INTRODUCTIONIn 1995, RBI had set up a working group under
the chairmanship of Shri S. Padmanabhan to review the banking supervision system. The Committee certain recommendations and based on such suggetions a rating system for domestic and foreign banks based on the international CAMELS model combining financial management and systems and control elements was introduced for the inspection cycle commencing from July 1998. CAMELS evaluates banks on the following six parameters
key components of CAMELS ratings
Capital adequacyAsset qualityManagementEarningsLiquiditySensitivity to market
Purpose of CAMELS ratingsThe purpose of CAMELS ratings is to
determine a bank’s overall condition and to identify its strengths and weaknesses:
FinancialOperationalManagerial
Rating Provisions Each element is assigned a numerical rating based on five key
components:
1 Strong performance, sound management, no cause for supervisory concern
2 Fundamentally sound, compliance with regulations, stable, limited supervisory needs
3 Weaknesses in one or more components, unsatisfactory practices, weak performance but limited concern for failure
4 Serious financial and managerial deficiencies and unsound practices. Need close supervision and remedial action
5 Extremely unsafe practices and conditions, deficiencies beyond management control. Failure is highly probable and outside financial assistance needed
SCORINGBank supervisory authorities assign each
bank a score on a scale of 1 (best) to 5 (worst) for each factor.
If a bank has an average score less than 2 it is considered to be a high-quality institution while banks with scores greater than 3 are considered to be less-than-satisfactory establishments.
The system helps the supervisory authority identify banks that are in need of attention.
Capital AdequacyCapital adequacy is measured by the ratio of capital to risk-weighted assets . A sound capital base strengthens confidence of depositors
Capital is rated based on the following considerationsNature and volume of assets in relation to total
capital and adequacy other reservesBalance sheet structure including off balance sheet
items, market and concentration riskNature of business activities and risks to the bankAsset and capital growth experience and prospectsEarnings performance and distribution of dividendsCapital requirements and compliance with
regulatory requirementsAccess to capital markets and sources of capital
ASSET QUALITYOne of the indicators for asset quality is the
ratio of non-performing loans to total loans (GNPA). The gross non-performing loans to gross advances ratio is more indicative of the quality of credit decisions made by bankers. Higher GNPA is indicative of poor credit decision-making.
Asset represents all the assets of the bank, current and fixed, loan portfolio, investments and real estate owned as well as off balance sheet transactions
Rating factorsAsset quality is based on the following considerations:
Volume of problem of all assets Volume of overdue or rescheduled loansAbility of management to administer all the assets of the
bank and to collect problem loansLarge concentrations of loans and insiders loans,
diversification of investmentsLoan portfolio management, written policies, procedures
internal control, Management Information SystemLoan Loss Reserves in relation to problem credits and other
assetsGrowth of loans volume in relation to the bank’s capacity
ManagementManagement includes all key managers
and the Board of Directors
Rating factorsManagement is the most important element for a successful
operation of a bank. Rating is based on the following factors:
Quality of the monitoring and support of the activities by the board and management and their ability to understand and respond to the risks associated with these activities in the present environment and to plan for the future
Development and implementation of written policies, procedures, MIS, risk monitoring system, reporting, safeguarding of documents, contingency plan and compliance with laws and regulations controlled by a compliance officer
Availability of internal and external audit functionConcentration or delegation of authorityCompensations policies, job descriptionsOverall performance of the bank and its risk profile
EarningsAll income from operations, non-
traditional sources, extraordinary itemsIt can be measured as the the return
on asset ratio
Rating factorsEarnings are rated according to the following factors:
Sufficient earnings to cover potential losses, provide adequate capital and pay reasonable dividends
Composition of net income. Level of expenses in relation to operationsReliance on extraordinary items, securities transactions, high risk
activitiesNon traditional or operational sourcesAdequacy of budgeting, forecasting, control MIS of income and
expensesAdequacy of provisionsEarnings exposure to market risks, such as interest rate
variations, foreign exchange fluctuations and price risk
LiquidityCash maintained by the banks and
balances with central bank, to total asset ratio is an indicator of bank's liquidity.
In general, banks with a larger volume of liquid assets are perceived safe, since these assets would allow banks to meet unexpected withdrawals.
Rating factorsLiquidity is rated based on the following factors:
Sources and volume of liquid funds available to meet short term obligations
Volatility of deposits and loan demandInterest rates and maturities of assets and liabilitiesAccess to money market and other sources of fundsDiversification of funding sourcesReliance on inter-bank market for short term fundingManagement ability to plan, control and measure liquidity
process. Contingency plan
Sensitivity to Market RisksSensitivity to market risks is not taken
into consideration by CBI.
Rating factorsMarket risk is based primarily on the
following evaluation factors:
Sensitivity to adverse changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, fixed assetsNature of the operations of the bankTrends in the foreign currencies exposureChanges in the value of the fixed assets of the bankImportance of real estate assets resulting from
loans write off
