ExBo members, as prepared by
the committee’s secretary and approved
by its Chairperson. Abstracts of resolutions
reached
and actions to be taken are provided to Management,
SPC and/or ExBo members, as necessary.
Resolutions of the MRC are decided based on a simple majority and in case of a tie vote, the Chairman or the Vice
-Chairman
in
the
case
of
Chairman’s
absence,
has
the
casting
vote.
The
opinion
of
the
minority
is
recorded
in
the
meeting
minutes
whenever a decision
of the MRC is not reached unanimously,
and the BRC is informed accordingly.
Changes to the ToR of
the MRC are reviewed by the
MRC at least
every two (2) years and
revised if necessary, unless
significant
changes in
the composition,
role,
responsibilities, organization
and /
or regulatory
requirements
necessitate
earlier revision
and are approved by
the CEO. The ToR
of MRC are also submitted to the BRC for information
purposes.
The MRC’s
performance
is evaluated annually according
to the provisions
of Bank’s Management Committees
Policy and its
Terms
of
Reference.
For
2022,
the
Committee
performed
its
first
self-evaluation
and
it
was
determined
that
its
overall
performance and all the specific areas of evaluation i.e. the profile and composition, the organization and administration and
the key
tasks and responsibilities, are
strong. Members suggested the
following
areas for improving
MRC’s organization and
administration: i) number of items in the agenda to be reduced to allow for more meaningful discussions and ii)
more sessions
to be scheduled in order to reduce the material
submitted for the meetings.
Group Asset and Liability Committee (G-ALCO)

G-ALCO’s primary mandate is to i) review, approve, formulate,
implement and monitor - as may be
appropriate - the Group’s
a) liquidity
and funding
strategies
and policies,
b) interest
rate
guidelines and
interest
rate
risk policies,
c) Group’s
capital
investments, as well
as FX exposure and hedging strategy,
and d) Group’s business
initiatives and/or investments
that affect
the
Bank’s
market
and
liquidity risk
profile,
ii) approve
at
a first
stage
and
recommend
to the
BRC for
final
approval
the
respective country limits (with special attention given for the
approval / monitoring of the limits for countries where
Eurobank
has a local presence)
and iii) approve or propose –as the case may be - changes to these policies that
conform to the Bank’s
risk appetite
and levels of
exposure as determined
by the BRC &
Management while complying
with the framework established
by regulatory authorities and/or supervising bodies.
G-ALCO convenes
once a
month and/or
whenever
required. Other
executives or
managers of
the Group,
depending on the
subject to be discussed, may be invited to attend as required.
Required
quorum
for
G-ALCO
meetings
to
be
effective
is
six
members.
In
order
to
have
a
quorum
the
presence
of
its
Chairperson
and
a
minimum
of
three
(3)
SPC
members
is
required.
Decisions
on
issues
are
taken
by
majority
and
communicated
to
the
relevant
/
affected
business
areas,
while
meetings
are
minuted
by
the
Committee’s
Secretary
and

CEO, the Board’s Chairman and the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).
G-ALCO’s performance
is evaluated annually
according to the
provisions
of Management Committees’
Policy and
its Terms
of Reference.
According
to G-ALCO’s
self-evaluation
for
2022, it
was determined
that:
i) its
members’
engagement
is well
appropriate, ii)
the
G-ALCO
continues to
function
effectively
in relation
to its
mandate
and responsibilities,
with members
engaging in critical discussions during
meetings on key
risk issues, iii) in light of the
increasing complexity and importance of
issues arising,
the
evolution
of the
regulatory
framework
and emergence
of additional
risk considerations,
G-ALCO
should
improve its organizational and operational efficiency with increasing frequency and/or length of meetings as may be required
to remain as effective.
Central Credit Committees
Central Credit Committee I
The main
objective of
Central Credit Committee
I (CCCI) is
to ensure the
objective credit
underwriting of relevant
exposures
of Greek
corporate
performing
and private
banking clients,
in accordance
to the
Risk Appetite
Framework
and the
Credit
Policy Manual of the Bank and in a way that balances
credit risk and return on equity.
The CCCI is chaired by an independent to Business and Risk Professional, convenes at least once a week and all meetings are
minuted. Decisions are taken
unanimously. If
unanimity is not achieved, the
credit request is escalated
by the Chairperson
to
the
next
(higher)
approval
level
requiring
a
unanimous
decision.
In
case
of
non-unanimity
the
final
decision
lies
with
the
Management Risk Committee (MRC), by majority voting.
The
main
duty
and
responsibility
of
the
CCCI
is
to
assess
and approve
all
credit
requests
for
clients
in the
Greek
related
corporate performing and private banking
portfolio of a total
exposure above €50mio and
unsecured exposure above €35mio.
For
total
exposure
exceeding
€75mio
and
unsecured
exposure
exceeding
€50mio,
additional
approval
by
the
GCRO
is
required, while for total exposure exceeding €150mio and unsecured exposure exceeding €100mio, additional approval by the
CEO is required. Furthermore,
for exposures higher
than 10% (or 20% for selected borrowers
where no single risk exists) of the
Bank’s regulatory
capital the
additional approval
of the
Management Risk
Committee (MRC) is
required. Subsequently,
the
final approval is granted by the
Board Risk Committee (BRC).
Central Credit Committee II
The main objective of the
Central Credit Committee II (CCCII) is the same
as for the CCCI for
lower levels
of exposure.
The CCCII
convenes at
least once a week
and all meetings are
minuted. Decisions are
taken unanimously.
If unanimity is not
achieved, the request is escalated
by the Chairperson to the next
approval level.
The main duty and responsibility of
CCCII is to assess
and approve all credit requests for clients in
the Greek related corporate
performing and private banking portfolio
for total exposure from €20mio
up to €50mio and unsecured exposure from €10mio
up to €35mio and retail exposures for total limits above
