At <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong>, market risk management covers the activities in Vienna and the positions at the subsidiaries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.<br />

These subsidiaries have local risk management units with a reporting line to Risk Management in UniCredit <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> AG. Uniform processes,<br />

methods, rules and limit systems ensure consistent Group-wide risk management adjusted to local market conditions.<br />

The “IMOD” risk model has been implemented locally at major units (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, Russia, Turkey), and a daily<br />

risk report is made available to the other units; moreover all units also have technical access to the central market risk platform.<br />

The replacement <strong>of</strong> the previous internal model “NoRISK” by IMOD, a Group application, also requires formal approval <strong>of</strong> the system by the banking<br />

supervisory authorities in the major CEE countries. The approval process for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary will be implemented by 2013;<br />

the other relevant banking subsidiaries will undergo the approval process for the risk model from 2014 onwards.<br />

Analyses <strong>of</strong> position structure and balance sheet structure are available to all banks in the Group via “ALMRisk”, a Group-wide web tool. Liquidity<br />

monitoring is also based on this instrument.<br />

The web application “ERCONIS” records the daily business results <strong>of</strong> treasury activities in CEE. In line with a total-return approach, measurements <strong>of</strong><br />

the performance <strong>of</strong> subsidiaries include income generated by the subsidiaries and the valuation results <strong>of</strong> the banking book.<br />

To avoid risk concentrations in the market risk position, especially in tight market conditions, <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>Austria</strong> has implemented at its banking subsidiaries<br />

Value-at-Risk limits and position limits for exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and equity risk, which are monitored daily. The monitoring <strong>of</strong> income<br />

trends at banking subsidiaries by means <strong>of</strong> stop-loss limits provides an early indication <strong>of</strong> any accumulation <strong>of</strong> position losses.<br />

The timely and continuous analysis <strong>of</strong> market risk and income is the basis for integrated risk-return management <strong>of</strong> treasury units at banking<br />

subsidiaries.<br />
