) and trade, repair of vehicles and household appliances (12.6%). Concerning the currency, the loan portfolio of Unions and SLAs remained oriented towards lending in the Albanian lek in 2011. 7.2.4. Profit of Unions and SLAs Unlike the previous year, SLAs recorded a negative profit of ALL 21.74 million in 2011. While the Unions recorded a net positive profit of ALL 28.85 million, almost half as much as in 2010. Worth noting is that the two independent SLAs recorded a positive profit of ALL 4.36 million and ALL 1.2 million, respectively. 50 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report E. ON-SITE SUPERVISION 1. ON-SITE EXAMINATIONS On-site supervision is the main responsibility of Portfolio Management Office, which is responsible for evaluating the risk profile of licensed institutions, in co-operation with other risk-profiled sectors. The supervision of institutions seeks to guarantee that they carry out their financial activity soundly and in accordance with the legal, regulatory and supervisory framework requirements. The work is organized by combining the examination needs based on the supervisory cycle set by the supervision operational policy and the importance of concerns identified in individual banks with the efficient use of available human resources. 1.1 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF BANKING INSTITUTIONS The main purpose of on-site examinations carried out during 2011 was to make a full assessment of banks’ risk profile. In addition, examinations were initiated as a result of the emergence of specific phenomena in the licensed institutions. During 2011, the Bank of Albania carried out 6 full-scope examinations and 2 partial examinations of banking institutions. Concerns related to adherence to regulations. The banking system has generally operated in accordance with the legal, regulatory and supervisory framework requirements. However, several weaknesses were identified in terms of credit risk management practices, exposure to large risks, liquidity risk, customer transparency, etc. More specifically, several cases were identified in which the following requirements were not observed: • Regulation “On the Management of Risk Arising from Banks’ Large Exposures”. An excess of the 20% maximum allowed exposure of the regulatory capital to a beneficiary, in the form of exposure through lending or investment of funds in the form of deposits, was identified in on-site examinations. In addition, the 10% threshold of the regulatory capital for persons related to the bank and the maximum amount of loans approved to these persons were not observed in a few cases. Bank of Albania 51 2011 Supervision Annual Report On-site examinations also identified that, in a few cases, banks did not respect the responsible authority for the approval of loans in favour of persons related to the bank. • Regulation “On Credit Risk Management”. On-site examinations identified incorrect rating of loans and, consequently, insufficiency of loan loss provisions. Frequently, the level of additional loan loss provisions required during the examination has impacted banks’ net profit and another key prudential ratio, the capital adequacy ratio. In addition to the level of loan loss provisions, banks were recommended to take measures to improve lending policies and procedures, strengthen the analytical capacities of the bank’s risk structure, and improve the analysis of borrower’s financial position during the loan approval process. • Regulation “On Capital Adequacy Ratio”. The identified cases related to the correct rating of asset items and their weighting in accordance with the relevant risk category. • Regulation “On Basic Management Principles of Banks and Branches of Foreign Banks and Criteria for the Approval of their Administrators”. The identified cases related to the necessary documentation submitted to the Bank of Albania for the preliminary approval of administrators. • Regulation “On Liquidity Risk Management”. The identified cases related to the observance of the minimum liquid asset ratio. In addition to the regulatory threshold, non-compliance was also identified in banks’ internal policies and procedures for liquidity risk management. In accordance with the Regulation “On Liquidity Risk Management”, banks were required to make periodic stress test analyses, in order to identify and measure the bank’s exposure to liquidity risk in normal and extraordinary situations. • Regulation “On the Use of Information Technology and Communication in Institutions Licensed by the Bank of Albania”. The identified cases related to the improvement of the information technology and communication risk assessment, including the classification of systems and applications used and the identification of deficiencies and possible threats, improvement of business continuity plans based on the size and complexity of the institution, improvement of the archiving procedure of the back-up copy related to its frequency and location, improvement of bank’s internal regulatory framework, etc. • Regulation “On the Transparency of Banking and Financial Products and Services” related to the reporting to the Bank of Albania and the publication, in the bank’s premises, of the effective interest rate and the accuracy of its calculation, as well as the change in the terms and conditions of the contracts and/or provision of products and services. Regulation “On Minimum Standards for Operational Risk Management” • 52 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report related to certain aspects of operational risk management, such as the identification, monitoring and reporting to the responsible structures, collection of data on operating losses and conduct of an annual selfassessment campaign. • Regulation “On Prevention of Money Laundering” related to the classification of transactions by risk and application of due diligence. • Regulation “On Minimum Requirements for Information Disclosure by Banks and Branches of Foreign Banks”. • Regulation “On the Functioning of Credit Registry at the Bank of Albania” related to the accurate entry of data by files. • Regulation “On Foreign Exchange Activity” related to the accompanying documentation of transfers. 1.2 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF NON-BANK INSTITUTIONS During 2011, the Bank of Albania examined 5 non-bank financial institutions, of which 3 conduct financial leasing, 1 conducts lending activity and 1 provides payment and money transfer services. The examined financial leasing institutions were selected based on banks’ examination plan, pursuant to the regulatory requirements of consolidated supervision. While the examination of the lending institution was based on the level of risk and its organizational and decision-making developments. Examinations mainly focused on the assessment of quality in financial leasing and credit risk management processes. Particular focus was paid to the adequacy of internal structures for supporting the activity and the assessment of institutions’ financial performance and stability. Other important areas included compliance with the regulatory framework related to the observance of prudential requirements, public transparency, prevention of money laundering, information and communication technology and operational risk. Examinations identified the following main concerns: • Improvement of the lending process. A number of recommendations were made to improve the analyses of borrowers’ solvency, the accurate rating of the loan portfolio and the establishment of provisioning in accordance with the Regulation “On the Management of Risk in the Activity of Non-Bank Financial Institutions”. • Improvement of the internal regulatory framework. A number of recommendations were made to review and improve the internal regulatory framework in line with the internal structural developments of non-bank institutions and in accordance with all the effective Bank of Albania 53 2011 Supervision Annual Report regulatory requirements. Improvements were mainly required to be made in terms of establishing the criteria for the identification of related parties and procedures for monitoring credit and improvement of borrower’s financial statements. Non-bank institutions were also recommended to formulate procedures for public transparency related to customer complaints. 54 • Non-compliance with the prudential and regulatory standards related to large exposures to non-resident investments and excesses of exposure to credit risk. Non-bank institutions were required to make a plan to bring all the violated prudential standards back to within the thresholds, in order to ensure a sound functioning of the activity. • Non-compliance with the requirements of the Regulation “On the Management of Risk in the Activity of Non-Bank Financial Institutions” related to the violation of the limit of open foreign currency position. For the evidenced cases, measures were required in order to bring the exposure back to the limit. • Non-reporting to the Bank of Albania in accordance with the Law “On Accounting and Financial Statements” and international accounting standards. • Incomplete public transparency related to the completion of contracts with the NEI (Nominal Effective Interest Rate), inclusion of the credit settlement plan as part of the leasing/credit contract, incomplete information related to the risk of borrowing in foreign currency, the methodology of interest rate calculation and announcement for their change, publication of interest rates on loans and commissions on products and services being offered. • Incomplete compliance with the regulatory requirements for the prevention of money laundering. Non-bank institutions need to create the customers’ economic profile and categorize them by risk. They also need to improve their policies further pursuant to the Instruction “Knowing the client”, and their practical implementation; designate a person responsible for the prevention of money laundering on an administrators’ level, and formulate annual training plans and enhance their efficiency. • Information and communication technology and operational risk. Examinations identified concerns related to the auditing of non-bank institutions’ ICT from structures independent from those involved in the operational processes, the need to review the users’ profiles and divide the duties according to the processes, and develop a strategy about the support that the information technology will provide in the future. Concerning operational risk, necessary structures need to be created to manage this type of risk and relevant procedures on how to address this risk need to be developed. Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report 1.3 ON-SITE EXAMINATION OF THE ALBANIAN SAVINGS AND CREDIT UNION There are two Unions of Savings and Credit Associations operating in Albania: the Albanian Savings and Credit Union (ASCU) and Jehona Union. During 2011, the Bank of Albania examined the ASCU, which has the largest share in the activity of savings and loan associations (about 98% of total assets). The examination identified some concerns mainly related to the development stage of these institutions, the philosophy of their development and operation (principles of volunteer ownership and management, principles of mutual assistance rather than a desire to maximise profits etc.). Based on these concerns, the Bank of Albania identified the needs for legal and regulatory changes in order to ensure a more consolidated supervision of these entities (comparable to that of banks, whose activity is very much similar). The Bank of Albania has begun to work on formulating the relevant drafts. 2. PREVENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING AND TRANSPARENCY 2.1 EXAMINATIONS DURING 2011 In addition to off-site surveillance, the Supervision Department has also carried out on-site examinations on banks and non-bank financial institutions. During 2011, the Supervision Department examined 7 banks, 5 non-bank financial institutions and 11 foreign exchange bureaus for the compliance with the legal and regulatory framework, and transparency and prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism. In addition, in order to verify the operational conditions of institutions applying to carry out their activity in new premises or applying to be licensed by the Bank of Albania pursuant to the provisions of Article 14, paragraph 7 of the Regulation “On Licensing and Conduct of Activity of Banks and Branches of Foreign Banks in the Republic of Albania”, and Article 18, paragraph 1 of the Regulation “On Minimum Technical and Security Conditions of Premises in which Banking and Financial Activity is Conducted”, the Bank of Albania examined 30 foreign exchange bureaus during 2010. 2.2 BANKS AND NON-BANK FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS’ COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK for the PREVENTION OF MONEY LAUNDERING (PML), TRANSPARENCY AND SUPERVISORY STANDARDS The banking system generally complied with the Bank of Albania’s regulatory framework for the prevention of money laundering, transparency and compliance with the supervisory standards. More specifically: Bank of Albania 55 2011 Supervision Annual Report 2.2.1 Prevention of Money Laundering With regard to the prevention of money laundering and fight against terrorism financing, the Bank of Albania’s examinations found that the institutions have taken preventive measures in view of: • Creating adequate structures and formulating internal policies and a complete regulatory framework, reflecting the Law amendments and the Guideline requirements; • Improving banks’ electronic systems in order to establish a functional system for due diligence in relation to high-risk clients; • Organizing and participating in different trainings and seminars, in order to introduce the bank employees to the risks facing this sector in the area of money laundering and financing of terrorism and make them aware of; • Significantly increasing the reporting of doubtful transactions, in terms of number and quality, hence reflecting higher accountability and improved disclosure, particularly from banks, in the fight against financial crime; • Increasing the number of different typologies of reported cases, reflecting a deeper analysis, related to the identification of doubtful cases and, consequently, higher accountability in the fight against financial crime. Despite the measures taken by the examined institutions, the Bank of Albania’s examinations identified some concerns which generally consisted in the insufficiency of the effective risk management systems, particularly for the categories of customers and transactions requiring due diligence; concrete implementation of approved policies related to determining doubtful elements and admitting customers; frequency and focus of internal controls on the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism in relation to due diligence; customer identification through identification documents for amounts of no less than ALL 200.000 (for foreign exchange bureaus); indicators of abnormality, etc. In view of increasing the number and enhancing the quality of reporting of doubtful activities, during 2011, the Bank of Albania engaged in close cooperation with the General Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering. This cooperation consisted in the conduct of joint examinations, which focused on the categorization, identification of doubtful transactions and activities, and more frequent trainings of these entities, in order to raise the staff’s awareness and professionalism and further improve the identification of doubtful activities. 56 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report 2.2.2 Public Transparency Transparency and information disclosure were one of the areas under reform in 2011, both in terms of the regulatory framework and the steps required to comply with the new requirements arising from these regulatory amendments. The amendments to the Bank of Albania’s regulations on transparency, approved in March 201115, were indispensable. They sought to create a more adequate business climate for banks and higher public protection. However, while certain areas like deposits and accounts, disclosure and customer complaints are generally considered to be less problematic, loan contracts need further improvement. Although the contents of a loan contract are generally in accordance with the regulatory requirements in relation to the included elements, the paragraph providing for the loan interest rate remains problematic. A number of related complaints by bank customers were submitted to the Bank of Albania in 2011. This concern has also been the focus of the central bank’s examination of transparency and has pushed the Bank of Albania to take measures in 2011, including in particular the above-mentioned regulatory amendments. In the meantime, banks were committed to complying with the new regulatory requirements in the area of transparency and adopted their internal regulatory framework in line with these amendments. In the framework of the measures taken by the Bank of Albania, all banks operating in the Republic of Albania have their official website that provides information to the public. In view of enhancing public transparency, in August 2011, the Bank of Albania initiated the project for the standardization of banks’ reporting of interest rates on loans and deposits, and commissions on banking products and services. The testing process of reporting through the approved standard forms of commissions and interest rates on loans and deposits began in the third quarter of 2011. This process precedes the final publication of this information on the Bank of Albania’s official website. The impact of this project is expected to help and orient the consumers towards a better choice that suits their financial conditions. Concerning complaints, during 2011, the Supervision Department at the Bank of Albania handled a number of complaints (about 30) about institutions licensed and supervised by the Bank of Albania. In most cases, their solution goes beyond the competences of the Bank of Albania as the bank-customer relationship is regulated by written contracts and disputes arising from the non-observance of their conditions are handled by the competent authority, the Court. However, the raised concerns regarding institutions and customers were handled duly. 15 The latest amendments to the Bank of Albania Regulations No. 5 of 11.02.2009 “On consumer and mortgage lending to households” and No. 59 of 29.08.2008 “On the transparency for banking and financial products and services”. Bank of Albania 57 2011 Supervision Annual Report Non-bank financial institutions have made satisfactory efforts to comply with the Bank of Albania’s relevant regulatory requirements. However, on-site examinations have identified concerns mainly related to the contents of loan contracts; customer complaints’ management function and equipment of customers with receipts (in the case of foreign exchange bureaus). The Bank of Albania has, thereupon, made the relevant recommendations. 3. COOPERATION WITH OTHER AUTHORITIES 3.1 COOPERATION WITH FOREIGN AUTHORITIES Cooperation with foreign authorities continued during 2011. Based on cooperation agreements with several foreign supervisory authorities, information on certain foreign banks operating in Albania has been prepared. In addition, as a follow-up to the European Central Bank’s initiative for the establishment of colleges of supervisors for all major European crossborder financial institutions in the EU, the Bank of Albania participated in the colleges of supervisors hosted by the Bank of Greece during 2011. The Bank of Albania has also held meetings with the Embassy of the United States of America and has participated in training activities organized by the Spanish Financial intelligence Unit, General Directorate for the Prevention of Money Laundering (GDPML) and Albanian General Prosecutor’s Office. 3.2 COOPERATION WITH OTHER LOCAL AUTHORITIES The Bank of Albania cooperated closely with the GDPML during 2011. This cooperation did not only limit to the quarterly periodic reporting to the GDPML on the implementation of the strategic document for the investigation of financial crime, but it has also included a frequent exchange of correspondence throughout the year between the Bank of Albania and the GDPML. Worth noting here is the increase and efficiency of: • Joint examinations and activities in view of enhancing the supervisory professional capacities and exchange of experience; • Trainings of entities in view of improving the operation of their relevant activities and their compliance with the legal requirements; • Implementation of documents related to the strategy of fight against organized crime, trafficking, terrorism etc. During 2011, the Bank of Albania and the GDPML conducted 10 joint examinations and 3 rounds of joint trainings in Tirana, Vlora, Shkodra, Durrës, etc. On the other hand, there was an efficient cooperation with different institutions monitoring specific activities of the financial market. The Bank of Albania 58 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report has exchanged information and has carried out joint examinations with the Albanian Financial Supervision Authority in insurance companies, in two banks and one non-bank institution. The Bank of Albania has also cooperated with the Albanian Competition Authority, mostly related to discussions and exchange of correspondence on proposals and studies about the cost of products and services provided by banks, which are addressed in the reports of the Competition Authority. Bank of Albania 59 2011 Supervision Annual Report F. CREDIT REGISTRY 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Year 2011, which marks the fourth year of the Credit Registry at the Bank of Albania, was characterized by its enrichment with new institutions and a wider range of products offered from the processing of Credit Registry data. As at the end of 2011, a total of 725,265 loans were reported at the Credit Registry, out of which 349,350 were active loans. Given the entry of new financial institutions reporting their loan portfolio to the Credit Registry, the number of loans reported to the system increased at the end of 2011. Table 37 Number of loans reported to the system Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 Reported loans 262,368 291,137 320,813 349,350 Five other financial institutions will have the possibility to access additional, immediate and reliable information on clients that will help their decisionmaking on a given loan or assess their performance during the duration of the loan. The expansion of the Credit Registry with new institutions over the years is also reflected in its higher use and access by the reporting institutions. Table 38 Number of queries in the Credit Registry from reporting institutions Year 2008 2009 2010 2011 2011 Banks Non-bank institutions and Unions of SLAs 60 Queries in the Credit Registry from reporting institutions 88,875 171,146 198,229 322,570 261,743 60,829 Bank of Albania 2011 Supervision Annual Report The generation of the Borrower’s Report and the review of borrowers’ data are two important processes of the Credit Registry.

To this end, during 2011, the Bank of Albania widened the range of reports generated periodically or occasionally in order to contribute to the credit risk supervision process at optimal levels. 2. INCLUSION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS CONDUCTING FINANCIAL LEASING INTO THE CREDIT REGISTRY During 2011, the Credit Registry staff focused its efforts on checking if financial institutions conducting financial leasing have met the requirements for joining the Credit Registry. As at end-2011, 26 banking and financial institutions reported data on their borrowers to the Credit Registry. The following new institutions conducting financial leasing joined the Credit Registry in 2011: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Raiffeisen Leasing sh.a. Sogelease Albania sh.a. Tirana Leasing sh.a. Credins Leasing sh.a. Landeslease sh.a. The Credit Registry Office has intensively monitored the testing process of data entry from the lending institutions that are soon expected to join the Credit Registry. In addition, it has started to assess the technical and organizational capacities of one non-bank financial institution licensed to conduct lending.
