Barclays
 
is
 
a
 
frequent
 
issuer
 
in
 
the

capital
 
markets
 
and
 
regularly
 
meets
 
with
 
investors
 
via
 
formal
 
road-shows
 
and
 
other
 
ad
 
hoc
 
meetings.
Consistent
 
with
 
its
 
usual
 
practice,
 
Barclays
 
expects
 
that
 
from
 
time
 
to
 
time
 
over
 
the
 
coming
 
quarter
 
it
 
will
 
meet
 
with
 
investors

matters
 
relating
 
to
 
the

Non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
Barclays
 
management
 
believes
 
that
 
the
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
included
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
provide
 
valuable
 
information
 
to
 
the
 
readers
 
of
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
as
 
they
 
enable
 
the
 
reader
 
to
 
identify
 
a
 
more
 
consistent
 
basis
 
for
 
comparing
 
the
 
businesses’
 
performance
 
between
 
financial
periods
 
and
 
provide
 
more
 
detail
 
concerning
 
the
 
elements
 
of
 
performance
 
which
 
the
 
managers
 
of
 
these
 
businesses
 
are
 
most
 
directly
 
able
 
to
influence
 
or
 
are
 
relevant
 
for
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
They
 
also
 
reflect
 
an
 
important
 
aspect
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
operating
 
targets
 
are
 
defined
and
 
performance
 
is
 
monitored
 
by
 
Barclays
 
management.
 
However,
 
any
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
are
 
not
 
a
 
substitute
 
for
IFRS
 
measures
 
and
 
readers
 
should
 
consider
 
the
 
IFRS
 
measures
 
as
 
well.

27A
 
of
 
the
 
US
 
Securities
 
Act
 
of
 
1933,
 
as
 
amended,
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
Group.
 
Barclays
 
cautions
 
readers
 
that
 
no
 
forward-
looking
 
statement
 
is
 
a
 
guarantee
 
of
 
future
 
performance
 
and
 
that
 
actual
 
results
 
or
 
other
 
financial
 
condition
 
or
 
performance
 
measures
 
could
 
differ
materially
 
from
 
those
 
contained
 
in
 
the
 
forward-looking
 
statements.
 
These
 
forward-looking
 
statements
 
can
 
be
 
identified
 
by
 
the
 
fact
 
that
 
they
 
do
 
not
relate
 
only
 
to
 
historical
 
or
 
current
 
facts.
 
Forward-looking
 
statements
 
sometimes
 
use
 
words
 
such
 
as
 
‘may’,
 
‘will’,
 
‘seek’,
 
‘continue’,
 
‘aim’,
 
‘anticipate’,
‘target’,
 
‘projected’,
 
‘expect’,
 
‘estimate’,
 
‘intend’,
 
‘plan’,
 
‘goal’,
 
‘believe’,
 
‘achieve’
 
or
 
other
 
words
 
of
 
similar
 
meaning.
 
Forward-looking
 
statements
 
can
be
 
made
 
in
 
writing
 
but
 
also
 
may
 
be
 
made
 
verbally
 
by
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
(including,
 
without
 
limitation,
 
during
 
management
presentations
 
to
 
financial
 
analysts)
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
this
 
document.
 
Examples
 
of
 
forward-looking
 
statements
 
include,
 
among
 
others,
 
statements
 
or
guidance
 
regarding
 
or
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
future
 
financial
 
position,
 
income
 
growth,
 
assets,
 
impairment
 
charges,
 
provisions,
 
business
 
strategy,
capital,
 
leverage
 
and
 
other
 
regulatory
 
ratios,
 
capital
 
distributions
 
(including
 
dividend
 
payout
 
ratios
 
and
 
expected
 
payment
 
strategies),
 
projected
levels
 
of
 
growth
 
in
 
the
 
banking
 
and
 
financial
 
markets,
 
projected
 
costs
 
or
 
savings,
 
any
 
commitments
 
and
 
targets,
 
estimates
 
of
 
capital
 
expenditures,
plans
 
and
 
objectives
 
for
 
future
 
operations,
 
projected
 
employee
 
numbers,
 
IFRS
 
impacts
 
and
 
other
 
statements
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
historical
 
fact.
 
By
 
their
nature,
 
forward-looking
 
statements
 
involve
 
risk
 
and
 
uncertainty
 
because
 
they
 
relate
 
to
 
future
 
events
 
and
 
circumstances.
 
The
 
forward-looking
statements
 
speak
 
only
 
as
 
at
 
the
 
date
 
on
 
which
 
they
 
are
 
made.
 
Forward-looking
 
statements
 
may
 
be
 
affected
 
by:
 
changes
 
in
 
legislation;
 
the
development
 
of
 
standards
 
and
 
interpretations
 
under
 
IFRS,
 
including
 
evolving
 
practices
 
with
 
regard
 
to
 
the
 
interpretation
 
and
 
application
 
of
accounting
 
and
 
regulatory
 
standards;
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
current
 
and
 
future
 
legal
 
proceedings
 
and
 
regulatory
 
investigations;
 
future
 
levels
 
of
 
conduct
provisions;
 
the
 
policies
 
and
 
actions
 
of
 
governmental
 
and
 
regulatory
 
authorities;
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
along
 
with
 
government
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders
 
to
manage
 
and
 
mitigate
 
the
 
impacts
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
effectively;
 
geopolitical
 
risks;
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
competition.
 
In
 
addition,
 
factors
 
including
 
(but
not
 
limited
 
to)
 
the
 
following
 
may
 
have
 
an
 
effect:
 
capital,
 
leverage
 
and
 
other
 
regulatory
 
rules
 
applicable
 
to
 
past,
 
current
 
and
 
future
 
periods;
 
UK,
 
US,
Eurozone
 
and
 
global

of
 
any
 
entity
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
or
 
any
 
securities
 
issued
 
by
 
such
 
entities;
 
direct
 
and
 
indirect
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
coronavirus
 
(COVID-19)
 
pandemic;
 
instability
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
UK’s
 
exit
 
from
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
(EU),
 
the
 
effects
 
of
 
the
 
EU-UK
Trade
 
and
 
Cooperation
 
Agreement
 
and
 
the
 
disruption
 
that
 
may
 
subsequently
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
globally;
 
the

or
 
operations;
 
and
 
the
 
success
 
of

A
 
number
 
of
 
these
 
influences
 
and
 
factors
 
are
 
beyond
 
the
 
Group’s
 
control.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
actual
 
financial
 
position,
 
future
results,
 
capital
 
distributions,

Overview
 
of
 
key
 
developments
 
in
 
2020
The
 
challenges
 
presented
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
reinforced
 
the
 
importance
 
for
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
our
 
purpose
 
in
 
everything
 
we
 
do
 
and,
 
in
particular,
 
embedding
 
it
 
in
 
our
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic.
 
We
 
want
 
to
 
reinforce
 
that
 
clarity
 
and
 
conviction
 
about
 
our
 
purpose
 
and
 
our
 
values,
 
and
stay
 
true
 
to
 
that
 
way
 
of
 
thinking
 
about
 
how
 
we
 
take
 
action
 
at
 
pace.
 
Accordingly,
 
during
 
2020,
 
the
 
Board
 
approved
 
the
 
introduction
 
of
 
a
 
new,
extended
 
narrative
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
purpose
 
and
 
the
 
refreshed
 
descriptions
 
of
 
our
 
values
 
to
 
make
 
sure
 
they
 
are
 
still
 
relevant
 
for
 
the
 
challenges
ahead.
 
You
 
can
 
read
 
more
 
about
 
how
 
the
 
Board
 
oversaw
 
the
 
evolution
 
of
 
our
 
purpose
 
and
 
values
 
on
 
page
 
12.
 
Throughout
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
been
 
keenly
 
focussed
 
on
 
protecting
 
the
 
health
 
and
 
well-being
 
of
 
our
 
colleagues
 
and
supporting
 
our
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders,
 
whilst
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time
 
maintaining
 
the
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
integrity
 
of
 
the
Barclays
 
Group.

2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
In
 
2020
 
we
 
further
 
refreshed
 
the
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
Executive
 
Committee
 
(ExCo)
 
to
 
ensure,
 
as
 
our
 
most
 
senior
 
management
 
forum
 
for
 
the

it
 
continues
 
to
 
have
 
the
 
right
 
balance
 
of
 
skills
 
and
 
experience
 
that
 
we
 
need
 
to
 
deliver
 
our
 
strategic

Through
 
the
 
appointments
made

we
 
have
 
sought
 
to
 
strengthen

of
 
the

bringing
 
fresh
 
perspectives
 
and
 
talents
 
to
 
bear
 
on
important
 
areas
 
of
 
our
 
business.
We
 
have
 
created
 
a

ensure

Membership
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC

BBPLC
 
Boards
 
was
 
consolidated
 
and
 
streamlined
 
in
 
2019,
 
and
 
this
 
has
 
led
 
to
 
significantly
 
improved

reduced

Board
 
composition
In
 
2020,
 
the
 
Board
 
welcomed
 
the
 
addition
 
of
 
two
 
new
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors:
 
 
Mohamed
 
A.
 
El-Erian,
 
who
 
was
 
appointed
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2020;
 
and
 
 
Brian
 
Gilvary,
 
who
 
was
 
appointed
 
on
 
1
 
February
 
2020.
 
Both
 
appointments
 
have
 
brought
 
valuable
 
insight
 
and
 
experience
 
to
 
the
 
Board,
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
markets
 
and
 
geographies
 
in
 
which
 
Barclays
operates.
 
In
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
very
 
pleased
 
to
 
announce
 
that
 
Julia
 
Wilson
 
will
 
join
 
the
 
Board
 
as
 
a
 
Non-Executive
 
Director
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
April
 
2021.
 
She
 
will
 
also
 
join
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee.
 
Julia’s
 
appointment
 
reflects
 
our
 
commitment
 
to
 
strengthening
 
our
 
Board
 
through
 
the
 
addition
of
 
further
 
highly
 
respected
 
individuals
 
with
 
strong
 
financial
 
services
 
expertise.
 
She
 
will
 
bring
 
significant
 
corporate
 
finance,
 
tax
 
and
 
accounting
experience
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
we
 
look
 
forward
 
to
 
welcoming
 
her
 
ahead
 
of
 
our
 
AGM.
As
 
reported
 
in
 
our
 
2019
 
Annual
 
Report,
 
Matthew
 
Lester
 
stepped
 
down
 
from
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2020.
 
Mary
 
Anne
 
Citrino
 
stepped
 
down
from
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
30
 
September
 
2020
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
dedicate
 
more
 
time
 
to
 
her
 
other
 
board
 
commitments.
 
We
 
are
 
grateful
 
to
 
them
 
both
 
for
 
their
service
 
to
 
Barclays.
 
In
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
plans
 
for
 
orderly
 
succession,
 
Sir
 
Ian
 
Cheshire
 
stepped
 
down
 
as
 
a
 
Non-Executive
 
Director
 
and
 
Chair
 
of
 
BBUKPLC
 
on
 
31
December
 
2020
 
and
 
was
 
succeeded
 
by
 
Crawford
 
Gillies
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2021
 
(subject
 
to
 
regulatory
 
approval).
 
Crawford’s
 
track
record
 
and
 
deep
 
knowledge
 
of
 
the
 
Group,
 
including
 
BBUKPLC,
 
position
 
him
 
well
 
for
 
this
 
role.
 
He
 
remains
 
on
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board
 
alongside
 
his
 
role
on
 
the
 
BBUKPLC
 
Board
 
and
 
we
 
consider
 
that
 
the
 
ongoing
 
benefits
 
of
 
having
 
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
one
 
of
 
our
 
principal
 
subsidiaries
 
as
 
a
 
member
 
of
 
the
BPLC
 
Board
 
to
 
be
 
significant.
 
Upon
 
his
 
appointment
 
to
 
the
 
BBUKPLC
 
Board,
 
Crawford
 
ceased
 
to
 
be
 
the
 
SID
 
of
 
BPLC
 
and
 
was
 
succeeded
 
in
that
 
role
 
by
 
Brian
 
Gilvary
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2021.
 
Sir
 
Ian
 
has
 
agreed
 
to
 
remain
 
on
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board
 
until
 
the
 
AGM
 
in
 
May
 
2021
 
to
 
help
ensure
 
a
 
smooth
 
transition.
 
The
 
Board
 
is
 
enormously
 
grateful
 
to
 
Sir
 
Ian
 
for
 
the
 
tremendous
 
work
 
that
 
he
 
has
 
undertaken
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
Group
and
 
BBUKPLC
 
in
 
particular.
 
Crawford
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
chair
 
the
 
Remuneration
 
Committee
 
until
 
1
 
March
 
2021,
 
when
 
he
 
will
 
be
 
succeeded
 
in
 
that
role
 
by
 
Brian
 
Gilvary
 
(subject
 
to
 
regulatory
 
approval).
 
At
 
that
 
time,
 
Brian
 
will
 
have
 
served
 
as
 
a
 
member
 
of
 
the
 
Remuneration
 
Committee
 
for
 
12
months
 
as
 
recommended
 
by
 
the
 
Code.
 
Brian
 
also
 
joined
 
the
 
Risk
 
and
 
Nominations
 
Committees
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2021.

Efforts
 
are
 
ongoing
 
to
 
further
 
complement
 
the
 
current
 
range
 
of
 
skills
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
through
 
the
 
recruitment
 
of
 
an
 
additional
 
Non-Executive
Director
 
with
 
technology
 
experience.
 
The
 
benefits
 
of
 
increased
 
diversity
 
remain
 
at
 
the
 
forefront
 
of
 
this
 
search.
 
We
 
continue
 
to
 
believe
 
that
 
a
board
 
with
 
the
 
right
 
balance
 
of
 
skills,
 
experience
 
and
 
diversity
 
 
of
 
gender,
 
ethnicity,
 
cognitive
 
and
 
personal
 
strengths
 
and
 
social
 
backgrounds
 
-
is
 
critical
 
to
 
the
 
sustainable
 
delivery
 
of
 
value
 
to
 
our
 
shareholders.
 
Tim

for
 
nine

have
 
been
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
for

and,
 
therefore,
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
currently

potential
 
successors
 
for

Principal

The
 
principal
 
Committees
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
and
 
the
 
core
 
responsibilities
 
of
 
each
 
Committee,
 
are
 
described
 
in
 
the
 
‘Board
 
Governance
 
Framework’
table
 
above.
The
 
remit
 
of
 
each
 
Committee
 
is
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
brief
 
in

Measuring
 
our
 
effectiveness
 
We
 
believe
 
that
 
an
 
effective
 
board
 
is
 
one
 
which
 
delivers
 
value
 
for
 
its
 
stakeholders
 
 
our
 
shareholders,
 
clients,
 
customers,
 
communities
 
and
colleagues.
 
We
 
assess
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
our
 
Board,
 
its
 
Committees
 
and
 
Board
 
members
 
each
 
year.
In
 
respect
 
of
 
2020,
 
the
 
Board
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
internally,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Code,
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
Company
 
Secretary,
 
overseen
by
 
the
 
SID.
 
The
 
SID
 
and
 
Group
 
Company
 
Secretary
 
were
 
well
 
placed
 
to
 
do
 
this,
 
having
 
previously
 
conducted
 
the
 
2019
 
review
 
using
 
broadly
similar
 
methodology.
 
As
 
the
 
Code
 
requires
 
an
 
externally
 
facilitated
 
evaluation
 
to
 
be
 
undertaken
 
every
 
three
 
years,
 
in
 
2021
 
our
 
effectiveness
review
 
will
 
be
 
undertaken
 
by
 
an
 
external
 
evaluator.

We
 
believe
 
that
 
effective
 
governance
 
facilitates
 
the
 
delivery
 
of
 
Barclays’
 
purpose
 
and
 
strategy,
 
particularly
 
in
 
challenging
 
times.
 
Throughout
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
our
 
Board
 
has
 
been
 
keenly
 
focussed
 
on
 
protecting
 
the
 
health
 
and
 
well-being
 
of
 
our
 
workforce
 
and
 
supporting
 
our
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders,
 
whilst
 
ensuring
 
that
 
Barclays
 
remains
 
secure
 
and
 
resilient,
 
both
 
financially
 
and
 
operationally.
 
The
challenges
 
created
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
provided
 
the
 
Board
 
with
 
a
 
unique
 
opportunity
 
to
 
consider
 
how
 
to
 
balance
 
decisions
 
in
 
a
 
way
that
 
optimises
 
our
 
purpose
 
and
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
interests
 
of
 
all
 
our
 
stakeholders.
 
As
 
highlighted
 
in
 
our
 
Chairman’s
 
introduction,
 
this
 
requires
 
a
 
Board
 
in
 
which
 
constructive
 
challenge,
 
openness
 
and
 
diversity
 
of
 
background
 
and
opinion
 
are
 
prized,
 
along
 
with
 
a
 
commitment
 
to
 
act
 
fairly
 
and
 
in
 
the
 
interests
 
of
 
all
 
our
 
stakeholders.
 
The
 
Board
 
is
 
well
 
placed
 
to
 
help
 
Barclays
stay
 
true
 
to
 
its
 
purpose.

Annual

Key
 
priorities
Reviewing
 
our
 
Purpose
 
and
 
Values
In
 
2019,
 
the
 
Board
 
considered,
 
together
 
with
 
management,
 
the
 
extent
 
to
 
which
 
our
 
purpose
 
had
 
been
 
fully
 
embedded
 
across
 
the
 
Group.
 
Whilst
concluding
 
that
 
our
 
purpose
 
was
 
integrated
 
into
 
many
 
of
 
our
 
key
 
processes
 
and
 
decision-making
 
forums,
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
of
 
the
 
view
 
that
 
there
was
 
potential
 
for
 
our
 
purpose
 
to
 
be
 
reinvigorated
 
such
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
better
 
connected
 
with
 
our
 
stakeholders
 
and
 
what
 
we
 
do
 
on
 
a
 
day
 
to
 
day
 
basis
 
as
a
 
bank
 
and
 
is
 
deeply
 
embedded
 
in
 
our
 
decision-making.
 
The
 
last
 
12
 
months
 
have
 
been
 
immensely
 
challenging
 
for
 
the
 
firm
 
and
 
our
 
colleagues,
 
but
 
they
 
have
 
also
 
shown
 
Barclays
 
at
 
its
 
best:
 
who
 
we
are,
 
what
 
we
 
stand
 
for,
 
and
 
how
 
quickly
 
we
 
can
 
move
 
to
 
get
 
things
 
done.
We
 
want
 
to
 
reinforce
 
that
 
clarity
 
and
 
conviction
 
about
 
our
 
purpose
 
and
 
our
 
values,
 
and
 
stay
 
true
 
to
 
that
 
way
 
of
 
thinking
 
about
 
how
 
we
 
take
 
action
at
 
pace.
 
Accordingly,
 
during
 
2020,
 
the
 
Board
 
approved
 
the
 
introduction
 
of
 
a
 
new,
 
extended
 
narrative
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
purpose
 
and
 
the
 
refreshed
descriptions
 
of
 
our
 
values
 
to
 
make
 
sure
 
they
 
are
 
still
 
relevant
 
for
 
the
 
challenges
 
ahead.
 
Our
 
reinvigorated
 
purpose
 
to
 
‘deploy
 
finance
 
responsibly
 
to
 
support
 
people
 
and
 
businesses,
 
acting
 
with
 
empathy
 
and
 
integrity,
 
championing
innovation
 
and
 
sustainability,
 
for
 
the
 
common
 
good
 
and
 
the
 
long
 
term’
 
is
 
intended
 
to
 
serve
 
as
 
an
 
expression
 
of
 
purpose
 
which
 
encapsulates
 
our
position
 
as
 
a
 
universal
 
bank
 
providing
 
global
 
financial
 
services
 
and
 
resonates
 
with
 
colleagues
 
and
 
all
 
of
 
our
 
stakeholders.
 
We
 
updated
 
and
 
refreshed
 
the
 
language
 
in
 
the
 
descriptors
 
for
 
each
 
Value
 
to
 
better
 
reflect
 
who
 
we
 
are
 
today,
 
modern
 
societal
 
expectations,
 
and
things
 
we
 
should
 
explicitly
 
prioritise
 
 
such
 
as
 
inclusion
 
and
 
sustainability.
 
Our
 
values
 
remain
 
core
 
to
 
how
 
we
 
individually
 
‘show
 
up’
 
in
 
the
organisation;
 
they
 
are
 
our
 
moral
 
compass
 
and
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
used
 
as
 
a
 
mandatory
 
measure
 
of
 
individual
 
performance.
We
 
believe
 
that
 
positive
 
culture,
 
supported
 
by
 
effective
 
leadership
 
and
 
a
 
consistent
 
‘tone
 
from
 
the
 
top’,
 
is
 
crucial
 
to
 
our
 
success.
 
As
 
such,
culture
 
remains
 
a
 
core
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
reviewed
 
in
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
ways
 
including:
 
 
analysis
 
of
 
colleague
 
survey
 
results,
 
reviewing
 
and
 
discussing
 
colleague
 
sentiment
 
and
 
feedback
 
on
 
areas
 
including
 
colleague
 
wellbeing
 
and
engagement
 
direct
 
engagement
 
with
 
colleagues
 
locally
 
to
 
hear
 
their
 
views
 
through
 
channels
 
such
 
as
 
town
 
hall
 
meetings,
 
talent
 
sessions
 
and
 
office
 
visits
 
review
 
of
 
our
 
people
 
policies,
 
which
 
are
 
designed
 
to
 
provide
 
equal
 
opportunities
 
and
 
create
 
an
 
inclusive
 
culture,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
our
 
values
 
and
 
in
support
 
of
 
our
 
long-term
 
success.
 
The
 
Board
 
reviewed
 
Barclays’
 
method
 
of
 
workforce
 
engagement
 
during
 
2020
 
and
 
concluded
 
that
 
it
 
had
 
been
 
effective,
 
with
 
many
 
direct
engagement
 
mechanisms
 
moving
 
to
 
digital
 
channels.
 
Our
 
workforce
 
policies
 
and
 
practices
 
were
 
also
 
reviewed
 
and
 
the
 
Board
 
agreed
 
they
 
were
consistent
 
with
 
our
 
values
 
and
 
supported
 
the
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
success
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
Feedback
 
from
 
our
 
colleagues
 
indicated
 
that
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
had
 
accentuated
 
many
 
aspects
 
of
 
our
 
culture,
 
manifesting
 
itself
 
in
 
improved
 
execution
 
speeds,
 
higher
 
levels
 
of
 
colleague
engagement
 
and
 
a
 
belief
 
among
 
a
 
majority
 
of
 
colleagues
 
that
 
our
 
culture
 
had
 
improved.
 
The
 
Board
 
has
 
also
 
carefully
 
reviewed
 
and
 
endorsed
how
 
we
 
define
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
we
 
want
 
to
 
get
 
things
 
done
 
at
 
Barclays
 
 
what
 
we
 
will
 
call
 
our
 
mindset:
 
‘Empower.
 
Challenge.
 
Drive.’
Alongside
 
our
 
strategy,
 
and
 
our
 
strong
 
commercial
 
positioning,
 
our
 
purpose,
 
values
 
and
 
mindset
 
will
 
provide
 
the
 
foundations
 
to
 
move
 
to
 
the
 
next
phase
 
of
 
our
 
cultural
 
and
 
commercial
 
journey,
 
supporting
 
us
 
in
 
fulfilling
 
our
 
obligations
 
to
 
our
 
shareholders,
 
colleagues,
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
wider
 
society,
 
in
 
the
 
spirit
 
of
 
the
 
common
 
good.
How
 
the
 
Board
 
thinks
 
about
 
strategy
 
The
 
current
 
COVID-19
 
related
 
challenges
 
are
 
unprecedented
 
in
 
nature
 
and,
 
as
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
discussed
 
at
 
length,
 
the
 
macro-economic
environment
 
brings
 
a
 
significant
 
degree
 
of
 
uncertainty.
 
This
 
has
 
far-reaching
 
impacts
 
across
 
the
 
Group,
 
raising
 
significant
 
matters
 
for
consideration
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
Board’s
 
responsibility
 
for
 
the
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
success
 
of
 
Barclays,
 
generating
 
value
 
for
shareholders
 
and
 
contributing
 
to
 
wider
 
society,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
for
 
the
 
culture
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
more
 
broadly.
 
It
 
has
 
also
 
required
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
focus
 
on
how
 
best
 
to
 
try
 
to
 
protect
 
the
 
health
 
and
 
well-being
 
of
 
colleagues
 
and
 
customers
 
and,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
AGM
 
arrangements,
 
that
of
 
shareholders
 
as
 
well.
 
Updates
 
presented
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
through
 
the
 
pandemic
 
have
 
reported
 
on
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
stakeholder
 
interests
 
including
matters
 
which
 
are
 
key
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
reputation,
 
such
 
as
 
business
 
model
 
impacts,
 
colleague
 
considerations,
 
support
 
for
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
the
 
communities
 
in
 
which
 
Barclays
 
operates,
 
engagement
 
with
 
regulators,
 
and
 
the
 
Group’s
 
support
 
for
 
customers
 
and
 
communities
 
through
 
the
pandemic.
 
You
 
can
 
find
 
further
 
details
 
of
 
this
 
in
 
our
 
Section
 
172
 
statement
 
in
 
the
 
Strategic
 
Report
 
available
 
at
home.barclays/annualreport
.
To
 
clearly
 
establish
 
and
 
implement
 
the
 
Group’s
 
strategy,
 
and
 
be
 
effective,
 
with
 
management,
 
in
 
addressing
 
the
 
challenges
 
arising
 
from
 
the
pandemic,
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
continued
 
to
 
deepen
 
its
 
understanding
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
and
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
opportunities
 
it
 
faces.
 
As
 
such,
 
a
prioritised
 
series
 
of
 
‘deep
 
dives’
 
forms
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
each
 
Board
 
meeting,
 
enabling
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
spend
 
a
 
good
 
proportion
 
of
 
its
 
time
considering
 
longer-term
 
and
 
strategic
 
issues
 
and
 
the
 
Group’s
 
operational
 
resilience,
 
with
 
strategy
 
considered
 
at
 
every
 
Board
 
meeting,
 
rather
than
 
in
 
a
 
set
 
piece
 
event
 
once
 
a
 
year.
 
This
 
has
 
been
 
particularly
 
beneficial
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
dynamic
 
and
 
evolving
 
environment
 
during
 
2020,
and
 
has
 
allowed
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
discuss
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic
 
on
 
the
 
different
 
businesses
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
to
 
provide
 
support
 
and
constructive
 
challenge
 
to
 
management
 
in
 
addressing
 
diverse
 
challenges
 
by
 
business
 
and
 
geography.
 
The
 
approval
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Medium
Term
 
Plan,
 
in
 
which
 
our
 
strategy
 
is
 
embedded,
 
was
 
reviewed
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
at
 
its
 
September,
 
November
 
and
 
December
 
meetings.
Deep
 
dive
 
topics
 
were
 
informed
 
by
 
discussions
 
with
 
our
 
shareholders
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
formal
 
and
 
informal
 
Board
 
discussions.
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
growing
 
pandemic,
 
during
 
2020
 
our
 
deep
 
dives
 
programme
 
was
 
kept
 
under
 
review
 
to
 
give
 
time
 
to
 
the
 
discussion
 
of
 
new
topics
 
flowing
 
directly
 
from
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
Deep
 
dive
 
topics
 
discussed
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
covered
 
a
 
wide
 
range
 
of
 
topics,
 
including
 
our
 
purpose
 
and
 
values,
 
the
 
Group’s
operational
 
mind-set
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
unwinding
 
of
 
crisis
 
measures,
 
and
 
our
 
climate
 
change
 
strategy,
 
alongside
 
updates
from
 
selected
 
individual
 
businesses
 
and
 
from
 
key
 
Group
 
functions
 
including
 
Compliance,
 
Legal,
 
Risk
 
and
 
HR.
 
As
 
in
 
previous
 
years,
 
we
 
gave
 
considerable
 
focus
 
to
 
developments
 
in
 
the
 
regulatory
 
environment,
 
to
 
our
 
key
 
correspondence
 
with
 
regulators
during
 
the
 
year
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
their
 
annual
 
assessments
 
and

particular.
 
The

a

through

Given
 
the
 
dynamic
 
environment
 
brought
 
about
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
Board
 
needed
 
to

“crisis”
 
mode

shift
 
its
 
focus
 
from
long

to
 
addressing
 
the
 
short
 
and
 
medium-term

the
 
pandemic.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Board’s
 
direct
 
oversight
 
of

updates
 
were

Climate
 
change
 
The
 
Board
 
has
 
direct
 
oversight
 
of
 
social
 
and
 
environmental
 
matters,
 
including
 
climate
 
change.
 
The
 
Board
 
recognised
 
that
 
Barclays
 
can,
 
and
should,
 
make
 
a
 
real
 
contribution
 
to
 
tackling
 
climate
 
change,
 
and
 
help
 
to
 
accelerate
 
the
 
transition
 
to
 
a
 
low-carbon
 
economy.
 
In
 
the
 
first
 
quarter
 
of
2020
 
the
 
Board
 
established
 
a
 
Board
 
Climate
 
Committee,
 
to
 
oversee
 
our
 
activities
 
in
 
this
 
critically
 
important
 
area.

pandemic
 
limiting
 
the

Barclays
 
PLC
 
2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
Maintaining
 
robust
 
internal
 
controls
 
throughout
 
the
 
pandemic
 
Dear
 
Fellow
 
Shareholders
2020
 
was
 
a
 
challenging
 
year
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
monitoring
 
the
 
internal
 
and
 
business
 
controls
 
environment
 
alongside
 
reviewing
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
performance
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
The
 
calculation
 
of
 
expected
 
credit
 
loss
 
(ECL)
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9
 
was
 
a
 
major
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Committee
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
as
 
the
 
calculation
of
 
credit
 
impairment
 
charges
 
proved
 
challenging
 
due
 
to
 
ongoing
 
macroeconomic
 
uncertainty
 
and
 
evolving
 
consensus.
 
The
 
ECL
 
models
 
are
based
 
on
 
historical
 
relationships
 
between
 
macroeconomic
 
variables
 
and
 
credit
 
impairment
 
outcomes
 
that
 
pre-dated
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic,
 
in
 
particular
 
the
 
unprecedented
 
level
 
of
 
government
 
support
 
provided
 
to
 
businesses
 
and
 
consumers
 
in
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
in
 
the
 
US.
Given
 
the
 
forward
 
looking
 
nature
 
of
 
IFRS
 
9
 
provisioning,
 
the
 
ECL
 
models
 
showed,
 
as
 
expected,
 
a
 
significant
 
degree
 
of
 
sensitivity
 
to
 
the
 
current
economic
 
uncertainty.
 
Whilst,
 
as
 
noted
 
below,
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
overall
 
ECL
 
provision
 
level
 
is
 
appropriate,
 
it
 
must
 
be
recognised
 
that
 
the
 
profit
 
and
 
loss
 
impact
 
reflects
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
opening
 
and
 
closing
 
stock
 
of
 
provisions
 
after
 
accounting
 
for
 
write-
offs
 
in
 
the
 
period.
 
The
 
lack
 
of
 
significant
 
increases
 
in
 
the
 
latter
 
at
 
present,
 
due
 
to
 
government
 
support
 
measures,
 
magnifies
 
the
 
sensitivity
 
of
 
the
provision
 
charge
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
assumptions.
To
 
date
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
statements
 
has
 
been
 
very
 
limited.
 
However,
 
the
 
Committee
 
expects
 
that
 
to
change
 
over
 
time
 
and
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
keep
 
under
 
review
 
both
 
this
 
and
 
the
 
extent
 
and
 
accuracy
 
of
 
disclosures
 
regarding
 
the
 
Group’s
environmental
 
impact.
In
 
relation
 
to
 
Barclays’
 
internal
 
control
 
environment,
 
the
 
Committee
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Internal
 
Control
 
Environment
 
Programme
 
(BICEP)
which
 
commenced
 
in
 
January
 
2017
 
and
 
was
 
focussed
 
on
 
strengthening
 
the
 
internal
 
control
 
environment
 
across
 
the
 
Group,
 
successfully
completed
 
in
 
March
 
2020.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
control
 
environment
 
is
 
now
 
in
 
a
 
much
 
stronger
 
position,
 
which
 
helped
 
to
 
deal
 
with
 
the
 
operational
challenges
 
which
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
presented.
 
Management
 
has
 
operated
 
within
 
a
 
robust
 
framework
 
for
 
identifying
 
and
 
responding
to
 
control
 
issues
 
with
 
appropriate
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
and
 
other
 
Board
 
Committees.
 
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
pleased
 
to
 
note
 
that,
 
effective
25
 
June
 
2020,
 
the
 
Federal
 
Reserve
 
Board
 
(FRB)
 
announced
 
the
 
termination
 
of
 
its
 
enforcement
 
action
 
initiated
 
against
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
in
May
 
2015
 
with
 
regard
 
to
 
business
 
practices
 
relating
 
to
 
its
 
US
 
FX,
 
Rates,
 
Commodities,
 
Government
 
Bonds
 
and
 
Credit
 
Derivatives
 
activities;
 
the
FRB
 
was
 
satisfied
 
with
 
the
 
remediation
 
actions
 
taken
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
enhance
 
its
 
firm-wide
 
compliance
 
systems
 
and
 
controls
 
relating
 
to
 
those
activities.
 
Termination
 
of
 
the
 
action
 
was
 
contingent
 
upon
 
completion
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
of
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
relevant
 
policies
 
and
 
procedures,
 
which
 
has
now
 
been
 
achieved.
In
 
assessing
 
general
 
control
 
issues
 
for
 
disclosure
 
in
 
this
 
Annual
 
Report,
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
apply
 
similar
 
concepts
 
to
 
those
 
used
 
for
assessing
 
internal
 
financial
 
controls
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
the
 
US
 
Sarbanes-Oxley
 
Act
 
(SOx).
 
The
 
Committee
 
remained
 
of
 
the
 
view
 
that
 
there
 
are
no
 
control
 
issues
 
that
 
are
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
material
 
weakness
 
and
 
which
 
merit
 
specific
 
disclosure.
During
 
2020,
 
I
 
held
 
regular
 
meetings
 
with
 
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
BBUKPLC
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
and
 
with
 
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
US
 
LLC
 
audit
committee.
 
I
 
also
 
attended
 
the
 
meetings
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC
 
audit
 
committee
 
and
 
BBUKPLC
 
audit
 
committee
 
which
 
considered
the
 
main
 
year-end
 
accounting
 
issues,
 
and
 
I
 
will
 
be
 
attending
 
the
 
Barclays
 
US
 
LLC
 
audit
 
committee
 
meeting
 
in
 
March
 
2021.
 
The
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
BBUKPLC
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
attended
 
the
 
meeting
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
at
 
which
 
the
 
control
 
environment
 
of
 
BBUKPLC
 
was
 
considered
 
as
part
 
of
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
year-end
 
evaluation.
 
I
 
also
 
continued
 
to
 
meet
 
frequently
 
with
 
members
 
of
 
senior
 
management,
 
including
 
the
 
Group
Finance
 
Director
 
and
 
Chief
 
Internal
 
Auditor.
 
Barclays
 
Internal
 
Audit
 
(BIA)
 
is
 
a
 
key
 
component
 
in
 
supporting
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
work.
 
I
 
am
 
pleased
 
with
 
the
 
way
 
that
 
the
 
function
 
has
 
performed
throughout
 
the
 
year,
 
particularly
 
in
 
scoping,
 
performing
 
and
 
reporting
 
the
 
outcomes
 
of
 
its
 
work
 
both
 
to
 
management
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
in
 
an
environment
 
where
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
its
 
audit
 
plan,
 
as
 
approved
 
in
 
December
 
2019,
 
has
 
had
 
to
 
change
 
owing
 
to
 
the
 
operational
 
and
 
risk
 
challenges
brought
 
on
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
As
 
the
 
pandemic
 
took
 
hold,
 
I
 
spoke
 
weekly
 
with
 
the
 
Chief
 
Internal
 
Auditor
 
and
 
her
 
key
 
management
team.
 
A
 
BIA
 
Contingency
 
Plan
 
was
 
established
 
and
 
invoked
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
outlining
 
heightened
 
management,
 
reporting
 
and
escalation
 
protocols
 
for
 
BIA,
 
both
 
as
 
a
 
Third
 
Line
 
of
 
Defence
 
and
 
a
 
function
 
within
 
the
 
Group.
I
 
have
 
also
 
continued
 
my
 
regular
 
engagement
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
regulators,
 
both
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US.
 
This
 
has
 
encompassed
 
not
 
only
 
my
 
work
 
as
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
Committee,
 
but
 
also
 
my
 
role
 
as
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Whistleblowing
 
Champion.
 
In
 
that
 
respect,
 
I
 
oversaw
 
the
 
production
 
of
 
the
 
second
of
 
three
 
annual
 
reports
 
which
 
we
 
agreed
 
to
 
submit
 
to
 
the
 
FCA
 
and
 
PRA
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
New
 
York
 
Department
 
of
 
Financial
 
Services
regarding
 
our
 
whistleblowing
 
programme.
Committee
 
effectiveness
The
 
2020
 
Committee
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Code.
 
This
 
internal
 
review
 
involved
 
completion
 
of
 
a
 
tailored
questionnaire
 
by
 
Committee
 
members
 
and
 
standing
 
attendees
 
(which
 
included
 
our
 
external
 
lead
 
audit
 
engagement
 
partner),
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
approach
 
adopted
 
for
 
all
 
Board
 
Committees
 
in
 
2020.
 
The
 
review
 
is
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
Barclays
 
monitors
 
and
 
improves
 
Committee
performance
 
and
 
effectiveness,
 
maximising
 
strengths
 
and
 
highlighting
 
areas
 
for
 
further
 
development.
The
 
results
 
confirm
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
operating
 
effectively.
 
It
 
is
 
considered
 
well-constituted
 
and
 
provides
 
an
 
effective
 
and
 
appropriately
broad
 
level
 
of
 
challenge
 
and
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
areas
 
within
 
its
 
remit.
 
It
 
was
 
suggested
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
may
 
benefit
 
from
 
an
 
additional
 
member
with
 
specialist
 
financial
 
reporting
 
and
 
management
 
expertise,
 
with
 
feedback
 
noting
 
that
 
this
 
would
 
be
 
addressed
 
following
 
the
 
appointment
 
of
Julia
 
Wilson
 
as
 
a
 
new
 
member
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
when
 
she
 
joins
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board
 
in
 
April
 
2021.
 
In
 
particular,
 
the
 
review
 
indicates
 
that
 
the
Committee
 
has
 
continued
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
 
in
 
the

of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
My
 
role
 
as
 
Chair
 
in
 
balancing
 
a
 
demanding
 
agenda
 
efficiently
 
so
 
that
 
time
 
is
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
items
 
for
 
discussion
 
was
recognised.
 
The
 
Committee
 
has
 
a
 
broad
 
remit
 
and
 
has
 
taken
 
on
 
additional
 
responsibilities
 
during
 
recent
 
years,
 
for
 
example
 
the
 
oversight
 
of
 
tax
matters,
 
so
 
continued
 
focus
 
on
 
this
 
area
 
will
 
be
 
beneficial.
 
The
 
review
 
commented
 
that
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
Board,
 
Board
 
Committees
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
is
 
considered
 
effective,
noting
 
in
 
particular
 
that
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
works
 
well.
 
The
 
review
 
highlighted
 
that
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
Committee
 
on
 
issues
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
remit
 
relating
 
to
 
BBUKPLC
 
had
 
been
 
streamlined
 
and
 
effective.
 
Following
 
the
 
consolidation
 
of
the
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
with
 
the
 
BBPLC
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee,
 
coverage
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
matters
 
within
 
concurrent
 
meetings
 
was
considered
 
adequate.
Changes
 
to
 
Committee
 
composition
Having
 
taken
 
on
 
the
 
role
 
of
 
Chair
 
of
 
BBUKPLC
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
December
 
2020,
 
Crawford
 
Gillies
 
left
 
the
 
Committee.
 
I
 
look
 
forward
 
to
 
welcoming
Julia
 
Wilson
 
as
 
a
 
new
 
member
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
when
 
she
 
joins
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board
 
in
 
April
 
2021.
Looking
 
ahead
In
 
2021,
 
the
 
Committee
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
monitor
 
the
 
key
 
IFRS
 
9
 
processes,
 
particularly
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
the
 
uncertain
 
economic
 
environment
 
and
 
related
 
impact
 
upon
 
the
 
Group.
 
There
 
is
 
always
 
a
 
balance
 
to
 
be
 
struck
 
between
 
the
 
sophistication
 
of
models
 
and
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
adapt
 
them
 
to
 
changing
 
circumstances
 
and
 
run
 
them
 
on
 
a
 
timely
 
basis
 
using
 
different
 
assumptions
 
and
 
scenarios.
 
In
implementing
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
the
 
Group
 
developed
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
highly
 
complex
 
and
 
sophisticated
 
models
 
for

challenged
 
in
 
the

which
 
is
 
a
 
situation
 
also
 
impacting
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
peers.
 
Going
 
forward,
 
therefore,
 
management
 
is
looking
 
to
 
simplify
 
the
 
model
 
environment
 
significantly,
 
whilst
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time
 
making
 
it
 
more
 
readily
 
responsive
 
to
 
major
 
changes
 
in
 
the
economic
 
environment.
 
These
 
changes
 
will
 
also
 
provide
 
increased
 
flexibility
 
to
 
perform
 
sensitivity

The
 
Committee
 
is
 
fully
 
supportive
 
of
this
 
effort
 
and
 
will
 
be
 
monitoring
 
this
 
development
 
closely.
The

to

the

of
 
the

In
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
Board’s
 
obligation
under
 
the
 
Code,
 
the
 
Committee
assesses
 
external
 
reporting
 
to
ensure
 
it
 
is
 
fair,
 
balanced
 
and
understandable.
In
 
addition
 
to
 
this
 
Annual
 
Report
and
 
associated
 
year-end
 
reports,
the
 
Committee
 
also
 
reviewed
 
the
Group’s
 
quarterly
 
reports
 
and
 
the
presentations
 
to
 
analysts.
 
The
 
Committee
 
informed
 
these
reviews
 
by:
 
consideration
 
of
 
reports
 
of
 
the
Disclosure
 
Committee
 
which
included
 
views
 
on
 
content,
accuracy
 
and

direct
 
questioning
 
of

relating
 
to

matters
 
and
 
evidencing
 
the
representations
 
provided
 
to
the
 
external
 
auditors.
The
 
Committee
 
considered
 
the
extensive
 
disclosures
 
regarding
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
relating
not
 
just
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
on
 
the
financial
 
statements,
 
but
 
also
 
the
actions
 
taken
 
and
 
support
provided
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
ensure
they
 
met
 
the
 
required
 
standard.
In
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
former,
 
the
Committee
 
considered
 
in
particular
 
the
 
ECL
 
judgements
and
 
disclosures
 
from
 
a
 
IFRS9
perspective
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
guidance
issued
 
by
 
regulators
 
as
 
part
 
of
their
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic,
 
including
 
(among
other
 
things)
 
capital
 
measures
 
in
relation
 
to

transitional

impact
 
of
 
government
support
 
schemes
 
and
 
other
support
 
measures
 
from
 
central
banks
 
and
 
regulators.
Having
 
evaluated
 
all
 
of
 
the
available
 
information,
 
the
assurances
 
by
 
management
 
and
underlying
 
processes
 
used
 
to
prepare
 
the
 
published
 
financial
information,
 
the
 
Committee
concluded
 
and
 
advised
 
the
 
Board
that
 
the
 
2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
and
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
fair,
balanced
 
and
 
understandable.

(refer
 
to
 
the

Statement

and

Barclays
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
assess
whether
 
it
 
is
 
appropriate
 
to
prepare
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
basis
 
and
also,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
Code,
 
Barclays
 
must
 
provide
 
a
statement
 
of
 
its
 
viability.
The
 
Committee
 
considered
 
both
the
 
going

assumption
and
 
the
 
form
 
and
 
content
 
of

The

recommended
 
to
the
 
Board
 
that
 
the
 
financial
statements
 
should
 
be
 
prepared
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
basis
 
and
that
 
there
 
were
 
no
 
material
uncertainties
 
that
 
may
 
cast
significant
 
doubt
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
ability
 
to
 
continue
 
as
 
a
 
going
concern;
 
and
 
noted
 
that
 
capital
ratios
 
remained
 
above
 
minimum
mandatory
 
requirements.
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
agreed
 
that
the
 
appropriate
 
time
 
frame
 
for
 
the
Viability
 
Statement
 
continued
 
to
be
 
three
 
years
 
and
recommended
 
the
 
Viability
Statement
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
for
approval.
Impairment
 
of
 
Financial
Instruments
(refer
 
to
 
Note

to
 
the
 
financial
statements)
ECLs
 
are
 
modelled
 
using
 
a
 
range
of
 
forecast
 
economic
 
scenarios.
They
 
use
 
forward
 
looking
 
models
which
 
require
 
judgements
 
to
 
be
made
 
over
 
modelling
assumptions,
 
including:
-
 
the
 
determination
 
of
macroeconomic
 
scenarios
 
to
 
be
used
-
 
the
 
methodology
 
for
 
weighting
scenarios
-
 
the
 
establishment
 
of
 
criteria
 
to
determine
 
significant
deterioration
 
in
 
credit
 
quality
-
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
management
adjustments
 
to
 
the
 
modelled
output.
The
 
latter
 
has
 
been
 
particularly
relevant
 
in
 
2020
 
as
 
the
 
models
were
 
not
 
designed
 
to
 
take
account
 
of
 
the
 
unprecedented
level
 
of
 
government
 
support
 
for
both
 
businesses
 
and
 
consumers
during
 
the
 
pandemic.
As
 
part
 
of
 
its
 
monitoring,
 
the
Committee
 
considered
 
a
 
number
of
 
reports
 
from
 
management
 
on:
 
the
 
economic
 
impact
 
of
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
uncertain
macroeconomic
 
environment
and

of

the
 
continued
 
development
and

of

over
 
the
 
internal

supporting
 
the
 
ECL
 
calculation
and

the

to
 
the

to

and

deficiencies,
 
including
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
of

support
 
comparisons
 
between
 
actual
Having
 
considered
 
and
scrutinised
 
the
 
reports,
 
the
Committee
 
agreed
 
with
management’s
 
conclusion
 
that
the
 
impairment
 
provision
(including
 
specifically
 
the
£4,838m
 
for
 
credit
 
impairment
charges)
 
was
 
appropriate.
 
In
particular,
 
the
 
Committee
 
agreed
with
 
the
 
judgement
 
exercised
 
by
management
 
in
 
determining
 
post-
model
 
adjustments
 
on
 
the
assumption
 
that
 
government
support
 
is
 
likely
 
largely
 
to
 
defer,
rather
 
than
 
eliminate,
 
the
 
impact
of
 
the
 
current
 
economic
 
stresses.
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
agreed
 
with
management
 
that
 
it
 
was
important
 
to
 
develop
 
the
 
ECL
models
 
so
 
that
 
they
 
are
 
more
responsive
 
to
 
changing
 
economic
scenarios.
In
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
increased
 
inherent
uncertainty
 
of
 
the
 
ECL

Goodwill
 
and
 
Intangible
Impairments
(refer
 
to
 
Note
 
22
 
to
 
the
 
financial
statements)
The
 
valuations
 
of
 
goodwill
 
and
intangible
 
assets
 
are
 
assessed
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
discounted
forecast
 
future
 
earnings,
 
which
 
in
the
 
current
 
economic
circumstances
 
are
 
significantly
reduced.
 
In
 
addition,
 
given
 
the
nature
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
and
 
the
 
significant
 
component
 
of
earnings
 
attributable
 
to
 
net
interest
 
income,
 
such
 
forecasts
are
 
particularly
 
sensitive
 
to
 
the
level
 
of
 
long
 
term
 
interest
 
rates
and
 
the
 
shape
 
of
 
the
 
yield
 
curve.
The
 
Committee
 
considered
 
the
allocation
 
of
 
goodwill
 
and
intangibles
 
to
 
the
 
cash
generating
 
units,
 
ensuring
consistency
 
with
 
the
 
treatment
adopted
 
in
 
prior
 
years.
The
Committee
 
also
 
discussed
 
with
management
 
methodology
 
for
assessing
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
given
 
the
reduction
 
in
 
headroom
 
which
required
 
a
 
more
 
detailed
 
review
than
 
in
 
earlier
 
years.
 
In
 
particular,
the
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
basis
 
for
 
allocating
 
net
 
tangible
equity
 
to
 
the
 
relevant
 
cash
generating
 
units.
 
The
 
Committee
also
 
considered
 
management’s
forecast
 
future
 
earnings
 
(as
shown
 
by
 
the
 
MTP
 
after
 
taking
account
 
of
 
subsequent
 
key
changes
 
in
 
the
 
macro-economic
environment
 
which
 
might
 
be
expected
 
to
 
impact
 
the
impairment
 
assessment)
 
and
 
the
extrapolation
 
of
 
those
 
earnings
out
 
beyond
 
that
 
time.
 
Finally
 
the
Committee
 
considered
 
the
sensitivity
 
analyses
 
prepared
 
by
management,
 
which
 
indicated
what
 
changes
 
to
 
assumptions
would
 
trigger
 
the
 
need
 
for
impairment.
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
satisfied
 
that
the
 
forecasts
 
supported
 
the
recoverability
 
of
 
the
 
goodwill
 
and
intangibles
 
and
 
no
 
impairment
was
 
required.
As
 
expected,
however,
 
the
 
headroom
 
was
significantly
decreased
 
from
 
prior
 
years
 
and
the
 
sensitivity
 
analyses
illustrated
 
that
 
comparatively
small
 
changes
 
in
 
key
assumptions
 
could
 
lead
 
to
impairment.
 
The
 
Committee
therefore
 
carefully
 
reviewed
 
the
disclosures
 
made
 
to
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
key
 
sensitivities
and
 
the
 
potential
 
impacts
 
were
appropriately
 
highlighted

With

carried
out
 
by
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
on
the
 
underlying

and

The
 
Committee
 
noted
 
that,
following

of
 
the
deadline
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
PPI
 
claims,
the
 
significance

has
 
considerably
declined.
 
The
 
Committee
 
agreed
 
with
management
 
that
 
the
 
overall
level
 
of
 
provision
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
various
 
conduct
 
matters
 
was
adequate
 
and
 
appropriate
 
at
£497m
 
as
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
year.
Legal,

and
 
regulatory
provisions
(refer
 
to
 
Notes
 
24
 
and
 
26
 
to
 
the
financial
 
statements)
Barclays
 
is
 
engaged
 
in
 
various
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
matters
 
which
 
may
 
give
 
rise
 
to
provisioning
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
facts.
The
 
level
 
of
 
provisioning
 
is
subject
 
to
 
management
judgement
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
legal
advice
 
and
 
is,
 
therefore,
 
an
 
area
of
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Committee.
The
 
Committee
 
evaluated
 
advice
on
 
the
 
status
 
of
 
current
 
legal,
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
matters.
 
It
 
considered
management’s
 
judgements
 
on
the
 
level
 
of
 
provision
 
to
 
be
 
taken
and
 
accompanying
 
disclosure.
The
 
Committee
 
discussed
provisions
 
and
 
utilisation
 
and,
having
 
reviewed
 
the
 
information
available
 
to
 
determine
 
what
 
was
both
 
probable
 
and
 
could
 
be
reliably
 
estimated,
 
the
 
Committee
agreed
 
that
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
provision
at
 
the
 
year-end
 
was
 
appropriate.
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
considered
that
 
the
 
disclosures
 
made
provided
 
the
 
appropriate
information
 
for
 
investors.

Tax
(refer
 
to
 
Note

to
 
the
 
financial
statements)
Barclays
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
taxation
 
in
a
 
number
 
of
 
jurisdictions
 
globally
and
 
makes
 
judgements
 
with
regard
 
to
 
provisioning
 
for
 
tax
 
at
risk
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
recognition
 
and
measurement
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
assets.
The
 
Committee
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
considering
 
the
 
Group’s
 
tax
strategy
 
and
 
overseeing
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Tax
Code
 
of
 
Conduct.
 
In
 
this
 
regard
the
 
Committee
 
received
 
reports
from
 
the
 
Tax
 
Management
Oversight
 
Committee
 
and,
 
in
particular,
 
considered
 
the
 
upward
revaluation
 
of
 
UK
 
deferred
 
tax
assets
 
due
 
to
 
cancellation
 
of
 
a
scheduled
 
2%

tax
cut
 
which
 
had
 
been
 
due
 
to
 
take
place
 
in
 
April
 
2020
 
and
 
additional
tax
 
considerations
 
arising
 
from
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
appropriateness
 
of
 
provisions
made
 
for
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions.
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
confirmed
that
 
the
 
estimates
 
and
assumptions
 
used
 
in
 
assessing
the
 
recoverability
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
assets
 
were
 
supported
 
by
 
the
MTP.
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
satisfied
 
that
specific
 
strategies
 
were
 
in
 
line
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Tax
 
Code
 
of
Conduct
 
and
 
on

of
 
the

approved
 
the
 
UK
 
Tax
Strategy
 
statement
 
published
 
as
part
 
of
 
the
 
Country-by-Country
Report.
The
 
Committee
 
noted
 
that
 
the
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
covered
 
a
diverse
 
range
 
of
 
issues
 
and,
 
as
 
a
consequence,
 
agreed
 
with
management’s
 
view
 
that
 
there
was
 
not
 
a
 
significant
 
risk
 
of
 
a
material
 
adjustment
 
during
 
the
next
 
year.
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
also
satisfied
 
that
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
recognition
 
was
 
appropriate.

at
 
formal
 
Committee
 
meetings,
 
during
 
private
 
meetings
 
with
 
KPMG
 
and
 
through
 
discussions
with
 
key
 
Group
 
executives.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
matters
 
noted
 
above,
 
the
 
Committee
 
also:
 
approved
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
audit
 
engagement
 
letter
 
and
 
associated
 
fees,
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
discussed
 
and
 
agreed
 
revisions
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
policy
 
on
 
the
Provision
 
of
 
Services
 
by
 
the
 
Group

regularly
 
analysed
 
reports
from

the

and
 
discussed
 
the
 
audit
 
quality
 
inspection
 
report
 
on
 
KPMG
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
FRC’s
 
Audit
 
Quality
 
Review
 
(AQR)
 
team
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
its
review
 
of
 
KPMG’s
 
audit
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
for
 
the
 
period
 
ended
 
31
 
December
 
2018.
As
 
well
 
as
 
receiving
 
the
 
AQR
 
team’s
 
formal
 
report
 
the
 
Committee
 
benefited,
 
as
 
on
 
a
 
previous
 
occasion,
 
from
 
a
 
presentation
 
by
 
the
 
AQR
 
team
which
 
was
 
greatly
 
appreciated.
 
This
 
presentation,
 
which
 
was
 
also
 
attended
 
by
 
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
BBUKPLC
 
Audit
 
Committee,
 
allowed
 
the
Committee
 
to
 
discuss
 
the
 
main
 
findings
 
of
 
the
 
AQR
 
in
 
some
 
detail.
 
As
 
foreshadowed
 
last
 
year,
 
the
 
AQR
 
team
 
had
 
identified
 
certain
 
areas
 
for
improvement
 
in
 
KPMG’s
 
audit
 
work,
 
particularly
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
depth
 
of
 
substantive
 
testing
 
of
 
financial
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
and
 
both
controls
 
and
 
substantive
 
work
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
ECL
 
estimates
 
under
 
IFRS9.
 
Again,
 
as
 
noted
 
last
 
year,
 
KPMG
 
had
 
already
 
increased
 
its
 
coverage
of
 
these
 
areas
 
both
 
in
 
the
 
2019
 
audit
 
and
 
in
 
planning
 
for
 
its
 
2020
 
audit.
 
It
 
became
 
apparent,
 
however,
 
during
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
discussions
 
with
the
 
AQR
 
team
 
and
 
subsequent
 
interaction
 
with
 
KPMG,
 
that
 
the
 
expectations
 
continue
 
to
 
evolve
 
particularly
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
substantive
 
testing
of
 
IFRS
 
ECL
 
models,
 
requiring
 
some
 
element
 
of
 
code
 
review
 
and
 
reperformance
 
of
 
nearly
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
models
 
by
 
KPMG.
 
The
 
Committee
acknowledges
 
that
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
audit
 
work
 
required
 
is
 
a
 
matter
 
of
 
auditor
 
judgement
 
and
 
more
 
work
 
can
 
always
 
be
 
carried
 
out,
 
and
 
the
 
AQR
team’s
 
comments
 
can
 
be
 
helpful
 
in
 
this
 
respect.
 
However,
 
we
 
do
 
have
 
some
 
concern
 
over
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
incremental
 
audit
 
evidence
 
obtained
 
from
these
 
procedures,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
current
 
year
 
when
 
the
 
models
 
themselves
 
are
 
more
 
than
 
usually
 
supportive
 
of
 
the
 
judgement
 
necessarily
exercised
 
by
 
management,
 
rather
 
than
 
determinative
 
of
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
impairment
 
provision
 
required.
 
We
 
are
 
also
 
conscious
 
of
 
the
 
need
 
to
balance
 
the
 
sufficiency
 
of
 
audit
 
evidence
 
needed
 
with
 
the
 
time
 
required,
 
by
 
both
 
auditors
 
and
 
the
 
Group’s
 
own
 
employees,
 
to
 
execute
 
on
 
this
expanded
 
level
 
of
 
work.
 
The
 
Committee
 
encouraged
 
KPMG
 
to
 
continue
 
its
 
dialogue
 
with
 
the
 
AQR
 
team
 
on
 
addressing
 
the
 
feedback
 
and
 
to
amend
 
its
 
approach
 
to
 
the
 
audit
 
work
 
as
 
required,
 
but
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time
 
to
 
seek
 
to
 
arrive
 
at
 
a
 
more
 
general
 
consensus
 
with
 
both
 
the
 
other
 
major
firms
 
and
 
audit
 
regulators
 
on
 
an
 
appropriate
 
approach
 
for
 
the
 
future.
 
KPMG’s
 
performance,
 
independence
 
and
 
objectivity
 
during
 
2020
 
were
 
also
 
formally
 
assessed
 
at
 
the
 
beginning
 
of
 
2021
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
a
questionnaire
 
completed
 
by
 
key
 
stakeholders
 
across
 
the
 
Group,
 
including
 
the
 
chairs
 
of
 
the
 
audit
 
committees
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
main
 
operating
companies
 
(BBUKPLC,
 
Barclays
 
US
 
LLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC).
 
The
 
questionnaire
 
was
 
designed
 
to
 
evaluate
 
KPMG’s
 
audit
 
process
and
 
addressed
 
matters
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
quality
 
of
 
planning
 
and
 
communication,
 
technical
 
knowledge,
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
scrutiny
 
and
 
challenge
 
applied
 
and
KPMG’s
 
understanding
 
of
 
the
 
business,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
key
 
issues
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
In
 
addition,
 
as
 
in
 
the
 
prior
 
year,
 
KPMG
nominated
 
a
 
senior
 
partner
 
of
 
the
 
audit
 
team
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
lead
 
audit
 
engagement
 
partner
 
to
 
have
 
specific
 
responsibility
 
for
 
ensuring
 
audit
quality.
 
The
 
Committee
 
therefore
 
met
 
with
 
the
 
partner
 
concerned,
 
without
 
the
 
lead
 
audit
 
engagement
 
partner
 
present,
 
to
 
receive
 
a
 
report
 
on
 
his
assessment
 
of
 
audit
 
quality
 
bearing
 
in
 
mind
 
particularly
 
the
 
comments
 
received
 
from
 
the
 
AQR
 
team.
Taking
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
result
 
of
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
above,
 
the
 
Committee
 
considered
 
that
 
KPMG
 
maintained
 
its
 
independence
 
and
 
objectivity
 
and
 
that
the
 
audit
 
process
 
was
 
effective.
 
Non-audit
 
services
In
 
order
 
to
 
safeguard
 
the
 
auditor’s
 
independence
 
and
 
objectivity,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
in
 
place
 
a
 
policy
 
setting
 
out
 
the
 
circumstances
 
in
 
which
 
the
auditor
 
may
 
be
 
engaged
 
to
 
provide
 
services
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
covered
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
audit.
 
The
 
Policy
 
applies
 
to
 
all
 
Barclays
 
subsidiaries
 
and
other
 
material
 
entities
 
over
 
which
 
Barclays
 
has
 
significant
 
influence.
 
The
 
core
 
principle
 
of
 
the
 
Policy
 
is
 
that
 
non-audit
 
services
 
(other
 
than
 
those
legally
 
required
 
to
 
be
 
carried
 
out
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
auditor)
 
should
 
be
 
performed
 
by
 
the
 
auditor
 
only
 
in
 
certain
 
controlled
 
circumstances.
 
The
 
Policy
sets
 
out
 
those
 
types
 
of
 
services
 
that
 
are
 
permitted
 
(‘Permitted’
 
services).
 
A
 
summary
 
of
 
the
 
Policy
 
can
 
be
 
found
 
at
home.barclays/who–we-
are/our-governance/auditor-independence
.
The
 
Policy
 
is
 
reviewed
 
on
 
an
 
annual
 
basis
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
fit
 
for
 
purpose
 
and
 
that
 
it
 
reflects
 
applicable
 
rules
 
and
 
guidelines.
 
The
 
Policy
 
is
 
aligned
 
both
 
with
 
the
 
FRC’s
 
requirements
 
and
 
with
 
KPMG’s
 
own
 
internal
 
policy
 
on
 
non-audit
 
services
 
for
 
FTSE
 
350
 
companies
which
 
broadly
 
restricts
 
non-audit
 
work
 
to
 
services
 
that
 
are
 
‘closely
 
related’
 
to
 
the
 
audit.
 
The
 
Committee
 
approved
 
an
 
updated
 
Policy
 
in
 
2020
which
 
reflected
 
the
 
revised
 
FRC
 
Ethical
 
Standard
 
“white
 
list”
 
of
 
permitted
 
non-audit/
 
additional
 
services.
Any
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
Policy
 
are
 
approved
 
at
 
a
 
Group
 
level
 
by
 
the
 
Committee.
 
This
 
is
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
laws
 
applicable
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
FRC
guidance,
 
pursuant
 
to
 
which
 
audit
 
committees
 
of
 
Public
 
Interest
 
Entities
 
(such
 
as
 
Barclays)
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
approve
 
non-audit
 
services
 
provided
by
 
their
 
auditors
 
to
 
such
 
entities;
 
and
 
subsidiary
 
Public
 
Interest
 
Entities
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
 
such
 
as
 
BBUKPLC
 
and
 
BBPLC
 
 
can
 
rely
 
on
 
the
 
approval
 
of
non-audit
 
services
 
by
 
the
 
ultimate
 
parent’s
 
audit
 
committee.
 
Pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
Policy,
 
audit
 
services
 
and
 
the
 
fee
 
cap,
 
are
 
monitored
 
by
 
the
 
relevant
audit
 
committee,
 
as
 
appropriate.
Under
 
the
 
Policy,
 
except
 
for
 
specific
 
categories
 
of
 
‘Permitted’
 
services
 
that
 
require
 
explicit
 
Committee
 
approval,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
pre-
approved
 
all
 
‘Permitted’
 
services
 
for
 
which
 
fees
 
are
 
less
 
than
 
£100,000.
 
However,
 
all
 
proposed
 
work,
 
regardless
 
of
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
fees,
 
must
be
 
sponsored
 
by
 
a
 
senior
 
executive
 
and
 
recorded
 
on
 
a
 
centralised
 
online
 
system,
 
with
 
a
 
detailed
 
explanation
 
of
 
the
 
clear
 
commercial
 
benefit
arising
 
from
 
engaging
 
the
 
auditor
 
over
 
other
 
potential
 
service
 
providers.
 
The
 
lead
 
audit
 
engagement
 
partner
 
must
 
also
 
confirm
 
that
 
the
engagement
 
has
 
been
 
approved
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
auditor’s
 
own
 
internal
 
ethical
 
standards
 
and
 
does
 
not
 
pose
 
any
 
threat
 
to
 
the
 
auditor’s
independence
 
or
 
objectivity.
 
All
 
requests
 
to
 
engage
 
the
 
auditor
 
are
 
assessed
 
by
 
independent
 
management
 
(who
 
are
 
not
 
involved
 
in
 
any
 
work
 
to
which
 
the
 
proposed
 
engagement
 
relates)
 
before
 
work
 
can
 
commence.

to

or
 
exceed
 
the
 
above
 
threshold
 
but
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
less
 
than
 
£250,000
 
must
 
be
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
before

is
 
permitted
 
to

Services
 
where
 
the

No

KPMG
 
were
 
declined
 
by
 
the
 
Committee
 
in
2020
 
(2019:
 
none).
 
On
 
a
 
quarterly
 
basis,
 
the
 
Committee
 
scrutinised
 
details
 
of
 
individually
 
approved
 
and
 
pre-approved
 
services
 
undertaken
 
by
KPMG
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
satisfy
 
itself
 
that
 
they
 
posed
 
no
 
risk
 
to
 
independence,
 
either
 
in
 
isolation
 
or
 
on
 
an
 
aggregated
 
basis.
For
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
the
 
Policy,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
determined
 
that
 
any
 
pre-approved
 
service
 
of
 
a
 
value
 
of
 
under
 
£50,000
 
is
 
to
 
be
 
regarded
 
as
trivial
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
its
 
impact
 
on
 
Barclays’
 
financial
 
statements
 
and
 
has
 
required
 
the
 
Group
 
Financial
 
Controller
 
to
 
specifically
 
review
 
and
 
confirm
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
that
 
any
 
pre-approved
 
service
 
with
 
a
 
value
 
of
 
between
 
£50,000
 
and
 
£100,000
 
may
 
be
 
regarded
 
as
 
such.
 
The
 
Committee
undertook
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
pre-approved
 
services
 
at
 
its
 
meeting
 
in
 
December
 
2020.

fees
 
payable
 
to
 
KPMG
 
for
 
the
 
year
 
ended
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
amounted
 
to
 
£60m
 
(2019:
 
£56m),
 
of
 
which
 
£12m
 
(2019:
 
£11m)
 
was
 
payable
in
 
respect
 
of
 
non-audit
 
services.

Delivering
 
effectiveness
 
and
 
diversity
Balancing
 
decisions
 
in
 
a
 
way
 
that
 
optimises
 
our
 
purpose
 
requires
 
a
 
Board
 
in
 
which
 
constructive
 
challenge,
 
openness
 
and
 
diversity
 
of
background
 
and
 
opinion
 
are
 
prized,
 
along
 
with
 
a
 
commitment
 
to
 
act
 
fairly
 
and
 
in
 
the
 
interests
 
of
 
all
 
stakeholders.
 
Achieving
 
this
 
-
 
through
 
its
focus
 
on
 
the
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
its
 
Committees
 
and
 
the
 
ExCo
 
and
 
ensuring
 
that
 
each
 
has
 
the
 
right
 
balance
 
of
 
skills,
 
experience
 
and
diversity
 
of
 
background
 
and
 
opinion
 
and
 
by
 
creating
 
a
 
pipeline
 
of
 
succession
 
to
 
these
 
and
 
other
 
senior
 
management
 
key
 
roles
 
-
 
is
 
the
 
main
 
role
of
 
the
 
Nominations
 
Committee.
Key
 
to
 
the
 
Board’s
 
effectiveness
 
is
 
how
 
the
 
Board
 
operates
 
in
 
practice
 
 
we
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
simplification
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
our
 
agendas,
papers
 
and
 
presentations.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
our
 
drive
 
for
 
simplification,
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
Committee
 
membership
 
of
 
BPLC
 
and
 
BBPLC
 
was
 
consolidated
and
 
streamlined
 
in
 
2019
 
to
 
increase
 
effectiveness
 
and
 
reduce
 
duplication
 
whilst
 
still
 
enabling
 
the
 
appropriate
 
focus
 
on
 
matters
 
relevant
 
to
 
each
entity.
 
You
 
can
 
read
 
more
 
about
 
this
 
partial
 
consolidation
 
on
 
page
 
18.
 
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
Board
 
and
Committee
 
structure
 
in
 
2020
 
and
 
remains
 
confident
 
that
 
the
 
consolidated
 
structure
 
delivers
 
its
 
intended
 
benefits
 
in
 
our
 
governance
 
processes
while
 
ensuring
 
that
 
the
 
spirit
 
of
 
the
 
ring-fencing
 
legislation
 
is
 
respected
 
in
 
any
 
decision-making
 
affecting
 
BBUKPLC.
 
In
 
discharging
 
its
responsibilities,
 
the
 
Committee
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
feedback
 
from
 
key
 
stakeholders
 
(including
 
our
 
regulators
 
and
 
shareholders)
 
and
 
Board
discussions
 
more
 
widely.
The
 
Committee
 
considered
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and
 
concluded
 
that
 
the
 
Board
 
had
 
performed
 
well
through
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
with
 
the
 
establishment
 
of
 
a
 
COVID-19
 
Crisis
 
Response
 
Committee
 
and
 
its
 
very
 
regular
 
cadence
 
of
 
meetings.
 
As
 
a
practical
 
matter,
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
required
 
to
 
convene
 
remotely
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
government
 
guidance.
 
Informal
 
Board
 
discussions
 
also
took
 
place
 
during
 
this
 
period,
 
the
 
objective
 
of
 
which
 
was
 
to
 
operate
 
as
 
a
 
virtual
 
alternative
 
for
 
the
 
sort
 
of
 
conversations
 
the
 
Board
 
would
generally
 
have
 
informally
 
when
 
meeting
 
together
 
in
 
person.
 
These
 
informal
 
discussions
 
also
 
had
 
the
 
aim
 
of
 
maintaining
 
the
 
Board’s
 
connectivity
and
 
collegiality,
 
and
 
of
 
helping
 
to
 
draw
 
out
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
questions
 
on
 
the
 
Board’s
 
mind
 
during
 
this
 
period
 
for
 
discussion
 
during
 
the
 
Board
meetings.
 
The
 
Committee
 
concluded
 
that
 
collaboration
 
between
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
had
 
helped
 
ensure
 
an
 
effective
 
and
 
robust
response
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic.

that
 
Julia

(currently
 
the

and
 
Senior

Director
 
of

will
 
join

as
 
a
 
Non-Executive
 
Director
 
and
 
a
 
member
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
April

Julia
 
will
be
 
retiring
 
as
 
Senior
 
Independent
 
Director
 
of
 
Legal
 
&
 
General
 
Group
 
PLC
 
in
 
March
 
2021,
 
before
 
taking
 
up
 
her
 
role
 
on
 
the
 
Board.
 
Julia’s
appointment
 
reflects
 
Barclays’
 
commitment
 
to
 
strengthening
 
the
 
Board
 
through
 
the
 
addition
 
of
 
further
 
highly
 
respected
 
individuals
 
with
 
strong
financial
 
services
 
expertise.
As
 
reported
 
in
 
our
 
2019
 
Annual
 
Report,
 
Matthew
 
Lester
 
stepped
 
down
 
from
 
the

on

January
 
2020.
 
Mary
 
Anne
 
Citrino
 
stepped

from
 
the

on
 
30
 
September
 
2020.

Board
 
composition
The
 
appointment
 
of
 
Julia
 
Wilson,
 
effective
 
1
 
April
 
2021,
 
will
 
temporarily
 
increase
 
the
 
size
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
from
 
12
 
to
 
13
 
before
 
it
 
reduces
 
to
 
12
following
 
the
 
resignation
 
of
 
Sir
 
Ian
 
Cheshire
 
at
 
the
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
2021
 
AGM.
 
Whilst
 
we
 
are
 
keen
 
to
 
bring
 
a
 
further
 
Director
 
with
 
technology
experience
 
on
 
board,
 
we
 
have
 
not
 
yet
 
identified
 
a
 
suitable
 
candidate.
 
We
 
intend
 
to
 
carry
 
on
 
our
 
search,
 
with
 
the
 
primary
 
aim
 
of
 
finding
 
a
candidate
 
with
 
sufficient
 
board
 
experience
 
and
 
the
 
relevant
 
skills
 
to
 
make
 
a
 
meaningful
 
contribution
 
to
 
Board
 
deliberations.
 
We
 
strongly
 
believe
that
 
the
 
Board
 
remains
 
effective
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
small
 
enough
 
to
 
operate
 
in
 
an
 
effective,
 
efficient
 
and
 
collaborative
 
manner,
the
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
large
 
enough
 
to
 
have
 
an
 
appropriate
 
mix
 
of
 
skills
 
and
 
diversity
 
and
 
to
 
support
 
succession
 
planning
 
and
 
the
 
additional
 
roles
 
and
responsibilities
 
of
 
some
 
of
 
our
 
Directors
 
on
 
the
 
boards
 
of
 
BBPLC,
 
BBUKPLC,
 
Barclays

and

undertaking
 
a
 
full
 
search
 
against
 
this
 
brief
 
following
 
searches
 
previously
 
undertaken
 
by
 
Egon
 
Zehnder.
Capturing
 
the
 
clear
 
benefits
 
of
 
diversity
 
of
 
background
 
and
 
opinion
 
is
 
at
 
the
 
forefront
 
of
 
that
 
search.
 
Spencer
 
Stuart
 
and
 
Egon
 
Zehnder
 
do
 
not
have
 
any

or
 
any

the
 
Directors
 
other
 
than
 
to
 
assist
 
with
 
searches
 
for
 
executive
 
and
 
non-executive
 
talent.
 
Working
 
alongside
 
Spencer
 
Stuart,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
set
 
rigorous
 
criteria
 
for
 
the
 
role
 
it
 
is
 
seeking
 
to
 
fill,
 
both
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
experience
 
and
personal
 
qualities,
 
and
 
has
 
conducted
 
an
 
extensive
 
search
 
and
 
selection
 
process.
 
The
 
Committee
 
continues
 
to
 
review
 
the
 
search
 
remit
 
and
 
give
further
 
consideration
 
to
 
the
 
desired
 
skills
 
and
 
experience,
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
ensure
 
due
 
consideration
 
is
 
given
 
to
 
strong
 
potential
 
candidates.

The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Director
 
selection
 
and
 
appointment
 
process
 
in
 
2020,
 
which
 
was
 
refreshed
 
in
 
2019,
 
and
 
concluded
that
 
no
 
changes
 
were
 
required
 
to
 
the
 
current
 
process.
Diversity
 
We
 
believe
 
that
 
diversity
 
at
 
Board,
 
ExCo
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
level
 
-
 
of
 
gender,
 
ethnicity,
 
cognitive
 
and
 
personal
 
strengths
 
and
 
social
backgrounds
 
-
 
is
 
an
 
essential
 
element
 
in
 
maintaining
 
a
 
competitive
 
advantage
 
and
 
effective
 
governance,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
mitigating
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
“group
think”.
 
The
 
Board
 
Diversity
 
Policy,
 
which
 
has
 
been
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Board
,
 
confirms
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
will
 
consider
 
candidates
 
on
 
merit
 
against
objective
 
criteria
 
with
 
due
 
regard
 
to
 
the
 
benefits
 
of
 
diversity
 
when
 
identifying
 
suitable
 
candidates
 
for
 
appointment
 
to
 
the
 
Board.
At
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2019
 
we
 
had
 
met
 
our
 
Board
 
gender
 
diversity
 
target
 
of
 
33%.
 
Following
 
changes
 
in
 
Board
 
composition
 
in
 
2020,
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
2020
 
the
 
Board’s
 
gender
 
diversity
 
was
 
25%.
 
With
 
the
 
appointment
 
of
 
Julia
 
Wilson
 
(effective
 
1
 
April
 
2021)
 
and
 
Sir
 
Ian
 
Cheshire
 
stepping
 
down
from
 
the
 
Board
 
at
 
the
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
2021
 
AGM,
 
this
 
will
 
increase
 
to
 
33%,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
both
 
the
 
Board
 
Diversity
 
Policy
 
and
 
the
 
Hampton
Alexander
 
Review
 
target.
 
In
 
2020,
 
the
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
whether
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
gender
 
diversity
 
target
 
was
 
still
 
appropriate,
 
given
that
 
it
 
was
 
set
 
in
 
2018
 
and
 
concluded
 
that
 
it
 
should
 
remain
 
at
 
33%.
 
Group-wide,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
set
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
targets
 
focused
 
on
 
creating
 
more
 
gender
 
diversity
 
in
 
its
 
wider
 
workforce,
 
including
 
its
 
ambition
 
to
achieve
 
28%
 
female
 
Managing
 
Directors
 
and

by
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021.

As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
17%
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
from

and
 
improve
 
opportunities
 
and

on
 
opening
 
up
opportunities
 
to

The

comprises
 
a
 
thorough
 
set
 
of
 
actions,
 
using
 
data
 
to
 
set
 
goals
 
and

success,
 
and
 
will
 
be
 
expanded
 
in
 
2021
 
to
 
include
 
other

Annual

That
 
the
 
Barclays’
 
ongoing
 
structured
 
approach
 
to
 
workforce
 
engagement
 
should
 
include
 
appropriate
 
opportunities
 
for
 
Board
 
members
 
to
engage
 
directly
 
with
 
employees.
 
In
 
2020,
 
progress
 
was
 
planned,
 
and
 
in
 
some
 
respects
 
made,
 
on
 
each
 
of
 
these
 
matters,
 
but
 
disruption
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
demands
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic
 
has
made
 
it
 
difficult
 
to
 
achieve
 
all
 
the
 
progress
 
we
 
would
 
have
 
liked.
 
For
 
example,
 
we
 
experienced
 
increased
 
pressure
 
on
 
the
 
Board’s
 
time
 
and
agendas,
 
which
 
often
 
had
 
to
 
be
 
revised
 
at
 
short
 
notice
 
to
 
deal
 
with
 
urgent
 
pandemic-related
 
matters.
 
The
 
effect
 
of
 
this
 
was
 
that,
 
first,
 
it
 
was
often
 
not
 
possible
 
to
 
achieve
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
debate
 
and
 
depth
 
of
 
discussion
 
that
 
had
 
been
 
planned
 
before
 
the
 
pandemic;
 
secondly,
 
the
 
scope
 
for
accommodating
 
external
 
input
 
in
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
considerable
 
expertise
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
limited
 
and,
 
thirdly,
 
opportunities
 
for
 
Board
 
members
to
 
increase
 
their
 
direct
 
engagement
 
with
 
the
 
workforce
 
were
 
restricted.
 
Notwithstanding
 
this,
 
we
 
continued
 
with
 
searches
 
for
 
suitably
 
qualified
 
and
 
experienced
 
non-executive
 
directors
 
with
 
technology
 
expertise,
although
 
these
 
have
 
not
 
yet
 
yielded
 
suitable
 
candidates.
 
In
 
addition,
 
whilst
 
direct
 
physical
 
engagement
 
with
 
the
 
workforce
 
has
 
been
 
restricted,
Board
 
members
 
did
 
undertake
 
virtual
 
engagement
 
where
 
possible
 
throughout
 
the
 
year,
 
for
 
example
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
virtual
 
“town
 
hall”
 
meeting.
We
 
are
 
committed
 
to
 
building
 
on
 
the
 
progress
 
made
 
this
 
year
 
and,
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
not
 
fully
 
addressed,
 
we
 
will
 
carry
 
these
 
recommendations
forward
 
to
 
2021
 
and
 
will
 
take
 
action
 
to
 
address
 
them
 
with
 
the
 
Board
 
as
 
appropriate.
 
2020
 
Board
 
Effectiveness
 
Review
The
 
2020
 
Board
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
internally,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Code,
 
and
 
was
 
led
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
Company
 
Secretary,
 
overseen
by
 
the
 
SID.
 
The
 
review
 
followed
 
a
 
structured
 
interview
 
process
 
with
 
Board
 
members,
 
senior
 
management
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders,
 
including
 
our
auditors.
 
The
 
full
 
and
 
frank
 
feedback
 
of
 
interviewees
 
provides
 
an
 
important
 
input
 
into
 
the
 
further
 
development
 
of
 
the
 
performance
 
and
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
Board,
 
in
 
particular
 
in
 
identifying
 
areas
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Board
 
could
 
be
 
more
 
effective.
 
This
 
feedback
 
is
 
shared
 
with
 
the
 
Chairman
 
and
 
the
 
other
members
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
the
 
key
 
themes
 
and
 
recommendations
 
that
 
have
 
been
 
identified.
Feedback
 
from
 
this
 
review
 
indicated
 
that
 
the
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
strong,
 
with
 
the
 
latest
 
additions
 
to
 
the
 
Board,
 
Brian
Gilvary,
 
Dawn
 
Fitzpatrick
 
and
 
Mohamed
 
El-Erian
 
each
 
having
 
settled
 
in
 
well,
 
contributing
 
meaningfully
 
to
 
the
 
quality
 
of
 
discussion.
Board
 
members
 
commented
 
particularly
 
favourably
 
on
 
the
 
“tone
 
from
 
the
 
top”
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Chairman
 
and
 
the
 
other
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
the
strength
 
and
 
diversity
 
of
 
views
 
of
 
Board
 
members
 
contributing
 
to
 
a
 
complete
 
absence
 
of
 
“group
 
think”
 
in
 
discussions,
 
the
 
inclusive
 
style
 
of
 
the
Chairman
 
and
 
the
 
healthy
 
relationship
 
developed
 
with
 
management.
 
Challenge
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
was
 
considered
 
to

strong
 
yet
 
constructive
 
and
collegiate.
 
The
 
Board
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
have
 
performed
 
well
 
through
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
with
 
the
 
establishment
 
of
 
a
 
COVID-19
 
Crisis
 
Response
 
Committee
 
and
its
 
very
 
regular
 
cadence
 
of
 
meetings
 
having
 
enabled
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
exercise
 
close
 
and
 
effective
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
bank’s
 
role
 
in
 
supporting
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
colleagues
 
whilst
 
remaining
 
secure
 
and
 
resilient,
 
both
 
operationally
 
and
 
financially,
 
in
 
a
 
rapidly
 
evolving
 
and
 
dynamic

2020
 
Board
 
Effectiveness
 
Review:
 
Recommendations
 
The
 
inevitable
 
challenges
 
of
 
conducting
 
Board
 
meetings
 
virtually
 
and
 
being
 
unable
 
to
 
get
 
together
 
in
 
person
 
made
 
it
 
more
 
challenging
 
for
 
the
recently
 
appointed
 
non-executive
 
directors,
 
in
 
particular,
 
and
 
the
 
Board
 
as
 
a
 
whole,
 
to
 
build
 
and
 
deepen
 
relationships
 
both
 
with
 
each
 
other
 
and
with
 
management
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
they
 
would
 
have
 
liked.
 
This
 
was
 
also
 
perceived
 
to
 
have
 
made
 
it
 
more
 
difficult
 
for
 
those
 
more
 
recently
appointed
 
directors
 
to
 
quickly
 
gain
 
an
 
in-depth
 
understanding
 
of
 
the
 
bank
 
and
 
the
 
key
 
challenges
 
facing
 
it
 
than
 
would
 
have
 
been
 
the
 
case
 
had
travel
 
and
 
physical
 
meetings
 
been
 
possible
 
to
 
a
 
greater
 
extent
 
than
 
they
 
were
 
in
 
the
 
last
 
year.
 
Consideration
 
will
 
be
 
given
 
to
 
how
 
best
 
to
address
 
this
 
both
 
whilst
 
the
 
pandemic-related
 
restrictions
 
continue
 
and
 
once
 
a
 
degree
 
of
 
normalcy
 
has
 
been
 
restored.
 
Whilst
 
good
 
progress
 
has
 
been
 
made
 
in
 
holding
 
more
 
in-depth
 
discussions
 
at
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
strategic
 
matters,
 
significant
 
disruption
 
to
 
the
Board’s
 
agenda
 
and
 
increased
 
pressure
 
on
 
the
 
Board’s
 
time
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic
 
has
 
meant
 
that
 
not
 
all
 
deep
 
dive
 
topics
 
have
 
benefitted
 
from
as
 
much
 
debate
 
and
 
discussion
 
as
 
would
 
have
 
been
 
optimal.
 
This
 
is
 
being
 
addressed
 
in
 
2021
 
by
 
scheduling
 
fewer
 
deep
 
dives
 
and
 
allocating
more
 
time
 
to
 
each
 
of
 
them.
 
 
Once
 
pandemic-related
 
restrictions
 
have
 
been
 
lifted,
 
consideration
 
should
 
be
 
given
 
to
 
providing
 
more
 
opportunities
 
for
 
Board
 
members
 
to
 
visit
parts
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
in
 
person
 
in
 
order
 
both
 
to
 
gain
 
a
 
broader
 
understanding
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
and
 
to
 
help
 
facilitate
 
direct
 
engagement
 
with
 
the
workforce
 
in
 
those
 
locations.
 
 
There
 
would
 
be
 
benefit
 
in
 
working
 
with
 
management
 
to
 
access
 
opportunities
 
to
 
learn
 
from,
 
and
 
to
 
escalate
 
more
 
quickly,
 
the
 
insights
 
gained
from
 
the
 
handling
 
of
 
past
 
issues
 
and
 
the
 
reviews
 
conducted
 
of
 
the
 
root
 
causes,
 
and
 
to
 
embed
 
those
 
learnings
 
into
 
the
 
business.
The
 
review
 
concluded
 
that
 
the
 
Board
 
operated
 
effectively
 
throughout
 
2020,
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
do
 
so.
Review
 
of

The
 
2020
 
Committee
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Code.
 
This
 
internal
 
review
 
involved
 
completion
 
of
 
a
 
tailored
questionnaire
 
by
 
Committee
 
members
 
and
 
senior
 
management,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
approach
 
adopted
 
for
 
all
 
Board
 
Committees
 
in
 
2020.
 
The
 
review
is
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
Barclays
 
monitors
 
and
 
improves
 
Committee
 
performance
 
and
 
effectiveness,
 
maximising
 
strengths
 
and
highlighting
 
areas
 
for
 
further
 
development.
The
 
results
 
confirm
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
operating
 
effectively.
 
This
 
year’s
 
review
 
highlights
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
continues
 
to
 
be
 
well
 
constituted
and
 
that
 
the
 
role
 
and
 
responsibilities
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
are
 
clear
 
and
 
well
 
understood.
 
The
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
Board,
 
Board
Committees
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
is
 
considered
 
effective.
 
This
 
year’s
 
review
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
 
in
 
the
context
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
The
 
review
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
may
 
benefit
 
from
 
a
 
more
 
formalised
 
meeting
 
schedule.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
roles
 
and
responsibilities
 
this
 
may
 
not
 
always
 
be
 
possible,
 
but
 
further
 
consideration
 
will
 
be
 
given
 
to
 
this
 
during
 
the
 
year.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
a
 
request
 
to
 
provide
 
feedback
 
on
 
interaction
 
with
 
subsidiary
 
committees,
 
the
 
review
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
the
 
BBUKPLC
 
Board
 
Nominations
 
Committee
 
had
 
been
 
effective.
 
Following
 
the
 
consolidation
 
of
 
the
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
with
 
the
BBPLC
 
Board
 
Nominations
 
Committee,
 
coverage
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
within
 
concurrent
 
meetings
 
was
 
considered
 
effec
 
tive.
Review
 
of
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
other
 
Committees
In
 
addition
 
to
 
reviewing
 
its
 
own
 
effectiveness,
 
the
 
Committee
 
also
 
reviewed
 
the
 
outcomes
 
of
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
reviews
 
conducted
 
by
 
the
 
Audit,
Remuneration
 
and
 
Risk
 
Committees,
 
which
 
had
 
also
 
been
 
conducted
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
tailored
 
questionnaire.

All
 
Directors
 
in
 
office
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2020
 
were
 
subject
 
to
 
an
 
individual
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
which
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
early
 
2021.
 
The
 
Chairman
considered
 
each
 
Director’s
 
individual
 
contribution
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
any
 
feedback
 
received
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
broader
 
Board
 
and

effectiveness
 
review.
 
The

were
 
conducted
 
by
 
the
 
Chairman
 
and
 
the
 
Chairman’s
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
by
 
the
 
SID.
 
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
 
independence
 
of
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
and,
 
in
 
the
 
cases
 
of
 
Tim
 
Breedon,
 
Mike
 
Ashley
 
and
 
Crawford
 
Gillies,
all
 
of
 
whom
 
have
 
served
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
for
 
more
 
than
 
six
 
years,
 
their
 
independence
 
was
 
subjected
 
to
 
a
 
more
 
rigorous
 
review.
 
Based
 
on
 
these
 
reviews,
 
the
 
Board
 
accepted
 
the
 
view
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
that
 
each
 
Director
 
to
 
be
 
proposed
 
for
 
re-election
 
at
 
the
 
2021
 
AGM
continues
 
to
 
be
 
effective
 
and
 
contributes
 
to
 
Barclays’
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
success.
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Code,
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
Directors
 
of
 
the

other
 
than
 
Sir

Effective
 
risk
 
management
 
in
 
challenging
 
times
Dear
 
Fellow
 
Shareholders
2020
 
was
 
a
 
particularly
 
challenging
 
year
 
for
 
risk
 
management,
 
as
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
introduced
 
new
 
risks
 
to
 
the
 
Group,
 
as
 
well
 
as
increasing
 
the
 
severity
 
and
 
correlation
 
of
 
those
 
risks
 
already
 
being
 
monitored
 
and
 
managed.
 
During
 
the
 
first
 
half
 
of
 
the
 
year,
 
the
 
Committee
focused
 
on
 
the
 
emerging
 
economic,
 
market
 
and
 
operational
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
measures
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
by
 
governments
 
to
 
slow
 
the
 
spread
 
of
 
the
pandemic,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
various
 
extraordinary
 
fiscal
 
and
 
monetary
 
measures
 
taken
 
to
 
mitigate
 
the
 
financial
 
impact
 
on
companies
 
and
 
individuals.
 
Whilst
 
the
 
situation
 
stabilised
 
to
 
some
 
extent
 
in
 
the
 
second
 
half
 
of
 
the
 
year
 
as
 
lockdowns
 
proved
 
reasonably
effective
 
in
 
containing
 
the
 
virus
 
and
 
there
 
were
 
positive
 
developments
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
potential
 
vaccines,
 
the
 
global
 
economic,
 
market
 
and
political
 
situation
 
remains
 
difficult
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
continues
 
to
 
work
 
with
 
management
 
to
 
position
 
the
 
Group
 
conservatively
 
in
 
response
 
to
the
 
heightened
 
risk
 
environment.
Financial
 
risk
The
 
Committee
 
m
 
onitored
 
developments
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
closely,
 
including
 
transmission
 
of
 
the
 
virus
 
and
 
associated
operational
 
and
 
economic
 
impacts.
 
The
 
mandatory
 
lockdown
 
measures
 
imposed
 
by
 
governments
 
globally
 
resulted
 
in
 
sudden
 
and
 
severe
 
GDP
contractions
 
in
 
most
 
major
 
economies.
 
However,
 
government
 
support
 
measures
 
and
 
significant
 
central
 
bank
 
policy
 
easing
 
acted
 
to
 
soften
 
the
negative
 
effects
 
to
 
a
 
degree.
 
The
 
Committee
 
concentrated
 
initially
 
on
 
the
 
capital
 
and
 
liquidity
 
stress
 
on
 
the
 
Group,
 
as
 
precautionary
 
drawing
 
by
 
clients
 
on
 
revolving
 
credit
facilities
 
reduced
 
cash
 
holdings
 
and
 
inflated
 
risk-weighted
 
assets,
 
which
 
were
 
also
 
being
 
pushed
 
higher
 
by
 
general
 
market
 
volatility.
 
As
 
the
stress
 
continued,
 
focus
 
moved
 
to
 
assessing
 
the
 
short
 
and
 
medium
 
term
 
credit
 
risk
 
implications
 
of
 
rising
 
unemployment
 
and
 
exposure
 
to
corporates
 
in
 
certain
 
sectors,
 
including,
 
travel,
 
leisure
 
and
 
consumer
 
discretionary.
 
Credit
 
risk
 
positioning
 
was
 
already
 
conservative
 
before
 
the
pandemic
 
took
 
hold,
 
so
 
the
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
any
 
additional
 
actions
 
taken
 
by
 
management,
 
comparing
 
them
 
with
 
those
 
envisaged
 
under
previous
 
stress
 
test
 
scenarios.
 
The
 
economic
 
shock
 
also
 
triggered
 
a
 
requirement
 
to
 
refresh
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
ILAAP
 
and
 
this
 
exercise
confirmed
 
that
 
the
 
Bank
 
continued
 
to
 
operate
 
within
 
its
 
risk
 
appetite.
The
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
review
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
consumer
 
credit
 
exposure
 
portfolios
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
which
 
government
support
 
schemes
 
and
 
other
 
support
 
measures
 
from
 
central
 
banks
 
and
 
regulators
 
have
 
had
 
on
 
these
 
exposures.
 
Whilst
 
performance
 
has
remained
 
robust,
 
the
 
Committee
 
noted
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
rising
 
delinquencies
 
and
 
further
 
credit
 
impairment
 
as
 
support
 
schemes
 
expire.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
economic
 
and
 
market
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
central
 
banks
 
materially
 
eased
 
monetary
 
policy,
 
including
 
cutting
interest
 
rates
 
to
 
record
 
lows.
 
This
 
supported
 
asset
 
markets
 
but
 
increased
 
margin
 
pressure
 
on
 
banks
 
resulting
 
from
 
very
 
low
 
or
 
negative
 
interest
rates,
 
whilst
 
also
 
presenting
 
operational
 
challenges.
 
The
 
Committee
 
has
 
reviewed
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
low
 
or
 
negative
 
interest
 
rates
 
on
 
the
 
Group
 
on
 
a
number
 
of
 
occasions
 
in
 
recent
 
years
 
and
 
impressed
 
upon
 
management
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
prepared
 
both
 
operationally
 
and
 
financially
 
for
 
such
 
an
eventuality.
 
Policy
 
tools
 
available
 
to
 
central
 
banks
 
to
 
deal
 
with
 
further
 
economic
 
weakness
 
have
 
been
 
limited;
 
and
 
the
 
abundance
 
of
 
liquidity
has
 
influenced
 
risk-pricing
 
in
 
financial
 
markets.
 
These
 
factors
 
have
 
contributed
 
to
 
the
 
potential
 
for
 
extreme
 
market
 
moves
 
to
 
occur.
 
These
 
risks
have
 
been
 
actively
 
managed
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Risk
 
function,
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
maintained
regular
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
overall
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
 
the
Group’s
 
balance
 
sheet
 
and
 
actions
 
taken.
 
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
reviewed
 
geopolitical
 
risks,
 
in
 
particular
 
deteriorating
 
relations
 
between
 
the
 
US
 
and
 
China.
 
These
 
risks
 
present
 
a
 
threat
 
to
global
 
growth
 
recovery
 
efforts.
 
UK
 
risks
 
remained
 
a
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Committee
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
economic
 
uncertainty
 
arising
 
as
 
the
 
UK
 
formally
 
left
 
the
 
EU
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
January
 
2020
and
 
the
 
transition
 
period
 
began.
 
As
 
negotiations
 
regarding
 
the
 
future
 
trading
 
relationship
 
with
 
the
 
EU
 
remained
 
ongoing
 
throughout
 
most
 
of
 
the
year
 
leading
 
up
 
to
 
the
 
eventual
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
free
 
trade
 
agreement
 
just
 
before
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
transition
 
period
 
on
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
Committee
 
focused
 
on
 
the
 
operational
 
resilience
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
the
 
face
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
macro-economic
 
impact
 
of
 
a
 
failure
 
to
 
negotiate
 
such
an
 
agreement.
During
 
the
 
year
 
the
 
Committee
 
monitored
 
developments
 
in
 
Oil
 
&
 
Gas
 
markets,
 
notably
 
the
 
severe
 
stress
 
in
 
Q2
 
2020.
 
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
in
 
detail
 
exposures
 
in
 
the
 
Oil
 
&
 
Gas
 
portfolio
 
and
 
potential
 
losses
 
from
 
a
 
sustained
 
price
 
stress.
 
The
 
Committee
 
continues
 
to
 
manage
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
following
 
the
 
dissolution
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
Reputation
 
Committee
 
in
 
2019.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
focusing
on
 
the
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
core
 
businesses,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
identified
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
key
 
conduct
 
themes
 
requiring
 
active
management.
Notable
 
amongst
 
these
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that,
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
rapid
 
introduction
 
of
 
new
 
products
 
(such
 
as
 
Bounce
 
Back
 
Loans
in
 
the
 
UK)
 
or
 
changes
 
to
 
existing
 
products
 
and
 
practices
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
granting
 
of
 
payment
 
holidays)
 
will
 
be
 
reviewed
 
subsequently
 
and
 
found
 
by
regulators
 
or
 
other
 
stakeholders
 
to
 
be
 
inadequate
 
in
 
some
 
way.
 
The
 
Committee
 
has
 
encouraged
 
management
 
to
 
maintain
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
established
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
controls
 
to
 
minimise
 
this
 
risk,
 
despite
 
the
 
rapidly
 
changing
 
environment.
Finally,
 
the
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
 
significant
 
enhancements
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
made
 
in
 
its
 
approach
 
to
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
Climate
 
change
 
risk.
The
 
climate
 
change
 
stress
 
test,
 
which
 
was
 
first
 
executed
 
in
 
2019,
 
was
 
further
 
developed
 
in
 
2020
 
with
 
enhancements
 
to
 
several
 
climate
 
change
stress
 
approaches.
 
This
 
exercise
 
will
 
support
 
the
 
Group’s
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
forthcoming
 
Bank
 
of
 
England
 
(BoE)
 
industry-wide
 
stress
 
test.
 
Operational
 
risk
Operational
 
risk
 
was
 
heightened
 
in
 
2020
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and,
 
in
 
particular,
 
the
 
Committee
 
considered
 
closely
operational
 
resilience,
 
as
 
the
 
workforce
 
largely
 
switched
 
to
 
remote
 
working.
 
The
 
operation
 
of
 
contact
 
centres
 
was
 
particularly
 
impacted
 
by
mandatory
 
lockdown
 
measures.
 
The
 
Committee
 
focused,
 
in
 
particular,
 
on
 
efforts
 
to
 
restore
 
capacity
 
in
 
call
 
centres
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
support
 
customers
in
 
financial
 
difficulty.
 
During
 
the
 
year,
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
monitor
 
and
 
challenge
 
the
 
progress
 
being
 
made
 
in
 
the
 
identification,
 
assessment
 
and
 
management
of
 
Operational
 
risk.
 
Two
 
complementary
 
risk
 
management
 
tools
 
used
 
by
 
management
 
are
 
the
 
Risk
 
and
 
Control
 
Self
 
Assessments
 
(RCSAs)
 
and
Structured
 
Scenario
 
Assessments
 
(SSAs).
The
 
RCSAs
 
give
 
‘day-to-day’
 
coverage
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
and
 
control
 
environment
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
They
 
are
 
built
 
on
 
a
 
foundation
 
of
 
the
 
actual
 
processes
the
 
Group
 
employs
 
and
 
the
 
risks
 
it
 
faces
 
from
 
its
 
activities.
 
This
 
approach
 
enables
 
management
 
to
 
improve
 
identification
 
and
 
management
 
of
Operational
 
risks
 
going
 
forward
 
and
 
also
 
to
 
review
 
in
 
detail
 
risk
 
events
 
that
 
have
 
occurred
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
identify
 
root
 
causes.
The
 
SSAs
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
evaluate
 
Operational
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
more
 
extreme
 
but
 
plausible
 
situations
 
and
 
so
 
complement
 
the
 
RCSA
 
approach;
 
in
combination
 
they
 
enable
 
the
 
Committee
 
to
 
oversee
 
the
 
risk
 
the
 
Group
 
faces
 
at
 
both
 
ends
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
likelihood
 
spectrum.
 
The
 
SSAs
 
are
 
also
 
an
important
 
input
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Operational
 
risk
 
stress
 
testing
 
and
 
capital
 
frameworks.
 
During
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
the
 
year
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
SSA
 
focus
was
 
on
 
reviewing
 
the
 
specific
 
risk
 
scenario
 
of
 
data
 
privacy
 
and
 
mis-use
 
(a
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
theme).

Risk
 
appetite
 
and
 
risk
 
models
One
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
important
 
roles
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
to
 
recommend
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
an
 
appropriate
 
risk
 
appetite
 
for
 
the
 
Group.
 
This
 
represents
 
the
amount
 
of
 
risk
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
able
 
to
 
take
 
to
 
earn
 
an
 
appropriate
 
return
 
whilst
 
meeting
 
minimum
 
internal
 
and
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
requirements
 
in
 
a
severe
 
but
 
plausible
 
stress
 
environment.
 
The
 
Committee
 
analyses
 
Barclays
 
performance
 
in
 
both
 
its
 
internally-generated
 
stress
 
tests
 
and
 
those
run
 
externally
 
by
 
such
 
bodies
 
as
 
the
 
BoE,
 
the
 
European
 
Banking
 
Authority
 
and
 
the
 
FRB
 
and,
 
following
 
such
 
analysis,
 
will
 
recommend
adjustments
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
risk
 
profile.
For
 
the
 
Group’s
 
internal
 
stress
 
test,
 
the
 
Committee
 
received
 
a
 
detailed
 
briefing
 
on
 
the
 
process
 
being
 
applied
 
and
 
was
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
internally-generated
 
scenario
 
was
 
appropriately
 
calibrated,
 
and
 
stressed
 
particular
 
vulnerabilities
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
further
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
would
 
meet
 
internal
 
and
 
regulatory
 
requirements
 
for
 
capital
 
and
 
liquidity
 
in
 
such
 
a
 
scenario.
The
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
oversee
 
the
 
improvement
 
of
 
model
 
risk
 
management
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
ongoing
 
validation
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
models,
 
with
 
specific
 
progress
 
and
 
methodology
 
enhancements
 
in
 
the
 
model
 
outputs
 
supporting
 
the
 
Group’s
 
stress
 
tests,
 
including
 
the
 
Internal
Capital
 
Adequacy
 
Assessment
 
Process
 
(ICAAP)
 
and
 
Internal
 
Liquidity
 
Adequacy
 
Assessment
 
Process
 
(ILAAP).
 
The
 
Group’s
 
models
 
are
 
the
core
 
foundation
 
upon
 
which
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
its
 
internal
 
assessment
 
processes
 
run.
 
The
 
Committee
 
is
 
pleased
 
to
 
report
 
that
 
progress
 
has
continued
 
during
 
2020
 
to
 
embed
 
the
 
Model
 
risk
 
management
 
framework
 
as
 
evidenced
 
by
 
an
 
increasingly
 
stable
 
model
 
inventory
 
and
 
further
improvements
 
in
 
documentation
 
and
 
control.
 
However,
 
models
 
remain
 
a
 
key
 
risk
 
area
 
for
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
closely
 
monitoring
 
the
development
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
approach
 
whilst
 
noting
 
that
 
the
 
extreme
 
market
 
and
 
economic
 
conditions
 
experienced
 
during
 
2020
 
will
 
have
affected
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
existing
 
models
 
in
 
use.
Risk
 
function
The
 
Committee
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
ensuring
 
the
 
independence
 
and
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Risk
 
function,
 
whose
 
primary
 
role
 
is
 
the
 
oversight
 
and
challenge
 
of
 
risk-taking
 
as
 
the
 
Second
 
Line
 
of
 
Defence.
 
It
 
accomplishes
 
this
 
by
 
establishing
 
the
 
policies,
 
limits,
 
rules
 
and
 
constraints
 
under
which
 
first
 
line
 
activities
 
shall
 
be
 
performed,
 
consistent
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
appetite
 
and
 
through
 
monitoring
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
first
 
line
 
of
defence
 
against
 
these
 
policies,
 
limits
 
and
 
constraints.
 
The
 
Committee’s
 
responsibilities
 
include
 
designing
 
a
 
consistent
 
classification
 
of
 
the
 
risks
faced
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
organise
 
their
 
management
 
and
 
reporting;
 
designing
 
and
 
operating
 
the
 
process
 
of
 
setting
 
risk
 
appetite
 
and
material
 
limits
 
for
 
the
 
Group
 
as
 
a
 
whole
 
and
 
its
 
main
 
entities;
 
setting
 
or
 
approving
 
strategies
 
for
 
approvals
 
of
 
transactions,
 
and
 
indeed
 
approving
significant
 
individual
 
agreements;
 
and
 
establishing
 
key
 
controls
 
requirements
 
to
 
which
 
customer-facing
 
areas
 
of
 
Barclays
 
must
 
adhere
 
in
 
the
conduct
 
of
 
their
 
businesses.
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
the
 
Risk
 
function’s
 
own
 
assessment
 
of
 
its
 
capability
 
in
 
late
 
2020
 
which
 
showed
 
that
 
the
 
function
 
continues
 
to
 
meet
expectations
 
in
 
providing
 
effective
 
and
 
independent
 
oversight
 
with
 
strong
 
stewardship
 
and
 
technical
 
competency.
 
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
oversaw
a
 
number
 
of
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
senior
 
management
 
of
 
the
 
Risk
 
function,
 
including
 
and
 
consequent
 
upon
 
the
 
appointment
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
new
 
Chief
Risk
 
Officer,
 
Taalib
 
Shaah.
 
It
 
was
 
encouraging
 
that
 
these
 
changes
 
were
 
achieved
 
through
 
internal
 
succession,
 
supporting
 
the
 
stability
 
of
 
the
function.
Compliance
 
function
The
 
purpose
 
of
 
the
 
Compliance
 
function
 
is
 
to
 
provide
 
oversight
 
of
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
management
 
practices
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
Barclays’
 
second
 
line
 
of
defence.
 
Compliance
 
participates
 
in
 
the
 
prevention,
 
detection
 
and
 
management
 
of
 
breaches
 
of
 
applicable
 
laws,
 
rules,
 
regulations
 
and
 
relevant
procedures
 
and
 
has
 
a
 
key
 
role
 
in
 
helping
 
to
 
strengthen
 
the
 
culture
 
of
 
Barclays
 
and
 
achieve
 
the
 
right
 
conduct
 
outcomes.
 
The
 
Committee
 
supports
the
 
independence
 
of
 
the
 
Compliance
 
function
 
from
 
the
 
operational
 
functions
 
so
 
that
 
it
 
has
 
sufficient
 
authority,
 
stature,
 
resources
 
and
 
access
 
to
the
 
management
 
body.
The
 
Committee
 
monitored
 
the
 
delivery
 
of
 
the
 
Compliance
 
function’s
 
Annual
 
Plan
 
for
 
2020
 
and
 
approved
 
the
 
Compliance
 
Annual
 
Plan
 
for
 
2021.
Committee
 
effectiveness
The
 
2020
 
Committee
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Code.
 
This
 
internal
 
review
 
involved
 
completion
 
of
 
a
 
tailored
questionnaire
 
by
 
Committee
 
members
 
and
 
senior
 
management,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
approach
 
adopted
 
for
 
all
 
Board
 
Committees
 
in
 
2020.
 
The
 
review
is
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
Barclays
 
monitors
 
and
 
improves
 
Committee
 
performance
 
and
 
effectiveness,
 
maximising
 
strengths
 
and
highlighting
 
areas
 
for
 
further
 
development.
The
 
results
 
of
 
the
 
review
 
were
 
positive
 
and
 
indicated
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
operating
 
effectively;
 
and
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
well
 
constituted
 
and
 
provides
 
an
effective
 
and
 
broad
 
level
 
of
 
challenge
 
and
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
areas
 
within
 
its
 
remit.
 
The
 
Committee
 
was
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
both
 
challenging
 
and
influential,
 
providing
 
strong
 
support
 
to
 
the
 
new
 
Group
 
Chief
 
Risk
 
Officer.
 
The
 
review
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
a
 
broad
 
remit
 
having
 
taken
on
 
oversight
 
of
 
Conduct
 
and
 
Compliance
 
matters
 
in
 
2019
 
following
 
the
 
disbanding
 
of
 
the
 
Reputation
 
Committee
 
and
 
that
 
a
 
continued
 
focus
 
on
these
 
areas
 
was
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
beneficial.
 
The
 
review
 
concluded
 
that
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
Board,
 
Board
 
Committees
 
and
senior
 
management
 
is
 
considered
 
effective.
Following
 
the
 
consolidation
 
of
 
the
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
Committee
 
with
 
the
 
BBPLC
 
risk
 
committee,
 
coverage
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
matters
 
within
 
concurrent
meetings
 
was
 
considered
 
appropriate.
 
In
 
particular,
 
this
 
year’s
 
review
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and
 
that
 
recent
 
appointments
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
had
 
strengthened
 
its
 
depth
 
of
 
experience.
Changes
 
to
 
Committee
 
composition
I
 
am
 
pleased
 
to
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
welcome
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
Dawn
 
Fitzpatrick
 
and
 
Mohamed
 
A.
 
El-Erian
 
during
 
2020
 
and
 
Brian
 
Gilvary
 
at
 
the
beginning
 
of
 
2021,
 
who
 
together
 
will
 
add
 
considerable
 
relevant
 
experience
 
and
 
expertise
 
to
 
the
 
Committee.
 
Looking
 
ahead
In
 
2021,
 
the
 
Committee
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
external
 
environment
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
profile,
 
particularly
 
with
 
regard
 
to
 
the
ongoing
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
consequences
 
of
 
the
 
UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the
 
EU,
 
broader
 
geopolitical
 
developments
 
following
the
 
US
 
presidential
 
election
 
in
 
November
 
2020
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
initiatives
 
to
 
limit
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
climate
 
change.

following
 
the
submission
 
of
 
the
 
CCAR
stress

results.
Early
 
in
 
the
 
year
 
the
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
and
recommended
 
the
 
proposed
 
risk
 
appetite
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
for
approval,
 
and
 
discussed
 
and
 
approved
 
the
 
mandate

for
 
the
 
Group
 
for
 
2020,
 
which
 
included
changes
 
to
 
A-level
 
stress

limits.
 
Subsequent
changes
 
were
 
approved
 
during
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
the
 
year.
The
 
Committee
 
reviewed
 
proposed
 
enhancements
 
to
 
the
Group’s
 
stress
 
testing
 
processes
 
and
 
models
 
such
 
as
taking
 
into
 
account
 
structural
 
projections.
 
The
 
Group
 
was
 
not
 
required
 
to
 
conduct
 
an
 
ACS
 
test
during
 
the
 
period
 
under
 
review,
 
although,
 
later
 
in
 
2020
 
in
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
consideration
 
of
 
the
 
MTP
 
and
 
risk
appetite
 
for
 
2021,
 
the
 
Committee
 
considered
 
and
approved
 
the
 
stress
 
scenarios
 
for
 
an
 
Internal
 
Stress
 
Test,
a
 
Reverse

and
 
a

test.
 
The
 
Committee
 
received
 
updates
 
on
 
the
 
positive
qualitative
 
and
 
quantitative
 
results
 
of
 
the
 
2020
 
CCAR
submission
 
to
 
the
 
FRB,
 
which
 
for
 
the
 
first
 
time
 
had
 
been
run
 
during
 
a
 
period
 
of
 
stress,
 
demonstrating
 
significant
progress
 
on
 
remediation
 
of
 
certain
 
areas
 
following
regulatory
 
feedback
 
from
 
the
 
FRB.
 
Subsequently,
 
the
FRB
 
required
 
US
 
banks,
 
including
 
Barclays
 
US
 
LLC,
 
to
resubmit
 
capital
 
plans
 
using
 
new
 
supervisory
 
and
 
internal
baseline
 
stress
 
scenarios,
 
which
 
were
 
reviewed
 
by
 
the
Committee.
In
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
strategic
 
planning
process,
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
periodically
throughout
 
the

and/or
 
approve
 
the

approved
 
the
 
Group’s
2020
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
the
 
Group’s
 
2020
 
ILAAP.
 
During
 
the
course
 
of
 
the
 
year
 
the
 
Committee
 
noted
 
regulatory
feedback
 
on
 
the
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
ILAAP,
 
reviewed
 
updates
 
to
the
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
ILAAP
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-

pandemic,
 
overseeing
 
a
 
continued
 
improvement
 
in
processes
 
and
 
a
 
refresh
 
of
 
both
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
ILAAP
 
in
 
the
fourth
 
quarter.
The
 
Committee
 
examined
 
and
 
supported
 
the
 
forecast
capital
 
and
 
funding
 
trajectory
 
and
 
the
 
actions
 
identified
by
 
management
 
to
 
manage
 
the
 
Group’s
 
capital
 
position,
taking
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic,
 
uncertainties
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
post-
Brexit
 
transition
 
period
 
and
 
other
 
macro-economic
factors.
 
Following
 
the
 
outbreak
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
Committee
 
reviewed
 
and
 
scrutinised
 
the
 
Group
 
COVID-
19
 
stress
 
scenarios,
 
reflecting
 
the
 
adoption
 
of
 
more
prudent
 
assumptions
 
given
 
the
 
Company’s
 
assessment
of
 
the
 
economic
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic.
 
The
 
extent
 
of
the
 
economic
 
shock
 
triggered
 
a
 
requirement
 
to
 
re-run
 
key
aspects
 
of
 
the
 
ICAAP
 
and
 
ILAAP.
 
The
 
Committee
 
noted
amendments
 
to
 
the
 
individual
 
allocation
 
of
 
risk
 
appetite
by
 
business
 
and
 
risk
 
type
 
in

and
acknowledged
 
that
 
at
 
all
 
times
 
the
 
Company
 
had
remained
 
within
 
its
 
overall
 
Risk

The

also
 
received
 
and

as
 
the

of
 
the

refresh
 
of
 
the

which
 
was
 
supported

reviewed
 
reports
 
from
 
management
prepared
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
macro-economic
environment,
 
which
 
showed
 
that
 
management
 
had
created
 
various
 
“watchlist”
 
categories
 
based
 
on
 
particular

and
 
the

reviewed
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the

as
 
against
 
its
 
RCSAs,
 
noting
 
that
 
the

driven
 
by
 
the

Private
 
shareholders
During
 
2020,
 
we
 
continued
 
to
 
communicate
 
with
 
our
 
private
 
shareholders
 
through
 
shareholder
 
mailings
 
and
 
through
 
the
 
information
 
available
 
on
our
 
website
 
and
 
through
 
our
 
AGM.
 
Although
 
shareholders
 
were
 
unable
 
to
 
attend
 
in
 
person
 
due
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
shareholders
 
were
able
 
to
 
submit
 
questions
 
ahead
 
of
 
the
 
AGM
 
and
 
all
 
questions
 
were
 
responded
 
to
 
individually
 
and
 
answers
 
to
 
frequently
 
asked
 
questions
 
were
published
 
on
 
our
 
website.
 
Shareholders
 
can
 
also
 
choose
 
to
 
sign
 
up
 
to
 
Shareview
 
so
 
that
 
they
 
receive
 
information
 
about
 
Barclays

and
 
their

directly
 
by
 
email.
 
We
 
continue

their

The
 
2020
 
AGM
The
 
Board
 
was
 
disappointed
 
that
 
the
 
2020
 
AGM
 
was
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and
 
shareholders
 
were
 
unable
 
to
 
attend
 
in
 
person.
The
 
Board
 
and
 
the
 
senior
 
executive
 
team
 
consider
 
our
 
AGM
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
key
 
opportunity
 
for
 
shareholder
 
engagement,
 
particularly
 
with
 
our
 
private
shareholders
 
and
 
for
 
shareholders
 
to
 
ask
 
questions
 
of
 
the
 
Board.
 
A
 
number
 
of
 
Directors,
 
including
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman,
 
are
 
normally
 
available
for
 
informal
 
discussion
 
before
 
or
 
after
 
an
 
AGM.
 
Given
 
that
 
shareholders
 
were
 
unable
 
to
 
attend
 
in
 
person,
 
they
 
were
 
strongly
 
encouraged
 
to
submit
 
questions
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
advance
 
of
 
the
 
meeting.
 
All
 
questions
 
received
 
were
 
answered
 
individually
 
and
 
answers
 
to
 
frequently
 
asked
questions
 
were
 
published
 
on
 
our
 
website.

Barclays

2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
Voting
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
resolutions
 
proposed
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
at
 
the
 
2020
 
AGM
 
was
 
conducted
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
a
 
poll,
 
thereby
 
giving
 
weight
 
to
 
the
number
 
of
 
shares
 
held
 
by
 
shareholders
 
rather
 
than
 
simply
 
attributing
 
a
 
notional
 
one
 
vote
 
to
 
each
 
shareholder
 
voting.
 
With
 
the
 
exception
 
of
 
the
shareholder
 
requisitioned
 
Resolution
 
30,
 
all
 
resolutions
 
were
 
passed
 
with
 
votes
 
‘For’
 
ranging
 
from
 
90.60%
 
to
 
99.93%
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
votes
 
cast.
 
A
 
climate
 
change
 
resolution
 
(Resolution
 
30)
 
was
 
requisitioned
 
by
 
a
 
group
 
of
 
shareholders
 
co-ordinated
 
by
 
ShareAction.
 
The
 
resolution
 
was
 
not
supported
 
by
 
the
 
Board,
 
which
 
proposed
 
its
 
own
 
climate
 
change
 
resolution
 
(Resolution
 
29)
 
and
 
recommended
 
that
 
shareholders
 
vote
 
in
 
favour
of
 
Resolution
 
29
 
and
 
not
 
Resolution
 
30.
 
After
 
dialogue,
 
ShareAction
 
and
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
co-filers
 
of
 
Resolution
 
30
 
recommended
 
that
 
shareholders
vote
 
in
 
favour
 
of
 
both
 
Resolution
 
29
 
and
 
Resolution
 
30.
 
Resolution
 
29
 
(the
 
resolution
 
recommended
 
by
 
the
 
Board)
 
was
 
duly
 
passed
 
with
overwhelming
 
shareholder
 
support
 
(with
 
99.93%
 
of
 
votes
 
cast,
 
representing
 
68.8%
 
of
 
the
 
register,
 
being
 
in
 
favour
 
of
 
that
 
resolution).
 
Resolution
30,
 
which
 
was
 
not
 
supported
 
by
 
the
 
Board,
 
was
 
not
 
passed,
 
and
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
shareholder
 
support
 
for
 
it
 
fell
 
well
 
short
 
of
 
the
 
75%
 
majority
 
required
for
 
it
 
to
 
pass.
 
23.95%
 
of
 
the
 
votes
 
cast
 
were
 
cast
 
"for"
 
Resolution
 
30,
 
representing
 
14.35%
 
of
 
the
 
register.
Based
 
on
 
its
 
extensive
 
engagement
 
with
 
shareholders
 
prior
 
to
 
the
 
AGM,
 
which
 
involved
 
discussions
 
with
 
shareholders
 
holding
 
a
 
very
 
significant
percentage
 
of
 
Barclays’
 
share
 
capital,
 
Barclays
 
understands
 
from
 
those
 
shareholders
 
spoken
 
to
 
who
 
voted
 
in
 
favour
 
of
 
Resolution
 
30
 
why
 
they
did
 
so.
 
Those
 
shareholders
 
represent
 
a
 
very
 
large
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
votes
 
cast
 
"For"
 
Resolution
 
30
 
and
 
they
 
explained
 
to
 
Barclays,
 
either
 
in
writing
 
or
 
orally,
 
in
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
that
 
engagement
 
their
 
reasons
 
for
 
supporting
 
Resolution
 
30.
 
Barclays
 
has
 
thus
 
gained
 
a
 
clear
 
understanding
 
of
the
 
reasons
 
behind
 
the
 
voting
 
outcome
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
Resolution
 
30.
Following
 
the
 
2020
 
AGM,
 
to
 
begin
 
the
 
process
 
of
 
embedding
 
into
 
the
 
business
 
the
 
changes
 
required
 
by
 
Resolution
 
29,
 
the
 
Board
 
approved
 
the
creation
 
of
 
a
 
new
 
ExCo
 
role
 
focussed
 
on
 
driving
 
the
 
execution
 
and
 
evolution
 
of
 
Barclays’
 
climate
 
strategy.
On
 
30
 
November
 
2020,
 
Barclays
 
published
 
an
 
update
 
on
 
its
 
climate
 
strategy,
 
detailing
 
the
 
methodology
 
it
 
will
 
follow,
 
the
 
metrics
 
for
 
measuring
its
 
progress
 
and
 
the
 
targets
 
against
 
which
 
it
 
will
 
report,
 
all
 
of
 
which
 
were
 
developed
 
with
 
the
 
help
 
of
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
stakeholders.

Looking
 
ahead
 
to
 
the
 
2021
 
AGM,
 
the
 
Board
 
currently
 
intends
 
to
 
hold
 
the
 
AGM
 
on
 
5
 
May
 
2021
 
at

Guidance
 
on
 
whether

by
 
shareholders
 
will
 
be
 
possible
 
will
 
be
 
determined
 
nearer
 
the
 
time
 
of
 
the
 
AGM.
 
We
 
will
 
keep
 
the
 
considerable
 
benefits
 
of
shareholder
 
engagement
 
in
 
the
 
AGM
 
at
 
the
 
forefront
 
of
 
our
 
planning
 
for
 
the
 
2021
 
AGM.
 
Further
 
details
 
will
 
be
 
provided
 
in
 
the
 
Notice
 
of
 
AGM.
In
 
the
 
future,
 
and
 
when
 
circumstances
 
permit,
 
the
 
Board
 
expects
 
to
 
alternate
 
AGM
 
venues
 
between
 
London
 
and
 
a
 
venue
 
other
 
than
 
London
where
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
a
 
significant
 
business
 
or
 
customer
 
presence.
Stakeholder
 
engagement
The
 
Board
 
continues
 
to
 
seek
 
to
 
understand
 
all
 
stakeholders’
 
views,
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
our
 
behaviour
 
and
 
business
 
on
 
customers
 
and
 
clients,
colleagues,
 
suppliers,
 
communities
 
and
 
society
 
more
 
broadly.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
Board
 
monitors
 
key
 
indicators
 
across
 
areas
 
such
 
as
 
culture,
citizenship,
 
conduct,
 
and
 
customer
 
and
 
client
 
satisfaction
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
 
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
engaged
 
extensively
 
with
 
shareholders
 
and
 
other
 
stakeholders
 
(including
 
proxy
 
advisory
 
agencies
 
and
 
investor
 
associations)
 
on
 
key
topics
 
including
 
our
 
commitment
 
to
 
tackle
 
climate
 
change
 
and
 
our
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
We
 
will
 
publish
 
the
 
Barclays
 
ESG
 
Report
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time

this
 
Report,
 
which
 
will
 
be
 
made
 
available
 
on
 
our
 
website
 
at
home.barclays/annualreport.
Throughout
 
2020,
 
we
 
have
 
engaged
 
with
 
our
 
stakeholders
 
through
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
means
 
including
 
surveys,
 
participation
 
in
 
forums
 
and
 
global
 
and
regional
 
industry
 
initiatives.
 
As
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
COVID-19,
 
many
 
of
 
our
 
events
 
this
 
year
 
have
 
been
 
web
 
based,
 
although
 
where
 
possible
 
we
 
have
supported
 
key
 
workers
 
with
 
site
 
visits.
 
This
 
will
 
continue
 
in
 
2021,
 
subject
 
again
 
to
 
the
 
constraints
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
pandemic.
For
 
further
 
detail
 
about
 
how
 
we
 
engaged
 
with
 
our
 
customers
 
and
 
clients,
 
colleagues,
 
society
 
and
 
investors
 
in
 
2020,

the

has
 
the

this
 
ensures

It
 
is
 
the
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman,
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
Board
 
agendas
 
are
 
focused
 
on
 
key
 
strategy,
 
risk,
 
performance
 
and
 
other
 
value

issues,
 
and
 
that
 
members
 
of

receive
 
timely
 
and
 
high-quality
 
information
 
to
 
enable
 
them
 
to
 
make
 
sound

and

the

Working
 
in
 
collaboration
 
with
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman,
 
the
 
Group
 
Company
 
Secretary
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
ensuring
 
good
 
governance
 
and
 
information
 
flow,
 
to
 
ensure
 
an
 
effective
 
Board.
Throughout
 
the
 
year,
 
both
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
and
 
senior
 
executives
 
kept
 
the
 
Board
 
informed
 
of
 
key
 
business
 
developments
 
through
 
regular
updates.
 
These
 
are
 
in
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
presentations
 
that
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
Board
 
Committees
 
receive
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
their
 
formal
 
meetings.
 
Directors
 
are
able
 
to
 
seek
 
independent
 
and
 
professional
 
advice
 
at
 
Barclays’
 
expense,
 
if
 
required,
 
to
 
enable
 
them
 
to
 
fulfil
 
their
 
obligations
 
as
 
members
 
of
 
the
Board.
Attendance
Directors
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
attend
 
every
 
Board
 
meeting.
 
In
 
2020,
 
attendance
 
was
 
very
 
strong
 
both
 
at
 
scheduled
 
and
 
additional
 
meetings
(including
 
those
 
called
 
at
 
short
 
notice),
 
as
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
table
 
below.
 
The
 
Group
 
Chairman
 
met
 
privately
 
with
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
on
 
at
least
 
three
 
occasions.
 
If,
 
owing
 
to
 
exceptional
 
circumstances,
 
a
 
Director
 
was
 
not
 
able
 
to
 
attend
 
a
 
Board
 
meeting,
 
he
 
or
 
she
 
ensured
 
that
 
his
 
or
her
 
views
 
were
 
made
 
known
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman
 
in
 
advance
 
of
 
the
 
meeting.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
SID
 
met
 
the
 
other
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
individually,
 
without
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman,
 
to
 
appraise
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman’s
 
performance,
 
the
 
details
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
included
 
on
 
page
 
28
.
Due
 
to
the
 
circumstances
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
Board
 
met
 
an
 
additional
 
six
 
times
 
during
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
the
 
year.
 
The
 
high
 
level
 
of
 
attendance
 
at
 
these
additional
 
meetings,
 
many
 
of
 
which
 
were
 
scheduled
 
at
 
short
 
notice,
 
is
 
a
 
testament
 
to
 
the
 
commitment
 
of
 
each
 
of
 
our
 
current
 
Directors.

Composition
 
of
 
the
 
Board
In
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
the
 
Code,
 
a
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
comprised
 
of
 
independent
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors.
 
Our
 
Nominations
Committee
 
considers
 
the
 
independence
 
of
 
our
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
annually,
 
having
 
regard
 
to
 
the
 
independence
 
criteria
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
Code.
As
 
part
 
of
 
this
 
process,
 
our
 
Nominations
 
Committee
 
keeps
 
under
 
review
 
the
 
length
 
of
 
tenure
 
of
 
all
 
Directors,
 
which
 
can
 
affect
 
independence,
and
 
makes
 
any
 
recommendations
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
accordingly.

The

remains
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
lengths
 
of
 
their
 
tenure
 
have
 
no
 
impact
 
on
 
their
respective
 
levels
 
of
 
independence
 
or
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
their
 
contributions.
 
The
 
Board
 
considers
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
to
 
be
independent.
During
 
2020,
 
both
 
Matthew

and
 
Mary
 
Anne
 
Citrino
 
stepped
 
down
 
from

The

Committee
 
regularly
 
reviews
 
the
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
Board
 
Committees
 
and
 
the
 
ExCo.
 
It
 
frequently
 
considers
 
the
 
skills
required
 
for
 
the
 
Board,
 
its
 
Board
 
Committees
 
and
 
the
 
ExCo,
 
identifying
 
the
 
core
 
competencies,
 
diversity
 
and
 
experience
 
required.
 
This,
 
along
with
 
the
 
annual
 
evaluation,
 
helps
 
to
 
refresh
 
the
 
thinking
 
on
 
Board,

Committee
 
and
 
ExCo
 
composition
 
and
 
to
 
determine
 
a
 
timeline
 
for
proposed
 
new
 
appointments.
 
For
 
the
 
Board,
 
it
 
is
 
standard
 
practice
 
to
 
appoint
 
any
 
new
 
Non-Executive
 
Director,
 
or
 
Chair
 
for
 
an
 
initial
 
three-year
term,
 
subject
 
to
 
annual
 
re-election
 
at
 
the
 
AGM,
 
which
 
may
 
be
 
extended
 
for
 
up
 
to
 
a
 
further
 
three-year
 
term.
 
As
 
such,
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
typically
 
serve
 
up
 
to
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
six
 
years.
All
 
Directors
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
election
 
or
 
re-election
 
each
 
year
 
by
 
shareholders
 
at
 
the
 
AGM.
Each
 
year
 
we
 
carry
 
out
 
an
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
evaluate
 
our
 
performance,
 
as
 
a

a
 
Board
 
Committee,
 
the
 
schedule
 
includes
 
an

Risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
control
The
 
Directors
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
ensuring
 
that
 
management
 
maintains
 
an
 
effective
 
system
 
of
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
control
 
and
 
for
assessing
 
its
 
effectiveness.
 
Such
 
a
 
system
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
identify,
 
evaluate
 
and
 
manage,
 
rather
 
than
 
eliminate,
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
failure
 
to
 
achieve
business
 
objectives
 
and
 
can
 
only
 
provide
 
reasonable,
 
and
 
not
 
absolute,
 
assurance
 
against
 
material
 
misstatement
 
or
 
loss.
The
 
Group
 
is
 
committed
 
to
 
operating
 
within
 
a
 
strong
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
control.
 
Barclays
 
has
 
an
 
overarching
 
framework
 
that
 
sets
 
out
 
the
approach
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
internal
 
governance,
The
 
Barclays
 
Guide
.
 
This
 
establishes
 
the
 
mechanisms,
 
principles
 
and
 
processes
 
through
 
which
management
 
implements
 
the
 
strategy
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
Processes
 
are
 
in
 
place
 
for
 
identifying,
 
evaluating
 
and
 
managing
 
the
 
Principal
 
Risks
 
facing
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
‘Guidance
 
on
 
Risk
Management,
 
Internal
 
Control
 
and
 
Related
 
Financial
 
and
 
Business
 
Reporting’,
 
published
 
by
 
the
 
FRC.
 
A
 
key
 
component
 
of
The
 
Barclays
 
Guide
is
 
the
 
ERMF.
 
The
 
purpose
 
of
 
the
 
ERMF
 
is
 
to
 
identify
 
and
 
set
 
minimum
 
requirements
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
risks
 
to
 
the
 
strategic
 
objectives
 
of
 
the
Group.
 
There
 
are
 
eight
 
Principal
 
Risks
 
under
 
the
 
ERMF:
 
Credit
 
risk,
 
Market
 
risk,
 
Treasury
 
and
 
Capital
 
risk,
 
Operational
 
risk,
 
Model
 
risk,
Reputation
 
risk,
 
Conduct
 
risk
 
and
 
Legal
 
risk.
 
The
 
system
 
of
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
control
 
is
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
risk
 
frameworks
 
relating
 
to
each
 
of
 
our
 
eight
 
Principal
 
Risks
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Control
 
Framework,
 
which
 
details
 
requirements
 
for
 
the
 
delivery
 
of
 
control
 
responsibilities.
Group-wide
 
frameworks,
 
policies
 
and
 
standards
 
enable
 
Barclays
 
to
 
meet
 
regulators’
 
expectations
 
relating
 
to
 
internal
 
control
 
and
 
assurance.
Effectiveness
 
of
 
internal
 
controls
Key
 
controls
 
are
 
assessed
 
on
 
a
 
regular
 
basis
 
for
 
both
 
design
 
and
 
operating
 
effectiveness.
 
Issues
 
arising
 
out
 
of
 
these
 
assessments,
 
where
appropriate,
 
are
 
reported
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee.
 
The
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
oversees
 
the
 
control
 
environment
 
(and
 
remediation
 
of
related
 
issues)

the
 
work
 
of

Audit
 
Committee
 
on

The
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
also
 
reviews
 
annually
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
control
 
system,
 
which
 
includes
 
the
 
ERMF.
 
It
 
has
 
concluded
that,
 
throughout
 
the
 
year
 
ended
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
and
 
to
 
date,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
operated
 
a
 
sound
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
that
 
provides
reasonable
 
assurance
 
of
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
controls
 
and
 
compliance
 
with
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations.

Controls
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
A
 
framework
 
of
 
disclosure
 
controls
 
and
 
procedures
 
is
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
approval
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
Specific
 
governance
 
committees
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
examining
 
the
 
financial
 
reports
 
and
 
disclosures
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
have
 
been
 
subject
 
to
adequate
 
verification
 
and
 
comply
 
with
 
applicable
 
standards
 
and
 
legislation.
Where
 
appropriate,
 
these
 
committees
 
report
 
their
 
conclusions
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee,
 
which
 
debates
 
such
 
conclusions
 
and
 
provides
further
 
challenge.
 
Finally,
 
the
 
Board
 
scrutinises
 
and
 
approves
 
results
 
announcements
 
and
 
the
 
Annual
 
Report
 
and
 
ensures
 
that
 
appropriate
disclosures
 
have
 
been
 
made.
 
This
 
governance
 
process
 
ensures
 
that
 
both
 
management
 
and
 
the
 
Board
 
are
 
given
 
sufficient
 
opportunity
 
to
 
debate
and
 
challenge
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
other
 
significant
 
disclosures
 
before
 
they
 
are
 
made

Supporting
 
our
 
suppliers
Our
 
engagement
 
with
 
suppliers
 
is
 
important.
 
The
 
Directors
 
have
 
regard,
 
via
 
management
 
oversight,
 
to
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
foster
 
business
 
relationships
with
 
suppliers
 
and,
 
as
 
such,
 
engage
 
with
 
them
 
to
 
ensure
 
adherence
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays’
 
Supplier
 
Code
 
of
 
Conduct
 
and
 
Supply
 
Control
 
obligations
which
 
cover
 
our
 
expectations
 
of
 
suppliers.
Adherence
 
is
 
confirmed
 
through
 
pre-contract
 
attestation.
 
Further,
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
is
 
a
 
signatory
 
to
 
the
 
Prompt
 
Payment
 
Code
 
in
 
the
 
UK,
committing
 
to
 
pay
 
our
 
suppliers
 
within
 
clearly
 
defined
 
terms.
 
In
 
2019,
 
we
 
achieved
 
88%
 
(2018:
 
85%)
 
on-time
 
payment
 
by
 
value
 
to
 
our
 
suppliers,
meeting
 
our
 
public
 
commitment
 
to
 
the
 
suppliers
 
of
 
85%.
Environment
 
Barclays
 
focuses
 
on
 
addressing
 
environmental
 
issues
 
where
 
we
 
believe
 
we
 
have
 
the
 
greatest
 
potential
 
to
 
make
 
a
 
difference.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
our
ambition
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
net
 
zero
 
bank
 
by
 
2050,
 
we
 
continue
 
to
 
work
 
towards
 
aligning
 
our
 
financing
 
with
 
the
 
Paris
 
Agreement
 
(see

2020
 
performance
 
update
 
In
 
line
 
with
 
Barclays’
 
ambition
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
net
 
zero
 
bank,
 
Barclays
 
remains
 
committed
 
to
 
managing
 
our
 
own
 
operational
 
footprint
 
and
 
transitioning
 
to
a
 
low-carbon
 
economy.
 
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
achieved
 
a
 
71%
 
scope
 
1
 
and
 
2
 
emission
 
reduction
 
against
 
our
 
2018
 
baseline,
 
and
 
we
 
continue
 
to
 
offset
 
our
residual
 
emissions
 
from
 
our
 
operations
 
and
 
business
 
travel.
 
This
 
reduction
 
was
 
principally
 
achieved
 
through
 
the
 
expansion
 
of
 
our
 
renewable
electricity
 
purchasing
 
programme
 
across
 
Continental
 
Europe,
 
United
 
Kingdom
 
Hong
 
Kong,
 
Japan,
 
Singapore
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States.
 
Our
 
current
renewable
 
electricity
 
consumption
 
currently
 
stands
 
at
 
74%
 
against
 
our
 
interim
 
target
 
of
 
procuring
 
90%
 
of
 
our
 
electricity
 
from
 
renewable
 
sources
by

year
 
for
 
our

emissions
 
is
 
1
 
October
 
to
 
30

The
 
methodology
 
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
our
 
GHG

is
 
the
 
‘Greenhouse

(ERI/WBCSD).
 
We
 
have
 
adopted
 
the
 
operational
 
control
 
approach
 
on

Preparation
 
of
 
accounts
The
 
Directors
 
are
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006
 
to
 
prepare
 
Group
 
and
 
Company
 
accounts
 
for
 
each
 
financial
 
year
 
and,
 
with
 
regard
 
to
Group
 
accounts,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
Article
 
4
 
of
 
the
 
IAS
 
Regulation.
 
The
 
Directors
 
have
 
prepared
 
Group
 
and
 
Company
 
accounts:
 
a)
 
in
accordance
 
with
 
international
 
accounting
 
standards
 
in
 
conformity
 
with
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006;
 
and
 
b)
 
international
financial
 
reporting

as
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
IASB
 
and
 
adopted
 
pursuant
 
to
 
Regulation
 
(EC)
 
No.
 
1606/2002
 
as
 
it
 
applies
 
in
 
the
 
European
Union.
 
Pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006,
 
the
 
Directors
 
must
 
not
 
approve
 
the
 
accounts
 
unless
 
they
 
are
 
satisfied
 
that
 
they
 
give
 
a
 
true
 
and
 
fair
view
 
of
 
the
 
state
 
of
 
affairs
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
Company
 
and
 
of
 
their
 
profit
 
or
 
loss
 
for
 
that
 
period.
The
 
Directors
 
consider
 
that,
 
in
 
preparing
 
the
 
financial
 
statements,
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
Company
 
have
 
used
 
appropriate
 
accounting
 
policies,
supported
 
by
 
reasonable

that
 
all
 
accounting
 
standards
 
which
 
they
 
consider
 
to
 
be
 
applicable
 
have
 
been
 
followed.
The
 
Directors
 
are
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
Annual
 
Report
 
and
 
Financial
 
Statements,
 
taken
 
as
 
a

are
 
fair,

Dear
 
Fellow
 
Shareholders
I
 
am
 
pleased
 
to
 
present
 
the
 
Directors’
 
Remuneration
 
Report
 
for
 
2020,
 
and
 
my
 
last
 
statement
 
to
 
you
 
as
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
Remuneration
 
Committee.
 
I
know
 
that
 
my
 
successor,
 
Brian
 
Gilvary,
 
will
 
be
 
an
 
excellent
 
replacement
 
and
 
I
 
wish
 
him
 
all
 
the
 
very
 
best
 
when
 
he
 
assumes
 
the
 
chair
 
in
 
March.
It
 
has
 
been
 
an
 
exceptionally
 
challenging
 
year
 
for
 
a
 
great
 
many
 
of
 
us,
 
and
 
one
 
with
 
far
 
reaching
 
consequences
 
for
 
our
 
economy
 
and
 
our
 
society.
In
 
this
 
context,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
faced
 
some
 
extremely
 
difficult
 
decisions
 
about
 
the
 
most
 
appropriate
 
way
 
to
 
remunerate
 
colleagues
 
for
 
some
outstanding
 
work
 
over
 
the
 
last
 
12
 
months.
 
We
 
have
 
taken
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
important
 
considerations
 
into
 
account,
 
including
 
our
 
financial
 
and
 
non-
financial
 
performance
 
in
 
both
 
relative
 
and
 
absolute
 
terms,
 
the
 
views
 
and
 
expectations
 
of
 
our
 
stakeholders,
 
and
 
the
 
differing
 
contributions
 
of
 
our
businesses
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
resilience,
which
 
has
 
in
 
turn
 
enabled
 
us
 
to
 
support
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
the
 
communities
 
that
 
we
 
serve.
Our
 
deliberations
 
have
 
been
 
extensive,
 
and
 
I
 
want
 
to
 
use
 
this
 
statement
 
to
 
be
 
transparent
 
with
 
you
 
about
 
our
 
decision-making.
As
 
ever,
 
we
 
have
 
been
 
guided
 
by
 
the
 
principles
 
of
 
our
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
agenda
 
and,
 
in
 
particular,
 
the
 
importance
 
of
 
properly
 
recognising
 
the
 
contribution
of
 
our
 
junior
 
colleagues.
 
You
 
can
 
read
 
more
 
about
 
our
 
approach
 
to
 
fairness
 
in
 
our
 
third
 
annual
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
Report,
 
published
 
alongside
 
this
document.
 
Consistent
 
with
 
previous
 
years,
 
we
 
have
 
also
 
published
 
our
 
UK
 
pay
 
gap
 
figures
 
and
 
a
 
narrative
 
explaining
 
them.
 
Performance
Rewarding
 
sustainable
 
performance
 
remains
 
a
 
crucial
 
aspect
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
the
 
Committee
 
considers
 
its
 
decisions.
 
We
 
recognise
 
the
 
pandemic’s
impact
 
on
 
our
 
financial
 
performance,
 
with
 
reductions
 
in
 
PBT
 
and
 
RoTE
 
following
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
years
 
of
 
sustained
 
annual
 
improvements
a
.
 
We
 
are
however
 
proud
 
of
 
what
 
we
 
have
 
achieved
 
as
 
an
 
organisation
 
in
 
a
 
truly
 
difficult
 
year.
 
Not
 
only
 
have
 
we
 
remained
 
fully
 
open
 
for
 
business,
supporting
 
our
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
as
 
they
 
navigate
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
we
 
have
 
demonstrated
 
ourselves
 
to
 
be
 
extremely
 
resilient,
 
remaining
profitable
 
in
 
each
 
quarter
 
despite
 
the
 
challenging
 
macroeconomic
 
environment,
 
while
 
continuing
 
to
 
demonstrate
 
a
 
capacity
 
for
 
strong
 
capital
generation.
 
Consequently,
 
we
 
have
 
today
 
announced
 
a
 
total
 
payout
 
equivalent
 
to
 
c.5p
 
per
 
share,
 
comprising
 
a
 
1.0p
 
2020
 
full
 
year
 
dividend
 
and
the
 
intention
 
to
 
initiate
 
a
 
share
 
buyback
 
of
 
up
 
to
 
£700m
 
which
 
I
 
know
 
will
 
be
 
welcome.
We
 
have
 
entered
 
2021
 
in
 
a
 
position
 
of
 
strength
 
and
 
stability
 
for
 
the
 
future;
 
well
 
capitalised
 
and
 
importantly
 
well-positioned
 
to
 
support
 
an
economic
 
recovery.
 
Our
 
business
 
diversification
 
has
 
meant
 
that
 
our
 
investment
 
banking
 
businesses
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
benefit
 
from
 
the
 
increased
 
volatility
 
and
 
wider
trading
 
margins
 
observed
 
during
 
2020.
 
This,
 
together
 
with
 
strong
 
relative
 
performance
 
as
 
evidenced
 
particularly
 
by
 
the
 
continued
 
improvement
in
 
Markets
 
market
 
share
b
,
 
has
 
meant
 
that
 
these
 
businesses
 
have
 
significantly
 
outperformed
 
expectations.
 
Income
 
in
 
our
 
Markets
 
businesses
 
is
up
 
45%
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
and
 
in
 
Banking,
 
income
 
is
 
up
 
8%
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
 
the
 
biggest
 
annual
 
improvements
 
since
 
the
 
reconfiguration
 
of
 
those
businesses.
As
 
a
 
result,
 
Group
 
income
 
was
 
up
 
on
 
2019
 
despite
 
an
 
incredibly
 
challenging
 
year
 
for
 
our
 
Corporate
 
Bank
 
and
 
consumer
 
businesses,
 
impacted
as
 
they
 
were
 
by
 
lower
 
income
 
and
 
materially
 
higher
 
impairment
 
charges
 
in
 
the
 
wake
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
This
 
capacity
 
for
 
one
 
part
 
of
the
 
Group’s
 
performance
 
to
 
offset
 
another
 
is
 
an
 
illustration
 
of
 
the
 
benefits
 
of
 
the
 
diversification
 
that
 
is
 
inherent
 
in
 
our
 
universal
 
banking
 
model.
This
 
has
 
helped
 
our
 
ability
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
economy
 
and
 
society
 
at
 
a
 
time
 
of
 
acute
 
need.
 
As
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
Nigel
 
Higgins’
 
and
 
Jes
 
Staley’s
 
letters
 
to
 
shareholders,
 
we
 
have
 
delivered
 
an
 
enormous
 
amount
 
of
 
financial
 
support
 
for
 
our
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
this
 
year,
 
including
 
facilitating
 
c.
 
£27bn
 
of
 
finance
 
to
 
British
 
businesses,
 
waiving
 
millions
 
of
 
pounds
 
in
 
fees
 
for
 
customers
and
 
helping
 
corporate
 
clients
 
and
 
governments
 
raise
 
billions
 
to
 
strengthen
 
their
 
balance
 
sheets
 
(underwriting
 
c.
 
£1.5
 
trillion
 
of
 
new
 
issuance
c
).
We
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
do
 
a
 
significant
 
amount
 
for
 
wider
 
society
 
too,
 
whether
 
through
 
the
 
launch
 
of
 
our
 
£100m
 
COVID-19
 
Community
 
Aid
Package,
 
or
 
in
 
the
 
steps
 
we
 
have
 
taken
 
on
 
the
 
road
 
to
 
becoming
 
a
 
net
 
zero
 
bank
 
by
 
2050.

Colleague
 
remuneration
Throughout
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
our
 
colleagues
 
 
many
 
of
 
whom
 
were
 
on
 
the
 
frontline
 
supporting
 
customers
 
 
have
 
worked
 
incredibly
 
hard
 
to
 
keep
things
 
running.
 
Our
 
financial
 
resilience
 
has
 
allowed
 
us
 
to
 
help
 
them
 
too,
 
for
 
instance
 
by
 
offering
 
full
 
pay
 
to
 
those
 
unable
 
to
 
work
 
because
 
they
were
 
isolating
 
or
 
caring
 
for
 
dependants.
 
We
 
increased
 
overtime
 
rates
 
to
 
support
 
colleagues
 
given
 
their
 
need
 
to
 
work
 
significantly
 
extended
hours,
 
to
 
both
 
manage
 
the
 
unprecedented
 
demands
 
from
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
temporary
 
loss
 
of
 
some
 
geographical
 
locations
dues
 
to
 
local
 
lockdowns.
 
Additionally,
 
we
 
enhanced
 
our
 
benefits
 
where
 
needed,
 
including
 
improving
 
medical
 
benefit
 
provision
 
in
 
India
 
and
meeting
 
additional
 
childcare
 
needs
 
where
 
required.
 
We
 
did
 
not
 
put
 
any
 
staff
 
on
 
furlough
 
(indeed
 
hiring
 
additional
 
colleagues,
 
with
 
overall
headcount
 
up
 
slightly
 
on
 
2019),
 
and
 
implemented
 
a
 
temporary
 
moratorium
 
on
 
redundancies.
 
The
 
Committee’s
 
determination
 
of
 
the
 
annual
 
incentive
 
pool
 
includes
 
consideration
 
of
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors,
 
such
 
as
 
financial
 
performance,
delivery
 
of
 
our
 
strategy,
 
risk
 
and
 
conduct.
 
We
 
consider
 
Barclays’
 
performance
 
as
 
a
 
Group,
 
but
 
also
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
performance
 
of
individual
 
businesses
 
within
 
that
 
Group,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
those
 
businesses’
 
contributions
 
to
 
our
 
strategic
 
targets
 
and
 
vision,
 
and
 
their
 
importance
 
to
our
 
future
 
success.
 
Assessing
 
and
 
rewarding
 
performance
 
in
 
this
 
way
 
also
 
means
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
incentive
 
pool
 
does
 
not
 
always
 
move
 
directly
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
Group’s
 
overall
 
financial
 
performance.
 
In
 
2019,
 
while
 
financial
 
performance
 
was
 
up
 
and
 
non-financial
 
performance
 
was
 
also
 
very
 
strong,
 
the
incentive
 
pool
 
was
 
reduced
 
to
 
support
 
our
 
continued
 
progression
 
towards
 
our
 
strategic
 
targets
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
delivering
 
greater
 
returns
 
to
shareholders.
 
This
 
year,
 
we
 
have
 
had
 
to
 
consider
 
how
 
we
 
balance
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
maintain
 
our
 
successful
 
universal
 
banking
 
model,
 
with
 
the
financial
 
challenges
 
that
 
we
 
and
 
others
 
have
 
faced.
For
 
many
 
businesses,
 
such
 
as
 
our
 
Corporate
 
Bank
 
and
 
consumer
 
businesses
 
(including
 
Barclays
 
UK
 
 
our
 
ring-fenced
 
bank)
 
profit
 
before
 
tax
 
is
down,
 
driven
 
by
 
lower
 
income
 
and
 
higher
 
impairment
 
costs.
 
At
 
the
 
same
 
time,
 
strategic
 
delivery
 
has
 
been
 
very
 
strong,
 
continuing
 
to
 
make
progress
 
on
 
our
 
digital
 
agenda
 
and
 
focussing
 
on
 
our
 
customer
 
and
 
client
 
experiences.
 
Balancing
 
these
 
different
 
considerations,
 
the
 
incentive
pools
 
for
 
all
 
of
 
these
 
businesses
 
are
 
down
 
this
 
year,
 
reflecting
 
the
 
lower
 
financial
 
performance
 
outcomes.
 
However,
 
consistent
 
with
 
our
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
agenda,
 
we
 
have
 
chosen
 
to
 
protect
 
outcomes
 
for
 
our
 
junior
 
colleagues
 
and,
 
as
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
greatest
reductions
 
in
 
incentives
 
will
 
be
 
observed
 
for
 
more
 
senior
 
colleagues
 
in
 
these
 
businesses.
 
It
 
has
 
been
 
junior
 
colleagues
 
in
 
many
 
businesses
 
who
have
 
been
 
on
 
the
 
front
 
line
 
directly
 
supporting
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
during
 
the
 
pandemic
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
felt
 
it
 
appropriate
 
to
 
reward
 
those
efforts.
 
Additionally,
 
the
 
Committee
 
believes
 
it
 
is
 
right
 
to
 
recognise
 
the
 
outstanding
 
work
 
of
 
our
 
investment
 
banking
 
colleagues
 
this
 
year,
 
particularly
given
 
the
 
continued
 
financial
 
performance
 
improvements
 
of
 
those
 
businesses
 
and
 
their
 
significant
 
contribution
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
financial
resilience.
 
Since
 
2018,
 
the
 
profitability
a
 
of
 
the
 
Corporate
 
and
 
Investment
 
Bank
 
has
 
increased
 
by
 
51%
 
(2020
 
up
 
31%
 
on
 
2019),
 
with
 
the
 
associated
improvement
 
in
 
returns.
 
This
 
strong
 
performance
 
has
 
been
 
driven
 
by
 
increases
 
in
 
investment
 
banking
 
revenues,
 
specifically
 
in
 
FICC
 
and
equities,
 
where
 
we
 
have
 
continued
 
to
 
grow
 
market
 
share
b
.
 
We
 
are
 
the
 
only
 
scale
 
British
 
investment
 
bank;
 
we
 
operate
 
globally
 
and,
 
importantly,
we
 
have
 
a
 
leading
 
presence
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
(correspondingly,
 
almost
 
three-quarters
 
of
 
the
 
incentive
 
pool
 
for
 
the
 
investment
 
bank
 
businesses
 
relates
to
 
populations
 
outside
 
the
 
UK).
 
Our
 
investment
 
banking
 
businesses
 
provide
 
us
 
with
 
a
 
point
 
of
 
strategic
 
advantage
 
as
 
we
 
move
 
into
 
2021
 
and
beyond,
 
providing
 
an
 
important
 
diversification
 
of
 
income
 
stream,
 
particularly
 
at
 
a
 
time
 
of
 
so
 
much
 
transformation
 
and
 
challenge
 
in
 
the
 
retail
banking
 
sector.
 
It
 
is
 
appropriate
 
that
 
we
 
reward
 
the
 
exceptional
 
collective
 
effort
 
of
 
these
 
colleagues,
 
albeit
 
with
 
the
 
appropriate
 
restraint.
 
Taking
 
all
 
of
 
this
 
into
 
account,
 
the
 
Committee
 
has
 
approved
 
a
 
Group
 
incentive
 
pool
 
of
 
£1,580m.
 
This
 
represents
 
a
 
relatively
 
modest
 
increase
across
 
the
 
investment
 
banking
 
businesses,
 
reductions
 
for
 
all
 
other
 
businesses
 
and
 
appropriate
 
recognition
 
for
 
the
 
contributions
 
of
 
our
 
more
junior
 
colleagues.
 
The
 
unusual
 
dynamic
 
for
 
2020
 
is
 
the
 
significantly
 
lower
 
contribution
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
financial
 
results
 
from
 
our
 
Corporate
 
banking
and
 
consumer
 
businesses,
 
driven
 
principally
 
by
 
impairment.
 
While
 
the
 
incentive
 
pools
 
in
 
those
 
areas
 
have
 
been
 
reduced
 
as
 
noted
 
above,
 
they
are
 
relatively
 
small
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
overall
 
incentive
 
pool.
 
The
 
result
 
is
 
that
 
significant
 
reductions
 
in
 
financial
 
contributions
 
originating
 
from
those
 
business
 
areas
 
cannot
 
be
 
directly
 
reflected
 
in
 
proportionate
 
reductions
 
to
 
the
 
overall
 
incentive
 
pool.
We
 
believe
 
that
 
this
 
outcome
 
is
 
appropriate
 
given
 
the
 
performance
 
delivered,
 
and
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
consistent
 
with
 
our
 
philosophy
 
of
 
rewarding
sustainable
 
performance,
 
which
 
in
 
turn
 
supports
 
our
 
long-term
 
strategy
 
of
 
delivering
 
improved
 
returns
 
to
 
shareholders.
 
As
 
always,
 
a
 
significant
portion
 
of
 
the
 
pool
 
is
 
delivered
 
in
 
shares,
 
most
 
of
 
which
 
will
 
be
 
deferred
 
over
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
years.

Barclays
 
PLC
 
2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
Executive
 
Director
 
remuneration
The
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
responded
 
quickly
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
agreeing
 
to
 
postpone
 
increases
 
to
 
their
 
Fixed
 
Pay
 
which
 
had
 
been
 
proposed
 
as
part
 
of
 
the
 
new
 
Directors’
 
Remuneration
 
Policy
 
introduced
 
last
 
year.
 
They
 
also
 
took
 
the
 
decision
 
to
 
donate
 
one-third
 
of
 
their
 
Fixed
 
Pay
 
for
 
six
months
 
to
 
our
 
COVID-19
 
Community
 
Aid
 
Package.
 
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
decided
 
to
 
postpone
 
the
 
first
 
instalment
 
of
 
their
 
2017-2019
 
LTIP
awards,
 
which
 
had
 
been
 
due
 
to
 
be
 
released
 
in
 
June
 
2020,
 
until
 
2021.
 
The
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
requested,
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
accepted,
 
that
their
 
2020
 
Fixed
 
Pay
 
increases
 
(now
 
approved)
 
be
 
postponed
 
again,
 
until
 
at
 
least
 
the
 
second
 
half
 
of
 
this
 
year
 
when
 
the
 
Committee
 
will
reconsider
 
the
 
implementation
 
with
 
them,
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
prevailing
 
external
 
environment.
The
 
Committee
 
has
 
considered
 
at
 
length
 
the
 
appropriateness
 
of
 
bonus
 
and
 
LTIP
 
outcomes
 
for
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
for
 
2020.
 
Annual
bonuses
 
were
 
assessed
 
against
 
the
 
financial,
 
strategic
 
and
 
personal
 
measures
 
that
 
were
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
Directors’
 
Remuneration
 
Report
 
for
2019.
 
While
 
Group
 
income
 
was
 
up
 
slightly
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
and
 
costs
 
well
 
controlled,
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic
 
on
 
impairment
 
resulted
 
in
significantly
 
reduced
 
2020
 
bonus
 
outcomes,
 
38.6%
 
of
 
max
 
for
 
the
 
CEO
 
and
 
GFD,
 
down
 
materially
 
from
 
the
 
outcomes
 
for
 
2019
 
(75.0%
 
and
75.9%
 
respectively).
 
Similarly,
 
the
 
outcome
 
for
 
the
 
2018-2020
 
LTIP
 
was
 
also
 
materially
 
impacted
 
by
 
impairment,
 
with
 
an
 
outcome
 
of
 
23%
 
of
maximum,
 
down
 
from
 
48.5%
 
for
 
the
 
2017-2019
 
LTIP.
While
 
the
 
Committee
 
did
 
review
 
the
 
continued
 
appropriateness
 
of
 
the
 
respective
 
plan
 
measures
 
and
 
targets
 
given
 
the
 
exogenous
 
nature
 
of
 
the
pandemic,
 
it
 
prioritised
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
ensure
 
appropriate
 
alignment
 
between
 
the
 
outcomes
 
for
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
with
 
the
 
experience
 
of
investors.
 
In
 
particular,
 
this
 
included
 
the
 
sector-wide
 
cancellation
 
of
 
the
 
2019
 
dividend
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
UK
 
regulatory
 
expectations
 
and
 
the
 
associated
delay
 
in
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
that
 
distribution
 
experienced
 
by
 
our
 
shareholders.
 
While
 
this
 
benefit
 
will
 
likely
 
be
 
realised
 
in
 
the
 
future,
 
given
 
the
 
additional
capital
 
retained
 
and
 
the
 
recommencement
 
of
 
distributions,
 
the
 
delay
 
was
 
considered
 
by
 
the
 
Committee,
 
alongside
 
the
 
broader
 
challenges
 
facing
society
 
as
 
a
 
whole.
We
 
believe
 
the
 
outcomes
 
on
 
both
 
bonus
 
and
 
LTIP
 
align
 
appropriately
 
with
 
stakeholder
 
considerations.
 
They
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
financial
performance
 
outcomes,
 
very
 
strong
 
non-financial
 
delivery
 
and
 
the
 
exceptional
 
contributions
 
of
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors-
 
both
 
the
 
outstanding
leadership
 
provided
 
during
 
the
 
year,
 
and
 
the
 
positive
 
impact
 
of
 
a
 
multiyear
 
strategy
 
and
 
transformation
 
that
 
has
 
enabled
 
us
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
deliver
so
 
effectively
 
for
 
stakeholders
 
during
 
a
 
time
 
of
 
such
 
challenge.
Total
 
variable
 
pay
 
(annual
 
bonus
 
and
 
LTIP)
 
will
 
be
 
primarily
 
delivered
 
in
 
shares
 
for
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors,
 
aligning
 
more
 
closely
 
to
 
the
shareholder
 
experience
 
during
 
this
 
particularly
 
difficult
 
period.
 
The
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
continue
 
to
 
build
 
substantial
 
shareholdings,
 
and
 
neither
have
 
sold
 
any
 
shares
 
since
 
their
 
appointments.
 
We
 
have
 
not
 
changed
 
in-flight
 
bonus
 
and
 
LTIP
 
arrangements
 
and
 
have
 
not
 
altered
 
the
 
performance
 
measures
 
or
 
targets
 
for
 
these
 
plans.
The
 
Committee
 
has
 
also
 
considered
 
the
 
performance
 
measures
 
for
 
the
 
2021
 
bonus
 
and
 
2021-2023
 
LTIP
 
very
 
carefully.
 
The
 
bonus
 
measures
are
 
unchanged,
 
as
 
they
 
continue
 
to
 
represent
 
relevant
 
building
 
blocks
 
towards
 
our
 
key
 
longer–term
 
financial
 
goals.
For
 
the
 
2021-2023
 
LTIP,
 
we
 
have
 
decided
 
to
 
broaden
 
the
 
measures
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
financial
 
assessment
 
will
 
be
 
based.
 
As
 
we
 
continue
 
to
navigate
 
through
 
a
 
more
 
volatile
 
macroeconomic
 
environment,
 
this
 
will
 
better
 
balance
 
our
 
long
 
term
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors’
financial
 
performance.
 
RoTE
 
and
 
CIR
 
will
 
be
 
maintained
 
as
 
measures,
 
though
 
RoTE
 
will
 
be
 
tested
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
cycle,
 
helping
 
to
 
determine
how
 
effectively
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
navigate
 
the
 
financial
 
recovery
 
and
 
steer
 
Barclays
 
back
 
towards
 
our
 
targets
 
over
 
the
 
medium
 
term.
 
In
addition
 
to
 
RoTE,
 
we
 
will
 
be
 
adding
 
CET1
 
and
 
relative
 
Total
 
Shareholder
 
Return
 
(TSR)
 
measures.
 
The
 
addition
 
of
 
a
 
CET1
 
measure
 
reflects
 
the
continued
 
importance
 
of
 
our
 
prudential
 
stability
 
and
 
balance
 
sheet
 
strength,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
coming
 
potentially
 
difficult
 
years.
 
Adding
 
a
 
relative
TSR
 
measure
 
acknowledges
 
the
 
challenges
 
associated
 
with
 
calibrating
 
absolute
 
performance
 
targets
 
in
 
the
 
current
 
uncertain
 
environment,
providing
 
instead
 
a
 
relative
 
performance
 
lens
 
that
 
is
 
not
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
same
 
difficulties,
 
while
 
maintaining
 
a
 
50%
 
total
 
weighting
 
on
 
returns
measures.
 
In
 
addition,
 
we
 
are
 
adding
 
a
 
specific
 
Climate
 
measure
 
with
 
a
 
weighting
 
of
 
10%
 
to
 
the
 
non-financial
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
2021-2023
 
LTIP,
 
reflecting
our
 
ambition
 
to
 
be
 
net
 
zero
 
by
 
2050,
 
including
 
our
 
commitment
 
to
 
align
 
our
 
financing
 
with
 
the
 
goals
 
of
 
the
 
Paris
 
Climate
 
Agreement.

the

of

the
 
2020-2022
 
LTIP,
 
and
 
the
 
full
 
details
 
of
the
 
new
 
LTIP
 
to
 
be

for
 
2021-2023
 
are
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
this
 
report.
Looking
 
ahead
As
 
we
 
move
 
into
 
2021,
 
the
 
Committee
 
will
 
be
 
ensuring
 
that
 
the

reflected

approaches,
 
as
 
we
 
work
 
to
 
embed
 
them
 
throughout
 
the

Long-term

This

all

should
 
understand
 
how
 
we

and

should
 
be
 
a
 
lens
 
through
 
which

decisions
Our
 
philosophy
 
in
 
action
The
 
pay
 
decisions
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
this
 
report
 
are
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
our
 
remuneration
 
philosophy
 
during
 
2020.
 
Our
 
philosophy
 
and
 
the
 
way
 
that
 
we
 
approach
 
remuneration
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
be
 
as
 
simple
 
and
 
clear
 
as
 
possible,
 
while
 
ensuring
 
strong
 
alignment
with
 
risk,
 
conduct
 
and
 
our
 
Values.
 
It
 
is
 
closely
 
aligned
 
with
 
Provision
 
40
 
of
 
the
 
FRC’s
 
UK
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Code,
 
and
 
we
 
have
 
continued
to
 
be
 
transparent
 
on
 
the
 
resulting
 
outcomes
 
in
 
this
 
report.
 
Specifically
 
relating
 
to
 
our
 
Executive
 
Directors,
 
we
 
have
 
reviewed
 
the
 
performance
 
measures
 
for
 
the
 
forward-looking
 
incentives,
 
and
 
in
 
particular
have
 
updated
 
the
 
financial
 
performance
 
measures
 
for
 
the
 
2021-2023
 
Long
 
Term
 
Incentive

to
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
remain
 
appropriate
 
in
light
 
of
 
current
 
circumstances
 
and
 
challenges.
 
Alongside
 
our
 
strategic
 
non-financial
 
performance
 
objectives,
 
this
 
will
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
link
between
 
the
 
delivery
 
of
 
our
 
strategy
 
(and
 
long-term
 
performance)
 
and
 
individual

continues
 
to
 
be
 
reinforced.
 
The
 
report
 
sets
 
out
minimum
 
and
 
maximum
 
potential
 
outcomes
 
under
 
each
 
plan
 
for
 
reference.
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
alignment
 
of
 
executive
 
pay
 
to
 
culture
 
is
 
enhanced
by
 
the
 
inclusion
 
of
 
the
 
responsibility
 
to
 
embed
 
our
 
updated
 
Purpose,
 
Values
 
and
 
Mindset
 
throughout
 
the
 
organisation
 
in
 
the
 
personal
 
objectives
for
 
our
 
Group
 
CEO.
 
We
 
consider
 
the
 
views
 
of
 
all
 
of
 
our
 
stakeholders
 
in
 
remuneration
 
decision-making.
 
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
have
 
achieved
 
this
 
by
 
meeting
 
with
 
institutional
shareholders
 
to
 
understand
 
their
 
views
 
on
 
our
 
new
 
policy
 
(including
 
how
 
it
 
should
 
be
 
implemented),
 
engaging
 
extensively
 
with
 
our
 
regulators
 
to
support
 
their
 
actions
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
and
 
continuing
 
our
 
partnership
 
with
 
Unite
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
to
 
understand
 
the
 
views
 
of
 
their
 
members
and
 
negotiate
 
a
 
new
 
pay
 
deal,
 
delivering
 
an
 
above
 
inflation
 
increase.
 
We
 
used
 
our
 
2019
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
report
 
to
 
share
 
information
 
on
 
our
 
approach
 
to

with
 
colleagues,
 
including
 
how
 
executive
 
remuneration
 
aligns
 
with
 
wider

Paying
 
fairly
 
and

is
 
a
 
priority
 
at
 
Barclays.
 
The
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
agenda
 
brings
 
together
 
the
 
five
 
themes
 
which
 
explain
 
how
 
we
 
think
 
about
fair
 
pay
 
at
 
Barclays.
 
We
 
use
 
our
 
Fair
 
Pay
 
Report
 
to
 
engage
 
our
 
employees
 
on
 
pay,
 
explaining
 
our
 
approach
 
to
 
fair
 
pay,
 
including
 
the
 
alignment
of
 
the

We

which

Our
 
approach
 
to
 
fair
 
pay
 
helped
 
guide
 
our
 
remuneration
 
decision-making
 
in
 
2020.
 
In
 
turn,
 
this
 
enhanced
 
the
 
support
 
we
 
were
 
able
 
to
 
provide
 
to
our
 
customers
 
and
 
clients,
 
colleagues
 
and
 
society
 
throughout
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
Customers
 
and
 
Clients
 
Our
 
focus
 
was
 
on
 
ensuring
 
that
 
we
 
were
available
 
for
 
our
 
Customers
 
and
 
Clients
despite
 
the
 
challenges
 
of
 
COVID-related
absences
 
and
 
the
 
temporary
 
loss
 
of
some
 
geographical
 
locations
 
due
 
to
 
local
lockdowns.
 
We
 
supported
 
this
 
effort
 
by
providing
 
Colleagues
 
with
 
additional
overtime
 
rates
 
where
 
needed
 
A
 
number
 
of
 
actions
 
were
 
taken
 
for
Customers
 
and
 
Clients
 
who
 
needed
additional
 
financial
 
support,
 
as
 
well
 
as
facilitating
 
the

of
 
c.
 
£27bn

to
 
British

under

Our

during
 
the

this
 
happen

with
 
other

e.g.
the

to
 
care
 
for

and
 
where
 
it
 
was
 
not
possible
 
for
 
them
 
to
 
complete
 
their

we
 
continued
 
to
 
pay
 
them
 
their

was
 
implemented
 
for

We
 
did

As
 
outlined
 
earlier,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
a
 
clearly
 
articulated
 
remuneration
 
philosophy.
 
This
 
continues
 
to
 
drive
 
our
 
thinking
 
in
 
how
 
we
 
structure
 
and
determine
 
remuneration
 
for
 
all
 
employees
 
from
 
the
 
most
 
senior
 
(as
 
well
 
as
 
our
 
Executive
 
Directors)
 
to
 
our
 
new
 
apprentices
 
and

As
part
 
of
 
our

we

and

for

We
 
continue
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
we

with
 
all
 
prevailing
 
regulation.
 
We

receive
 
a

The

to
 
future
 
years.
Deferred
 
bonuses
 
are
 
generally
 
delivered
 
in
 
equal
 
portions
 
as
 
deferred
 
cash
 
and
 
shares.
 
They
 
are
subject
 
to
 
either
 
a
 
3,
 
5
 
or
 
7-year
 
deferral
 
period
 
(and
 
further
 
holding
 
periods
 
of
 
six
 
or
 
12
 
months
 
for
deferrals
 
in
 
shares)
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
regulatory
 
requirements.
 
Consistent
 
with
 
regulation,
 
the
 
remuneration
 
of
 
MRTs
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
2:1
 
maximum
 
ratio
 
of
 
variable

Performance
 
management
Performance
 
assessment
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
“what”
 
is
 
achieved
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
individual,
 
team
 
and
 
business
objectives,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
“how”
 
this
 
is
 
achieved
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
Barclays’
 
Values.
 
Both
 
elements
 
are
assessed
 
independently
 
of
 
each
 
other
 
with
 
no
 
requirement
 
to
 
have
 
an
 
overall
 
rating.
 
This
 
reinforces
the
 
equal
 
importance
 
of
 
the
 
“what”
 
and
 
“how”.
Risk
 
and
 
conduct
Risk
 
and
 
conduct
 
is
 
taken
 
seriously
 
at
 
Barclays
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
ensures
 
that
 
there
 
are
 
in
 
year
adjustments,
 
malus
 
or
 
clawback
 
applied
 
to
 
individual
 
remuneration,
 
where
 
appropriate.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
individual
 
adjustments,
 
the
 
Committee
 
considers
 
collective
 
adjustments
 
to
 
the
 
incentive
pool
 
for
 
risk
 
and
 
conduct.
 
For
 
2020,
 
the
 
total
 
impact
 
of
 
risk
 
and
 
conduct
 
related
 
collective
adjustments
 
is
 
a
 
reduction
 
of
 
c.
 
£80m.

up
 
to
 
this

Discretion
In

that
 
the

can
 
exercise
 
in

the

reserves
 
the
 
right

either
 
minor

amendments
 
to

The

would
 
only
 
exercise
 
this
 
right
 
if
 
it
 
believed
 
it
 
was
 
in
 
the
best
 
interests
 
of
 
the

to

so

26.46%.
Recognising
 
his
 
very
 
strong
 
performance
 
against
 
both
 
his
 
individual
 
and
 
shared
 
personal
 
objectives
 
during

and
 
his
 
exceptional
 
leadership
of
 
the
 
organisation
 
through
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
the

assessed
 
that
 
an
 
outcome
 
of
 
17%
 
out
 
of
 
a
 
maximum
 
of
 
20%
 
was
 
appropriate.
The

reflected
 
on
 
the

for
 
Jes
 
Staley
 
under
 
the
 
formulaic
 
components
 
of

which
delivered
 
38.6%
 
of
 
the

of
 
which
 
53%
 
will
 
be

The

believes
 
this
 
overall
 
bonus
 
outcome
 
for
 
Jes
 
is
 
aligned
 
appropriately
 
with
 
stakeholder
 
considerations.
 
It
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
financial
outcomes,
 
the
 
very

At
 
the
 
onset
 
of
 
the

the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
requested
 
that
 
the
 
Fixed

of
 
the
 
Directors’
 
remuneration
policy
 
be
 
postponed

Given
 
the
 
current

have
 
asked
 
that
 
these
increases
 
continue

The
 
Committee
 
decided
 
to
 
make
 
an
 
award
 
under
 
the
 
2021-2023
 
LTIP
 
cycle
 
to
 
Jes

Pay
 
for
 
the
 
CEO
 
and
 
134%
 
of
 
Fixed
 
Pay
 
for
 
the
 
GFD.
 
This
 
maximum
 
award
 
was
 
determined
 
following
 
a
 
detailed
 
review
 
of
 
their
individual
 
performance
 
throughout
 
2020
 
and
 
significant
 
personal
 
contribution
 
to
 
the
 
resilience
 
of
 
the
 
Group,
 
and
 
the
 
Committee
 
was
 
comfortable
that
 
this
 
is
 
commensurate
 
with
 
performance
 
delivered.
 
This
 
share
 
based
 
award
 
ensures
 
alignment
 
with
 
future
 
performance
 
over
 
the
 
three-year
assessment
 
period,
 
as
 
well
 
as,
 
shareholder
 
alignment
 
over
 
the
 
long
 
release
 
period
 
(up
 
to
 
eight
 
years
 
from
 
initial
 
award).
The
 
objective
 
of
 
the
 
LTIP
 
is
 
to
 
incentivise
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
to
 
deliver
 
on
 
the
 
long-term
 
strategy,
 
without
 
encouraging
 
excessive
 
risk-
taking.
 
In
 
its
 
deliberations
 
on
 
the
 
appropriate
 
financial
 
performance
 
measures
 
for
 
the
 
2021-2023
 
LTIP
 
cycle,
 
the
 
Committee
 
reflected
 
on
 
the
significant
 
remaining
 
macroeconomic
 
uncertainty.
 
Given
 
the
 
challenges
 
that
 
such
 
uncertainty
 
introduces
 
to
 
the
 
calibration
 
of
 
absolute
 
financial
targets,
 
the
 
Committee
 
decided
 
to
 
introduce
 
a
 
relative
 
performance
 
measure,
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
25%
 
relative
 
Total
 
Shareholder
 
Return.
 
The
weighting
 
of
 
the
 
RoTE
 
measure
 
will
 
be
 
correspondingly
 
reduced
 
to
 
25%
 
(from
 
50%
 
in
 
the
 
previous
 
cycle)
 
to
 
retain
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
50%
 
on
 
returns-type
measures.
 
It
 
will
 
be
 
tested
 
in
 
2023,
 
the
 
final
 
year
 
of
 
the
 
performance
 
period,
 
to
 
help
 
in
 
determining
 
how
 
effectively
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
navigate
 
the
 
financial
 
recovery
 
and
 
steer
 
Barclays
 
back
 
towards
 
our
 
targets
 
over
 
the
 
medium
 
term.
An
 
additional
 
challenge
 
arising
 
from
 
such
 
uncertainty
 
going
 
into
 
2021
 
and
 
beyond
 
will
 
be
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
remains
 
appropriately
focused
 
on
 
prudential
 
stability
 
and
 
balance
 
sheet
 
strength,
 
while
 
continuing
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
support
 
our
 
customers
 
and
 
clients,
 
and
 
the
 
economies
in
 
which
 
we
 
operate.
 
Given
 
this
 
focus,
 
the
 
Committee
 
decided
 
to
 
introduce
 
a
 
standalone
 
CET1
 
measure
 
for
 
10%
 
of
 
the
 
award.
 
CIR
 
is
 
also
maintained
 
as
 
an
 
average
 
measure
 
over
 
the
 
performance
 
period,
 
with
 
its
 
weighting
 
slightly
 
reduced
 
to
 
10%.
As
 
noted
 
above,
 
the
 
unique
 
societal
 
and
 
resulting
 
macroeconomic
 
circumstances
 
have
 
created
 
significant
 
challenges
 
in
 
calibrating
 
absolute
longer-term
 
plan
 
targets.
 
Given
 
the
 
inherent
 
uncertainty,
 
and
 
the
 
desire
 
to
 
avoid
 
setting
 
targets
 
that
 
in
 
retrospect
 
turn
 
out
 
to
 
be
 
much
 
more
challenging
 
or
 
simpler
 
than
 
intended,
 
the
 
Committee
 
wanted
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
performance
 
targets
 
for
 
RoTE
 
and
 
CIR
 
appropriately
 
reflect
 
the
full
 
range
 
of
 
potential
 
outcomes
 
around
 
the
 
current
 
forecasts
 
(acknowledging
 
that
 
the
 
various
 
potential
 
macroeconomic
 
risks
 
and
 
opportunities
are
 
largely
 
outside
 
the
 
direct
 
control
 
of
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors).
 
This
 
will
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
LTIP
 
has
 
the
 
desired
 
effect
 
of
 
continuing
 
to
 
motivate
and
 
retain
 
the
 
executives
 
throughout
 
the
 
performance
 
period,
 
whilst
 
still
 
requiring
 
a
 
very
 
strong
 
performance
 
for
 
full
 
vesting.
 
Given
 
this
 
basis
 
for
the
 
calibration
 
of
 
the
 
ranges,
 
the
 
vesting
 
proportion
 
for
 
attaining
 
threshold
 
performance
 
has
 
been
 
correspondingly
 
reduced
 
from
 
the
 
previous
20%
 
to
 
0%.
 
This
 
does
 
not
 
impact
 
the
 
TSR
 
or
 
CET1
 
measures.
 
The
 
Committee
 
retains
 
ultimate
 
discretion
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
the
 
outcomes
 
are
appropriate
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
all
 
relevant
 
factors
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
performance
 
period.
The
 
Committee
 
also
 
considered
 
how
 
our
 
ambition
 
to
 
be
 
net
 
zero
 
by
 
2050
 
should
 
be
 
reflected
 
in
 
pay
 
for
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors.
 
The
 
decision
was
 
to
 
include
 
a
 
standalone
 
Climate
 
measure
 
within
 
the
 
LTIP,
 
providing
 
clear
 
alignment
 
between
 
the
 
LTIP
 
outcome,
 
up
 
to
 
a
 
maximum
 
of
 
10%,
and
 
progress
 
towards
 
our
 
targets
 
which
 
will
 
help
 
us
 
to
 
become
 
net
 
zero
 
by
 
2050.
 
To
 
accommodate
 
the
 
addition
 
of
 
the
 
Climate
 
measure,
 
the
weighting
 
for
 
the
 
Risk
 
Scorecard
 
and
 
Strategic
 
non-financial
 
measures
 
(excluding
 
Climate)
 
will
 
be
 
reduced
 
to
 
10%
 
each.
Performance
 
against
 
the
 
Risk
 
Scorecard
 
has
 
improved
 
over
 
the
 
last
 
three
 
years,
 
giving
 
an
 
outcome
 
of
 
12%
 
out
 
of
 
15%
 
for
 
the
 
2018-2020
 
LTIP.
While
 
it
 
is
 
very
 
important
 
that
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
focus
 
on
 
maintaining
 
performance
 
in
 
this
 
area,
 
the
 
Committee
 
felt
 
comfortable
 
that
 
a
 
lower
weighting
 
could
 
be
 
applied.
The
 
2021-2023

‘Mid-point’
 
(i.e.

and
 
50%
 
of
 
the

and
 
‘Maximum’
 
(i.e.

benefits
 
and
 
the
 
maximum
 
variable
 
pay
 
that
 
may

For
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
these

on
 
an

The
 
pay
 
ratios
 
have
 
decreased
 
between
 
2019
 
and
 
2020,
 
largely
 
due
 
to
 
a
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
CEO
 
total
 
single
 
figure
 
of
 
remuneration,
 
although
employee
 
total
 
pay
 
has
 
also
 
increased
 
by
 
5%
 
at
 
the
 
LQ
 
and
 
median,
 
and
 
by
 
2%
 
at
 
the
 
UQ.
 
The
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
CEO
 
single
 
figure
 
of
 
remuneration
 
from
 
2019
 
to
 
2020
 
is
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
lower
 
outcomes
 
on
 
the
 
CEO’s
 
annual
 
bonus
 
and
 
LTIP
due
 
to
 
reduced
 
performance
 
against
 
financial
 
measures
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
decrease
 
in
 
Executive
 
Director
 
pension
contributions
 
which
 
were
 
reduced
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
new
 
DRP
 
in
 
May
 
2020.
 
The
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
reduced
 
financial
 
performance
 
on
 
pay
 
for
 
the
 
median
employee
 
is
 
minimal,
 
given
 
the
 
comparatively
 
higher
 
proportion
 
of
 
fixed
 
pay,
 
and
 
the
 
Company’s
 
approach
 
to
 
protecting
 
annual
 
incentives
outcomes
 
for
 
the
 
more
 
junior
 
colleagues,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
our
 
approach
 
to
 
fair
 
pay
 
and
 
to
 
reward
 
their
 
contributions
 
to
 
supporting
 
customers
 
and
clients
 
during

figures
 
are
 
calculated
 
using
 
the
 
single
 
total
 
figure
 
for

remuneration
 
table.
 
Their
 
increases
in
 
benefits
 
from
 
2019
 
to
 
2020
 
are
 
due
 
to
 
increased
 
costs
 
of
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
private
 
medical
 
cover,
 
life
 
assurance
 
and
 
income
 
protection.
 
Similarly,
 
for
 
the
 
UK
 
employees
 
and
 
employees
 
of
 
BPLC,
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
median
 
benefits
 
value
 
between
 
2019
 
and
 
2020
 
is
 
also
 
due
 
to
 
an
increase
 
in
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
private
 
medical
 
cover,
 
life
 
assurance
 
and
 
income
 
protection.
For
 
the
 
UK
 
employees,
 
in
 
addition
 
to
 
typical
 
salary
 
increases,
 
the
 
7%
 
increase
 
in
 
median
 
fixed
 
pay
 
also
 
reflects
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
UK
Reward
 
Strategy
 
changes
 
(effective
 
July
 
2019).
 
This
 
amended
 
how
 
pay
 
is
 
structured
 
for
 
c.19,500
 
employees
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
our
 
approach
 
to
 
fair
pay.
 
For
 
the
 
impacted
 
employees,
 
a
 
portion
 
of
 
previous
 
bonus
 
opportunity
 
was
 
transferred
 
into
 
fixed
 
pay,
 
ensuring
 
a
 
larger
 
proportion
 
of
 
their
overall
 
pay
 
package
 
is
 
fixed,
 
pensionable
 
and
 
is
 
not
 
impacted
 
by
 
business
 
performance.
 
These
 
increases
 
in
 
fixed
 
pay
 
and
 
reductions
 
in
 
bonus
opportunity
 
are
 
reflected
 
in
 
pay
 
for
 
the
 
second
 
half
 
of
 
2019
 
and
 
full
 
year
 
for
 
2020,
 
also
 
contributing
 
to
 
the
 
16%
 
decrease
 
in
 
median
 
bonus.
 
BPLC
 
only
 
employs
 
a
 
very
 
small
 
number
 
of
 
Head
 
Office
 
employees
 
(56
 
for
 
2020).
 
Between
 
2019
 
and
 
2020,
 
BPLC
 
experienced
 
significant
headcount
 
movement
 
with
 
around
 
half
 
the
 
2019
 
BPLC
 
employees,
 
predominantly
 
at
 
more
 
junior
 
levels,
 
moving
 
to
 
other
 
Legal
 
employing
 
entities
in
 
2020.
 
In
 
order
 
to
 
make
 
a
 
meaningful
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
comparison,
 
the
 
figures
 
are
 
therefore
 
based
 
on
 
all
 
individuals
 
employed
 
by
 
BPLC
 
in
 
both
years.
The
 
table
 
below
 
shows
 
the
 
percentage
 
change
 
in
 
fees
 
for
 
the

Non-Executive
 
Directors

As
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
2019
 
Directors’
 
Remuneration
 
Report,
 
all
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
other
 
than
 
the

received
 
an
 
increase
 
of
 
£10,000
 
to
their
 
basic
 
Board
 
fee
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2020
 
 
the
 
first
 
increase
 
to
 
this
 
fee
 
since
 
2011.
 
The
 
Chairman
 
receives
 
an
 
all-inclusive
 
fee
 
which
 
was
 
not
increased.
 
Fees
 
were
 
also
 
increased
 
by
 
£10,000
 
for
 
the
 
Chairs
 
of
 
the
 
Audit
 
and
 
Risk

(the
 
first

£5,000
 
for
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
(last
 
increased
 
in
 
2011).
 
Other
 
increases
 
relate
 
to
 
set
 
fees
 
for
 
additional
responsibilities
 
taken
 
on
 
by
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
in

culture,
 
values
 
and

Committee
 
Effectiveness
 
in
 
2020
 
The
 
2020
 
Committee
 
effectiveness
 
review
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Code.
 
This
 
internal
 
review
 
involved
 
completion
 
of
 
a
 
tailored
questionnaire
 
by
 
Committee
 
members
 
and
 
senior
 
management,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
approach
 
adopted
 
for
 
all
 
Board
 
Committees
 
in
 
2020.
 
The
 
review
is
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
Barclays
 
monitors
 
and
 
improves
 
Committee
 
performance
 
and
 
effectiveness,
 
maximising
 
strengths
 
and
highlighting
 
areas
 
for
 
further
 
development.
The
 
results
 
confirm
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
is
 
operating
 
effectively.
 
The
 
Committee
 
continues
 
to
 
be
 
well
 
constituted
 
and
 
provides
 
an
 
effective
 
level
of
 
challenge
 
and
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
areas
 
within
 
its
 
remit.
 
In
 
particular,
 
feedback
 
indicates
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
 
continued
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
during
 
the
 
year
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
notwithstanding
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
convene
 
remotely.
 
It
 
was
 
also
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
Committee
spends
 
time
 
on
 
key
 
judgement
 
areas,
 
which
 
was
 
of
 
particular
 
importance
 
during
 
2020.
 
Consideration
 
will
 
be
 
given
 
to
 
adding
 
an
 
additional
member
 
of
 
the
 
Committee,
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
Crawford
 
Gillies
 
stepping
 
down
 
as
 
Committee
 
Chair
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
February
 
2021.
 
The
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
Board,
 
Board
 
Committees
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
is
 
considered
 
effective,
 
with
 
continued
 
positive
engagement
 
and
 
dialogue
 
with
 
senior
 
management.
 
It
 
was
 
also
 
noted
 
that
 
the
 
natural
 
overlay
 
with
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
had
 
been
reflected
 
formally
 
in
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
Terms
 
of
 
Reference
 
during
 
the
 
year.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
a
 
request
 
to
 
provide
 
feedback
 
on
 
interaction
 
with
subsidiary
 
committees,
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
interaction
 
with
 
the
 
principal
 
subsidiary
 
remuneration
 
committees
 
was
 
also
 
considered
 
effective,
 
and
 
in
line
 
with
 
regulatory
 
requirements.

Advisers
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
The
 
Committee
 
appointed
 
PricewaterhouseCoopers
 
(PwC)
 
as
 
the
 
independent
 
adviser
 
in
 
October
 
2017.
 
The
 
Committee
 
considered
 
the
independence
 
and
 
objectivity
 
of
 
advice
 
provided
 
by
 
PwC
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
and
 
was
 
satisfied
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
independent
 
and
 
objective.
PwC
 
is
 
a
 
signatory
 
to
 
the

PwC
 
was
 
paid
 
£121,000
 
(excluding
 
VAT)
 
in
 
fees
 
for
 
their
 
advice
 
to
 
the
 
Committee
 
in
 
2020
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
(either
 
exclusively
or
 
along
 
with
 
other
 
employees
 
within
 
the
 
Committee’s
 
Terms
 
of
 
Reference).
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
advising
 
the
 
Committee,
 
PwC
 
provided
 
unrelated

to
 
provide
 
the
 
Committee
 
with
 
market
 
data
 
on
 
compensation
 
when
 
considering
incentive
 
levels
 
and
 
remuneration
 
packages.
 
WTW

In
 
the

The
 
strength
 
and
 
success
 
of
 
Barclays
 
is
 
in
 
our
 
people.
 
We
 
want
 
to
 
support
 
their
 
health
 
and
 
wellbeing,
 
enable
 
them
 
to
 
build
 
their

and

them
 
to
 
be

Supporting
 
our

Events
 
over
 
the
 
last
 
12
 
months
 
have
 
affected
 
all
 
our
 
lives,
 
and
 
the
 
disruption
 
has
 
been
 
significant.
 
Nevertheless,
 
we
 
have
 
continued
 
to
 
invest
 
in
our
 
colleagues
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
strengthen
 
our
 
business
 
and
 
protect
 
our
 
culture.
 
Our

extraordinary

and
thanks
 
to
 
them
 
so
 
has
 
Barclays.
As

our

Adapting
 
to
 
challenge
Throughout
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
colleagues
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
have
 
been
 
working
 
incredibly
 
hard
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
support
 
our
 
customers
 
and
clients.
 
Many
 
were
 
designated
 
as
 
frontline
 
or
 
critical
 
workers
 
in
 
the
 
countries
 
in
 
which
 
they
 
work.
 
70,000
 
colleagues
 
m
 
oved
 
to
 
remote
 
working.
At
 
all
 
times,
 
we
 
have
 
worked
 
tirelessly
 
to
 
prioritise
 
each
 
other’s
 
safety
 
and
 
wellbeing,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
to
 
taking
 
all
 
necessary
 
steps
 
to
 
slow
 
the
 
spread
of
 
the
 
virus.
We
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
a
 
set
 
of
 
global
 
principles
 
to
 
ensure
 
we
 
were
 
doing
 
as
 
much
 
as
 
possible
 
to
 
support
 
our
 
people.
 
This
 
included
 
instigation
 
of
 
new
working
 
patterns
 
and
 
technology.
 
We
 
also
 
helped
 
colleagues
 
cope
 
with
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
personal
 
challenges
 
the
 
pandemic
 
created,
 
including
offering
 
paid
 
leave
 
to
 
support
 
self-quarantine,
 
sickness
 
or
 
care
 
for
 
dependants,
 
financial
 
help
 
with
 
childcare
 
and
 
advice
 
made
 
available
 
to
 
help
protect
 
physical
 
and
 
mental
 
health.
 
Through
 
our
 
colleague
 
surveys,
 
we
 
have
 
also
 
regularly
 
checked
 
in
 
with
 
our
 
people
 
to
 
better
 
understand
 
the
impact
 
that
 
working
 
through
 
the
 
pandemic
 
has
 
had.
Barclays
 
continues
 
to
 
believe
 
that
 
people
 
working
 
together
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
physical
 
location
 
reinforces
 
our
 
culture
 
and
 
helps
 
with
 
collaboration
 
and
inspiration.
 
Where
 
possible,
 
and
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
local
 
government
 
guidance,
 
we
 
have
 
instigated
 
gradual
 
returns
 
to
 
the
 
office
 
in
 
certain
 
parts
 
of
 
the
business
 
and
 
in
 
certain
 
parts
 
of
 
the
 
world.
 
In
 
time,
 
with
 
the
 
safety
 
and
 
wellbeing
 
of
 
colleagues
 
as
 
our
 
first
 
priority,
 
we
 
envisage
 
more
 
people
 
will
return
 
to
 
on-site
 
working.
 
In
 
advance
 
of
 
this,
 
we
 
have
 
already
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
additional
 
measures
 
to
 
ensure
 
we
 
are
 
COVID-secure,
 
including
 
risk
assessments
 
at
 
our
 
sites
 
and
 
Return
 
to
 
Office
 
Crews
 
to
 
support
 
social
 
distancing
 
and
 
minimise
 
risks.
Over
 
the
 
last
 
12
 
months,
 
we
 
have
 
learnt
 
an
 
enormous
 
amount
 
about
 
the
 
benefits
 
and
 
challenges
 
of
 
working
 
more
 
flexibly.
 
Ultimately,
 
we
 
believe
this
 
will
 
inform
 
our
 
ambitions
 
for
 
future
 
ways
 
of
 
working.
Hiring
 
the
 
best
 
people
We
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
hiring
 
people
 
with
 
skills
 
that
 
help
 
us
 
accelerate
 
our
 
digital
 
transformation,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
fast-changing
 
needs
 
of
 
our
customers
 
and
 
clients.

Annual
 
Report

Form
 
20-F
We
 
are
 
investing
 
in
 
our
 
key
 
sites,
 
including
 
our
 
global
 
campuses,
 
strategically
 
placed
in
 
both
 
urban
 
and
 
rural
 
areas.
 
At
 
the
 
heart
 
of
 
our
 
hiring
 
strategy
 
is
 
our
 
ability
 
to
 
match
locations
 
to
 
the
 
local
 
talent
 
pool
 
in
 
that
 
area.
 
This
 
includes
 
reaching
 
out
 
to
 
local
communities
 
and
 
upskilling
 
local
 
students.
 
We
 
are
 
acting
 
swiftly
 
to
 
adapt
 
to
 
changes
in
 
hiring
 
demands
 
and
 
volumes
 
because
 
of
 
COVID-19,
 
particularly
 
in
 
customer-facing
areas
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
now,
 
more
 
than
 
ever,
 
key
 
that
 
we
 
are
 
providing
 
support.
We
 
retain
 
an
 
emphasis
 
on
 
hiring
 
from
 
within.
 
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
filled
 
around
 
36%
 
of
 
role
vacancies
 
internally
 
and
 
added
 
a
 
further
 
961
 
graduates
 
to
 
our
 
internal
 
pipeline
 
of
future
 
leaders.
 
This
 
was
 
one
 
of
 
our
 
most
 
gender
 
diverse
 
class
 
of
 
graduates
 
ever,
 
with
almost
 
40%
 
female.
 
COVID-19
 
has
 
meant
 
moving
 
all
 
candidates
 
to
 
a
 
virtual
experience,
 
including
 
for
 
over
 
2,500
 
graduates,
 
interns
 
and
 
apprentices.
 
To
 
ensure
individuals
 
feel
 
supported
 
and
 
connected
 
to
 
the
 
business,
 
we
 
have
 
appointed
 
talent
coaches
 
and
 
created
 
extra
 
opportunities
 
for
 
virtual
 
networking
 
and
 
collaboration
 
so
that
 
social
 
connections
 
are
 
formed.
 
We
 
also
 
continue
 
to
 
invest
 
in
 
our
 
flagship
 
career
development
 
programmes,
 
including
 
our
 
AFTER
 
programme
 
to
 
support
 
those
 
who
have
 
been
 
in
 
the
 
armed
 
forces.
People
 
with
 
different
 
perspectives
 
and
 
life
 
experiences
 
make
 
our
 
organisation
stronger.
 
We
 
are
 
committed
 
to
 
attracting,
 
developing
 
and
 
retaining
 
a
 
workforce
 
that
 
is
as
 
diverse
 
and
 
inclusive
 
as
 
possible.
 
We
 
are
 
an
 
equal
 
opportunities
 
employer
 
and
our
 
policies
 
require
 
us
 
to
 
give
 
full
 
and
 
fair
 
consideration
 
to
 
all
 
populations
 
based
 
on
their
 
competencies,
 
strengths
 
and
 
potential.
 
As
 
ever,
 
we
 
are
 
increasingly
 
relying
 
on
data
 
and
 
analytics
 
so
 
we
 
can
 
understand
 
how
 
to
 
improve
 
our
 
hiring
 
process.
We
 
also
 
know
 
the
 
importance
 
of
 
measuring
 
our
 
progress.
 
In
 
particular,
 
we
 
have
 
set
ourselves
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
targets
 
to
 
ensure
 
we
 
are
 
creating
 
a
 
more
 
gender
 
diverse
workforce.
 
Our
 
ambition
 
is
 
to
 
achieve
 
28%
 
female
 
Managing
 
Directors
 
and
 
Directors
by
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021.
 
Currently
 
26%
 
of
 
our
 
Managing
 
Directors
 
and
 
Directors
 
are
female,
 
and
 
29%
 
of
 
our
 
UK
 
Managing
 
Directors
 
and
 
Directors
 
are
 
female.
Developing
 
talent
 
for
 
the
 
future
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
all
 
development
 
content
 
went
 
virtual
 
in
 
2020,
 
and
 
we
invested
 
a
 
total
 
of
 
£23m
 
in
 
training.
 
We
 
launched
 
e-learning
 
programmes
 
to
 
help
people
 
working
 
from
 
home
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
online
 
training
to
 
provide
 
information
 
to
 
help
 
keep
 
everyone
 
safe.
 
Through
 
our
 
regular
 
Here
 
to
Listen
 
surveys,
 
we
 
have
 
listened
 
carefully
 
to
 
what
 
colleagues
 
have
 
told
 
us
 
about
 
the
realities
 
of
 
working
 
remotely,
 
and
 
tailored
 
our
 
training
 
and
 
support
 
materials
accordingly.
A
 
wide
 
range
 
of
 
development
 
opportunities
 
are
 
available
 
to
 
help
 
colleagues
 
build
their
 
careers,
 
delivered
 
through
 
our
 
digital
 
learning
 
platform,
 
Learning
 
Lab,
 
which
makes
 
development
 
more
 
available
 
than
 
ever.
 
We
 
also
 
continue
 
to
 
operate
 
our
 
two
flagship
 
leadership
 
development
 
programmes:
 
our
 
Enterprise
 
Leaders
 
Programme;
and
 
our
 
Strategic
 
Leaders
 
Programme,
 
driven
 
by
 
our
 
belief
 
that
 
quality
 
leadership
makes
 
a
 
difference
 
to
 
our
 
success.
 
We
 
track
 
the
 
progression
 
of
 
people
 
that
 
have
participated
 
in
 
these
 
programmes
 
to
 
see
 
how
 
effective
 
they
 
are.
We
 
have
 
invested
 
in
 
the
 
tools,
 
programmes
 
and
 
technology
 
needed

Creating
 
an
 
inclusive
 
and
 
supportive
 
culture
Creating
 
an
 
inclusive
 
and
 
supportive
 
culture
 
is
 
not
 
only
 
the
 
right
 
thing
 
to
 
do,
 
but
 
also
best
 
for
 
our
 
business.
 
It
 
creates
 
a
 
sense
 
of
 
belonging
 
and
 
value
 
and
 
enables
colleagues
 
to
 
perform
 
at
 
their
 
best.
 
We
 
focus
 
on
 
five
 
areas:
 
disability,
 
gender,
LGBT+,
 
multicultural,
 
and
 
multigenerational.
 
Each
 
area
 
is
 
embedded
 
in
 
the
 
business
through
 
colleague
 
networks
 
to
 
provide
 
support
 
and
 
advice,
 
create
 
development
opportunities
 
and
 
raise
 
awareness
 
of
 
issues
 
and
 
challenges.
 
Membership
 
of
 
our
colleague
 
diversity
 
networks
 
is
 
at
 
an
 
all-time
 
high,
 
with
 
over
 
23,000
 
colleagues
 
now
involved
 
in
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
of
 
our
 
diversity
 
networks.
 
This
 
also
 
influences
 
our
 
people
policies,
 
teaching
 
us
 
how
 
we
 
need
 
to
 
adapt
 
to
 
give
 
our
 
people
 
the
 
support
 
they
 
need
to
 
succeed.
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
increased
 
our
 
focus
 
on
 
embedding
 
a
 
culture
 
of
 
inclusion
 
and
encouraged
 
colleagues
 
to
 
become
 
allies
 
in
 
the
 
workplace.
 
Through
 
a
 
new
 
toolkit
 
we
supported
 
them
 
to
 
take
 
conscious,
 
positive
 
steps
 
to
 
make
 
everyone
 
feel
 
that
 
they
belong,
 
and
 
develop
 
empathy
 
towards
 
another
 
group’s
 
challenges
 
or
 
issues.
 
In
 
our
Your
 
View
 
survey,
 
84%
 
of
 
colleagues
 
told
 
us
 
they
 
believe
 
we
 
are
 
all
 
in
 
this
 
together
at
 
Barclays,
 
while
 
82%
 
say
 
they
 
believe
 
leaders
 
are
 
committed
 
to
 
building
 
a
 
diverse
workforce.
We
 
also
 
closely
 
track
 
the
 
ever-changing
 
composition
 
of
 
our
 
people
 
through
 
online
dashboards,
 
to
 
make
 
sure
 
that
 
our
 
senior
 
leaders
 
understand
 
the
 
diverse
 
makeup
and
 
needs
 
of
 
the
 
organisation
 
they
 
lead.
 
In
 
2020,
 
we
 
launched
 
our
 
Inclusion
 
Index,
which
 
is
 
one
 
way
 
we
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
measure
 
how
 
included
 
our
 
colleagues
 
feel.
 
It
has
 
enabled
 
us
 
to
 
use
 
data
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
our
 
initiatives
 
and
 
lay
 
a
benchmark
 
for
 
monitoring
 
progress
 
year
 
on
 
year.
 
Our
 
overall
 
Inclusion
 
Index
 
score
for
 
2020
 
is
 
76%,
 
while
 
89%
 
of
 
colleagues
 
say
 
they
 
feel
 
included
 
in
 
their
 
team.
Events
 
last
 
year
 
rightly
 
prompted
 
organisations
 
like
 
ours
 
to
 
appraise
 
what
 
we
 
have
been
 
doing
 
to
 
aid
 
the
 
fight
 
against
 
racism,
 
and
 
to
 
ask
 
ourselves
 
whether
 
we
 
can
 
do
more.
 
Over
 
recent
 
months,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
worked
 
extensively
 
with
 
its
 
Black
 
colleague
forums
 
in
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
US
 
to
 
produce
 
a
 
Race
 
at
 
Work
 
Action
 
Plan.
 
The
 
plan
comprises
 
a
 
thorough
 
set
 
of
 
actions
 
that
 
will
 
open
 
up
 
new
 
opportunities
 
to
 
attract,
develop,
 
and
 
add
 
to
 
our
 
great
 
Black
 
talent,
 
using
 
data
 
to
 
measure
 
success.
 
From
2021,
 
we
 
will
 
expand
 
our
 
plan
 
to
 
include
 
all
 
ethnically
 
diverse
 
groups
 
as
 
well
 
as
actions
 
to
 
enhance
 
our
 
long-standing
 
support
 
for
 
citizenship
 
programmes
 
dedicated
to
 
tackling
 
racial
 
inequalities
 
in
 
communities,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
support
 
of
 
this
 
agenda
 
for
customers
 
and
 
clients.
We
 
want
 
to
 
become
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
most
 
accessible
 
and
 
inclusive
 
FTSE
 
companies
 
for
all
 
our
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
colleagues.
 
We
 
require
 
managers
 
to
 
give
 
full
 
and
 
fair
consideration
 
to
 
those
 
with
 
a
 
disability
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
strengths,
 
potential
 
and
 
ability,
 
both
 
when
 
hiring
 
and
 
managing.
 
We
 
also
 
ensure
opportunities
 
for
 
training,
 
career
 
development
 
and
 
promotion
 
are
 
available
 
to
 
all.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
Government
 
Disability
 
Confident
 
scheme,
 
we
encourage
 
applications
 
from
 
people
 
with
 
a
 
disability,
 
or
 
a
 
physical
 
or
 
mental
 
health
 
condition.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
feedback
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2019,
 
we
undertook
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
workplace
 
adjustment
 
processes
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
improve
 
our
 
colleagues’
 
experience.
Through
 
our
 
BeWell
 
programme,
 
we
 
continue
 
to
 
provide
 
expert
 
advice
 
and
 
guidance
 
on
 
the
 
practical
 
steps
 
colleagues
 
can
 
take
 
to
 
look
 
after
their
 
physical
 
and
 
mental
 
health.
 
In
 
2020,
 
our
 
Mental
 
Health
 
Awareness
 
e-learning
 
became
 
mandatory,
 
and
 
we
 
regularly
 
check
 
in
 
with
managers
 
to
 
ensure
 
they
 
are
 
supporting
 
colleagues’
 
wellbeing.
 
We
 
were
 
also
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
first
 
businesses
 
to
 
sign
 
up
 
to
 
the
 
Mental
 
Health
 
at
 
Work
Commitment.
 
In
 
our
 
Your
 
View
 
survey,
 
83%
 
of
 
colleagues
 
told
 
us
 
that
 
Barclays
 
supports
 
their
 
efforts
 
to
 
enhance
 
their
 
wellbeing.
Note
Under
 
the

and
 
the

A

We

colleague
 
engagement
 
should
 
be
 
a
 
two-way
 
exercise,
 
with
 
equal
 
weight
placed
 
on
 
listening
 
to
 
our
 
people
 
as
 
it
 
is
 
on
 
keeping
 
them
 
informed.
 
We
 
want
 
to
 
be
able
 
to
 
consider
 
our
 
colleagues’
 
perspective
 
when
 
we
 
make
 
decisions,
 
including
 
at
the
 
most
 
senior
 
level.
Our
 
regular
 
Here

and
 
Your
 
View
 
surveys
 
are
 
a
 
key
 
part
 
of
 
how
 
we
 
track
engagement.
 
In
 
2020,
 
in
 
part
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
challenge
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic,
 
we
 
improved
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
and
 
regularity
 
of
 
how
 
we
 
do
 
this.
We
 
saw
 
a
 
5
 
percentage
 
point
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
response
 
rate
 
to
 
our
 
annual
 
Your
 
View
employee
 
engagement
 
survey
 
with
 
67%
 
of
 
colleagues
 
responding.
 
The
 
results
showed
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
our
 
engagement
 
levels,
 
up
 
6
 
percentage
 
points,
 
to
 
83%,
 
and
an
 
increase
 
of
 
7
 
percentage
 
points,
 
to
 
87%,
 
of
 
colleagues
 
saying
 
they
 
would
recommend
 
Barclays
 
as
 
a
 
good
 
place
 
to
 
work.
 
We
 
were
 
also
 
very
 
pleased
 
to
 
see
 
that
our
 
colleagues
 
have
 
continued
 
their
 
focus
 
on
 
customer
 
and
 
client
 
feedback,
 
with
 
81%
responding
 
favourably
 
to
 
this
 
question.
 
In
 
addition,
 
94%
 
of
 
respondents
 
said
 
they
believe
 
they
 
and
 
their
 
teams
 
do
 
a
 
good
 
job
 
of
 
role
 
modelling
 
the
 
Values
 
every
 
day,
 
an
increase
 
of
 
2
 
percentage
 
points.
Overall,
 
we
 
are
 
encouraged
 
by
 
our
 
ability
 
to
 
work
 
remotely
 
in
 
many
 
more
 
roles
 
than
we
 
had
 
previously
 
thought
 
possible.
 
Our
 
colleagues
 
told
 
us
 
that
 
they
 
enjoyed
 
having
more
 
flexibility
 
in
 
their
 
lives,
 
with
 
78%
 
saying
 
they
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
balance
 
personal
and
 
work
 
demands,
 
and
 
76%
 
saying
 
there
 
is
 
effective
 
collaboration
 
between
 
teams.
With
 
that
 
said,
 
we
 
recognise
 
there
 
are
 
also
 
areas
 
where
 
we
 
need
 
to
 
do
 
more.
 
We
 
saw
a
 
1

to
 
78%
 
this

in
 
the
 
number
 
of

who
 
feel
 
it

safe

up,
 
while

also
 
indicates
 
we

We
 
maintain
 
an

approach
 
that
 
is
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
UK’s
 
Financial
Reporting
 
Council
 
(FRC)
 
governance
 
requirements.
 
This
 
extends
 
to
 
those
 
who
 
work
for
 
us
 
indirectly
 
as
 
well,
 
such
 
as
 
contractors,
 
although
 
in
 
a
 
more
 
limited
 
way.
 
As
 
of
2020,
 
our
 
supplier
 
Code
 
of
 
Conduct
 
requires
 
organisations
 
with
 
more
 
than
 
250
employees
 
to
 
demonstrate
 
that
 
they
 
have
 
an
 
effective
 
workforce
 
engagement
approach
 
of
 
their
 
own.
The
 
results
 
from
 
our
 
surveys
 
are
 
an
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
conversations
 
our
 
Executive
Committee
 
and
 
Board
 
have
 
about
 
our
 
culture
 
and
 
how
 
we
 
run
 
Barclays.
 
We
 
also
update
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
its
 
relevant
 
sub-committees
 
throughout
 
the
 
year.
We
 
monitor
 
our
 
culture
 
across
 
the
 
organisation,
 
and
 
in
 
individual
 
business
 
areas,
through
 
culture
 
dashboards.
 
These
 
combine
 
colleague
 
survey
 
data
 
with
 
other
 
metrics
about
 
our
 
business,
 
so
 
leadership
 
can
 
identify
 
areas
 
of
 
continued
 
strength
 
of
 
our
culture
 
and
 
areas
 
of
 
focus
 
for
 
leaders.
In
 
addition
 
to
 
these
 
data
 
sources,
 
our
 
leaders
 
engage
 
regularly
 
with
 
colleagues
locally
 
to
 
hear
 
what
 
they
 
think.
 
Where
 
possible
 
this
 
year,
 
leaders
 
visited
 
branches
 
or
trading
 
floors
 
to
 
support
 
colleagues
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
However,
 
the
majority
 
of
 
engagement
 
activities
 
moved
 
to
 
virtual
 
forums,
 
with
 
opportunities
 
for
 
face-

engagement
 
being
 
more
 
limited
 
due
 
to
 
social

including

take
 
the
 
issues
 
of
 
interest
 
to
 
our
 
colleagues
 
into
account
 
in
 
their
 
decision-making.
 
This
 
has
 
enabled
 
them
 
to
 
confirm
 
that
 
our

engagement
 
approach
 
is
 
effective.
We
 
make
 
sure
 
we
 
are
 
keeping
 
everyone
 
up
 
to
 
date
 
on
 
the
 
strategy,
 
performance
 
and
progress
 
of
 
the
 
organisation
 
through
 
a
 
strategic,
 
multichannel
 
approach.
 
This
combines
 
leader-led
 
engagement,
 
digital
 
and
 
print
 
communication,
 
blogs,
 
vlogs
 
and
podcasts.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
this
 
year
 
we
 
also
 
provided
additional
 
regular
 
updates
 
to
 
colleagues
 
to
 
provide
 
practical
 
advice
 
and
 
support,
including
 
via
 
a
 
dedicated
 
COVID-19
 
intranet
 
page.
We
 
also
 
engage
 
with
 
our
 
people
 
collectively
 
through
 
a
 
strong
 
and
 
effective
partnership
 
with
 
Unite,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
European
 
Forum,
 
which
represents
 
all
 
colleagues
 
within
 
the
 
European
 
Union,
 
and
 
other
 
colleague
 
forums.
 
In
2020
 
we
 
worked
 
together
 
closely
 
with
 
the
 
specific
 
goal
 
of
 
ensuring
 
the
 
safety
 
and
wellbeing
 
of
 
our
 
colleagues
 
throughout
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
Unite
 
strongly
supported
 
the
 
transition
 
of
 
many
 
colleagues
 
to
 
homeworking,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
introduction
 
of
 
measures
 
to
 
protect
 
colleagues
 
working
 
in
 
our
 
branches
 
and
 
offices.
As
 
we
 
progress
 
to
 
return
 
more
 
colleagues
 
to
 
work,
 
our
 
union
 
partners
 
remain
centrally
 
involved.
We
 
regularly
 
brief
 
our
 
union
 
partners
 
on
 
the
 
strategy
 
and
 
progress
 
of
 
the
 
business,
seeking
 
their
 
input
 
on
 
ways
 
in
 
which
 
we
 
can
 
improve
 
the
 
colleague
 
experience
 
of
working
 
for
 
Barclays.
 
The

bargaining
 
coverage
 
of
 
Unite
 
in
 
the

around
 
84%
 
of
 
our

and
 
50%
 
of
 
our

We
consult
 
in
 
detail
 
with
 
colleague
 
representatives
 
on
 
major
 
change
 
programmes
affecting
 
our
 
people.
 
We
 
do
 
this
 
to
 
help
 
us
 
minimise
 
compulsory
 
job
 
losses
 
wherever
possible,
 
including
 
through
 
voluntary

and

Barclays’
 
risk
 
management
 
strategy
This
 
section
 
introduces
 
the
 
Group’s
 
approach
 
to
 
managing
 
and
 
identifying
 
risks,
 
and
 
for
 
fostering
 
a
 
strong
 
risk
 
culture.
Enterprise
 
Risk
 
Management
 
Framework
 
(ERMF)
The
 
ERMF
 
sets
 
the
 
strategic
 
approach
 
for
 
risk
 
management
 
by
 
defining
 
standards,
 
objectives
 
and
 
responsibilities
 
for
 
all
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
It
 
is
then
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board
 
on
 
recommendation
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
Chief
 
Risk
 
Officer.
 
It
 
supports
 
senior
 
management
 
in
 
effective
 
risk
management
 
and
 
developing
 
a
 
strong
 
risk
 
culture.

in
 
our

management:
 
The

sets
 
out
 
the
 
accountabilities
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
CEO
 
and
 
other
 
senior
 
managers,
 
as
 
well
as
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
committees.
The
 
ERMF
 
is
 
complemented
 
by
 
frameworks,
 
policies
 
and
 
standards
 
which
 
are
 
mainly
 
aligned
 
to
 
individual

risks:
 
Frameworks
 
cover
 
the
 
management
 
approach
 
for
 
a
 
collection
 
of
 
related
 
activities
 
and
 
define
 
the
 
associated
 
policies
 
used
 
to
 
govern
 
them.
 
Policies

core
 
requirements
 
for
 
the
 
activities
 
of

them
out.

Segregation
 
of
 
duties
 
-
 
the
 
"Three
 
Lines
 
of
 
Defence"
 
model
The
 
ERMF
 
sets
 
out
 
a
 
clear
 
lines
 
of
 
defence
 
model.
 
All
 
colleagues
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
understanding
 
and
 
managing
 
risks
 
within
 
the
 
context
 
of
their
 
individual
 
roles
 
and
 
responsibilities,
 
as
 
set
 
out
 
below:
 
First
 
line
 
comprises
 
all
 
employees
 
engaged
 
in
 
the
 
revenue
 
generating
 
and
 
client
 
facing
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
all
 
associated
 
support
functions,
 
including
 
Finance,
 
Treasury,
 
and
 
Human
 
Resources.
 
The
 
first
 
line
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
identifying
 
and
 
managing
 
the
 
risks
 
they
generate,
 
establishing
 
a
 
control
 
framework,
 
and
 
escalating
 
risk
 
events
 
to
 
Risk
 
and
 
Compliance.
 
Second
 
line
 
is
 
comprised
 
of
 
the
 
Risk
 
and
 
Compliance
 
functions.
 
The
 
role
 
of
 
the
 
second
 
line
 
is
 
to
 
establish
 
the
 
limits,
 
rules
 
and
 
constraints
under
 
which
 
first
 
line
 
activities
 
shall
 
be
 
performed,
 
consistent
 
with
 
the
 
risk
 
appetite
 
of
 
the
 
Group,
 
and
 
to
 
monitor
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
first
line
 
against
 
these
 
limits
 
and
 
constraints.
 
Note
 
that
 
limits
 
for
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
first
 
line
 
activities,
 
related
 
to
 
operational
 
risk,
 
will
 
be
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
first
line
 
and
 
overseen
 
by
 
the
 
Chief
 
Controls
 
Office.
 
These
 
will
 
remain
 
subject
 
to
 
supervision
 
by
 
the
 
second
 
line.
 
Third
 
line
 
of
 
defence
 
is
 
Internal
 
Audit,
 
who
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
providing
 
independent
 
assurance
 
over
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
governance,
 
risk
management
 
and
 
control
 
over
 
current,
 
systemic
 
and
 
evolving
 
risks.
 
The
 
Legal
 
function
 
provides
 
support
 
to
 
all
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
bank
 
and
 
is
 
not
 
formally
 
part
 
of
 
any
 
of
 
the
 
three
 
lines.
 
However,
 
it
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
second
line
 
oversight.
Principal
 
risks
The
 
ERMF
 
identifies
 
eight
 
principal
 
risks
 
and
 
sets
 
out
 
associated
 
responsibilities
 
and
 
expectations
 
around
 
risk
 
management
 
standards.
 
The
principal
 
risks
 
are:
 
credit
 
risk,
 
market
 
risk,
 
treasury
 
and
 
capital
 
risk,
 
operational
 
risk,
 
model
 
risk,
 
conduct
 
risk,
 
reputation
 
risk
 
and
 
legal
 
risk.
 
Each
 
of
 
the
 
principal
 
risks
 
is
 
overseen
 
by
 
an
 
accountable
 
executive
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
who
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
the
 
framework,
 
policies
 
and
standards
 
that
 
detail
 
the
 
related
 
requirements.
 
Risk
 
reports
 
to
 
executive
 
and
 
Board
 
committees
 
are
 
clearly
 
organised
 
by
 
principal
 
risk.
 
In
addition,
 
certain
 
risks
 
span
 
more
 
than
 
one
 
principal
 
risk;
 
these
 
are
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
ERMF
 
and
 
are
 
reported
 
to
 
executive
 
and
 
Board
committees.
Risk
 
appetite
 
for
 
the
 
principal
 
risks
Risk
 
appetite
 
is
 
defined
 
as
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
risk
 
which
 
the
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
are
 
prepared
 
to
 
accept
 
in
 
the
 
conduct
 
of
 
their
 
activities.
 
It
 
provides
 
a
basis
 
for
 
ongoing
 
dialogue
 
between
 
management
 
and
 
Board
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
current
 
and
 
evolving
 
risk
 
profile,
 
allowing
 
strategic
 
and
financial
 
decisions
 
to
 
be
 
made
 
on
 
an
 
informed
 
basis.
Risk
 
appetite
 
is
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board
 
and
 
disseminated
 
across
 
legal
 
entities.
 
Total
 
Group
 
risk
 
appetite
 
is
 
supported
 
by
 
limits
 
to
control
 
exposures
 
and
 
activities
 
that
 
have
 
material
 
concentration
 
risk
 
implications.

Risks
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
COVID-19
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
had,
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
have,
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
businesses
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
and
 
the
 
economic
 
environments
 
in
which
 
they
 
operate.
 
There
 
are
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
pandemic
 
and
 
its
 
impact
 
on
 
global
 
economies
 
that
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
(among
 
other
 
things)
 
the
 
profitability,
 
capital
 
and
 
liquidity
 
of
 
financial
 
institutions
 
such
 
as
 
Barclays.
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
caused
 
disruption
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
suppliers
 
and
 
staff
 
globally.
 
Most
 
jurisdictions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
operates
 
have
 
implemented
 
severe
 
restrictions
 
on
 
the
 
movement
 
of
 
their
 
respective
 
populations,
 
with
 
a
 
resultant
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
economic
activity
 
in
 
those
 
jurisdictions.
 
These
 
restrictions
 
are
 
being
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
governments
 
of
 
individual
 
jurisdictions
 
(including
 
through
 
the
implementation
 
of
 
emergency
 
powers)
 
and
 
impacts
 
(including
 
the
 
timing
 
of
 
implementation
 
and
 
any
 
subsequent
 
lifting
 
or
 
extension
 
of
restrictions)
 
may
 
vary
 
from
 
jurisdiction
 
to
 
jurisdiction
 
and/or
 
within
 
jurisdictions.
 
It
 
remains
 
unclear
 
how
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
will
 
evolve
through
 
2021
 
(including
 
whether
 
there
 
will
 
be
 
further
 
waves
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
whether
 
COVID-19
 
vaccines
 
approved
 
for
 
use
 
by
regulatory
 
authorities
 
will
 
be
 
deployed
 
successfully
 
with
 
desired
 
results,
 
whether
 
further
 
new
 
strains
 
of
 
COVID-19
 
will
 
emerge
 
and
 
whether,
 
and
in
 
what
 
manner,
 
additional
 
restrictions
 
will
 
be
 
imposed
 
and/or
 
existing
 
restrictions
 
extended)
 
and
 
the
 
Group
 
continues
 
to
 
monitor
 
the
 
situation
closely.
 
However,
 
despite
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
contingency
 
plans
 
established
 
by
 
the
 
Group,
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
conduct
 
business
 
may
 
be
 
adversely
 
affected
by
 
disruptions
 
to
 
infrastructure,
 
business
 
processes
 
and
 
technology
 
services,
 
resulting
 
from
 
the
 
unavailability
 
of
 
staff
 
due
 
to
 
illness
 
or
 
the
 
failure
of
 
third
 
parties
 
to
 
supply
 
services.
 
This
 
may
 
cause
 
significant
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
costs
 
to
 
reimburse
 
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
potential
 
litigation
 
costs
 
(including
 
regulatory
 
fines,
 
penalties
 
and
 
other
 
sanctions),
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage.
 
In
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
jurisdictions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
operates,
 
schemes
 
have
 
been
 
initiated
 
by
 
central
 
banks,
 
national
 
governments
 
and
 
regulators
 
to
provide
 
financial
 
support
 
to
 
parts
 
of
 
the
 
economy
 
most
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
These
 
schemes
 
have
 
been
 
designed
 
and
implemented
 
at
 
pace,
 
meaning
 
lenders
 
(including
 
Barclays)
 
continue
 
to
 
address
 
operational
 
issues
 
which
 
have
 
arisen
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
the
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
schemes,
 
including
 
resolving
 
the
 
interaction
 
between
 
the
 
schemes
 
and
 
existing
 
law
 
and
 
regulation.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
full
extent
 
of
 
how
 
these
 
schemes
 
will
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers
 
and
 
therefore
 
the
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group
 
remains
 
uncertain
 
at
 
this
 
stage.
However,
 
certain
 
actions
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
introduction
 
of
 
payment
 
holidays
 
for
 
various
 
consumer
 
lending
 
products
 
or
 
the
 
cancellation
 
or
 
waiver
 
of
fees
 
associated
 
with
 
certain
 
products)
 
may
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate
 
earned
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
portfolios
 
and
 
may
 
reduce
 
fee
income
 
being
 
earned
 
on
 
certain
 
products
 
and
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
profitability.
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
introduction
 
of,
 
and
 
participation
 
in,
central-bank
 
supported
 
loan
 
and
 
other
 
financing
 
schemes
 
introduced
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
may
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
RWAs,
 
level
 
of
 
impairment
 
and,
 
in
 
turn,
 
capital
 
position
 
(particularly
 
when
 
any
 
transitional
 
relief
 
applied
 
to
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
RWAs
 
and
impairment
 
expires).
 
This
 
may
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
if
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
required
 
by
 
any
 
government
 
or
 
regulator
 
to
 
offer
 
forbearance
 
or
 
additional
financial
 
relief
 
to
 
borrowers
 
or
 
if
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
unable
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
guarantees
 
provided
 
by
 
governments
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
financial
 
support
schemes
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
failure
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
scheme
 
requirements
 
or
 
otherwise.
As
 
these
 
schemes
 
and
 
other
 
financial
 
support
 
schemes
 
provided
 
by
 
national
 
governments
 
(such
 
as
 
job
 
retention
 
and
 
furlough
 
schemes)
 
expire,
are
 
withdrawn
 
or
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
supported,
 
economic
 
growth
 
may
 
be
 
negatively
 
impacted
 
which
 
may
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
results
 
of
 
operations
and
 
profitability.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
experience
 
a
 
higher
 
volume
 
of
 
defaults
 
and
 
delinquencies
 
in
 
certain
 
portfolios
 
and
 
may
 
initiate
collection
 
and
 
enforcement
 
actions
 
to
 
recover
 
defaulted
 
debts.
 
Where
 
defaulting
 
borrowers
 
are
 
harmed
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
conduct,
 
this
 
may
 
give
rise
 
to
 
civil
 
legal
 
proceedings,
 
including
 
class
 
actions,
 
regulatory
 
censure,
 
potentially
 
significant
 
fines
 
and
 
other
 
sanctions,
 
and
 
reputational
damage.
 
Other
 
legal
 
disputes
 
may
 
also
 
arise
 
between
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
defaulting
 
borrowers
 
relating
 
to
 
matters
 
such
 
as
 
breaches
 
or
 
enforcement
of
 
legal
 
rights
 
or
 
obligations
 
arising
 
under
 
loan
 
and
 
other
 
credit
 
agreements.
 
Adverse
 
findings
 
in
 
any
 
such
 
matters
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
rights
 
not
 
being
 
enforced
 
as
 
intended.

matters”
 
below.
The
 
actions
 
taken
 
by
 
various
 
governments
 
and
 
central
 
banks,
 
in
 
particular
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
Kingdom
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States,
 
may
 
indicate
 
a
 
view
 
on
the
 
potential
 
severity
 
of
 
any
 
economic
 
downturn
 
and
 
post
 
recovery
 
environment,
 
which
 
from
 
a
 
commercial,
 
regulatory
 
and
 
risk
 
perspective
 
could
be
 
significantly
 
different
 
to
 
past
 
crises
 
and
 
persist
 
for
 
a
 
prolonged
 
period.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
led
 
to
 
a
 
weakening
 
in
 
gross
 
domestic
product
 
(GDP)
 
in
 
most
 
jurisdictions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
operates
 
and
 
an
 
expectation
 
of
 
higher
 
unemployment
 
in
 
those
 
same
 
jurisdictions.
 
These
factors
 
all
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
modelling
 
of
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses
 
(ECLs)
 
by
 
the
 
Group.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
Group
 
experienced
 
higher
ECLs
 
in
 
2020
 
compared
 
to
 
prior
 
periods
 
and
 
this
 
trend
 
may
 
continue
 
in
 
2021.
 
The
 
economic
 
environment
 
remains
 
uncertain
 
and
 
future
impairment
 
charges
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
further
 
volatility
 
(including
 
from
 
changes
 
to
 
macroeconomic
 
variable
 
forecasts)
 
depending
 
on
 
the
longevity
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
and
 
related
 
containment
 
measures
 
and
 
the
 
efficacy
 
of
 
any
 
COVID-19
 
vaccines,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
longer
 
term
effectiveness
 
of
 
central
 
bank,
 
government
 
and
 
other
 
support
 
measures.
 
For
 
further
 
details
 
on
 
macroeconomic
 
variables
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
calculation
of
 
ECLs,
 
refer
 
to
 
the
 
credit
 
risk
 
performance
 
section.
 
In
 
addition,
 
ECLs
 
may
 
be
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
increased
 
levels
 
of
 
default
 
for
 
single
 
name
exposures
 
in
 
certain
 
sectors
 
directly
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
oil
 
and
 
gas,
 
retail,
 
airline,
 
and
 
hospitality
 
and
 
leisure
sectors).
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
Group
 
relies
 
on
 
models
 
to
 
support
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
business
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
activities,
 
including
 
informing
 
business
decisions
 
and
 
strategies,
 
measuring
 
and
 
limiting
 
risk,
 
valuing
 
exposures
 
(including
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
impairment),
 
conducting
 
stress
 
testing
 
and
assessing
 
capital
 
adequacy.
 
Models
 
are,
 
by
 
their
 
nature,
 
imperfect
 
and
 
incomplete
 
representations
 
of
 
reality
 
because
 
they
 
rely
 
on
 
assumptions
and
 
inputs,
 
and
 
so
 
they
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
errors
 
affecting
 
the
 
accuracy
 
of
 
their
 
outputs
 
and/or
 
misused.
 
This
 
may
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
when
 
dealing
with
 
unprecedented
 
scenarios,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
lack
 
of
 
reliable
 
historical
 
reference
 
points
 
and
 
data.

may
 
lead
 
to
 
(among

which
 
in

In

ability
 
to
 
borrow
from
 
other
 
financial

may
 
be
 
affected
 
by

impact
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
recovery
 
has
 
been
 
slower
 
than
anticipated
 
and
 
concerns
 
remain
 
as
 
to
 
whether
 
(a)
 
there
 
will
 
be
 
subsequent
 
waves
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
(b)
 
further
 
financial
 
stimulus
will
 
be
 
required
 
and/or
 
(c)
 
governments
 
will
 
be
 
required
 
to
 
significantly
 
increase
 
taxation
 
to
 
fund
 
these
 
commitments.
 
All
 
of
 
these
 
factors
 
could
adversely
 
affect
 
economic
 
growth,
 
affect
 
specific
 
industries
 
or
 
countries
 
or
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
employees
 
and
 
business
 
operations
 
in
 
affected
countries.

Risks
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
COVID-19”
 
above
 
for

details.
 
In
 
the
 
UK,
 
the
 
decision
 
to
 
leave
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
(EU)
 
may
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
further
 
economic
 
and
 
political
 
consequences
 
including
 
for
investment
 
and
 
market
 
confidence
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
remainder
 
of
 
EU.

UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the

Union”
 
below
 
for
further
 
details.
 
A
 
significant
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
portfolio
 
is
 
located
 
in
 
the
 
US,
 
including
 
a
 
major
 
credit
 
card
 
portfolio
 
and
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
corporate
 
and
investment
 
banking
 
exposures.
 
The
 
possibility
 
of
 
significant
 
continued
 
changes
 
in
 
US
 
policy
 
in
 
certain
 
sectors
 
(including
 
trade,
 
healthcare
 
and
commodities)
 
may
 
have
 
an
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
associated
 
portfolios.
 
Stress
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
economy,
 
weakening
 
GDP
 
and
 
the
 
associated
exchange
 
rate
 
fluctuations,
 
heightened
 
trade
 
tensions
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
current
 
dispute
 
between
 
the
 
US
 
and
 
China),
 
an
 
unexpected
 
rise
 
in
unemployment
 
and/or
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
interest
 
rates
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
increased
 
levels
 
of
 
impairment,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
negative
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
profitability.
 
An
 
escalation
 
in
 
geopolitical
 
tensions
 
or
 
increased
 
use
 
of
 
protectionist
 
measures
 
may
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
in
 
the
 
affected
regions.
 
In
 
China
 
the
 
pace
 
of
 
credit
 
growth
 
remains
 
a
 
concern,
 
given
 
the
 
high
 
level
 
of
 
leverage
 
and
 
despite
 
government
 
and
 
regulatory
 
action.
 
A
stronger
 
than
 
expected
 
slowdown
 
could
 
result
 
if
 
authorities
 
fail
 
to
 
appropriately
 
manage
 
growth
 
during
 
the
 
transition
 
from
 
manufacturing
towards
 
services
 
and
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
investment
 
and
 
credit-led
 
boom.
 
Deterioration
 
in
 
emerging
 
markets
 
could
 
affect
 
the
 
Group
 
if
 
it
 
results
 
in
higher
 
impairment
 
charges
 
via
 
sovereign
 
or
 
counterparty
 
defaults.
iii)
 
The
 
UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the
 
European
 
Union
There
 
are
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the
 
EU,
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
Trade
 
and
 
economic
 
activity
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
The
 
EU-UK
 
Trade
 
and
 
Cooperation
 
Agreement
 
(TCA),
 
which
 
provides
 
a
 
new
 
economic
 
and
 
social
 
partnership
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
(including
 
zero
 
tariffs
 
and
 
zero
 
quotas
 
on
 
all
 
goods
 
that
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
appropriate
 
rules
 
of
 
origin)
 
came
 
into
 
force
 
provisionally
 
on
 
1
 
January
2021.
The
 
TCA
 
is
 
a
 
new,
 
unprecedented
 
arrangement
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK,
 
and
 
there
 
is
 
some
 
uncertainty
 
as
 
to
 
its
 
operation
 
and
 
the
 
manner
in
 
which
 
trading
 
arrangements
 
will
 
be
 
enforced
 
by
 
both
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK.
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
EU
 
and/or
 
the
 
UK
 
can
 
invoke
 
trade
 
remedies
(such
 
as
 
tariffs
 
and
 
non-tariff
 
barriers)
 
against
 
each
 
other
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances
 
under
 
the
 
TCA.
 
Resultant
 
trading
 
disruption
 
may
 
have
 
a
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
economic
 
activity
 
in
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
which
 
(in
 
turn)
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
 
Unstable
 
economic
 
conditions
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
(among
 
other
 
things):
 
a
 
recession
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and/or
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
member
 
states
 
of
 
the
 
EEA
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
operates,
 
with
 
lower
 
growth,
 
higher
 
unemployment
 
and
 
falling
property
 
prices,
 
which
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
increased
 
impairments
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
portfolios
 
(including,
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
 
its
 
UK
mortgage
 
portfolio,
 
unsecured
 
lending
 
portfolio
 
(including
 
credit
 
cards)
 
and
 
commercial
 
real
 
estate
 
exposures);
 
increased
 
market
 
volatility
 
(in
 
particular
 
in
 
currencies
 
and
 
interest
 
rates),
 
which
 
could
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
trading
 
book
 
positions
 
and
 
affect
 
the
underlying
 
value
 
of
 
assets
 
in
 
the
 
banking
 
book
 
and
 
securities
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
for
 
liquidity
 
purposes;
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
downgrade
 
for
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
(either
 
directly
 
or
 
indirectly
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
a
 
downgrade
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
sovereign
credit
 
ratings),
 
which
 
could
 
significantly
 
increase
 
the
 
Group’s
 
cost
 
of
 
and/or
 
reduce
 
its
 
access
 
to
 
funding,
 
widen
 
credit
 
spreads
 
and
 
materially
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
interest
 
margins
 
and
 
liquidity
 
position;
 
and/or
 
a
 
widening
 
of
 
credit
 
spreads
 
more
 
generally
 
or
 
reduced
 
investor
 
appetite
 
for
 
the
 
Group’s
 
debt
 
securities,
 
which
 
could
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
Group’s
 
cost
 
of
 
and/or
 
access
 
to
 
funding.
Current
 
provision
 
of
 
financial
 
services
The
 
TCA
 
does
 
not
 
cover
 
financial
 
services
 
regulation.
 
Accordingly,
 
UK-based
 
entities
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
(such
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC)
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
able
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
the
 
European
 
passporting
 
framework
 
for
 
financial
 
services.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
Barclays
 
Capital
 
Securities
 
Limited
 
have
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
new
 
arrangements
 
in
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
cross-border
 
banking
 
and
 
investment
 
services
 
to
customers
 
and
 
counterparties
 
in
 
the
 
EEA
 
(including
 
by
 
servicing
 
EEA
 
clients
 
through
 
the
 
Group’s
 
EEA
 
hub
 
(Barclays

whilst
Barclays

UK
 
customers.

Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
The
 
TCA
 
was
 
accompanied
 
by
 
a
 
Joint
 
Declaration
 
on
 
Financial
 
Services,
 
requiring
 
the
 
parties
 
to
 
agree
 
a
 
Memorandum
 
of
 
Understanding
(MoU),
 
by
 
March
 
2021,
 
establishing
 
the
 
framework
 
for
 
cooperation
 
in
 
financial
 
services.
 
The
 
MoU
 
will
 
also
 
cover
 
how
 
to
 
move
 
forward
 
on
equivalence
 
determinations
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK.
 
There
 
can
 
be
 
no
 
assurance
 
that
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
will
 
reach
 
further
 
agreement
 
on
 
equivalence
 
decisions.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
equivalence
 
decisions
which
 
would
 
enable
 
UK
 
firms
 
to
 
access
 
EEA
 
clients
 
on
 
a
 
cross
 
border
 
basis
 
for
 
certain
 
markets
 
products,
 
cannot
 
be
 
relied
 
upon
 
to
 
allow
 
UK-
based
 
entities
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
meet
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
needs
 
of
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
based
 
in
 
the
 
EEA.
 
However,
 
there
 
are
 
certain
 
other
 
types
 
of
equivalence
 
decisions
 
which
 
are
 
material
 
to
 
the
 
operations
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
To
 
date,
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
have
 
only
 
agreed
 
a
 
temporary
 
position
 
on
mutual
 
equivalence
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
clearing
 
and
 
settlement
 
(CCP
 
equivalence).
 
If
 
the
 
current
 
mutual,
 
temporary
 
equivalence
 
decision
 
in
 
relation
 
to
CCP
 
equivalence
 
expires
 
and
 
is
 
not
 
replaced,
 
this
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
its
 
clients.
 
In
addition,
 
HM
 
Treasury
 
has
 
made
 
certain
 
unilateral
 
equivalence
 
decisions,
 
(including
 
under
 
the
 
Capital
 
Requirements
 
Regulation
 
(CRR)
 
and
 
the
removal
 
of
 
such
 
decisions
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
operations
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
Group
 
provides
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
its
 
cross-border
 
banking
 
and
 
investment
 
services
 
to
 
EEA
 
clients
 
via
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC.
 
Additionally,
in
 
certain
 
EEA
 
Member
 
States,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Capital
 
Securities
 
Limited
 
(BCSL)
 
have
 
applied
 
for
 
and
 
received
 
cross
 
border
licences
 
to
 
enable
 
them
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
conduct
 
a
 
limited
 
range
 
of
 
activities,
 
including
 
accessing
 
EEA
 
trading
 
venues
 
and
 
interdealer
 
trading.
 
As
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
onshoring
 
of
 
EU
 
legislation
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
exercise
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
regulators’
 
Temporary
 
Transitional
 
Powers,
 
UK-based
 
entities
within
 
the
 
Group
 
are
 
currently
 
subject
 
to
 
substantially
 
the
 
same
 
rules
 
and
 
regulations
 
as
 
prior
 
to
 
the
 
UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the
 
EU.
 
It
 
is
 
the
 
UK’s
intention
 
eventually
 
to
 
recast
 
onshored
 
EU
 
legislation
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
UK
 
legislation
 
and
 
PRA
 
and
 
FCA
 
rules,
 
which
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
changes
 
to
regulatory
 
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
UK.
If
 
the
 
regulatory
 
regimes
 
for
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
 
financial
 
services
 
change
 
further,
 
or
 
if
 
temporary
 
permissions
 
and
 
equivalence

replaced,
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
cross-border
 
banking
 
and
 
investment
 
services
 
across
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
become
 
more
 
complex
 
and
 
costly
 
which
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
and
 
results
 
of

could
 
result
 
in
 
the

modifying

or
 
not

areas
 
despite
 
otherwise
attractive
 
potential

This
 
may
 
also
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
if,
 
Barclays

iv)
 
The
 
impact
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
changes
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
profitability
Changes
 
to
 
interest
 
rates
 
are
 
significant
 
for
 
the
 
Group,
 
especially
 
given
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
direction
 
of
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
 
the
 
pace
 
at
 
which
they
 
may
 
change
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
main
 
markets
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
US.
 
A
 
continued
 
period
 
of
 
low
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
 
flat
 
yield
 
curves,
 
including
 
any
 
further
 
rate
 
cuts
 
and/or
 
negative
 
interest
 
rates,
 
may
 
affect
 
and
continue
 
to
 
put
 
pressure
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
net
 
interest
 
margins
 
(the
 
difference
 
between
 
its
 
lending
 
income
 
and
 
borrowing
 
costs)
 
and
 
could
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
profitability
 
and
 
prospects
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
Interest
 
rate
 
rises
 
could
 
positively
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
profitability
 
as
 
retail
 
and
 
corporate
 
business
 
income
 
increases
 
due
 
to
 
margin
 
de-
compression.
 
However,
 
further
 
increases
 
in
 
interest
 
rates,
 
if
 
larger
 
or
 
more
 
frequent
 
than
 
expected,
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
generally
 
weaker
 
than
expected
 
growth,
 
reduced
 
business
 
confidence
 
and
 
higher
 
unemployment.
 
This,
 
in
 
turn,
 
could
 
cause
 
stress
 
in
 
the
 
lending
 
portfolio
 
and
underwriting
 
activity
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
with
 
resultant
 
higher
 
credit
 
losses
 
driving
 
an
 
increased
 
impairment
 
charge
 
which
 
would
 
most
 
notably
 
impact
retail
 
unsecured
 
portfolios
 
and
 
wholesale
 
non-investment
 
grade
 
lending
 
and
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
In
 
addition,
 
changes
 
in
 
interest
 
rates
 
could
 
have
 
an
 
adverse
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
securities
 
held
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
liquid
 
asset
 
portfolio.
Consequently,
 
this
 
could
 
create
 
more
 
volatility
 
than
 
expected
 
through
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Fair
 
Value
 
through
 
Other
 
Comprehensive
 
Income
 
(FVOCI)
reserves.

The
 
Group
 
operates
 
in
 
a
 
highly
 
competitive
 
environment
 
(in
 
particular,
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US)
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
must
 
evolve
 
and
 
adapt
 
to
 
the
 
significant
changes
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
financial
 
regulatory
 
reform,
 
technological
 
advances,
 
increased
 
public
 
scrutiny
 
and
 
current
 
economic
 
conditions.
 
The
Group
 
expects
 
that
 
competition
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
intense
 
and
 
may
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
Group’s
 
future
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
and
 
prospects.
 
New
 
competitors
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry
 
continue
 
to
 
emerge.
 
For
 
example,
 
technological
 
advances
 
and
 
the
 
growth
 
of
 
e-commerce
have
 
made
 
it
 
possible
 
for
 
non-banks
 
to
 
offer
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
that
 
traditionally
 
were
 
banking
 
products.
 
This
 
has
 
allowed
 
financial
institutions
 
and
 
other
 
companies
 
to
 
provide
 
electronic
 
and
 
internet-based
 
financial
 
solutions,
 
including
 
electronic
 
securities
 
trading,
 
payments
processing
 
and
 
online
 
automated
 
algorithmic-based
 
investment
 
advice.
 
Furthermore,
 
both
 
financial
 
institutions
 
and
 
their
 
non-banking
competitors
 
face
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
payments
 
processing
 
and
 
other
 
services
 
could
 
be
 
significantly
 
disrupted
 
by
 
technologies,
 
such
 
as
cryptocurrencies,
 
that
 
require
 
no
 
intermediation.
 
New
 
technologies
 
have
 
required
 
and
 
could
 
require
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
spend
 
more
 
to
 
modify
 
or
 
adapt
its
 
products
 
or
 
make
 
additional
 
capital
 
investments
 
in
 
its
 
businesses
 
to
 
attract
 
and
 
retain
 
clients
 
and
 
customers
 
or
 
to
 
match
 
products
 
and
services
 
offered
 
by
 
its
 
competitors,
 
including
 
technology
 
companies.
 
Ongoing
 
or
 
increased
 
competition
 
may
 
put
 
pressure
 
on
 
the
 
pricing
 
for
 
the
 
Group’s
 
products
 
and
 
services,
 
which
 
could
 
reduce
 
the
 
Group's
revenues
 
and
 
profitability,
 
or
 
may
 
cause
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
lose
 
market
 
share,
 
particularly
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
traditional
 
banking
 
products
 
such
 
as
deposits,
 
bank
 
accounts
 
and
 
mortgage
 
lending.
 
This
 
competition
 
may
 
be
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
quality
 
and
 
variety
 
of
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
offered,
transaction
 
execution,
 
innovation,
 
reputation
 
and
 
price.
 
The
 
failure
 
of
 
any
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
to
 
meet
 
the
 
expectations
 
of
 
clients
 
and
customers,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
general
 
market
 
conditions,
 
under-performance,
 
a
 
decision
 
not
 
to
 
offer
 
a
 
particular
 
product
 
or
 
service,
 
changes
 
in
client
 
and
 
customer
 
expectations
 
or
 
other
 
factors,
 
could
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
attract
 
or
 
retain
 
clients
 
and
 
customers.
 
Any
 
such
 
impact
could,
 
in
 
turn,
 
reduce
 
the
 
Group’s
 
revenues.
vi)
 
Regulatory
 
change
 
agenda
 
and
 
impact
 
on
 
business
 
model
The
 
Group
 
remains
 
subject
 
to
 
ongoing
 
significant
 
levels
 
of
 
regulatory
 
change
 
and
 
scrutiny
 
in
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
countries
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
operates
(including,
 
in
 
particular,
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
US).
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
regulatory
 
risk
 
will
 
remain
 
a
 
focus
 
for
 
senior
 
management.
 
Furthermore,
 
a
 
more
intensive
 
regulatory
 
approach
 
and
 
enhanced
 
requirements
 
together
 
with
 
the
 
potential
 
lack
 
of
 
international
 
regulatory
 
co-ordination
 
as
 
enhanced
supervisory
 
standards
 
are
 
developed
 
and
 
implemented
 
may
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
capital
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
strategies
and/or
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
deciding
 
to
 
modify
 
its
 
legal
 
entity,
 
capital
 
and

structures
 
and
 
business

or
 
to
 
exit
 
certain
 
business
activities
 
altogether
 
or
 
not
 
to
 
expand
 
in
 
areas
 
despite
 
otherwise
 
attractive
 
potential.
There
 
are
 
several
 
significant
 
pieces
 
of
 
legislation
 
and
 
areas
 
of
 
focus
 
which
 
will
 
require
 
significant
 
management
 
attention,
 
cost
 
and
 
resource,

The
 
derivatives
 
market
 
has
 
been
 
the
 
subject
 
of
 
particular
 
focus
 
for
 
regulators
 
in
 
recent
 
years
 
across
 
the
 
G20
 
countries
 
and
 
beyond,
 
with
regulations
 
introduced
 
which
 
require
 
the
 
reporting
 
and
 
clearing
 
of
 
standardised
 
over
 
the
 
counter
 
(OTC)
 
derivatives
 
and
 
the
 
mandatory
margining
 
of
 
non-cleared
 
OTC
 
derivatives.
 
These
 
regulations
 
may
 
increase
 
costs
 
for
 
market
 
participants,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
reduce
 
liquidity
 
in
 
the
derivatives
 
markets,
 
in
 
particular
 
if
 
there
 
are
 
areas
 
of
 
overlapping
 
or
 
conflicting
 
regulation.
 
More
 
broadly,
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
regulatory
 
framework
(in
 
particular,
 
the
 
review
 
of
 
the
 
second
 
Markets
 
in
 
Financial
 
Instruments
 
Directive
 
and
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
Benchmarks
 
Regulation)
could
 
entail
 
significant
 
costs
 
for
 
market
 
participants
 
and
 
may
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
certain
 
markets
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
operates.
 
The
 
Group
 
and
 
certain
 
of
 
its
 
members
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
supervisory
 
stress
 
testing
 
exercises
 
in
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
jurisdictions.
 
These
 
exercises
currently
 
include
 
the
 
programmes
 
of
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England,
 
the
 
European
 
Banking
 
Authority
 
(EBA),
 
the
 
Federal

Corporation
(FDIC)
 
and
 
the

Board
 
(FRB).
 
Failure
 
to
 
meet
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
regulatory
 
stress
 
tests,
 
or
 
the
 
failure
 
by
 
regulators
 
to
approve
 
the
 
stress
 
test
 
results
 
and
 
capital
 
plans
 
of
 
the
 
Group,
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
or
 
certain
 
of
 
its

vii)
 
The
 
impact
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
The
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
rapidly
 
increasing
 
societal,
 
regulatory
 
and
 
political
 
focus,
 
both
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
internationally.
 
Embedding
 
climate
 
risk
 
into
 
the
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
framework
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
regulatory
 
expectations,
 
and
 
adapting
 
the
 
Group’s
 
operations
and
 
business
 
strategy
 
to
 
address
 
the
 
financial
 
risks
 
resulting
 
from
 
both:
 
(i)
 
the
 
physical
 
risk
 
of
 
climate
 
change;
 
and
 
(ii)
 
the
 
risk
 
from
 
the
 
transition
to
 
a
 
low
 
carbon
 
economy,
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business.
Physical
 
risks
 
from
 
climate
 
change
 
arise
 
from
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors
 
and
 
relate
 
to
 
specific
 
weather
 
events
 
and
 
longer-term
 
shifts
 
in
 
the
 
climate.
The
 
nature
 
and
 
timing
 
of
 
extreme
 
weather
 
events
 
are
 
uncertain
 
but
 
they
 
are
 
increasing
 
in
 
frequency
 
and
 
their
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
economy
 
is
predicted
 
to
 
be
 
more
 
acute
 
in
 
the
 
future.
 
The
 
potential
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
economy
 
includes,
 
but
 
is
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
 
lower
 
GDP
 
growth,
 
higher
unemployment
 
and
 
significant
 
changes
 
in
 
asset
 
prices
 
and
 
profitability
 
of
 
industries.
 
Damage
 
to
 
the
 
properties
 
and
 
operations
 
of
 
borrowers
could
 
impair
 
asset
 
values
 
and
 
the
 
creditworthiness
 
of
 
customers
 
leading
 
to
 
increased
 
default
 
rates,
 
delinquencies,
 
write-offs
 
and
 
impairment
charges
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
portfolios.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
premises
 
and
 
resilience
 
may
 
also
 
suffer
 
physical
 
damage
 
due
 
to
 
weather
 
events
leading
 
to
 
increased
 
costs
 
for
 
the
 
Group.
As
 
the
 
economy
 
transitions
 
to
 
a
 
low-carbon
 
economy,
 
financial
 
institutions
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
face
 
significant
 
and
 
rapid
 
developments
 
in
stakeholder
 
expectations,
 
policy,
 
law
 
and
 
regulation
 
which
 
could
 
impact
 
the
 
lending
 
activities
 
the
 
Group
 
undertakes,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
risks
associated
 
with
 
its
 
lending
 
portfolios,
 
and
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
assets.
 
As
 
sentiment
 
towards
 
climate
 
change
 
shifts
 
and
 
societal
preferences
 
change,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
face
 
greater
 
scrutiny
 
of
 
the
 
type
 
of
 
business
 
it
 
conducts,
 
adverse
 
media
 
coverage
 
and
 
reputational
damage,
 
which
 
may
 
in
 
turn
 
impact
 
customer
 
demand
 
for
 
the
 
Group's
 
products,
 
returns
 
on
 
certain
 
business
 
activities
 
and
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
certain
assets
 
and
 
trading
 
positions
 
resulting
 
in
 
impairment
 
charges.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
impacts
 
of
 
physical
 
and
 
transition
 
climate
 
risks
 
can
 
lead
 
to
 
second
 
order
 
connected
 
risks,
 
which
 
have
 
the
 
potential
 
to
 
affect
 
the
Group’s
 
retail
 
and
 
wholesale
 
portfolios.
 
The
 
impacts
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
may
 
increase
 
losses
 
for
 
those
 
sectors
 
sensitive
 
to
 
the
 
effects
 
of
 
physical
and
 
transition
 
risks.
 
Any
 
subsequent
 
increase
 
in
 
defaults
 
and
 
rising
 
unemployment
 
could
 
create
 
recessionary
 
pressures,
 
which
 
may
 
lead
 
to
wider
 
deterioration
 
in
 
the
 
creditworthiness
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
clients,
 
higher
 
ECLs,
 
and
 
increased
 
charge-offs
 
and
 
defaults
 
among
 
retail
 
customers.
If
 
the
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
adequately
 
embed
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change
 
into
 
its
 
risk
 
framework
 
to
 
appropriately
 
measure,
 
manage
 
and
disclose
 
the
 
various
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
risks
 
it
 
faces
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
climate
 
change,
 
or
 
fails
 
to
 
adapt
 
its
 
strategy
 
and
 
business
 
model
 
to
 
the
changing
 
regulatory
 
requirements
 
and
 
market
 
expectations
 
on
 
a
 
timely
 
basis,
 
it
 
may
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
and
 
adverse
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
level
 
of
business
 
growth,
 
competitiveness,
 
profitability,
 
capital
 
requirements,
 
cost
 
of
 
funding,
 
and
 
financial
 
condition.

viii)
 
Impact
 
of
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rate
 
reforms
 
on
 
the
 
Group
For
 
several
 
years,
 
global
 
regulators
 
and
 
central
 
banks
 
have
 
been
 
driving
 
international
 
efforts
 
to
 
reform
 
key
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
indices,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
London
 
Interbank
 
Offered
 
Rate
 
(LIBOR),
 
which
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
amounts
 
payable
 
under
 
a
 
wide
 
range
 
of
transactions
 
and
 
make
 
them
 
more
 
reliable
 
and
 
robust.
 
This
 
has
 
resulted
 
in
 
significant
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
methodology
 
and
 
operation
 
of
 
certain
benchmarks
 
and
 
indices,
 
the
 
adoption
 
of
 
alternative
 
“risk-free”
 
reference
 
rates
 
and
 
the
 
proposed
 
discontinuation
 
of
 
certain
 
reference
 
rates
(including
 
LIBOR),
 
with
 
further
 
changes
 
anticipated,
 
including
 
UK,
 
EU
 
and
 
US
 
legislative
 
proposals
 
to
 
deal
 
with
 
‘tough
 
legacy’
 
contracts
 
that
cannot
 
convert
 
into
 
or
 
cannot
 
add
 
fall-back
 
risk-free
 
reference
 
rates.
 
The
 
consequences
 
of
 
reform
 
are
 
unpredictable
 
and
 
may
 
have
 
an
 
adverse
impact
 
on
 
any
 
financial
 
instruments
 
linked
 
to,
 
or
 
referencing,
 
any
 
of
 
these
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rates.
Uncertainty
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
such
 
potential
 
changes,
 
the
 
availability
 
and/or
 
suitability
 
of
 
alternative
 
“risk-free”
 
reference
 
rates
 
and
 
other
reforms
 
may
 
adversely
 
affect
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
transactions
 
(including
 
any
 
securities,
 
loans
 
and
 
derivatives
 
which
 
use
 
LIBOR
 
to
 
determine
 
the

of
 
Barclays

from

Barclays
 
PLC
 
is
 
a
 
holding
 
company
 
and
 
its
 
principal
 
sources
 
of

are,
 
and
 
are

to
 
continue
 
to

distributions
 
(in
 
the

from
 
operating
 
subsidiaries
 
which
 
also

of
 
the

As
 
a
 
separate
 
legal

Barclays
 
PLC
 
relies
 
on
 
such
 
distributions
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
meet
 
its

as
 
they
 
fall
 
due
 
(including
 
its

and
 
to
 
create
 
distributable
 
reserves
 
for

of
 
dividends
 
to

The
 
ability
 
of
 
Barclays

subsidiaries
 
to
 
pay
 
dividends
 
and

and

receive
 
such
 
distributions
 
from
 
its

in
 
its

not
 
only
 
to
 
such
 
subsidiaries’
 
and
 
other

financial
 
performance
 
and

Application
 
of
 
resolution

and
 
stabilisation
 
powers
 
under
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
Under
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
 
2009,
 
as
 
amended
 
(Banking
 
Act),
 
substantial
 
powers
 
are
 
granted
 
to
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England
 
(or,
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances,
HM
 
Treasury),
 
in
 
consultation
 
with
 
the
 
PRA,
 
the
 
FCA
 
and
 
HM
 
Treasury,
 
as
 
appropriate,
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
a
 
special
 
resolution
 
regime
 
(SRR).
 
These
powers
 
enable
 
the
 
relevant
 
UK
 
resolution
 
authority
 
to
 
implement
 
resolution
 
measures
 
and
 
stabilisation
 
options
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
a
 
UK
 
bank
 
or
investment
 
firm
 
and
 
certain
 
of
 
its
 
affiliates
 
(currently
 
including
 
Barclays
 
PLC)
 
(each,
 
a
 
relevant
 
entity)
 
in
 
circumstances
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
relevant
 
UK
resolution
 
authority
 
is
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
resolution
 
conditions
 
are
 
met.
 
The
 
SRR
 
consists
 
of
 
five
 
stabilisation
 
options:
 
(i)
 
private
 
sector
 
transfer
 
of
all
 
or
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
or
 
shares
 
of
 
the

entity,
 
(ii)
 
transfer
 
of
 
all
 
or
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
entity
 
to
 
a
 
“bridge
 
bank”
established
 
by
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England,
 
(iii)
 
transfer
 
to
 
an
 
asset
 
management
 
vehicle
 
wholly
 
or
 
partly
 
owned
 
by
 
HM
 
Treasury
 
or
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
England,
 
(iv)
 
the
 
cancellation,
 
transfer
 
or
 
dilution
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
entities'
 
equity
 
(including
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
ordinary
 
share
 
capital)
 
and
 
write-down
or
 
conversion
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
entity’s
 
capital
 
instruments
 
and
 
liabilities
 
(the
 
bail-in
 
tool)
 
and
 
(v)
 
temporary
 
public
 
ownership
 
(i.e.
 
nationalisation).
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
relevant
 
UK
 
resolution
 
authority
 
may,
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
 
require
 
the
 
permanent
 
write-
down
 
or
 
conversion
 
into
 
equity
 
of
 
any
 
outstanding
 
tier
 
1
 
capital
 
instruments,
 
tier
 
2
 
capital
 
instruments
 
and

MREL
 
prior
 
to
 
the
 
exercise
 
of
any
 
stabilisation
 
option
 
(including
 
the
 
bail-in
 
tool).
 
Any
 
such
 
action
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
dilution
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
ordinary
 
share
 
capital.
Shareholders
 
should
 
assume
 
that,
 
in
 
a
 
resolution
 
situation,
 
public
 
financial
 
support
 
will
 
only
 
be
 
available
 
to
 
a
 
relevant
 
entity
 
as
 
a
 
last
 
resort
 
after
the
 
relevant
 
UK
 
resolution
 
authorities
 
have
 
assessed
 
and
 
used,
 
to
 
the
 
maximum
 
extent
 
practicable,
 
the
 
resolution
 
tools,
 
including
 
the
 
bail-in
 
tool
(the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England’s
 
preferred
 
approach
 
for
 
the

is
 
a
 
bail-in
 
strategy
 
with
 
a
 
single
 
point

The
exercise
 
of
 
any
 
of
 
such
 
powers
 
under
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
 
or
 
any
 
suggestion
 
of
 
any
 
such
 
exercise
 
could
 
materially
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
value
 
of
Barclays

ordinary

and
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
shareholders
 
losing
 
some
 
or
 
all
 
of
 
their
 
investment.
In
 
addition,
 
any
 
safeguards
 
within
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
‘no
 
creditor
 
worse
 
off'
 
principle)
 
may
 
not
 
result
 
in
 
compensation
 
to

is
 
equivalent
 
to
 
the
 
full
 
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
them
 
in
 
the

there
 
can
 
be
 
no
 
assurance
 
that
 
shareholders
 
would
 
recover
 
such
compensation
 
promptly.

b)
 
Specific
 
sectors
 
and
 
concentrations
The
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
risks
 
arising
 
from
 
changes
 
in
 
credit
 
quality
 
and
 
recovery
 
rates
 
of
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
due
 
from
 
borrowers
 
and
counterparties
 
in
 
any
 
specific
 
portfolio.
 
Any
 
deterioration
 
in
 
credit
 
quality
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
lower
 
recoverability
 
and
 
higher
 
impairment
 
in
 
a
 
specific
sector.
 
The
 
following
 
are
 
areas
 
of
 
uncertainties
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
portfolio
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
performance:
UK
 
retail,
 
hospitality
 
and
 
leisure.
Softening
 
demand,
 
rising
 
costs
 
and
 
a
 
structural
 
shift
 
to
 
online
 
shopping
 
is
 
fuelling
 
pressure
 
on
 
the
 
UK
 
High
Street
 
and
 
other
 
sectors
 
heavily
 
reliant
 
on
 
consumer
 
discretionary
 
spending.
 
As
 
these
 
sectors
 
continue
 
to
 
reposition
 
themselves,
 
the
 
trend
represents
 
a
 
potential
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
UK
 
corporate
 
portfolio
 
from
 
the
 
perspective
 
of
 
its
 
interactions
 
with
 
both
 
retailers
 
and
 
their
 
landlords.
Consumer
 
affordability
has
 
remained
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
of
 
focus,
 
particularly
 
in
 
unsecured
 
lending.
 
Macroeconomic
 
factors,
 
such
 
as
 
rising
unemployment,
 
that
 
impact
 
a
 
customer’s
 
ability
 
to
 
service
 
debt
 
payments
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
increased
 
arrears
 
in
 
both
 
unsecured
 
and
 
secured
products.
UK

UK
 
property
 
represents
 
a
 
significant
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
overall
 
Group
 
retail
 
credit
 
exposure.
 
In
 
2020,
 
property
 
prices
fluctuated
 
significantly.
 
In
 
the
 
first
 
half
 
of
 
2020
 
the
 
Group’s
 
retail
 
exposure
 
experienced
 
a
 
suppressed
 
UK
 
real

market
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
impact
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
whilst
 
the
 
second
 
half
 
of
 
2020

increased
 
activity
 
as
 
financial
 
support
 
schemes
 
and
 
a
 
temporary
 
stamp
 
duty
cut
 
took
 
effect.
 
However,
 
there
 
can
 
be
 
no
 
assurance
 
that
 
the
 
recovery
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
real
 
estate
 
market
 
will
 
continue
 
in
 
2021
 
especially
 
as
 
the
longer
 
term
 
macroeconomic
 
effects
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
are
 
felt,
 
financial
 
support
 
schemes
 
are
 
withdrawn
 
and
 
stamp
 
duty
 
cuts
 
are
reversed,
 
and
 
growth
 
across
 
the
 
UK
 
has
 
slowed,
 
particularly
 
in
 
London
 
and
 
the
 
South
 
East
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
high
 
exposure.
 
The
Group’s
 
corporate
 
exposure
 
is
 
vulnerable
 
to
 
the
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
ongoing
 
COVID-19
 
stress,
 
with
 
particular
 
weakness
 
in
 
retail
 
property
 
as
 
a
result
 
of
 
reduced
 
rent
 
collections
 
and
 
residential
 
development.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
 
at
 
risk
 
of
 
increased
 
impairment
 
from
 
a
 
material
 
fall
 
in
 
property
prices.
 
Leverage

underwriting.
The
 
Group
 
takes
 
on
 
sub-investment
 
grade
 
underwriting
 
exposure,
 
including
 
single
 
name
 
risk,
 
particularly
 
in
the
 
US
 
and
 
Europe.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
credit
 
events
 
and
 
market
 
volatility
 
during
 
the
 
underwriting
 
period.
 
Any
 
adverse
 
events
 
during
 
this
period
 
may
 
potentially
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
for
 
the
 
Group,
 
or
 
an
 
increased
 
capital
 
requirement
 
should
 
there
 
be
 
a
 
need
 
to
 
hold
 
the
 
exposure
 
for
 
an
extended

Italian
 
mortgage
 
and
 
wholesale
 
exposure.
The
 
Group
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
a
 
decline
 
in
 
the
 
Italian
 
economic
 
environment
 
through
 
a
 
mortgage
portfolio
 
in
 
run-off
 
and
 
positions
 
to
 
wholesale
 
customers.
 
The
 
Italian
 
economy
 
was
 
severely
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
in
 
2020
 
and
recovery
 
has
 
been
 
slower
 
than
 
anticipated.
 
Should
 
the
 
Italian
 
economy
 
deteriorate
 
further
 
or
 
any
 
recovery
 
take
 
longer
 
to
 
materialise,
 
there
could
 
be
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
including,
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
 
increased
 
credit
 
losses
 
and
 
higher
impairment
 
charges.
Oil
 
&
 
Gas
 
sector.
The
 
Group’s
 
corporate
 
credit
 
exposure
 
includes
 
companies
 
whose
 
performance
 
is
 
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
oil
 
and
 
gas
 
sector.
Weaker
 
demand
 
for
 
energy
 
products,
 
in
 
particular
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
combined
 
with
 
a
 
sustained
 
period
 
of
 
lower
 
energy
prices
 
has
 
led
 
to
 
the
 
erosion
 
of
 
balance
 
sheet
 
strength,
 
particularly
 
for
 
higher
 
cost
 
producers
 
and
 
those
 
businesses
 
who
 
supply
 
goods
 
and
services
 
to
 
the
 
oil
 
and
 
gas
 
sector.
 
Any
 
recovery
 
from
 
the
 
drop
 
in
 
demand
 
is
 
likely
 
to
 
remain
 
volatile
 
and
 
energy
 
prices
 
could
 
remain
 
subdued
at
 
low
 
levels
 
for
 
the
 
foreseeable
 
future,
 
below
 
the
 
break-even
 
point
 
for
 
some
 
companies.
 
Furthermore,
 
in
 
the
 
longer
 
term,
 
costs
 
associated
with
 
the
 
transition
 
towards
 
renewable
 
sources
 
of
 
energy
 
may
 
place
 
great
 
demands
 
on
 
companies
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
exposure
 
to
 
globally.
These
 
factors
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
and
 
financial
 
condition
 
through
 
increased
impairment
 
charges.
The
 
Group
 
also
 
has
 
large
 
individual
 
exposures
 
to
 
single
 
name
 
counterparties,
 
both
 
in
 
its
 
lending
 
activities
 
and
 
in
 
its
 
financial
 
services
 
and
trading
 
activities,
 
including
 
transactions
 
in
 
derivatives
 
and
 
transactions
 
with
 
brokers,
 
central
 
clearing
 
houses,
 
dealers,
 
other
 
banks,
 
mutual
 
and
hedge
 
funds
 
and
 
other
 
institutional
 
clients.
 
The
 
default
 
of
 
such
 
counterparties
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
these
assets.
 
In
 
addition,
 
where
 
such
 
counterparty
 
risk
 
has
 
been
 
mitigated
 
by
 
taking
 
collateral,
 
credit
 
risk
 
may
 
remain
 
high
 
if
 
the
 
collateral
 
held
 
cannot
be
 
realised,
 
or
 
has
 
to
 
be
 
liquidated
 
at
 
prices
 
which
 
are
 
insufficient
 
to
 
recover
 
the
 
full
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
loan
 
or
 
derivative
 
exposure.
 
Any
 
such
defaults
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
results
 
due
 
to,
 
for
 
example,
 
increased
 
credit
 
losses
 
and
 
higher
 
impairment
charges.

ii)
 
Market
 
risk
Market
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
arising
 
from
 
potential
 
adverse
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
from
 
fluctuation
 
in
 
market
variables
 
including,
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
 
interest
 
rates,
 
foreign
 
exchange,
 
equity
 
prices,
 
commodity
 
prices,
 
credit
 
spreads,
 
implied
 
volatilities
 
and
asset
 
correlations.
 
Economic
 
and
 
financial
 
market
 
uncertainties
 
remain
 
elevated,
 
as
 
the
 
path
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
is
 
inherently
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
Further
waves
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
deployment
 
of
 
COVID-19
 
vaccines
 
not
 
being
 
as
 
successful
 
as
 
desired,
 
intensifying
 
social
 
unrest
 
that
 
weighs
on
 
market
 
sentiment,
 
and
 
deteriorating
 
trade
 
and
 
geopolitical
 
tensions
 
are
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
factors
 
that
 
could
 
heighten
 
market
 
risks
 
for
 
the
 
Group’s
portfolios.
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
trading
 
business
 
is
 
generally
 
exposed
 
to
 
a
 
prolonged
 
period
 
of
 
elevated
 
asset
 
price
 
volatility,
 
particularly
 
if
 
it
 
negatively
affects
 
the
 
depth
 
of
 
marketplace
 
liquidity.
 
Such
 
a
 
scenario
 
could
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
execute
 
client
 
trades
 
and
 
may
 
also
 
result
 
in
 
lower
client
 
flow-driven
 
income
 
and/or
 
market-based
 
losses
 
on
 
its
 
existing
 
portfolio
 
of
 
market
 
risks.
 
These
 
can
 
include
 
having
 
to
 
absorb
 
higher
 
hedging
costs
 
from
 
rebalancing
 
risks
 
that
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
managed
 
dynamically
 
as
 
market
 
levels
 
and
 
their
 
associated
 
volatilities
 
change.
It
 
is
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict
 
changes
 
in
 
market
 
conditions,
 
and
 
such
 
changes
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.

There
 
are
 
three
 
primary

Liquidity
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
unable
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
contractual
 
or
 
contingent
 
obligations
 
or
 
that
 
it
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
the
 
appropriate
 
amount,
tenor
 
and
 
composition
 
of
 
funding
 
and
 
liquidity
 
to
 
support
 
its
 
assets.
 
This
 
could
 
cause
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
fail
 
to
 
meet
 
regulatory
 
liquidity
 
standards
 
or
be
 
unable
 
to
 
support
 
day-to-day
 
banking
 
activities.
 
Key
 
liquidity
 
risks
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
faces
 
include:
The
 
stability
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
current
 
funding
 
profile:
In
 
particular,
 
that
 
part
 
which
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
accounts
 
and
 
deposits
 
payable
 
on
 
demand
 
or
at
 
short
 
notice,
 
could
 
be
 
affected
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
failing
 
to
 
preserve
 
the
 
current
 
level
 
of
 
customer
 
and
 
investor
 
confidence.
 
The
 
Group
 
also
regularly
 
accesses
 
the
 
money
 
and
 
capital
 
markets
 
to
 
provide
 
short-term
 
and
 
long-term
 
funding
 
to
 
support
 
its
 
operations.
 
Several
 
factors,
including
 
adverse
 
macroeconomic
 
conditions,
 
adverse
 
outcomes
 
in
 
conduct
 
and
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
 
matters
 
and
 
loss
 
of
confidence
 
by
 
investors,
 
counterparties
 
and/or
 
customers
 
in
 
the
 
Group,
 
can
 
affect
 
the
 
ability
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
access
 
the
 
capital
 
markets
 
and/or
the
 
cost
 
and
 
other
 
terms
 
upon
 
which

is
 
able
 
to
 
obtain
 
market

Credit
 
rating
 
changes
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
on
 
funding
 
costs:
Rating
 
agencies
 
regularly
 
review
 
credit
 
ratings
 
given
 
to
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
certain
members
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
Credit
 
ratings
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors,
 
including
 
some
 
which
 
are
 
not
 
within
 
the
 
Group’s
 
control
 
(such
 
as
political
 
and
 
regulatory
 
developments,
 
changes
 
in
 
rating
 
methodologies,
 
macroeconomic
 
conditions
 
and
 
the
 
sovereign
 
credit
 
ratings
 
of
 
the
countries
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
operates).
Whilst
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
change
 
will
 
depend
 
on
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
factors
 
(including
 
the
 
type
 
of
 
issuance
 
and
 
prevailing
 
market
 
conditions),
any
 
reductions
 
in
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
(in
 
particular,
 
any
 
downgrade
 
below
 
investment
 
grade)
 
may
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
access
 
to
 
the
 
money
 
or
 
capital
markets
 
and/or
 
terms
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
able
 
to
 
obtain
 
market
 
funding,
 
increase
 
costs
 
of
 
funding
 
and
 
credit
 
spreads,
 
reduce
 
the

range
 
of
 
counterparties
 
who
 
are
 
willing
 
to
 
enter
 
into
 
transactions
 
with
 
the
 
Group.
 
Any
 
of
 
these
 
factors
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
b)
 
Capital
 
risk
 
Capital
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
an
 
insufficient
 
level
 
or
 
composition
 
of
 
capital
 
to
 
support
 
its
 
normal
 
business
 
activities
 
and
 
to
 
meet
 
its
regulatory
 
capital
 
requirements
 
under
 
normal
 
operating
 
environments
 
or
 
stressed
 
conditions
 
(both
 
actual
 
and
 
as
 
defined
 
for
 
internal
 
planning
 
or
regulatory
 
stress
 
testing
 
purposes).
 
This
 
includes
 
the
 
risk
 
from
 
the
 
Group’s
 
pension
 
plans.
 
Key
 
capital
 
risks
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
faces
 
include:
Failure
 
to
 
meet
 
prudential
 
capital
 
requirements:
This
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
being
 
unable
 
to
 
support
 
some
 
or
 
all
 
of
 
its
 
business
 
activities,
a
 
failure
 
to
 
pass
 
regulatory
 
stress
 
tests,
 
increased
 
cost
 
of
 
funding
 
due
 
to
 
deterioration
 
in
 
investor
 
appetite
 
or
 
credit
 
ratings,
 
restrictions
 
on
distributions
 
including
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
meet
 
dividend
 
targets,
 
and/or
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
take
 
additional
 
measures
 
to
 
strengthen
 
the
 
Group's
 
capital
 
or
leverage
 
position.
Adverse
 
changes
 
in
 
FX
 
rates
 
impacting
 
capital
 
ratios:
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
capital
 
resources,
 
risk
 
weighted
 
assets
 
and
 
leverage
 
exposures
denominated
 
in
 
foreign
 
currencies.
 
Changes
 
in
 
foreign
 
currency
 
exchange
 
rates
 
may
 
adversely
 
impact
 
the
 
Sterling
 
equivalent
 
value
 
of
 
these
items.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
ratios
 
are
 
sensitive
 
to
 
foreign
 
currency
 
movements.
 
Failure
 
to
 
appropriately
 
manage
 
the
Group’s
 
balance
 
sheet
 
to
 
take
 
account
 
of
 
foreign
 
currency
 
movements
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
an
 
adverse
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
and
leverage
 
ratios.
Adverse
 
movements
 
in
 
the
 
pension
 
fund:
 
Adverse
 
movements
 
in
 
pension
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
for
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
schemes
 
could
result
 
in
 
deficits
 
on
 
a
 
funding
 
and/or
 
accounting
 
basis.
 
This
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
making
 
substantial
 
additional
 
contributions
 
to
 
its
 
pension
plans
 
and/or
 
a
 
deterioration
 
in
 
its
 
capital
 
position.
 
Under
 
IAS
 
19,
 
the
 
liabilities
 
discount
 
rate
 
is
 
derived
 
from
 
the
 
yields
 
of
 
high
 
quality
 
corporate
bonds.
 
Therefore,
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
defined
 
benefits
 
schemes
 
would
 
be
 
adversely
 
affected
 
by
 
a
 
prolonged
 
fall
 
in
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
due
 
to
 
a
 
persistent
 
low
 
interest
 
rate
 
and/or
 
credit
 
spread
 
environment.
 
Inflation
 
is
 
another
 
significant
 
risk
 
driver
 
to
 
the
 
pension
 
fund
 
as
 
the
liabilities
 
are
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
long-term
 
inflation
 
expectations.

the
 
success
 
of

is
 
exposed
 
to
 
potential

iv)
 
Operational
 
risk
Operational
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
from
 
inadequate
 
or
 
failed
 
processes
 
or
 
systems,
 
human
 
factors
 
or
 
due
 
to
 
external
 
events
 
where
the
 
root
 
cause
 
is
 
not
 
due
 
to
 
credit
 
or
 
market
 
risks.
 
Examples
 
include:
 
a)
 
Operational
 
resilience
The
 
Group
 
functions
 
in
 
a
 
highly
 
competitive
 
market,
 
with
 
market
 
participants
 
that
 
expect
 
consistent
 
and
 
smooth
 
business
 
processes.
 
The
 
loss
 
of
or
 
disruption
 
to
 
business
 
processing
 
is
 
a
 
material
 
inherent
 
risk
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
across
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry,
 
whether
 
arising
through
 
impacts
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
technology
 
systems,
 
real

including
 
its
 
retail

by
 
third
 
parties.
 
Failure
 
to
 
build
 
resilience
 
and

capabilities
 
into
 
business
 
processes
 
or
 
into
 
the
 
services
 
of
 
technology,
real
 
estate
 
or
 
suppliers
 
on
 
which
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
processes
 
depend,
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
significant
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
costs
 
to
 
reimburse
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage.
b)
 
Cyber-attacks
Cyber-attacks
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
global
 
threat
 
that
 
is
 
inherent
 
across
 
all
 
industries,
 
with
 
a
 
spike
 
in
 
both
 
number
 
and
 
severity
 
of
 
attacks
 
observed
recently.
 
The
 
financial
 
sector
 
remains
 
a
 
primary
 
target
 
for
 
cyber
 
criminals,
 
hostile
 
nation
 
states,
 
opportunists
 
and
 
hacktivists.
 
The
 
Group,
 
like
other
 
financial
 
institutions,
 
experiences
 
numerous
 
attempts
 
to
 
compromise
 
its
 
cyber
 
security.

2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
The
 
Group
 
dedicates
 
significant
 
resources
 
to
 
reducing
 
cyber
 
security
 
risks,
 
but
 
it
 
cannot
 
provide
 
absolute
 
security
 
against
 
cyber-attacks.
Malicious
 
actors
 
are
 
increasingly
 
sophisticated
 
in
 
their
 
methods,
 
seeking
 
to
 
steal
 
money,
 
gain
 
unauthorised
 
access
 
to,
 
destroy
 
or
 
manipulate
data,
 
and
 
disrupt
 
operations,
 
and
 
some
 
of
 
their
 
attacks
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
recognised
 
until
 
launched,
 
such
 
as
 
zero-day
 
attacks
 
that
 
are
 
launched
 
before
patches
 
and
 
defences
 
can
 
be
 
readied.
 
Cyber-attacks
 
can
 
originate
 
from
 
a
 
wide
 
variety
 
of
 
sources
 
and
 
target
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
numerous
 
ways,
including
 
attacks
 
on
 
networks,
 
systems,
 
or
 
devices
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
or
 
parties
 
such
 
as
 
service
 
providers
 
and
 
other
 
suppliers,
 
counterparties,
employees,
 
contractors,
 
customers
 
or
 
clients,
 
presenting
 
the
 
Group
 
with
 
a
 
vast
 
and
 
complex
 
defence
 
perimeter.
 
Moreover,
 
the
 
Group
 
does
 
not
have
 
direct
 
control
 
over
 
the
 
cyber
 
security
 
of
 
the
 
systems
 
of
 
its
 
clients,
 
customers,
 
counterparties
 
and
 
third-party
 
service
 
providers
 
and
suppliers,
 
limiting
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
effectively
 
defend
 
against
 
certain
 
threats.
A
 
failure
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
adherence
 
to
 
its
 
cyber
 
security
 
policies,
 
procedures
 
or
 
controls,
 
employee
 
malfeasance,
 
and
 
human,
 
governance
 
or
technological
 
error
 
could
 
also
 
compromise
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
successfully
 
defend
 
against
 
cyber-attacks.
 
Furthermore,
 
certain
 
legacy
technologies
 
that
 
are
 
at
 
or
 
approaching
 
end-of-life
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
maintained
 
to
 
acceptable
 
levels
 
of
 
security.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
experienced
 
cyber
 
security
 
incidents
 
and
 
near-misses
 
in
 
the
 
past,
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
inevitable
 
that
 
additional
 
incidents
 
will
 
occur
 
in
 
the
 
future.
 
Cyber
security
 
risks
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
increase,
 
due
 
to
 
factors
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
increasing
 
demand
 
across
 
the
 
industry
 
and
 
customer
 
expectations
 
for
continued
 
expansion
 
of
 
services
 
delivered
 
over
 
the
 
Internet;
 
increasing
 
reliance
 
on
 
Internet-based
 
products,
 
applications
 
and
 
data
 
storage;
 
and
changes
 
in
 
ways
 
of
 
working
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
employees,
 
contractors,
 
and
 
third
 
party
 
service
 
providers
 
and
 
suppliers
 
and
 
their
 
sub-contractors
 
in
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
Bad
 
actors
 
have
 
taken
 
advantage
 
of
 
remote
 
working
 
practices
 
and
 
modified
 
customer
 
behaviours
 
during
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
exploiting
 
the
 
situation
 
in
 
novel
 
ways
 
that
 
may
 
elude
 
defences.
Common
 
types
 
of
 
cyber-attacks
 
include
 
deployment
 
of
 
malware,
 
including
 
destructive
 
ransomware;
 
denial
 
of
 
service
 
and
 
distributed
 
denial
 
of
service
 
(DDoS)
 
attacks;
 
infiltration
 
via
 
business
 
email
 
compromise,
 
including
 
phishing,
 
or
 
via
 
social
 
engineering,
 
including
 
vishing
 
and
 
smishing;
automated
 
attacks
 
using
 
botnets;
 
and
 
credential
 
validation
 
or
 
stuffing
 
attacks
 
using
 
login
 
and
 
password
 
pairs
 
from
 
unrelated
 
breaches.
 
A
successful
 
cyber-attack
 
of
 
any
 
type
 
has
 
the
 
potential
 
to
 
cause
 
serious
 
harm
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
or
 
its
 
clients
 
and
 
customers,
 
including
 
exposure
 
to
potential
 
contractual
 
liability,
 
litigation,
 
regulatory
 
or
 
other
 
government
 
action,
 
loss
 
of
 
existing
 
or
 
potential
 
customers,
 
damage
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
brand
 
and
 
reputation,
 
and
 
other
 
financial
 
loss.
 
The
 
impact
 
of
 
a
 
successful
 
cyber-attack
 
also
 
is
 
likely
 
to
 
include
 
operational
 
consequences
 
(such
as
 
unavailability
 
of
 
services,
 
networks,
 
systems,
 
devices
 
or
 
data)
 
remediation
 
of
 
which
 
could
 
come
 
at
 
significant
 
cost.
 
Regulators
 
worldwide
 
continue
 
to
 
recognise
 
cyber
 
security
 
as
 
an
 
increasing
 
systemic
 
risk
 
to
 
the
 
financial
 
sector
 
and
 
have
 
highlighted
 
the
 
need
for
 
financial
 
institutions
 
to
 
improve
 
their
 
monitoring
 
and
 
control
 
of,
 
and
 
resilience
 
to
 
cyber-attacks.
 
A
 
successful
 
cyber-attack
 
may,
 
therefore,
result
 
in
 
significant
 
regulatory
 
fines
 
on
 
the
 
Group.
For

to
 
cyber-attacks,

c)
 
New
 
and
 
emergent
 
technology
Technology
 
is
 
fundamental
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
and
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry.
 
Technological
 
advancements
 
present
 
opportunities
 
to
develop
 
new
 
and
 
innovative
 
ways
 
of
 
doing
 
business
 
across
 
the
 
Group,
 
with
 
new
 
solutions
 
being
 
developed
 
both
 
in-house
 
and
 
in
 
association
with
 
third-party
 
companies.
 
For
 
example,
 
payment
 
services
 
and
 
securities,
 
futures
 
and
 
options
 
trading
 
are
 
increasingly
 
occurring
 
electronically,
both
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
own
 
systems
 
and
 
through
 
other
 
alternative
 
systems,
 
and
 
becoming
 
automated.
 
Whilst
 
increased
 
use
 
of
 
electronic
 
payment
and
 
trading
 
systems
 
and
 
direct
 
electronic
 
access
 
to
 
trading
 
markets
 
could
 
significantly
 
reduce
 
the
 
Group’s
 
cost
 
base,
 
it
 
may,
 
conversely,
 
reduce
the
 
commissions,
 
fees
 
and
 
margins
 
made
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
on
 
these
 
transactions
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
Introducing
 
new
 
forms
 
of
 
technology,
 
however,
 
has
 
the
 
potential
 
to
 
increase
 
inherent
 
risk.
 
Failure
 
to
 
evaluate,
 
actively
 
manage
 
and
 
closely
monitor
 
risk
 
exposure
 
during
 
all
 
phases
 
of
 
business
 
development
 
could
 
introduce
 
new
 
vulnerabilities
 
and
 
security
 
flaws
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
material
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
d)
 
External
 
fraud
 
The
 
nature
 
of
 
fraud
 
is
 
wide-ranging
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
evolve,
 
as
 
criminals
 
continually
 
seek
 
opportunities
 
to
 
target
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
activities
and
 
exploit
 
changes
 
to
 
customer
 
behaviour
 
and
 
product
 
and
 
channel
 
use
 
(such
 
as
 
the
 
increased
 
use
 
of
 
digital
 
products
 
and
 
enhanced
 
online
services)
 
or
 
exploit
 
new
 
products
 
(such
 
as
 
loans
 
provided
 
under
 
the
 
UK
 
Government’s
 
Bounce
 
Back
 
Loan
 
Scheme
 
and
 
the
 
Coronavirus
Business
 
Interruption
 
Loan
 
Scheme,
 
which
 
have
 
been
 
designed
 
to
 
support
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic).
 
Fraud
attacks
 
can
 
be
 
very
 
sophisticated
 
and
 
are
 
often
 
orchestrated
 
by
 
highly
 
organised
 
crime
 
groups
 
who
 
use
 
ever
 
more
 
sophisticated
 
techniques
 
to
target
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
directly
 
to
 
obtain
 
confidential
 
or
 
personal
 
information
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
commit
 
fraud.
 
The
 
UK
 
market
 
has
 
also
seen
 
significant
 
growth
 
in
 
“scams”
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
takes
 
increased
 
levels
 
of
 
liability
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
a
 
voluntary
 
code
 
to
 
provide
 
additional
safeguards
 
to
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
who
 
are
 
tricked
 
into
 
making
 
payments
 
to
 
fraudsters.
 
The
 
impact
 
from
 
fraud
 
can
 
lead
 
to
 
customer
 
detriment,
financial
 
losses
 
(including
 
the
 
reimbursement
 
of
 
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
customers),
 
loss
 
of
 
business,
 
missed
 
business
 
opportunities
 
and
 
reputational
damage,
 
all
 
of
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
e)
 
Data
 
management
 
and
 
information
 
protection
 
The
 
Group
 
holds
 
and
 
processes
 
large
 
volumes
 
of
 
data,
 
including
 
personally
 
identifiable
 
information,
 
intellectual
 
property,
 
and
 
financial
 
data
 
and
the
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
complex
 
and
 
evolving
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations
 
governing
 
the
 
privacy
 
and
 
protection
 
of
 
personal
 
information
of
 
individuals,
 
including
 
Regulation
 
(EU)
 
2016/679
 
(General
 
Data
 
Protection
 
Regulation
 
(GDPR)).
 
The
 
protected
 
parties
 
can
 
include:
 
(i)
 
the
Group’s
 
clients
 
and
 
customers,
 
and
 
prospective

and
 
(iv)
 
employees
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s

The
 
international
 
nature
 
of
 
both
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
and
 
its
 
IT
 
infrastructure
 
also
 
means
 
that
 
personal
 
information
 
may
 
be
 
available
 
in
countries
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
from
 
where
 
it
 
originated.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
Group
 
needs
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
its
 
collection,
 
use,
 
transfer
 
and
 
storage
 
of
personal
 
information
 
complies
 
with
 
all
 
applicable
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations
 
in
 
all
 
relevant
 
jurisdictions,
 
which
 
could:
 
(i)
 
increase
 
the
 
Group’s
compliance
 
and
 
operating
 
costs;
 
(ii)
 
impact
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
new
 
products
 
or
 
services,
 
impact
 
the
 
offering
 
of
 
existing
 
products
 
or
 
services,
 
or
affect
 
how
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
are
 
offered
 
to
 
clients
 
and
 
customers;
 
(iii)
 
demand
 
significant
 
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
management;
 
and
 
(iv)
require
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
review
 
some
 
elements
 
of
 
the
 
structure
 
of
 
its
 
businesses,
 
operations
 
and

in
 
less
 
efficient
 
ways.
 
Concerns
 
regarding
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
measures
 
to
 
safeguard
 
personal
 
information,
 
or
 
even
 
the
 
perception
 
that
 
those
 
measures
are
 
inadequate,
 
could
 
expose
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
unavailability
 
of
 
data
 
or

integrity
 
issues
 
and/or
 
cause
 
the

and
 
thereby
 
reduce
 
the

Furthermore,
 
any
 
failure

perceived
 
failure
 
by
 
the
 
Group
to
 
comply
 
with
 
applicable
 
privacy

duplicated
 
transactions,
 
a
 
system
 
outage,

impact
 
the

g)
 
Processing
 
error
The
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
are
 
highly
 
dependent
 
on
 
its
 
ability
 
to
 
process
 
and
 
monitor,
 
on
 
a
 
daily
 
basis,
 
a
 
very
 
large
 
number
 
of
 
transactions,
 
many
of
 
which
 
are
 
highly
 
complex
 
and
 
occur
 
at
 
high
 
volumes
 
and
 
frequencies,
 
across
 
numerous
 
and
 
diverse
 
markets
 
in
 
many
 
currencies.
 
As
 
the
Group’s
 
customer
 
base
 
and
 
geographical
 
reach
 
expand
 
and
 
the
 
volume,
 
speed,
 
frequency
 
and
 
complexity
 
of
 
transactions,
 
especially
 
electronic
transactions
 
(as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
requirements
 
to
 
report
 
such
 
transactions
 
on
 
a
 
real-time
 
basis
 
to
 
clients,
 
regulators
 
and
 
exchanges)
 
increase,
developing,
 
maintaining
 
and
 
upgrading
 
operational
 
systems
 
and
 
infrastructure
 
becomes
 
more
 
challenging,
 
and
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
systems
 
or
 
human
error
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
such
 
transactions
 
increases,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
potential
 
consequences
 
of
 
such
 
errors
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
speed
 
and
 
volume
 
of
transactions
 
involved
 
and
 
the
 
potential
 
difficulty
 
associated
 
with
 
discovering
 
errors
 
quickly
 
enough
 
to
 
limit
 
the
 
resulting
 
consequences.
Furthermore,
 
events
 
that
 
are
 
wholly
 
or
 
partially
 
beyond
 
the
 
Group’s
 
control,
 
such
 
as
 
a
 
spike
 
in
 
transaction
 
volume,
 
could
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
process
 
transactions
 
or
 
provide
 
banking
 
and
 
payment
 
services.
Processing
 
errors
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Group,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
(i)
 
failing
 
to
 
provide
 
information,
 
services
 
and
 
liquidity
 
to
 
clients
 
and
counterparties
 
in
 
a
 
timely
 
manner;
 
(ii)
 
failing
 
to
 
settle
 
and/or
 
confirm
 
transactions;
 
(iii)
 
causing
 
funds
 
transfers,
 
capital
 
markets
 
trades
 
and/or
other
 
transactions
 
to
 
be
 
executed
 
erroneously,
 
illegally
 
or
 
with
 
unintended
 
consequences;
 
and
 
(iv)
 
adversely
 
affecting
 
financial,
 
trading
 
or
currency
 
markets.
 
Any
 
of
 
these
 
events
 
could
 
materially
 
disadvantage
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
counterparties
 
(including
 
them
suffering
 
financial
 
loss)
 
and/or
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
loss
 
of
 
confidence
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
which,
 
in
 
turn,
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
h)
 
Supplier
 
exposure
The
 
Group
 
depends
 
on
 
suppliers
 
for
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
many
 
of
 
its
 
services
 
and
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
technology.
 
Whilst
 
the
 
Group
 
depends
 
on
suppliers,
 
it
 
remains
 
fully
 
accountable
 
for
 
any
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
actions
 
of
 
suppliers.
 
The
 
dependency
 
on
 
suppliers
 
and
 
sub-contracting
 
of
outsourced
 
services
 
introduces
 
concentration
 
risk
 
where
 
the
 
failure
 
of
 
specific
 
suppliers
 
could
 
have
 
an
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
continue
to
 
provide
 
material
 
services
 
to
 
its
 
customers.
 
Failure
 
to
 
adequately
 
manage
 
supplier
 
risk
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
i)
 
Estimates
 
and
 
judgements
 
relating
 
to
 
critical
 
accounting
 
policies
 
and
 
capital
 
disclosures
The
 
preparation
 
of
 
financial
 
statements
 
requires
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
accounting
 
policies
 
and
 
judgements
 
to
 
be
 
made
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS.
Regulatory
 
returns
 
and
 
capital
 
disclosures
 
are
 
prepared
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
relevant
 
capital
 
reporting
 
requirements
 
and
 
also
 
require
assumptions
 
and
 
estimates
 
to
 
be
 
made.
 
The
 
key
 
areas
 
involving
 
a
 
higher
 
degree
 
of
 
judgement
 
or
 
complexity,
 
or
 
areas
 
where
 
assumptions
 
are
significant
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
and
 
individual
 
financial
 
statements,
 
include
 
credit
 
impairment
 
charges,
 
taxes,
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
financial
 
instruments,
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets,
 
pensions
 
and
 
post-retirement
 
benefits,
 
and
 
provisions
 
including
 
conduct
 
and
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
matters
 
(see
 
the
 
notes
 
to
 
the
 
audited
 
financial
 
statements
 
for
 
further
 
details).
 
There
 
is
 
a
 
risk
 
that
 
if
 
the
 
judgement
 
exercised,
 
or
 
the
 
estimates
 
or
assumptions
 
used,
 
subsequently
 
turn
 
out
 
to
 
be
 
incorrect,
 
this
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
material
 
losses
 
to
 
the
 
Group,
 
beyond
 
what
 
was
 
anticipated
 
or
provided
 
for.
 
Further
 
development
 
of
 
accounting
 
standards
 
and
 
capital
 
interpretations
 
could
 
also
 
materially
 
impact
 
the
 
Group’s
 
results
 
of
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
j)
 
Tax
 
risk
The
 
Group
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
domestic
 
and
 
international
 
tax
 
laws
 
and
 
practice
 
of
 
all
 
countries
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
has
 
business
 
operations.
There
 
is
 
a
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
could
 
suffer
 
losses
 
due
 
to
 
additional
 
tax
 
charges,
 
other
 
financial
 
costs
 
or
 
reputational
 
damage
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
failing
to
 
comply
 
with
 
such
 
laws
 
and
 
practice,
 
or
 
by
 
failing
 
to
 
manage
 
its
 
tax
 
affairs
 
in
 
an
 
appropriate
 
manner,
 
with
 
much
 
of
 
this
 
risk
 
attributable
 
to
 
the
international
 
structure
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
In
 
addition,
 
increasing
 
reporting
 
and
 
disclosure
 
requirements
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
and
 
the
 
digitisation
 
of
 
the
administration
 
of
 
tax
 
has
 
potential
 
to
 
increase
 
the
 
Group’s
 
tax
 
compliance
 
obligations
 
further.
k)
 
Ability
 
to
 
hire
 
and
 
retain
 
appropriately
 
qualified
 
employees
As
 
a
 
regulated
 
financial
 
institution,
 
the
 
Group
 
requires
 
diversified
 
and
 
specialist
 
skilled
 
colleagues.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
attract,
 
develop
 
and
retain
 
a
 
diverse
 
mix
 
of
 
talent
 
is
 
key
 
to
 
the
 
delivery
 
of
 
its
 
core
 
business
 
activity
 
and
 
strategy.
 
This
 
is
 
impacted
 
by
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
external
 
and
 
internal
factors,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
UK’s
 
decision
 
to
 
leave
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
enhanced
 
individual
 
accountability
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
 
banking
 
industry.
 
Failure
 
to
attract
 
or
 
prevent
 
the
 
departure
 
of
 
appropriately
 
qualified
 
and
 
skilled
 
employees
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
 
Additionally,
 
this
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
disruption
 
to
 
service
 
which
 
could
 
in
 
turn
 
lead
 
to
disenfranchising
 
certain
 
customer
 
groups,
 
customer
 
detriment
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage.

v)
 
Model
 
risk
Model
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
potential
 
adverse
 
consequences
 
from
 
financial
 
assessments
 
or
 
decisions
 
based
 
on
 
incorrect
 
or
 
misused
 
model
 
outputs
and
 
reports.
 
The
 
Group
 
relies
 
on
 
models
 
to
 
support
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
business
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
activities,
 
including
 
informing
 
business
decisions
 
and
 
strategies,
 
measuring
 
and
 
limiting
 
risk,
 
valuing
 
exposures
 
(including
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
impairment),
 
conducting
 
stress
 
testing,
assessing
 
capital
 
adequacy,
 
supporting
 
new
 
business
 
acceptance
 
and
 
risk
 
and
 
reward
 
evaluation,
 
managing
 
client
 
assets,
 
and
 
meeting
reporting
 
requirements.
Models
 
are,
 
by
 
their
 
nature,
 
imperfect
 
and
 
incomplete
 
representations
 
of
 
reality
 
because
 
they
 
rely
 
on
 
assumptions
 
and
 
inputs,
 
and
 
so
 
they
 
may
be
 
subject
 
to
 
errors
 
affecting
 
the
 
accuracy
 
of
 
their
 
outputs
 
and/or
 
misused.
 
This
 
may
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
when
 
dealing
 
with
 
unprecedented
scenarios,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
lack
 
of
 
reliable
 
historical
 
reference
 
points
 
and
 
data.
 
For
 
instance,
 
the
 
quality
 
of
 
the
 
data
used
 
in
 
models
 
across
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
accuracy
 
and
 
completeness
 
of
 
its
 
risk
 
and
 
financial
 
metrics.
 
Model

being
 
identified
 
in
the
 
Group’s

and
 
regulatory

This
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
significant
 
financial
 
loss,
 
imposition
 
of
 
additional
 
capital
requirements,
 
enhanced
 
regulatory
 
supervision
 
and

Examples
 
of
 
employee
 
misconduct
 
which
 
could
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
include
 
(i)
 
employees
 
improperly
 
selling
 
or
 
marketing
 
the
 
Group’s
 
products
 
and
services;
 
(ii)
 
employees
 
engaging
 
in
 
insider

or
 
(iii)
 
employees
 
misappropriating
 
confidential
or
 
proprietary
 
information
 
belonging
 
to
 
the
 
Group,
 
its
 
customers
 
or
 
third
 
parties.
 
These
 
risks
 
may
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
in
 
circumstances
 
where
 
the
Group
 
is
 
unable
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
physical
 
oversight
 
and
 
supervision
 
of
 
employees
 
(such
 
as
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19

where
 
employees
 
have
worked
 
remotely).
b)
 
Customer
 
engagement
 
The
 
Group
 
must
 
ensure
 
that
 
its
 
customers,
 
particularly
 
those
 
that
 
are
 
vulnerable,
 
are
 
able
 
to
 
make
 
well-informed
 
decisions
 
on
 
how
 
best
 
to
 
use
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
services
 
and
 
understand
 
that
 
they
 
are
 
appropriately
 
protected
 
if
 
something
 
goes
 
wrong.
 
Poor
 
customer
 
outcomes
 
can
result
 
from
 
the
 
failure
 
to:
 
(i)
 
communicate
 
fairly
 
and
 
clearly
 
with
 
customers;
 
(ii)
 
provide
 
services
 
in
 
a
 
timely
 
and
 
fair
 
manner;
 
and
 
(iii)
 
undertake
appropriate
 
activity
 
to

customer
 
detriment,
 
including
 
the
 
adherence
 
to
 
regulatory
 
and
 
legal
 
requirements
 
on
 
complaint
 
handling.
 
The
Group
 
is
 
at

as
 
a
 
result.
c)
 
Product

and
 
the

throughout
 
their

However,
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
risk
 
that
the
 
design
 
and

fail
 
to
 
reasonably

which
 
may
 
result

damage.
 
Both
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
review
 
of
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
are
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
of
 
focus
 
for
 
regulators
 
and
 
the
 
Group,
 
and
 
this
 
focus
is
 
set
 
to
 
continue
 
in
 
2021.
d)
 
Financial
 
crime
The
 
Group
 
may
 
be
 
adversely
 
affected
 
if
 
it
 
fails
 
to
 
effectively
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
third
 
parties
 
or
 
its
 
employees
 
facilitate,
 
or
 
that
 
its
 
products
 
and
services
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
facilitate,
 
financial
 
crime
 
(money
 
laundering,
 
terrorist
 
financing,
 
breaches
 
of
 
economic
 
and
 
financial
 
sanctions,
 
bribery
 
and
corruption,
 
and
 
the
 
facilitation
 
of
 
tax
 
evasion).
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
regulations
 
covering
 
financial
 
institutions
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
combating
 
financial
crime.
 
Failure
 
to
 
comply
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
enforcement
 
action
 
by
 
the
 
Group’s
 
regulators,
 
including
 
severe
 
penalties,
 
which
 
may
 
have
 
a
 
material
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
e)
 
Regulatory
 
focus
 
on
 
culture
 
and
 
accountability
Regulators
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
continue
 
to
 
emphasise
 
the
 
importance
 
of
 
culture
 
and
 
personal
 
accountability
 
and
 
enforce
 
the
 
adoption
 
of
 
adequate
internal
 
reporting
 
and
 
whistleblowing
 
procedures
 
to
 
help
 
to
 
promote
 
appropriate
 
conduct
 
and
 
drive
 
positive
 
outcomes
 
for
 
customers,
 
colleagues,
clients
 
and
 
markets.
 
The
 
requirements
 
and
 
expectations
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
Senior
 
Managers
 
Regime,
 
Certification
 
Regime
 
and
 
Conduct
 
Rules
 
have
reinforced
 
additional
 
accountabilities
 
for
 
individuals
 
across
 
the
 
Group
 
with
 
an
 
increased
 
focus
 
on
 
governance
 
and
 
rigour.
 
Failure
 
to
 
meet
 
these
requirements
 
and
 
expectations
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
regulatory
 
sanctions,
 
both
 
for
 
the
 
individuals
 
and
 
the
 
Group.

vii)
 
Reputation
 
risk
Reputation
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
an
 
action,
 
transaction,
 
investment,
 
event,
 
decision
 
or
 
business
 
relationship
 
will
 
reduce
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
integrity
 
and/or
 
competence.
 
Any
 
material
 
lapse
 
in
 
standards
 
of
 
integrity,
 
compliance,
 
customer
 
service
 
or
 
operating
 
efficiency
 
may
 
represent
 
a
 
potential
 
reputation
 
risk.
Stakeholder
 
expectations
 
constantly
 
evolve,
 
and
 
so
 
reputation
 
risk
 
is
 
dynamic
 
and
 
varies
 
between
 
geographical
 
regions,
 
groups
 
and
 
individuals.
A
 
risk
 
arising
 
in
 
one
 
business
 
area
 
can
 
have
 
an
 
adverse
 
effect
 
upon
 
the
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
reputation
 
and
 
any
 
one
 
transaction,
 
investment
 
or
 
event
(in
 
the
 
perception
 
of
 
key
 
stakeholders)
 
can
 
reduce
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
integrity
 
and
 
competence.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
association
 
with
 
sensitive
 
topics
and
 
sectors
 
has
 
been,
 
and
 
in
 
some
 
instances
 
continues
 
to
 
be,
 
an
 
area
 
of
 
concern
 
for
 
stakeholders,
 
including
 
(i)
 
the
 
financing
 
of,
 
and
investments
 
in,
 
businesses
 
which
 
operate
 
in
 
sectors
 
that
 
are
 
sensitive
 
because
 
of
 
their
 
relative
 
carbon
 
intensity
 
or
 
local
 
environmental
 
impact;
(ii)
 
potential
 
association
 
with
 
human
 
rights
 
violations
 
(including
 
combating
 
modern
 
slavery)
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
operations
 
or
 
supply
 
chain
 
and
 
by
clients
 
and
 
customers;
 
and
 
(iii)
 
the
 
financing
 
of
 
businesses
 
which
 
manufacture
 
and
 
export
 
military
 
and
 
riot
 
control
 
goods
 
and
 
services.
Reputation
 
risk
 
could
 
also
 
arise
 
from
 
negative
 
public
 
opinion
 
about
 
the
 
actual,
 
or
 
perceived,
 
manner
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
conducts
 
its
 
business
activities,
 
or
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
performance,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
actual
 
or
 
perceived
 
practices
 
in
 
banking
 
and
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry
 
generally.
Modern
 
technologies,
 
in
 
particular
 
online
 
social
 
media
 
channels
 
and
 
other
 
broadcast
 
tools
 
that
 
facilitate
 
communication
 
with
 
large
 
audiences
 
in
short
 
time
 
frames
 
and
 
with
 
minimal
 
costs,
 
may
 
significantly
 
enhance
 
and
 
accelerate
 
the
 
distribution
 
and
 
effect
 
of
 
damaging
 
information
 
and
allegations.
 
Negative
 
public
 
opinion
 
may
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
retain
 
and
 
attract
 
customers,
 
in
 
particular,
 
corporate
 
and
 
retail
depositors,
 
and
 
to
 
retain
 
and
 
motivate
 
staff,
 
and
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
above,
 
reputation
 
risk
 
has
 
the
 
potential
 
to
 
arise
 
from
 
operational
 
issues
 
or
 
conduct
 
matters
 
which
 
cause
 
detriment
 
to
customers,
 
clients,
 
market
 
integrity,
 
effective
 
competition
 
or
 
the
 
Group
 
(see
 
“iv)
 
Operational
 
risk”
 
above).
 
For
 
further

on
 
the

viii)
 
Legal
 
risk
 
and
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
 
matters
The
 
Group
 
conducts
 
activities
 
in
 
a
 
highly
 
regulated
 
global
 
market
 
which
 
exposes
 
it
 
and
 
its
 
employees
 
to
 
legal
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
(i)
 
the
 
multitude
 
of
laws
 
and
 
regulations
 
that
 
apply
 
to
 
the
 
businesses
 
it
 
operates,
 
which
 
are
 
highly
 
dynamic,
 
may
 
vary
 
between
 
jurisdictions,
 
and
 
are
 
often
 
unclear
 
in
their
 
application
 
to
 
particular
 
circumstances
 
especially
 
in
 
new
 
and
 
emerging
 
areas;
 
and
 
(ii)
 
the
 
diversified
 
and
 
evolving
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
businesses
 
and
 
business
 
practices.
 
In
 
each
 
case,
 
this
 
exposes
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
its
 
employees
 
to
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
the
 
imposition
 
of
 
penalties,
damages
 
or
 
fines
 
from
 
the
 
failure
 
of
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
meet
 
their
 
respective
 
legal
 
obligations,
 
including
 
legal
 
or
 
contractual
 
requirements.
Legal
 
risk
 
may
 
arise
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
any
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
material
 
existing
 
and
 
emerging
 
risks
 
identified

out
 
in
 
Note
 
26.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
matters
specifically
 
described
 
in
 
Note
 
26,
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
engaged
 
in
 
various
 
other
 
legal
 
proceedings
 
which
 
arise
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary
 
course
 
of
 
business.
 
The
Group
 
is
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
requests
 
for
 
information,
 
investigations
 
and
 
other
 
reviews
 
by
 
regulators,

in
 
which
 
the

and
 
any
 
others
 
which
 
may
 
arise
 
in
the
 
future,
 
is
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
In
 
connection
 
with
 
such
 
matters,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
incur
 
significant
 
expense,
 
regardless
 
of
 
the
 
ultimate
 
outcome,
and
 
any

Overview
The
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
longstanding
 
commitment
 
to
 
Environmental
 
Risk
 
Management
 
(ERM)
 
and
 
its
 
approach,
 
aided
 
by
 
regulatory
 
initiatives,
 
has
continued
 
to
 
evolve,
 
incorporating
 
climate
 
change
 
in
 
recent
 
years
 
as
 
the
 
understanding
 
of
 
associated
 
risks
 
has
 
grown.
 
A
 
dedicated
Sustainability
 
team
 
considers
 
how
 
the
 
Group
 
approaches
 
wider
 
sustainability
 
and
 
environmental,
 
social
 
and
 
governance
 
(ESG)
 
matters,
 
working
closely
 
with
 
the
 
ERM
 
function.
In
 
2020
 
the
 
bank
 
has
 
implemented
 
a
 
Financial
 
and
 
Operational
 
Risks
 
of
 
Climate
 
Change
 
Plan
 
built
 
around
 
three
 
main
 
pillars:
 
1.
 
Embedding
 
climate
 
risk
 
into
 
Enterprise
 
Risk
 
Management
 
Framework
 
(ERMF),
 
via
 
the
 
Climate

Organisation
 
and
 
structure
On
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
the
 
BRC
 
reviews
 
and
 
approves
 
the
 
Group’s
 
approach
 
to
 
managing
 
the
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
climate
 
change.
 
Reputation
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
which
 
directly
 
handles
 
the
 
most
 
material
 
issues
 
facing
 
the
 
Group.
 
Broader
sustainability
 
matters
 
and
 
other
 
reputation
 
risk
 
issues
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change
 
are
 
co-ordinated
 
by
 
the
 
Sustainability
 
team.
Two
 
new
 
roles
 
were
 
introduced
 
in
 
2020:
 
a
 
Group
 
Head
 
of
 
Public
 
Policy
 
and
 
Corporate
 
Responsibility,
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
CEO;
 
and
 
a
 
Group
 
Head
of
 
Climate

appointed
 
to
 
develop
 
Barclays’
 
climate

and
 
manage
 
climate

in
 
the

W
 
orking
 
groups
 
have
 
been
established
 
to
 
support
 
management
 
of

Financial
 
and
 
Operational
 
Risks:
The
 
Group’s
‘Climate
 
Change
 
Financial
 
Risk
 
and
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
Policy’
 
considers
 
climate
 
change
 
as
 
an
 
overarching
 
risk
 
impacting
 
certain
principal
 
risks:
 
credit
 
risk,
 
market
 
risk,
 
treasury
 
&
 
capital
 
risk
 
and
 
operational
 
risk.
 
The

is
 
jointly
 
owned
 
by
 
the
 
relevant
 
Principal
 
Risk
Delegates
 
with
 
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
BRC.
 
The

was
 
implemented
 
in
 
2020,
 
including
 
being
 
embedded
 
across
 
28
 
policies
 
and
 
standards.
Each
 
relevant
 
Principal

has
 
developed
 
a

Credit
 
risk
 
mitigation
The
 
Group
 
employs
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
techniques
 
and
 
strategies
 
to
 
actively
 
mitigate
 
credit
 
risks.
 
These
 
can
 
broadly
 
be
 
divided
 
into
 
three
 
types:
 
netting
 
and
 
set-off
 
collateral
 
risk
 
transfer.
Netting
 
and
 
set-off
Credit
 
risk
 
exposures
 
can
 
be
 
reduced
 
by
 
applying
 
netting
 
and
 
set-off.
 
For
 
derivative
 
transactions,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
normal
 
practice
 
is,
 
on
 
a
 
legal
entity
 
basis,
 
to
 
enter
 
into
 
standard
 
master
 
agreements
 
with
 
counterparties
 
(e.g.
 
ISDAs).
 
These
 
master
 
agreements
 
typically
 
allow
 
for
 
netting
 
of
credit
 
risk
 
exposure
 
to
 
a
 
counterparty
 
resulting
 
from
 
derivative
 
transactions
 
against
 
the
 
obligations
 
to
 
the
 
counterparty
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default,
and
 
so
 
produce
 
a
 
lower
 
net
 
credit
 
exposure.
 
These
 
agreements
 
may
 
also
 
reduce
 
settlement
 
exposure
 
(e.g.
 
for
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
transactions)
by
 
allowing
 
payments
 
on
 
the
 
same
 
day
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
currency
 
to
 
be
 
set-off
 
against
 
one
 
another.
Collateral
The
 
Group
 
has
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
call
 
on
 
collateral
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default
 
of
 
the
 
counterparty,
 
comprising:
home
 
loans:
 
a
 
fixed
 
charge
 
over
 
residential
 
property
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
houses,
 
flats
 
and
 
other
 
dwellings;
wholesale
 
lending:
 
a
 
fixed
 
charge
 
over
 
commercial
 
property
 
and
 
other
 
physical
 
assets,
 
in
 
various
 
forms;
other
 
retail
 
lending:
 
includes
 
charges
 
over
 
motor
 
vehicles
 
and
 
other
 
physical
 
assets;
 
second
 
lien
 
charges
 
over
 
residential
 
property;
 
and
finance
 
lease
 
receivables;
derivatives:
 
the
 
Group
 
also
 
often
 
seeks
 
to
 
enter
 
into
 
a
 
margin
 
agreement
 
(e.g.
 
Credit
 
Support
 
Annex)
 
with
 
counterparties
 
with
 
which
 
the
Group
 
has
 
master
 
netting
 
agreements
 
in
 
place.
 
These
 
annexes
 
to
 
master
 
agreements
 
provide
 
a
 
mechanism
 
for
 
further
 
reducing
 
credit
 
risk,
whereby
 
collateral
 
(margin)
 
is
 
posted
 
on
 
a
 
regular
 
basis
 
(typically
 
daily)
 
to
 
collateralise
 
the
 
mark
 
to
 
market
 
exposure
 
of
 
a
 
derivative
 
portfolio
measured
 
on
 
a
 
net
 
basis;
reverse
 
repurchase
 
agreements:
 
collateral
 
typically
 
comprises
 
highly
 
liquid
 
securities
 
which
 
have
 
been
 
legally
 
transferred
 
to
 
the
 
Group
subject
 
to
 
an
 
agreement
 
to
 
return
 
them
 
for
 
a
 
fixed
 
price;
 
and
financial
 
guarantees
 
and
 
similar
 
off-balance
 
sheet
 
commitments:
 
cash
 
collateral
 
may
 
be
 
held
 
against
 
these
 
arrangements.
Risk
 
transfer
A
 
range
 
of
 
instruments
 
including
 
guarantees,
 
credit
 
insurance,
 
credit
 
derivatives
 
and
 
securitisation
 
can
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
transfer
 
credit
 
risk
 
from
 
one
counterparty
 
to
 
another.
 
These
 
mitigate
 
credit
 
risk
 
in
 
two
 
main
 
ways:
 
if
 
the
 
risk
 
is
 
transferred
 
to
 
a
 
counterparty
 
which
 
is
 
more
 
creditworthy
 
than
 
the
 
original
 
counterparty,
 
then
 
overall
 
credit
 
risk
 
is
 
reduced
 
where
 
recourse
 
to
 
the
 
first
 
counterparty
 
remains,
 
both
 
counterparties
 
must
 
default
 
before
 
a
 
loss
 
materialises.
 
This
 
is
 
less
 
likely
 
than
 
the
 
default
of
 
either
 
counterparty
 
individually
 
so
 
credit
 
risk
 
is
 
reduced.

The

oversee
 
the

across
 
several
 
areas,

i)
setting

key
 
assumptions
 
and
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
key
 
judgements;

policy

are
 
set
 
and
 
reviewed
 
regularly,
 
at
 
a
 
minimum
 
annually,
 
to
 
maintain
 
adherence
 
to
 
accounting
 
standards.
 
Key
judgements
 
inherent
 
in
 
policy,
 
including
 
the
 
estimated
 
life
 
of
 
revolving
 
credit
 
facilities
 
and
 
the
 
quantitative
 
criteria
 
for
 
assessing
 
the
 
significant
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
(SICR),
 
are
 
separately
 
supported
 
by
 
analytical
 
study.
 
In
 
particular,
 
the
 
quantitative
 
thresholds
 
used
 
for
 
assessing
 
SICR
are
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
internal
 
validation
 
criteria,
 
particularly
 
in
 
retail
 
portfolios
 
where
 
thresholds
 
decrease
 
as
 
the
 
origination
 
PD
 
of
 
each
facility
 
increases.
 
Key
 
policy
 
requirements
 
are
 
also
 
typically
 
aligned
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
credit
 
risk
 
management
 
strategy
 
and
 
practices,
 
for
example,
 
wholesale
 
customers
 
that
 
are
 
risk
 
managed
 
on
 
an
 
individual
 
basis
 
are
 
assessed
 
for
 
ECL
 
on
 
an
 
individual
 
basis
 
upon
 
entering
 
Stage
3;
 
furthermore,
 
key
 
internal
 
risk
 
management
 
indicators
 
of
 
high
 
risk
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
set
 
SICR
 
policy,
 
for
 
example,
 
retail
 
customers
 
identified
 
as
High

Overview
Market
 
risk
 
arises
 
primarily
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
client
 
facilitation
 
in
 
wholesale
 
markets,
 
involving
 
market
 
making
 
activities,
 
risk
 
management
 
solutions
and
 
execution
 
of
 
syndications.
 
Upon
 
execution
 
of
 
a
 
trade
 
with
 
a
 
client,
 
the
 
Group
 
will
 
look
 
to
 
hedge
 
against
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
trade
 
moving
 
in
 
an
adverse
 
direction.
 
Mismatches
 
between
 
client
 
transactions
 
and
 
hedges
 
result
 
in
 
market
 
risk
 
due
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
asset
 
prices,
 
volatility
 
or
correlations.

management
 
(IRRBB)
Overview
Interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
banking
 
book
 
is
 
driven
 
by
 
customer
 
deposit
 
taking
 
and
 
lending
 
activities,
 
investments
 
in
 
the
 
liquid
 
asset
 
portfolio
 
and
funding
 
activities.
 
As
 
per
 
the
 
Group’s
 
policy
 
to
 
remain
 
within
 
the
 
defined
 
risk
 
appetite,
 
hedging
 
strategies
 
are
 
executed
 
to
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risks.
However,
 
the
 
Group
 
remains
 
susceptible
 
to
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
and
 
other
 
non-traded
 
market
 
risks
 
from
 
key
 
sources:
Interest
 
rate
 
and
 
repricing
 
risk:
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
net
 
interest
 
income
 
could
 
be
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
interest
 
rates,
 
differences
 
in
 
the
timing
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
changes
 
between
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities,
 
and
 
other
 
constraints
 
on
 
interest
 
rate
 
changes
 
as
 
per
 
product
 
terms
 
and
conditions.
Customer
 
behavioural
 
risk:
the
 
risk
 
that
 
net
 
interest
 
income
 
could
 
be
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
the
 
discretion
 
that
 
customers
 
and
counterparties
 
may
 
have
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
being
 
able
 
to
 
vary
 
their
 
contractual
 
obligations
 
with
 
Barclays.
 
This
 
risk
 
is
 
often
 
referred
 
to
 
by
 
industry
regulators
 
as
 
‘embedded
 
option
 
risk’.
Investment
 
risks
 
in
 
the
 
liquid
 
asset
 
portfolio:
the
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
assets
 
held
 
in
 
the
 
liquid
 
asset
 
portfolio
 
and
 
associated
 
risk
management
 
portfolios
 
could
 
be
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
market
 
volatility,
 
creating
 
volatility
 
in
 
capital
 
directly.

Overview
The
 
management
 
of
 
operational
 
risk
 
has
 
three
 
key
 
objectives:
 
deliver
 
an
 
operational
 
risk
 
capability
 
owned
 
and
 
used
 
by
 
business
 
leaders
 
to
 
enable
 
sound
 
risk
 
decisions
 
over
 
the
 
long
 
term;
 
provide
 
the
 
frameworks,
 
policies
 
and
 
standards
 
to
 
enable
 
management
 
to
 
meet
 
their
 
risk
 
management
 
responsibilities
 
while
 
the
 
second
 
line
 
of
defence
 
provides
 
robust,
 
independent,
 
and
 
effective
 
oversight
 
and
 
challenge;
 
and
 
deliver
 
a
 
consistent
 
and
 
aggregated
 
measurement
 
of
 
operational
 
risk
 
that
 
will
 
provide
 
clear
 
and
 
relevant
 
insights,
 
so
 
that
 
the
 
right
management
 
actions
 
can
 
be
 
taken
 
to
 
keep
 
the
 
operational
 
risk
 
profile
 
consistent
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
strategy,
 
the
 
stated
 
risk
 
appetite
 
and
stakeholder
 
needs.
The
 
Group
 
operates
 
within
 
a
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
controls
 
that
 
enables
 
business
 
to
 
be
 
transacted
 
and
 
risk
 
taken
 
without
 
exposing
 
it
 
to
unacceptable
 
potential
 
losses
 
or
 
reputational
 
damages.
Organisation,
 
roles
 
and
 
responsibilities
The
 
prime
 
responsibility
 
for
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
operational
 
risk
 
and
 
the
 
compliance
 
with
 
control
 
requirements
 
rests
 
within
 
the
 
business
 
and
functional
 
units
 
where
 
the
 
risk
 
arises.
 
The
 
operational
 
risk
 
profile
 
and
 
control
 
environment
 
is
 
reviewed
 
by
 
management
 
through
 
business
 
risk
committees
 
and
 
control
 
committees.
 
Operational
 
risk
 
issues
 
escalated
 
from
 
these
 
meetings
 
are
 
considered
 
through
 
the
 
second
 
line
 
of
 
defence
review
 
meetings.
 
Depending
 
on
 
their
 
nature,
 
the
 
outputs
 
of
 
these
 
meetings
 
are
 
presented
 
to
 
the
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
Profile
 
Forum,
the
 
Operational
Risk
 
Committee,
 
the
 
BRC
 
or
 
the
 
BAC.
 
In
 
addition,
 
specific
 
reports
 
are
 
prepared
 
by
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
on
 
a
 
regular
 
basis
 
for
 
the
 
GRC
 
and
 
the
BRC.
Legal
 
entities,
 
businesses
 
and
 
functions
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
report
 
their
 
operational
 
risks
 
on
 
both
 
a
 
regular
 
and
 
an
 
event-driven
 
basis.
 
The
 
reports
include
 
a
 
profile
 
of
 
the
 
material
 
risks
 
that
 
may
 
threaten
 
the
 
achievement
 
of
 
their
 
objectives
 
and
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
key
 
controls,
 
operational
 
risk
events
 
and
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
scenarios.
The

operational
 
risk
 
profile.
 
The
 
Operational

alerts
 
management
 
when
 
risk
 
levels
 
exceed

Operational
 
risk
 
categories
Operational
 
risks
 
are
 
grouped
 
into
 
risk
 
categories
 
to
 
support
 
effective
 
risk
 
management,
 
measurement
 
and
 
reporting.
 
These
 
comprise:
 
Data

This
 
includes
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
failing
 
to:
 
adhere
 
to

Overview
The

to
 
support
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
activities,
 
including
 
informing

Since
 
models
 
are
 
imperfect
 
and
 
incomplete
 
representations
 
of

they
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
errors
 
affecting
 
the
 
accuracy
 
of
 
their

are
 
the
 
primary
 
sources
 
of
 
model
 
risk.

Overview
A
 
reduction
 
of
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
integrity
 
and
 
competence
 
may
 
reduce
 
the
 
attractiveness
 
of
 
the

to
 
stakeholders
 
and
 
could
 
lead
 
to
negative
 
publicity,
 
loss
 
of
 
revenue,
 
regulatory
 
or
 
legislative
 
action,
 
loss
 
of
 
existing
 
and
 
potential
 
client
 
business,
 
reduced
 
workforce
 
morale
 
and
difficulties
 
in

Ultimately

Legal
 
risk
 
management
 
The
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
imposition
 
of
 
penalties,
 
damages
 
or
 
fines
 
from
 
the
 
failure
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
legal
 
obligations
 
including
 
regulatory
 
or
contractual
 
requirements.
Overview
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
no
 
tolerance
 
for
 
wilful
 
breaches
 
of
 
laws,
 
regulations
 
or
 
other
 
legal
 
obligations.
 
However,
 
the
 
multitude
 
of
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations
across
 
the
 
globe
 
are
 
highly
 
dynamic
 
and
 
their
 
application
 
to
 
particular
 
circumstances
 
is
 
often
 
unclear.
 
This
 
results
 
in
 
a
 
high
 
level
 
of
 
inherent
legal
 
risk
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
seeks
 
to
 
mitigate
 
through
 
the
 
operation
 
of
 
a
 
Group-wide
 
legal
 
risk
 
management
 
framework,
 
including
 
the
implementation
 
of
 
Group-wide
 
legal
 
risk
 
policies
 
requiring
 
the
 
engagement
 
of
 
legal
 
professionals
 
in
 
situations
 
that
 
have
 
the
 
potential
 
for
 
legal
risk.
 
Notwithstanding
 
these
 
mitigating
 
actions,
 
the
 
Group
 
operates
 
with
 
a
 
level
 
of
 
residual
 
legal
 
risk,
 
for
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
limited
 
tolerance.
Organisation,
 
roles
 
and
 
responsibilities
The
 
Group’s

have
 
primary
 
responsibility
 
for

in
 
their

so
 
that
 
the

receives

The
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
increased
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
judgement
 
that
 
management
 
have
 
been
 
required
 
to
 
exercise
 
over
 
the
 
course
of
 
2020.
 
Customer
 
and
 
client
 
default
 
rates
 
have
 
remained
 
relatively
 
stable
 
despite
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
pandemic
 
and
 
volatile
 
macroeconomic
environment.
 
In
 
retail
 
cards,
 
credit
 
profiles
 
improved
 
or
 
were
 
stable
 
versus
 
pre-pandemic
 
levels
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
government
 
support
 
measures
 
and
customer
 
deleveraging.
 
In
 
wholesale,
 
furlough
 
and
 
liquidity
 
funding
 
schemes
 
are
 
supporting
 
businesses
 
through
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
with
 
limited
credit
 
deterioration.
 
This
 
lack
 
of
 
deterioration,
 
combined
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
with
 
improving
 
economics,
 
is
 
leading
 
to
 
large
 
scale
 
credit
 
loss
 
stock
releases
 
on
 
a
 
modelled
 
basis
 
in
 
pockets
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio.
 
Given
 
this
 
backdrop,
 
management
 
has
 
applied
 
COVID-19
 
specific
 
adjustments
 
to
modelled
 
outputs
 
to
 
ensure
 
the
 
full
 
potential
 
impacts
 
of
 
stress
 
are
 
provided
 
for.
 
These
 
adjustments
 
address
 
the
 
temporary
 
nature
 
of
 
ongoing
government
 
support,
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
timing
 
of
 
stress
 
and
 
the
 
degree
 
to
 
which
 
economic
 
consensus
 
has
 
yet
 
captured
 
the
 
range
of
 
economic
 
uncertainty,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the

Summary

period
Credit
 
impairment
 
charges
 
increased
 
to
 
£4,838m
 
(2019
 
£1,912m)
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
deterioration
 
in
 
economic
 
outlook
 
driven
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
global
pandemic.
 
The
 
current
 
year
 
charge
 
is
 
broadly
 
driven
 
by
 
£2,323m
 
of
 
non-default

customer

The
 
Expected
 
Credit

(ECL)
 
provision
 
remains
 
highly
 
uncertain
 
as
 
the

Overview
As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
net
 
exposure
 
to
 
credit
 
risk,
 
after
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
credit
 
risk
 
mitigation,
 
increased
 
by
 
10%
 
to
 
£876.8bn.
Overall,
 
the
 
extent
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
holds
 
mitigation
 
against
 
its
 
total
 
exposure
 
increased
 
to
 
46%
 
(2019:
 
43%).
Of
 
the
 
unmitigated
 
on
 
balance
 
sheet
 
exposure,
 
a
 
significant
 
portion
 
relates
 
to
 
cash
 
held
 
at
 
central
 
banks,
 
cash
 
collateral
 
and
 
settlement
balances,
 
and
 
debt
 
securities
 
issued
 
by
 
governments
 
all
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
lower
 
risk.
 
The
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
net
 
exposure
 
to
credit
 
risk
 
is
 
driven
 
by
 
increases
 
in
 
cash
 
held
 
at
 
central
 
banks,
 
cash
 
collateral
 
and
 
settlement
 
balances,
 
trading
 
portfolio
 
assets,
 
derivative
financial
 
instruments,
 
financial
 
assets
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income,
 
and
 
off
 
-balance
 
sheet
 
loan
 
commitments.
 
Trading
portfolio
 
liability
 
positions,
 
which
 
to
 
a
 
significant
 
extent
 
economically
 
hedge
 
trading
 
portfolio
 
assets
 
but
 
which
 
are
 
not
 
held
 
specifically
 
for
 
risk
management
 
purposes,
 
are
 
excluded
 
from
 
the
 
analysis.
 
The
 
credit
 
quality
 
of
 
counterparties
 
to
 
derivatives,
 
financial
 
investments
 
and
 
wholesale
loan
 
assets
 
are
 
predominantly
 
investment
 
grade.
 
Further
 
analysis
 
on
 
the
 
credit
 
quality
 
of
 
assets
 
is
 
presented
 
in
 
the
 
approach
 
to
 
management
and
 
representation
 
of
 
credit
 
quality
 
section.
Collateral
 
obtained
Where
 
collateral
 
has
 
been
 
obtained
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default,
 
the
 
Group
 
does
 
not,
 
ordinarily,
 
use
 
such
 
assets
 
for
 
its
 
own
 
operations
 
and
 
they
 
are
usually
 
sold
 
on
 
a
 
timely
 
basis.
 
The
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
assets
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
enforcement
 
of
collateral,
 
was

within

The

have
 
been
 
selected
 
based
 
upon
 
the
 
level
 
of

focus
 
they

The
 
gross
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
to
 
selected
 
sectors
 
have
 
increased
 
over
 
the
 
year
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
additional
 
drawdowns
 
on
 
committed
 
credit
 
lines
provided
 
by
 
the
 
bank.
 
Overall
 
limits
 
and
 
exposures
 
have
 
remained
 
broadly
 
stable
 
over
 
the
 
year
 
whilst
 
provisions
 
have
 
increased
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
heightened
 
stress.

These
 
reflect

changes
 
made
 
during

Barclays
 
continually
 
review
 
the
 
output
 
of
 
models
 
to
 
determine
 
accuracy
 
of
 
the
 
ECL
 
calculation
 
including

and
 
experience

operation
 
over
 
an

to
 
the

Finally,

Where

of
 
the

in

risk,
 
the
 
corresponding
 
gross

and
 
ECL
 
has
 
been
assigned
 
in

of
 
categories
 
presented.
Stage
 
2
 
exposures
 
are
 
predominantly
 
identified
 
using
 
quantitative
 
tests
 
where
 
the
 
lifetime
 
PD
 
has
 
deteriorated
 
more
 
than
 
a
 
pre-determined
amount
 
since
 
origination
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
driven
 
by
 
changes
 
in
 
macroeconomic
 
variables.
 
This
 
is
 
augmented
 
by
 
inclusion
 
of
 
accounts
 
meeting
the
 
designated
 
high
 
risk
 
criteria
 
(including
 
watchlist)
 
for
 
the
 
portfolio
 
under
 
the
 
qualitative
 
test.
 
Qualitative
 
tests
 
predominantly
 
include
 
£8.5bn
(2019:
 
£9.3bn)
 
in
 
Barclays
 
UK
 
of
 
which
 
£7.1bn
 
(2019:

Business

and
 
£0.1bn
 
(2019:
 
£0.4bn)
 
relates
 
to
 
Barclaycard
 
UK.
 
A
 
further
 
£3.3bn
 
(2019:
 
£3.4bn)
 
relates
 
to
 
Barclays
 
International
 
of
 
which
 
£2bn
 
(2019:
£1.7bn)
 
relates
 
to
 
Corporate

Bank,
 
£0.3bn
 
(2019:
 
£0.9bn)
 
relates
 
to
 
Barclaycard
 
International
 
and
 
£0.7bn
 
(2019:

Private
 
Bank.
A
 
small
 
number
 
of
 
other
 
accounts
 
(1%
 
of
 
impairment
 
allowances
 
and
 
5%
 
of

in

2.
 
These
 
accounts
 
are
 
not
otherwise
 
identified
 
by
 
the
 
quantitative
 
or
 
qualitative
 
tests
 
but
 
are
 
more
 
than
 
30
 
days
 
past
 
due.
 
The
 
percentage
 
triggered
 
by
 
these
 
backstop
criteria
 
is
 
a
 
measure
 
of
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Stage
 
2
 
criteria
 
in
 
identifying
 
deterioration
 
prior

These

include
 
items
 
in

Economic

The
 
pandemic
 
impacted
 
the
 
global
 
economy
 
throughout
 
2020
 
and
 
macroeconomic
 
forecasts
 
indicate
 
longer
 
term
 
impacts
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
higher
unemployment
 
levels
 
and
 
customer
 
and
 
client
 
stress.
 
However,
 
to
 
date,
 
little
 
real
 
credit
 
deterioration
 
has
 
occurred,
 
largely
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
government
 
and
 
bank
 
support.
 
Observed
 
30
 
day
 
arrears
 
rates
 
in
 
consumer

in

have
 
remained

in
 
both
 
US
 
cards
 
(2020:
2.5%;
 
2019:
 
2.7%)
 
and
 
UK
 
cards
 
(2020:
 
1.7%;
 
2019:
 
1.7%).
 
A
 
similar
 
phenomenon
 
is
 
observed
 
in
 
wholesale,
 
where
 
the
 
average
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
the
 
portfolio
 
has
 
broadly
 
remained
 
stable
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
and
 
has
 
not
 
deteriorated
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
crisis.
 
Given
 
this
 
backdrop,
 
management
 
has
 
applied
 
COVID-19
 
specific
 
adjustments
 
to
 
modelled
 
outputs
 
to
 
ensure
 
the
 
full
 
potential
 
impacts
 
of
 
stress
are
 
provided
 
for.
 
These
 
adjustments
 
address
 
the
 
temporary
 
nature
 
of
 
ongoing
 
government
 
support,
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
timing
 
of
stress
 
and
 
the
 
degree
 
to
 
which
 
economic
 
consensus
 
has
 
not
 
yet
 
captured
 
the
 
range
 
of
 
economic
 
uncertainty.
The
 
COVID-19
 
adjustments
 
of
 
£2.1bn
 
broadly
 
comprised
 
the

analysis
The
 
measurement
 
of
 
ECL
 
involves
 
complexity
 
and
 
judgement,
 
including
 
estimation
 
of
 
probabilities
 
of
 
default
 
(PD),
 
loss
 
given
 
default
 
(LGD),
 
a
range

of

estimation
 
of

at

(EAD)
 
and
 
assessing
 
significant
increases
 
in
 
credit
 
risk.
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
a
 
five-scenario
 
model
 
to
 
calculate
 
ECL.
 
An
 
external
 
consensus
 
forecast
 
is
 
assembled
 
from
 
key
 
sources,
 
including
 
HM
 
Treasury
(short
 
and
 
medium
 
term
 
forecasts),
 
Bloomberg
 
(based
 
on
 
median
 
of
 
economic
 
forecasts)
 
and
 
the
 
Urban
 
Land
 
Institute
 
(for
 
US
 
House
 
Prices),
which
 
forms
 
the
 
Baseline
 
scenario.
 
In
 
addition,
 
two
 
adverse
 
scenarios
 
(Downside
 
1
 
and
 
Downside
 
2)
 
and
 
two
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
(Upside
 
1
and
 
Upside
 
2)
 
are
 
derived,
 
with
 
associated
 
probability
 
weightings.
 
The
 
adverse
 
scenarios
 
are
 
calibrated
 
to
 
a
 
broadly
 
similar
 
severity
 
to
 
Barclays’
internal
 
stress
 
tests
 
and
 
stress
 
scenarios
 
provided
 
by
 
regulators
 
whilst
 
also
 
considering
 
IFRS
 
9
 
specific
 
sensitivities
 
and
 
non-linearity.
 
Downside
2
 
is
 
benchmarked
 
to
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England’s
 
stress
 
scenarios
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
most
 
severe
 
scenario
 
from
 
Moody’s
 
inventory,
 
but
 
is
 
not
 
designed
 
to
 
be
the
 
same.
 
The
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
are
 
calibrated
 
to
 
reflect
 
upside
 
risks
 
to
 
the
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
is
 
broadly
 
consistent
 
with
recent
 
favourable
 
benchmark
 
scenarios.
 
All
 
scenarios
 
are
 
regenerated
 
at
 
a
 
minimum
 
semi-annually.
 
The
 
scenarios
 
include
 
eight
 
economic
variables,
 
(GDP,
 
unemployment,
 
House
 
Price
 
Index
 
(HPI)
 
and
 
base
 
rates
 
in
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
markets),
 
and
 
expanded
 
variables
 
using
statistical
 
models
 
based
 
on
 
historical
 
correlations.
 
The
 
upside
 
and
 
downside
 
shocks
 
are
 
designed
 
to
 
evolve
 
over
 
a
 
five-year
 
stress
 
horizon,
 
with
all
 
five
 
scenarios
 
converging
 
to
 
a
 
steady
 
state
 
after
 
approximately
 
eight
 
years.
Scenarios
 
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ECL
 
charge
 
were
 
reviewed
 
and
 
updated
 
regularly
 
throughout
 
2020,
 
following
 
the
 
outbreak
 
of
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
in
 
the
 
first
 
quarter.
 
The
 
current
 
Baseline
 
scenario
 
reflects
 
the
 
latest
 
consensus
 
economic
 
forecasts
 
with
 
a
 
steady
 
recovery
in
 
GDP
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
US,
 
and
 
unemployment
 
continuing
 
to
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
and
 
peaking
 
at
 
Q221
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
followed
 
by
 
a
 
steady
 
decline.
In
 
the
 
downside
 
scenarios,
 
an
 
economic
 
downturn
 
in
 
early
 
2021
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
US
 
begins
 
to
 
recover
 
later
 
in
 
the
 
year,
 
with
 
unemployment
increasing
 
to
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021.
 
In
 
the
 
upside
 
scenarios,
 
the
 
strong
 
rebound
 
in
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
GDP
 
continues
 
into
 
2021,
 
following
 
the
 
bounce-back
 
in
growth
 
in
 
Q320
 
and,
 
subsequently,
 
the
 
projections
 
stay
 
above
 
the
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
growth
 
rates
 
seen
 
in
 
the
 
Baseline
 
for
 
a
 
prolonged
 
period
 
of
 
time
before
 
finally
 
reverting
 
to
 
the
 
long
 
term
 
run
 
rate.
 
This
 
reflects
 
the
 
assumption
 
of
 
approved
 
vaccines
 
being
 
successfully
 
rolled
 
out
 
throughout
2021
 
and
 
pent
 
up
 
savings
 
being
 
deployed
 
into
 
a
 
more
 
certain
 
consumer
 
environment
 
to
 
drive
 
significant
 
growth.
 
Scenario
 
weights
 
have
 
been
updated
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
latest
 
economics.
 
As
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
government
 
and
 
bank
 
support
 
measures,
 
significant
 
credit
 
deterioration
 
has
 
not
 
yet
 
occurred.
 
This
 
delay
 
increases
 
uncertainty
 
on
the
 
timing
 
of
 
the
 
stress
 
and
 
the
 
realisation
 
of
 
defaults.
 
Management
 
has
 
applied
 
COVID-19
 
specific
 
adjustments
 
to
 
modelled
 
outputs
 
to
 
reflect
the
 
temporary
 
nature
 
of
 
ongoing
 
government
 
support,
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
timing
 
of
 
stress
 
and
 
the
 
degree
 
to
 
which
 
economic
consensus
 
has
 
yet
 
captured
 
the
 
range
 
of
 
economic
 
uncertainty,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
UK.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
ECL
 
is
 
higher
 
than
 
would
 
be
 
the
 
case
 
if
 
it
were
 
based
 
on
 
the

economic
 
scenarios
 
alone.
Scenario
 
weights
 
(audited)
The
 
methodology
 
for
 
estimating
 
probability
 
weights
 
for
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
scenarios
 
involves
 
a
 
comparison
 
of
 
the
 
distribution
 
of
 
key
 
historical
 
UK
 
and
US
 
macroeconomic
 
variables
 
against
 
the
 
forecast
 
paths
 
of
 
the
 
five
 
scenarios.
 
The
 
methodology
 
works
 
such
 
that
 
the
 
Baseline
 
(reflecting
 
current
consensus
 
outlook)
 
has
 
the
 
highest
 
weight
 
and
 
the
 
weights
 
of
 
adverse
 
and
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
depend
 
on
 
the
 
deviation
 
from
 
the
 
Baseline;
 
the
further
 
from
 
the
 
Baseline,
 
the
 
smaller
 
the
 
weight.
 
This
 
is
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
table
 
below
 
where
 
the
 
probability
 
weights
 
of
 
the
 
scenarios
 
are
 
shown.
 
A
single
 
set
 
of
 
five
 
scenarios
 
is
 
used
 
across
 
all
 
portfolios
 
and
 
all
 
five
 
weights
 
are
 
normalised
 
to
 
equate
 
to
 
100%.
 
The
 
same
 
scenarios
 
and
 
weights
that
 
are
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
estimation
 
of
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses
 
are
 
also
 
used
 
for
 
Barclays
 
internal
 
planning
 
purposes.
 
The
 
impacts
 
across
 
the
 
portfolios
are
 
different
 
because
 
of
 
the
 
sensitivities
 
of
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
portfolios
 
to
 
specific
 
macroeconomic
 
variables,
 
for
 
example,
 
mortgages
 
are
 
highly
sensitive
 
to
 
house
 
prices,
 
credit
 
cards
 
and
 
unsecured
 
consumer
 
loans
 
are
 
highly
 
sensitive
 
to
 
unemployment.
The
 
range
 
of
 
forecast
 
paths
 
generated
 
in
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
the
 
weights
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
is
 
much
 
wider
 
than
 
in
 
previous
 
periods
 
due
 
to
 
the
uncertainty
 
caused
 
by
 
COVID-19,
 
thus
 
the
 
Upside
 
and
 
Downside
 
scenarios
 
are
 
further
 
away
 
from
 
the
 
tails
 
of
 
the
 
distribution
 
than
 
previously,
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
more
 
even
 
spread
 
of
 
weights
 
than
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2019.
 
The
 
economic

remains

(including

it

to
 
the

Model
 
exposure
 
uses
 
exposure

values
 
and
 
is
 
not
 
directly
 
comparable
 
to
 
gross

used
 
in
prior
 
disclosures.
 
For
 
Credit
 
cards,
 
unsecured
 
loans
 
and
 
other
 
retail
 
lending,
 
an
 
average
 
EAD
 
measure
 
is
 
used
 
(12
 
month
 
or
 
lifetime,
 
depending
on

allocation
 
in

Therefore,
 
the
 
model
 
exposure
 
movement
 
into
 
Stage

is
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
corresponding

reduction.
All

included,
 
with
 
the

of
 
Treasury

only
 
on

of

as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
and
 
not
 
on
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios.
The
 
Downside
 
2
 
scenario
 
represents
 
a
 
severe
 
global
 
recession
 
with
 
substantial
 
falls
 
in
 
both
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
GDP.
 
Unemployment
 
in
 
UK
 
markets
rises
 
towards
 
10%
 
and
 
US
 
markets
 
rises
 
towards
 
14%
 
and
 
there
 
are
 
substantial
 
falls
 
in
 
asset
 
prices
 
including
 
housing.
 
Under
 
the
 
Downside
 
2
scenario,
 
model
 
exposure
 
moves
 
between
 
stages
 
as
 
the
 
economic
 
environment
 
weakens.
 
This
 
can
 
be
 
seen
 
in
 
the
 
movement
 
of
 
£27bn
 
of
 
model
exposure
 
into
 
Stage
 
2
 
between
 
the
 
Weighted
 
and
 
Downside
 
2
 
scenario.
 
ECL
 
increases
 
in
 
Stage
 
2
 
predominantly
 
due
 
to
 
unsecured
 
portfolios
 
as
economic

deteriorate.

Analysis
 
of
 
the
 
concentration
 
of
 
credit
 
risk
A
 
concentration
 
of
 
credit
 
risk
 
exists
 
when
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
counterparties
 
are
 
located
 
in
 
a
 
common
 
geographical
 
region
 
or
 
are
 
engaged
 
in
 
similar
activities
 
and
 
have
 
similar
 
economic
 
characteristics
 
that
 
would
 
cause
 
their
 
ability
 
to
 
meet
 
contractual
 
obligations
 
to
 
be
 
similarly
 
affected
 
by
changes
 
in
 
economic
 
or
 
other
 
conditions.
 
The
 
Group
 
implements
 
limits
 
on
 
concentrations
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risk.
 
The
 
analyses
 
of
 
credit
 
risk
concentrations
 
presented
 
below
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
location
 
of
 
the
 
counterparty

customer
 
or
 
the
 
industry
 
in
 
which
 
they
 
are
 
engaged.

12-month

For
 
retail
 
clients,
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
analytical
 
tools
 
is
 
used
 
to
 
derive
 
the
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
of
 
clients
 
at
 
inception
 
and
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
For
 
loans
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
past
 
due,
 
these
 
descriptions
 
can
 
be
 
summarised
 
as
 
follows:
Strong:
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
very
 
high
 
likelihood
 
of
 
the
 
asset
 
being
 
recovered
 
in
 
full.
Satisfactory:
 
while
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
high
 
likelihood
 
that
 
the
 
asset
 
will
 
be
 
recovered
 
and
 
therefore,
 
of
 
no
 
cause
 
for
 
concern
 
to
 
the
 
Group,
 
the
 
asset
 
may
not
 
be
 
collateralised,
 
or
 
may
 
relate
 
to
 
unsecured
 
retail
 
facilities.
 
At
 
the
 
lower
 
end
 
of
 
this
 
grade
 
there
 
are
 
customers
 
that
 
are
 
being
 
more
 
carefully
monitored,
 
for
 
example,
 
corporate
 
customers
 
which
 
are
 
indicating
 
some
 
evidence
 
of
 
deterioration,
 
mortgages
 
with
 
a
 
high
 
loan
 
to
 
value,
 
and
unsecured
 
retail
 
loans
 
operating
 
outside
 
normal
 
product
 
guidelines.
Higher
 
risk:
 
there
 
is
 
concern
 
over
 
the
 
obligor’s
 
ability
 
to
 
make
 
payments
 
when
 
due.
 
However,
 
these
 
have
 
not
 
yet
 
converted
 
to
 
actual
delinquency.
 
There
 
may
 
also
 
be
 
doubts
 
over
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
collateral
 
or
 
security
 
provided.
 
However,
 
the
 
borrower
 
or
 
counterparty
 
is
 
continuing
 
to
make
 
payments
 
when
 
due
 
and
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
settle
 
all
 
outstanding
 
amounts
 
of
 
principal
 
and
 
interest.
Loans
 
that
 
are
 
past
 
due
 
are
 
monitored
 
closely,
 
with
 
impairment
 
allowances
 
raised
 
as
 
appropriate
 
and
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
impairment
policies.

assets
 
held
 
at

the

will
 
include,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
the

of
 
the

Most
 
listed

Where
 
such

are
 
not
 
available
 
or
 
are
 
not
 
current,
 
the

will
 
use
 
its
 
own
 
internal

for

Within
 
the
 
UK
 
home
 
loans
 
portfolio:
 
Gross
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
increased
 
by
 
£5.1bn
 
(3.6%)
 
following
 
increases
 
across
 
both
 
Residential
 
(3.1%)
 
and
 
Buy
 
to
 
Let
 
(BTL)
 
(6.6%)
books.
 
 
Owner-occupied
 
interest-only
 
home
 
loans
 
comprised
 
22.1%
 
(2019:
 
23.4%)
 
of
 
total
 
balances.
 
The
 
average
 
balance

LTV
 
on
 
owner
 
occupied
 
loans
 
dropped
 
to
 
49.9%
 
(2019:
 
50.2%).
 
The
 
primary
 
driver
 
of
 
the
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
LTV
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
was
 
strong
 
UK
 
house
 
price
 
growth
 
through
 
2020
 
particularly
 
following
 
the
 
buoyant
 
purchase
 
market
 
in
 
Q3
 
and
 
Q4.
 
In
 
addition,
new
 
high
 
LTV
 
lending
 
was
 
greatly
 
reduced.
 
BTL
 
home
 
loans
 
comprised
 
14.0%
 
(2019:
 
13.6%)
 
of
 
total
 
balances.
 
In
 
BTL,
 
the
 
average
 
balance
 
weighted
 
LTV
 
dropped
 
to
 
55.3%
 
(2019:

primarily
 
driven

32%,

an
 
increase

Wholesale

recognise
 
that
 
forecast
 
losses
 
from
 
different
 
assets
 
or
 
businesses
 
are
 
unlikely
 
to
 
occur
 
concurrently,
 
hence
 
the
 
expected
 
aggregate
 
loss
 
is
 
lower
 
than
 
the
sum
 
of
 
the
 
expected
 
losses
 
from
 
each
 
area.
 
Historical
 
correlations
 
between
 
losses
 
are
 
taken
 
into
 
account
 
in
 
making
 
these
 
assessments.
 
The
 
high
 
and
 
low
 
VaR
 
figures
reported
 
for
 
each
 
category
 
did
 
not
 
necessarily
 
occur

day
 
as
 
the
 
high
 
and
 
low
 
VaR
 
reported
 
as
 
a
 
whole.
 
Consequently,
 
a
 
diversification
 
effect
 
balance
 
for
 
the
 
high
and
 
low
 
VaR
 
figures
 
would
 
not
 
be
 
meaningful
 
and

Summary
 
of
 
performance
The
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
at
 
£266bn
 
(December
 
2019:
 
£211
 
bn)
 
reflects
 
the
 
Group’s
 
prudent
 
approach
 
to
 
liquidity
 
management.
 
The
 
Liquidity
 
Coverage
Ratio
 
(LCR)
 
remained
 
well
 
above
 
the
 
100%
 
regulatory
 
requirement
 
at
 
162%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
160%),
 
equivalent
 
to
 
a
 
surplus
 
of
 
£99bn
(December
 
2019:
 
£78bn).
 
The
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool,
 
LCR
 
and
 
surplus
 
over
 
the
 
year
 
was
 
driven
 
by
 
a
 
16%
 
growth
 
in
 
deposits,
 
which
 
was
largely
 
a
 
consequence
 
of
 
government
 
and
 
central
 
bank
 
policy
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
The
 
reduction
 
in
 
Q420
 
reflects
 
actions
taken
 
to
 
manage
 
down
 
surplus
 
liquidity
 
proactively
 
as
 
the
 
prevailing
 
uncertainty
 
from
 
earlier
 
in
 
the
 
year
 
abated.
During
 
the
 
year,
 
the
 
Group
 
issued
 
£7.9bn
 
of
 
minimum
 
requirement
 
for
 
own
 
funds
 
and
 
eligible
 
liabilities
 
(MREL)
 
instruments
 
in
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
tenors
and
 
currencies.

Barclays

continued
 
to
 
issue
 
in
 
the
shorter-term

and

an
 
active

This
 
funding
 
capacity
 
enables
 
the
 
respective
 
entities
 
maintain
 
their
stable
 
and
 
diversified
 
funding
 
bases.
The
 
Group’s
 
reliance
 
on
 
short-term
 
wholesale
 
funding,
 
as
 
measured
 
by
 
the
 
proportion
 
of
 
wholesale
 
funding
 
maturing
 
in
 
less
 
than
 
one
 
year
 
was
broadly
 
flat
 
year-on-year.
 
At
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
it
 
was
 
29%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
28%).

Management
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
The
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
limits
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
the
 
independent
 
liquidity
 
risk,
 
credit
 
risk
 
and
 
market
 
risk
 
functions.
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
investment
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
is
 
monitored
 
for
 
concentration
 
risk
 
by
 
issuer,
 
currency
 
and
 
asset
 
type.
 
Given
 
the
 
returns
generated
 
by
 
these
 
highly
 
liquid
 
assets,
 
the
 
risk
 
and
 
reward
 
profile
 
is
 
continuously
 
managed.
As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
64%
 
(2019:
 
67%)
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
was
 
located
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC,
 
23%
 
(2019:
 
20%)
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
and
 
7%
 
(2019:
 
6%)
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC.
 
The
 
residual
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
is
 
held
 
outside
 
of
 
these
 
entities,
 
predominantly
 
in
 
the
US
 
subsidiaries,
 
to
 
meet
 
entity-specific
 
stress
 
outflows
 
and
 
local
 
regulatory
 
requirements.
 
To
 
the
 
extent
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
this
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
pool
 
is
 
restricted
 
due
 
to
 
local
 
regulatory
 
requirements,
 
it
 
is
 
assumed
 
to
 
be
 
unavailable
 
to
 
the
 
rest
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
calculating
 
the
 
LCR.
Contingent
 
liquidity
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
liquidity
 
pool,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
access
 
to
 
other
 
unencumbered
 
assets
 
which
 
provide
 
a
 
source
 
of
 
contingent
 
liquidity.
While
 
these
 
are
 
not
 
relied
 
on
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
LRA,
 
a
 
portion
 
of
 
these
 
assets
 
may
 
be
 
monetised
 
in
 
a
 
stress
 
to
 
generate
 
liquidity
 
through
 
their
 
use
as
 
collateral
 
for
 
secured
 
funding
 
or
 
through
 
outright
 
sale.
In
 
a
 
Barclays-specific,
 
m
 
arket-wide
 
or
 
combined
 
liquidity
 
stress,
 
liquidity
 
available
 
via
 
market
 
sources
 
could
 
be
 
severely
 
disrupted.
 
In
circumstances
 
where
 
market
 
liquidity
 
is
 
unavailable
 
or
 
available
 
only
 
at
 
significantly
 
elevated
 
prices,
 
the
 
Group
 
could
 
generate
 
liquidity
 
via
central
 
bank
 
facilities.
 
To
 
this
 
end,
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
Group
 
had
 
£99.2bn
 
(December
 
2019:
 
79.7bn)
 
of
 
assets
 
prepositioned
 
at
various
 
central
 
banks.

Funding
 
structure
 
and
 
funding
 
relationships
The
 
basis
 
for
 
sound
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
management
 
is
 
a
 
funding
 
structure
 
that
 
reduces
 
the
 
probability
 
of
 
a
 
liquidity
 
stress
 
leading
 
to
 
an
 
inability
 
to
meet
 
funding
 
obligations
 
as
 
they
 
fall
 
due.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
funding
 
strategy
 
is
 
to
 
develop
 
a
 
diversified
 
funding
 
base
 
(geographically,
 
by
 
type
and
 
by
 
counterparty)
 
and
 
maintain
 
access
 
to
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
alternative
 
funding
 
sources,
 
to
 
provide
 
protection
 
against
 
unexpected
 
fluctuations,
while
 
minimising
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
funding.
Within
 
this,
 
the
 
Group
 
aims
 
to
 
align
 
the
 
sources
 
and
 
uses
 
of
 
funding.
 
As
 
such,
 
retail
 
and
 
corporate
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
are
 
largely
 
funded
 
by
deposits
 
in
 
the
 
relevant
 
entities,
 
with
 
the
 
surplus
 
primarily
 
funding
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool.
 
The
 
majority
 
of
 
reverse
 
repurchase
 
agreements
 
are
 
matched
by
 
repurchase
 
agreements.
 
Derivative
 
liabilities
 
and
 
assets
 
are
 
largely
 
matched.
 
A
 
substantial
 
proportion
 
of
 
balance
 
sheet
 
derivative
 
positions
qualify
 
for
 
counterparty
 
netting
 
and
 
the
 
remaining
 
portions
 
are
 
largely
 
offset
 
when
 
netted
 
against
 
cash
 
collateral
 
received
 
and
 
paid.
 
Wholesale
debt
 
and
 
equity
 
is
 
used
 
to
 
fund
 
residual
 
assets.

As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
£209bn
 
(2019:
 
£181bn)
 
of
 
total
 
customer
 
deposits
 
were
 
insured
 
through
 
the
 
UK
 
Financial
 
Services
 
Compensation
Scheme
 
(FSCS)
 
and
 
other
 
similar
 
schemes.
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
these
 
customer
 
deposits
 
£2bn
 
(2019:
 
£4bn)
 
of
 
other
 
liabilities
 
are
 
insured
 
by
 
other
governments.
Contractually
 
current
 
accounts
 
are
 
repayable
 
on
 
demand
 
and
 
savings
 
accounts
 
at
 
short
 
notice.
 
In
 
practice,
 
their
 
observed
 
maturity
 
is
 
typically
longer
 
than
 
their
 
contractual
 
maturity.
 
Similarly,
 
repayment
 
profiles
 
of
 
certain
 
types
 
of
 
assets
 
e.g.
 
mortgages,
 
overdrafts
 
and
 
credit
 
card
 
lending,
differ
 
from
 
their
 
contractual
 
profiles.
 
The
 
Group
 
therefore
 
assesses
 
the
 
behavioural
 
maturity
 
of
 
both
 
customer
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
to
 
identify
structural
 
balance
 
sheet
 
funding
 
gaps.
 
In
 
doing
 
so,
 
it
 
applies
 
quantitative
 
modelling
 
and
 
qualitative
 
assessments
 
which
 
take
 
into
 
account
historical
 
experience,
 
current
 
customer
 
composition,
 
and
 
macroeconomic
 
projections.
The
 
Group’s
 
broad
 
base
 
of
 
customers,
 
numerically
 
and
 
by
 
depositor
 
type,
 
helps
 
protect
 
against
 
unexpected
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
balances
 
and
 
hence
provides
 
a
 
stable
 
funding
 
base
 
for
 
the
 
Group’s
 
operations
 
and
 
liquidity
 
needs.

and
 
maintains
 
an
 
active
 
secured

This
 
funding
 
capacity
 
enables
 
the
 
respective
 
entities
 
maintain
 
their
 
stable
 
and

funding
 
bases.

at
 
31

2020,
 
the

total
 
wholesale
 
funding
 
outstanding
 
(excluding

agreements)
 
was
 
£145.0bn
 
(2019:
 
£147.1bn),
of
 
which
 
£17.1bn
 
(2019:

of
 
£42.7bn
 
(2019:

matures
 
in
 
less
 
than
 
one

representing
 
29%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
28%)
 
of
 
total

related
 
to

Although
 
not
 
a

the

exceeded
 
the

Summary
 
of
 
performance
 
in
 
the
 
period
The
 
Group
continues
 
to
 
be
 
in
 
excess
 
of
 
overall
 
capital
 
requirements,
 
minimum
 
leverage
 
requirements
 
and
 
MREL
 
requirements.
The
 
CET1
 
ratio
 
increased
 
to
 
15.1%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
13.8%).
CET1
 
capital
 
increased
 
by
 
£5.5bn
 
to
 
£46.3bn
 
reflecting
 
resilient
 
capital
 
generation
 
through
 
£7.9bn
 
of
 
profit
 
before
 
tax,
 
excluding
 
credit
impairment
 
charges
 
of
 
£4.8bn,
 
and
 
a
 
£1.0bn
 
increase
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
cancellation
 
of
 
the
 
full
 
year
 
2019
 
dividend.
 
These
 
increases
 
were
 
partially
offset
 
by
 
£0.9bn
 
of
 
AT1
 
coupons
 
paid
 
and
 
the
 
announced
 
1.0p
 
full
 
year
 
2020
 
dividend.
 
The
 
CET1
 
capital
 
increase
 
also
 
reflects
 
regulatory
measures
 
for
 
IFRS
 
9
 
transitional
 
relief,
 
prudent
 
valuation
 
and
 
qualifying
 
software
 
assets.
RWAs
 
increased
 
by
 
£11.1
 
bn
 
to
 
£306.2bn
 
primarily
 
due
 
to
 
higher
 
market
 
volatility,
 
increased
 
client
 
activity
 
and
 
a
 
reduction
 
in
 
credit
 
quality
 
within
CIB,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
lower
 
consumer
 
lending.
The
 
average
 
UK
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
increased
 
to
 
5.0%
 
(December
 
2019:
 
4.5%)
 
primarily
 
driven
 
by
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
T1
 
capital.
 
The
 
average
 
leverage
exposure
 
increased
 
to
 
£1,147bn
 
(December
 
2019:
 
£1,143bn)
 
primarily
 
driven
 
by
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
Securities
 
Financing
 
Transactions
 
(SFTs)
 
and
Trading
 
Portfolio
 
Assets
 
(TPAs)
 
largely
 
driven
 
by
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
secured
 
lending
 
and
 
client
 
activity
 
within
 
CIB,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
the
 
PRA’s
 
early
adoption
 
of
 
CRR
 
II

netting.

and
 
a
 
0.0%
 
Countercyclical

(CCyB).
The

is
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
buffer
 
rate
 
applicable
 
for
 
each
 
jurisdiction
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
exposures.
 
On
 
11
 
March
 
2020,
 
the
Financial
 
Policy
 
Committee
 
(FPC)
 
set
 
the
 
CCyB
 
rate
 
for
 
UK
 
exposures
 
at
 
0%
 
with
 
immediate
 
effect.
 
The

rates
 
set
 
by
 
other
 
national
authorities
 
for
 
non-UK
 
exposures
 
are
 
not
 
currently
 
material.
 
Overall,
 
this
 
results
 
in
 
a
 
0.0%
 
CCyB
 
for
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
Group’s

per
 
the
 
PRA’s

4.8%
 
of
 
which
 
at
 
least
 
56.25%
 
needs
 
to
 
be
 
met
 
with
CET1
 
capital,
 
equating
 
to
 
approximately
 
2.7%
 
of
 
RWAs.
 
The
 
Pillar
 
2A
 
requirement
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
at
 
least
 
annual
 
review
 
and
 
has
 
been
 
set
 
as
 
a
nominal
 
capital
 
amount.
 
This
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
point
 
in
 
time
 
assessment
 
and
 
the
 
requirement
 
(when
 
expressed
 
as
 
a
 
proportion
 
of
 
RWAs)
 
will
change
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
total
 
RWAs
 
at
 
each
 
reporting
 
period.
 
Minimum
 
leverage
 
requirements
The
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
requirement
 
of
 
3.8%
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
This
 
comprises
 
the
 
3.25%
 
minimum
 
requirement,
 
a
 
G-SII
additional
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
buffer
 
(G-SII
 
ALRB)
 
of
 
0.53%
 
and
 
a
 
countercyclical
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
buffer
 
of
 
0.0%.
 
Although
 
the
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
is
expressed
 
in
 
terms
 
of
 
T1
 
capital,
 
75%
 
of
 
the
 
minimum
 
requirement,
 
equating
 
to
 
2.4375%,
 
needs
 
to
 
be
 
met
 
with
 
CET1
 
capital.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
G-
SII
 
ALRB
 
must
 
be
 
covered
 
solely
 
with
 
CET1

The
 
CET1
 
capital
 
held
 
against
 
the
 
0.53%
 
G-SII
 
ALRB

the

On
 
23
 
December
 
2020,
 
a
 
new
 
regulatory
 
technical
 
standard
 
on
 
the
 
prudential
 
treatment
 
of
 
qualifying
 
software
 
assets
 
was
 
adopted
 
into
 
EU
 
law
replacing
 
the
 
CET1
 
capital
 
deduction
 
with
 
prudential
 
amortisation
 
up
 
to
 
a
 
3-year
 
period.
 
Intangible
 
assets
 
that
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
deducted
 
are
subject
 
to
 
100%
 
risk
 
weight
 
instead.
 
Following
 
its
 
stated
 
intention
 
to
 
consult,
 
on
 
12
 
February
 
2021
 
the
 
PRA
 
launched
 
a
 
consultation
 
on
 
certain
 
items
 
within
 
the
 
Basel

that
remain

as
 
well
 
as
 
setting
 
out
 
proposed

The

include
 
reverting

CET1
 
capital
 
deduction
 
for
 
qualifying

foreign

risk.
a)
 
Transactional

Transactional

The

and
minimised
 
by
 
the

b)
 
Translational
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
exposure
The

in
 
overseas

create
 
capital

the

investments
 
due
 
to
 
foreign

are
 
captured
 
in
 
the
 
currency
 
translation
reserve,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
movement
 
in
 
CET1

The

is
 
to
 
minimise
 
the
 
volatility
 
of

The

Liabilities
The
 
UKRF
 
retirement
 
benefit
 
obligations
 
are
 
a
 
series
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
with
 
relatively
 
long
 
duration.
 
On
 
an
 
IAS
 
19
 
basis
 
these
 
cash
 
flows
 
are
sensitive
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
expected
 
long-term
 
price
 
inflation
 
rate
 
(RPI)
 
and
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
(GBP
 
AA
 
corporate
 
bond
 
yield):
 
An
 
increase
 
in
 
long-term
 
expected
 
inflation
 
corresponds
 
to
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
liabilities;
 
A
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
corresponds
 
to
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
liabilities.
Pension
 
risk
 
is
 
generated
 
through
 
the
 
Group’s
 
defined
 
benefit

and
 
this
 
risk
 
is
 
set
 
to
 
reduce
 
over
 
time
 
as
 
the
 
main
 
defined
 
benefit
scheme
 
is
 
closed
 
to
 
new
 
entrants.

IAS

over
 
the
 
last
 
two
 
years.
 
During
 
2020
 
the
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
IAS
 
19
position
 
was
 
driven
 
by
 
the
 
net
 
effect
 
of
 
bank
 
contributions
 
and
 
a
 
structured
 
transaction
 
agreed
 
between
 
the
 
Bank
 
and
 
the
 
Trustee
 
which
deferred
 
the
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
contributions
 
until
 
2023-2025.
 
Credit
 
spreads
 
tightening
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
had
 
a
 
negative
 
impact
which
 
was
 
broadly
 
offset
 
by
 
changes
 
in
 
other
 
market
 
levels,
 
in
 
particular
 
equity
 
prices
 
and
 
interest

and

Risk
 
measurement
In
 
line
 
with
 
Barclays’
 
risk
 
management
 
framework
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
 
are
 
modelled
 
within
 
a
 
VaR
 
framework
 
to
 
show
 
the
volatility
 
of
 
the
 
pension
 
position
 
at
 
a
 
total
 
portfolio
 
level.
 
This
 
enables
 
the
 
risks,
 
diversification
 
and
 
liability
 
matching
 
characteristics
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
obligations
 
and
 
investments
 
to
 
be
 
adequately
 
captured.
 
VaR
 
is
 
measured
 
and
 
monitored
 
on
 
a
 
monthly
 
basis.
 
Risks
 
are
 
reviewed
 
and
 
reported
regularly
 
at
 
forums
 
including
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee,
 
the
 
Group
 
Risk
 
Committee,
 
the
 
Pensions
 
Management
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
Pension
Executive
 
Board.
 
The
 
VaR
 
model
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
the
 
liabilities
 
on
 
an
 
IAS
 
19
 
basis
 
(see
 
Note
 
33).
 
The
 
Trustee
 
receives
quarterly
 
VaR
 
measures
 
on
 
a
 
funding
 
basis.
The
 
pension
 
liability
 
is
 
also
 
sensitive
 
to
 
post-retirement
 
mortality
 
assumptions
 
which
 
are
 
reviewed
 
regularly
 
(See
 
Note
 
33
 
for
 
more
 
details).
 
To
mitigate
 
part
 
of
 
this
 
risk
 
the
 
UKRF
 
has
 
entered
 
into
 
a
 
longevity
 
swap
 
hedging
 
approximately
 
a
 
quarter
 
of
 
current
 
pensioner
 
liabilities.
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
pension
 
risk
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
taken
 
into
 
account
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
stress
 
testing
 
process.
 
Stress
 
testing
 
is
 
performed
internally
 
on
 
at
 
least
 
an
 
annual
 
basis.
 
The
 
UKRF
 
exposure
 
is
 
also
 
included
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
regulatory
 
stress
 
tests.
 
Barclays

two
 
ways:
 
An

19

is
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
liability
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s

sheet.
 
Movement
 
in
 
a

due
 
to
 
remeasurements,
 
including
 
actuarial
losses,
 
are
 
recognised
 
immediately
 
through
 
Other
 
Comprehensive
 
Income
 
and
 
as
 
such
 
reduces
 
shareholders’
 
equity
 
and
 
CET1
 
capital.
 
An
IAS
 
19
 
surplus
 
is
 
treated
 
as
 
an
 
asset
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
and
 
increases
 
shareholders’
 
equity;
 
however,
 
it
 
is
 
deducted
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
determining
 
CET1

Overview
Operational
 
risks
 
are
 
inherent
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
business
 
activities
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
not
 
cost
 
effective
 
or
 
possible
 
to
 
attempt
 
to
 
eliminate
 
all
 
operational
risks.
 
The
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
Framework
 
is
 
therefore
 
focused
 
on
 
identifying
 
operational
 
risks,
 
assessing
 
them
 
and
 
managing
 
them
 
within
 
the
Group’s
 
approved
 
risk
 
appetite.
 
The
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
principal
 
risk
 
comprises
 
the
 
following
 
risks:
 
Data
 
Management
 
Risk;
 
Financial
 
Reporting
 
Risk;
 
Fraud
 
Risk;
 
Information
Security
 
Risk,
 
Operational

Supplier
Risk;
 
Tax
 
Risk;
 
Technology
 
Risk
 
and
 
Transaction
 
Operations
 
Risk.
 
The
 
operational
 
risk
 
profile
 
is
 
also
 
informed
 
by
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
risk
 
themes:
Cyber,
 
Data,
 
and
 
Resilience.
 
These
 
represent
 
threats
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
that
 
extend
 
across
 
multiple
 
risk
 
types,
 
and
 
therefore
 
require
 
an
 
integrated
risk
 
management
 
approach.

too.
This

which
 
have
had
 
a
 
financial
 
impact
 
in
 
2020.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
operational
 
risk
 
profile
 
is
 
informed
 
by
 
bottom-up
 
risk
 
assessments
 
undertaken

Summary
 
of
 
performance
 
in
 
the
 
period
During
 
2020,
 
total
 
operational
 
risk
 
losses
a
 
increased
 
to
 
£212m
 
(2019:
 
£184m)
 
while
 
the
 
number
 
of
 
recorded
 
events
 
for
 
2020
 
(2,381)
 
increased
slightly
 
from
 
the
 
level
 
for
 
2019
 
(2,165).
 
The
 
total
 
operational
 
risk
 
losses
 
for
 
the
 
year
 
were
 
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
events
 
falling
 
within
 
the
 
Execution,
Delivery

External

categories,
 
which
 
tend
 
to

Cumulatively,

is
 
the
 
most
 
severe
 
global
 
health
 
emergency
the
 
World

(WHO)
 
has
 
ever
 
declared.
 
While
 
overall,
 
the
 
Group
 
proved
 
to
 
be
 
resilient,
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
caused
disruption
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
suppliers,
 
and
 
staff
 
globally.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
reinforced
 
our
 
continued
 
focus
 
on
 
resilience
risk.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
Group
 
experienced
 
operational
 
disruptions
 
primarily
 
during
 
the
 
Group’s
 
and
 
its
 
suppliers’
 
transition
 
to
 
a
Work
 
-from-Home
 
environment
 
and
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
high
 
market
 
volatility.
 
Further,
 
the
 
prolonged
 
nature
 
of
 
the

identified
 
the
 
need
 
to
enhance
 
our

to
 
improve
 
our
 
response
 
to
 
similar
 
events
 
with
 
an
 
extreme
 
and
 
prolonged
 
impact.
 
Despite
 
these
issues,
 
the
 
early
 
activation
 
of
 
our
 
Crisis

Team
 
facilitated
 
swift
 
and

actions
 
to

which
 
resulted
 
in

Likewise,
 
operational
 
risk
 
associated
 
with
 
cyber-security
 
remains
 
a
 
top
 
focus
 
for
 
the

The

actors
 
continues
 
to
 
grow
as
 
noted
 
by
 
multiple
 
external

observed
 
throughout
 
the
 
year.
 
Multiple
 
ransomware
 
attacks
 
across
 
the

Barclays

base
were
 
observed
 
and
 
we
 
worked

the
 
Group
 
has
 
focused
 
on
 
managing
 
the
heightened
 
inherent
 
conduct
 
risks
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
monitor
 
these
 
as
 
the
 
pandemic
 
continues.
Businesses
 
have
 
continued
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
potential
 
customer,
 
client
 
and
 
market
 
impacts
 
of
 
strategic
 
change.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
2020
 
medium-term
planning
 
process,
 
material
 
conduct
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
strategic
 
and
 
financial
 
plans
 
were
 
assessed.
Throughout
 
2020,
 
conduct
 
risks
 
were
 
raised
 
by
 
each
 
business
 
area
 
for
 
consideration
 
by
 
relevant
 
Board
 
level
 
committees.
 
These
 
committees
reviewed
 
the
 
risks
 
raised
 
and
 
whether
 
management’s
 
proposed
 
actions
 
were
 
appropriate
 
to
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risks
 
effectively.
The
 
Group
 
continued
 
to
 
incur
 
costs
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
litigation
 
and
 
conduct
 
matters,

Costs
 
include
 
customer
 
redress
 
and
 
remediation,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
fines
 
and
 
settlements.
 
Resolution
 
of
 
these
matters
 
remains
 
a
 
necessary
 
and
 
important
 
part
 
of
 
delivering
 
the
 
Group’s
 
strategy
 
and
 
an
 
ongoing
 
commitment
 
to
 
improve
 
oversight
 
of

are
 
provided
 
to
 
the

These
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
evolved
 
and
 
enhanced
 
to
 
allow
 
effective
 
oversight
 
and
 
decision-making.
Barclays
 
has
 
operated
 
at
 
the
 
overall
 
set
 
tolerance
 
for
 
conduct
 
risk
 
throughout
 
2020.
 
The
 
tolerance
 
adherence
 
is
 
assessed
 
by
 
the
 
business
 
areas
through
 
key

which
 
are
 
aggregated
 
to
 
provide

remains
 
focused
 
on
 
the
 
continuous

effectively
 
with
 
an
 
emphasis

Barclays
 
is
 
committed
 
to
 
identifying
 
reputation
 
risks
 
and
 
issues
 
as
 
early
 
as
 
possible
 
and
 
managing
 
them
 
appropriately.
 
At
 
a
 
Group
 
level
 
throughout
2020,
 
reputation
 
risks
 
and
 
issues
 
were
 
overseen
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
which
 
reviews
 
the
 
processes
 
and
 
policies
 
by
 
which
 
Barclays
 
identifies
 
and
 
manages

are
 
included
 
within
 
an
 
over-arching
 
quarterly

at
 
the
 
respective
 
Board
 
level.
 
The
 
Board
 
reviewed
 
risks
 
escalated
 
by
 
the
 
businesses
 
and
 
considered
 
whether
 
management’s
 
proposed
 
actions,
 
for
 
example
 
attaching
 
conditions
to
 
proposed
 
client
 
transactions
 
or
 
increased
 
engagement
 
with
 
impacted
 
stakeholders,
 
were
 
appropriate
 
to
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risks
 
effectively.
 
The
 
Board
also
 
received
 
regular
 
updates
 
with
 
regard
 
to
 
key
 
reputation
 
risks
 
and

including:
 
Barclays’

and
 
the

of
 
key

remains
 
committed
 
to
 
continuous

effectively.
 
A
 
number
 
of

have
 
been
implemented
 
during
 
2020,
 
including
 
a
 
refresh
 
of
 
the
 
Group-wide

management
 
framework
 
and
 
a

Brexit
The
 
EU-UK
 
Trade
 
and
 
Cooperation
 
Agreement
 
(TCA),
 
which
 
provides
 
a
 
new
 
economic

partnership
 
between
 
the
 
EU

UK,
 
came
into
 
force
 
provisionally
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2021.
 
The
 
TCA
 
does
 
not
 
cover
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
financial
 
services
 
into
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
agreement
 
on
passporting,
 
equivalence
 
or
 
regulatory
 
cooperation.
 
Therefore,
 
UK-based
 
entities
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
(such
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Bank

and
 
Barclays

are
 
no

framework
 
for
 
the

clients.
 
Accordingly,
Barclays

have
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
new

In
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
UK
leaving
 
the
 
EU,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
Group
 
has
 
continued
 
to
 
review
 
the
 
services
 
offered
 
to
 
customers
 
in
 
the

taking
 
into
 
account
 
a
 
number
 
of
factors,
 
including
 
the
 
regulatory
 
landscape
 
across
 
the
 
EEA
 
and,
 
where
 
relevant,
 
feedback
 
from
 
EEA
 
regulators.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
it
 
has
 
made
 
the
decision
 
to
 
exit
 
certain
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
offered
 
to
 
EEA
 
customers
 
and
 
closure
 
processes
 
are
 
ongoing.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
Group
 
continues
to
 
keep
 
its
 
strategy
 
under
 
review
 
for
 
its
 
remaining
 
EEA
 
customers.
The
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
have
 
agreed
 
to
 
establish
 
structured
 
regulatory
 
cooperation
 
on
 
financial
 
services,
 
with
 
the
 
aim
 
of
 
establishing
 
a
 
durable
 
and
stable
 
relationship,
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
shared
 
commitment
 
to
 
preserve
 
financial
 
stability,
 
market
 
integrity,
 
and
 
the
 
protection
 
of
 
investors
 
and
consumers.
 
The
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
have
 
committed
 
to
 
agreeing
 
a
 
Memorandum
 
of
 
Understanding
 
setting
 
out
 
a
 
“framework”
 
for
 
regulatory
cooperation
 
in
 
financial
 
services
 
by
 
March
 
2021.
 
We
 
anticipate
 
that
 
consideration
 
will
 
be
 
given
 
to
 
equivalence
 
determinations
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
discussions.
 
Mutual
 
equivalence
 
decisions
 
between
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
EU
 
relating
 
to
 
market
 
access
 
would
 
allow
 
UK-based
 
entities
 
within
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
offer
 
a
restricted
 
number
 
of
 
financial
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
to
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
based
 
in
 
the
 
EEA,
 
including
 
permanent
 
access
 
to
 
EU
 
trading
venues
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
allowing
 
EEA
 
based
 
clients
 
to
 
access
 
some
 
UK
 
originated
 
products
 
and
 
services,
 
including
 
permanent
 
access
 
to
 
UK
 
trading
venues.
 
However,
 
the
 
EU
 
equivalence
 
regime
 
is
 
very
 
different
 
to
 
benefiting
 
from
 
passporting
 
rights;
 
the
 
equivalence
 
regimes
 
that
 
facilitate
access
 
to
 
customers
 
and
 
clients
 
based
 
in
 
the
 
EEA
 
under
 
EU
 
law
 
differ
 
significantly
 
in
 
their
 
scope,
 
operation
 
and
 
impact.
 
Equivalence
 
decisions
do
 
not
 
cover
 
services
 
to
 
retail
 
customers,
 
for
 
example.
 
Under
 
the
 
current
 
framework,
 
equivalence
 
decisions
 
can
 
be
 
revoked
 
at
 
any
 
time.

Barclays

2020
 
Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
date,
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
 
have
 
only
 
agreed
 
a
 
temporary
 
position
 
on
 
mutual
 
equivalence
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
clearing
 
and
 
settlement
 
(CCPs).
 
In
 
addition,
HM
 
Treasury
 
has
 
made
 
certain
 
unilateral
 
equivalence
 
decisions,
 
including
 
under
 
the
 
Capital
 
Requirements
 
Regulation
 
(CRR)
 
and
 
European
Market
 
Infrastructure
 
Regulation
 
(EMIR).
 
‘Onshoring’
 
was
 
the
 
process
 
of
 
amending
 
EU
 
legislation
 
and
 
regulatory
 
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
so
 
that
 
they
 
work
 
in
 
a
 
UK-only
 
context,
 
including
directly
 
applicable
 
EU
 
legislation
 
such
 
as
 
EU
 
regulations
 
and
 
decisions
 
that
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
UK
 
law
 
by
 
virtue
 
of
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
(Withdrawal)
Act
 
2018,
 
now
 
that
 
the
 
Brexit
 
transition
 
period
 
has
 
ended.
The
 
onshoring
 
process
 
means
 
that
 
there
 
are
 
some
 
areas
 
where
 
the
 
requirements
 
on
 
UK
 
firms
 
and
 
other
 
regulated
 
persons
 
have
 
changed.
 
To
help
 
UK
 
firms
 
adapt
 
to
 
their
 
new
 
requirements,
 
HM
 
Treasury
 
gave
 
UK
 
financial
 
regulators
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
make
 
transitional
 
provisions
 
to
 
financial
services
 
legislation
 
for
 
a
 
temporary
 
period.
 
This
 
is
 
known
 
as
 
the
 
Temporary
 
Transitional
 
Power
 
(TTP).
The
 
FCA
 
has
 
applied
 
the
 
TTP
 
on
 
a
 
broad
 
basis
 
from
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
transition
 
period
 
until
 
31
 
March
 
2022.
 
This
 
means
 
UK
 
firms
 
and
 
other
regulated
 
persons
 
do
 
not
 
generally
 
need
 
to
 
adjust
 
to
 
the
 
changes
 
to
 
their
 
UK
 
regulatory
 
obligations
 
brought
 
about
 
by
 
onshoring
 
straight
 
away,
although
 
there
 
are
 
some
 
exceptions
 
to
 
this
 
and
 
obligations
 
which
 
have
 
changed
 
and
 
which
 
took
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2021
 
include
 
reporting
obligations
 
under
 
various
 
EU
 
financial
 
services
 
directives
 
and
 
regulations,
 
certain
 
requirements
 
under
 
the
 
Market
 
Abuse
 
Regulation,
 
issuer
rules,
 
contractual
 
recognition
 
of
 
bail-in,
 
securitisation,

of
 
credit
 
ratings,
 
mortgage
 
lending
 
after
 
the
 
transition
 
period
 
against
 
land
 
in
 
the
 
EEA,
payments
 
services
 
and
 
certain
 
other
 
matters.
On
 
31
 
December,
 
the
 
FCA
 
published
 
a
 
statement
 
on
 
its
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
TTP
 
to
 
modify
 
the
 
UK’s
 
derivatives
 
trading
 
obligation
 
(the
 
UK
 
DTO).
 
Without
mutual
 
equivalence,
 
some
 
firms
 
and
 
EEA
 
clients
 
will
 
be
 
caught
 
by
 
a
 
conflict
 
of
 
law
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
DTO
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO.
 
The
 
FCA
 
is
 
therefore
using
 
the
 
TTP
 
to
 
modify
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO.
 
Where
 
firms
 
that
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO
 
trade
 
with,
 
or
 
on
 
behalf
 
of,
 
EU
 
clients
 
that
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
EU
 
DTO,
 
they
 
will
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
transact
 
or
 
execute
 
those
 
trades
 
on
 
EU
 
venues
 
providing
 
that:
 
(i)
 
firms
 
take
 
reasonable
 
steps
 
to
be
 
satisfied
 
the
 
client
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
arrangements
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
execute
 
the
 
trade
 
on
 
a
 
trading
 
venue
 
to
 
which
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
EU
 
have
 
granted
equivalence
 
(for
 
example,
 
a
 
US
 
venue
 
such
 
as
 
a
 
swap
 
execution
 
facility);
 
and
 
(ii)
 
the
 
EU
 
venue
 
has
 
the
 
necessary
 
regulatory
 
status
 
to
 
do
business
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
(such
 
venues
 
include
 
those
 
that
 
are
 
a
 
Recognised
 
Overseas
 
Investment
 
Exchange,
 
have
 
been
 
granted
 
the
 
relevant
temporary
 
permission,
 
or
 
are
 
certain
 
that
 
they
 
benefit
 
from
 
the
 
Overseas
 
Person
 
Exclusion).
 
This
 
modification
 
of
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO
applies
 
to
 
UK
 
firms,
 
EU
 
firms
 
using
 
the
 
UK’s
 
temporary
 
permissions
 
regime,
 
and
 
branches
 
of
 
overseas
 
firms
 
in
 
the
 
UK.
 
Transactions
 
concluded
by
 
an
 
EEA
 
UCITS
 
fund
 
or
 
an
 
EEA
 
AIF
 
are
 
currently
 
outside
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO.
 
The
 
relief
 
under
 
the
 
TTP
 
does
 
not
 
apply
 
to
 
trades
 
with
non-EU
 
clients,
 
proprietary
 
trading
 
conducted,
 
for
 
example,
 
to
 
hedge
 
a
 
firm’s
 
own
 
risk
 
exposure,
 
and
 
trades
 
between
 
UK
 
branches
 
of
 
EU
 
firms.
These
 
trades
 
remain
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
UK
 
DTO
 
and
 
firms
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
take
 
reasonable
 
steps
 
to
 
ensure
 
compliance
 
during
 
Q1
 
2021.
 
The
 
FCA
will
 
consider
 
by
 
31
 
March
 
2021
 
whether
 
market
 
or
 
regulatory
 
developments
 
warrant
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
its
 
approach.
On
 
28
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
PRA
 
published
 
a
 
policy
 
statement
 
(PS30/20)
 
on
 
changes
 
to
 
its
 
rules,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
temporary
 
transitional
directions.
 
The
 
PRA’s
 
transitional
 
direction
 
and
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
provisions
 
in
 
the
 
rulebook
 
instrument
 
came
 
into
 
force
 
at
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
transition
 
period
 
on
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
The
 
transitional
 
direction
 
delays
 
onshoring
 
changes
 
that
 
fall
 
within
 
the
 
PRA's
 
remit.
 
The
 
PRA
 
TTP
 
will
apply
 
until
 
31
 
March
 
2022,
 
unless
 
otherwise
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
direction
 
or
 
it
 
is
 
varied
 
or
 
revoked
 
before
 
then.
As
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
onshoring
 
of
 
EU
 
legislation
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
the
 
exercise
 
of
 
the
 
TTPs,
 
UK
 
firms
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
are
 
currently
 
subject
 
to
 
substantially
the
 
same
 
rules
 
and
 
regulations
 
as
 
before
 
Brexit.
 
The
 
UK
 
intends
 
to
 
recast
 
onshored
 
EU
 
legislation
 
into
 
PRA
 
and
 
FCA
 
rules
 
and
 
to
 
complete
 
UK
implementation
 
of
 
the
 
remaining
 
Basel
 
III
 
reforms.
 
The
 
regulatory
 
regimes
 
for
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
 
financial
 
services
 
may
 
change
 
further,
 
and
 
temporary
permissions
 
and
 
equivalence
 
decisions
 
may
 
expire,
 
and
 
not
 
be
 
replaced,
 
which
 
would
 
result
 
in
 
further
 
adjustments
 
to
 
the
 
UK
 
regulatory
landscape.

a
 
comprehensive

involving
 
numerous

in

For

the

In
 
some

Barclays

Barclays

BUSL
 
have
 
elected
 
to

(FHCs)
 
under
 
the
 
Bank

of
 
1956.
 
FHC

allows
 
these

in
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
financial

activities,
 
directly

including
 
underwriting,
 
dealing
 
and
 
market
 
making
 
in

Failure
 
to
 
maintain
 
FHC
 
status
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
increasingly

ultimately,
 
in
 
the

Certain

were
 
implemented
 
in
 
EU

through
 
the
 
Capital

(CRR)
 
and
 
the

Directive
 
IV
 
(CRD
 
IV),
 
as
 
amended
 
by
 
CRR
 
II
 
and
 
CRD
 
V.
 
Under
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
EU-UK
 
Withdrawal
 
Agreement
 
of
 
24
 
January
 
2020,
 
the
 
Group
remained
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
EU
 
regulatory
 
framework
 
until
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
transition
 
period
 
on
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
Beyond
 
the
 
minimum
 
standards
required
 
by
 
CRR,
 
the
 
PRA
 
has
 
expected
 
the
 
Group,
 
in
 
common
 
with
 
other
 
major
 
UK
 
banks
 
and
 
building
 
societies,
 
to
 
meet
 
a
 
7%
 
Common
Equity
 
Tier
 
1
 
(CET1)
 
ratio
 
at
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
group
 
since
 
1
 
January
 
2016.
Global
 
systemically
 
important
 
banks
 
(G-SIBs),
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
Group,
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
additional
 
prudential
 
requirements,
 
including
 
the
requirement
 
to
 
hold
 
additional
 
loss-absorbing
 
capacity
 
and
 
additional
 
capital
 
buffers
 
above
 
the
 
level
 
required
 
by
 
Basel
 
III
 
standards.
 
The
 
level
 
of
the
 
G-SIB
 
buffer
 
is
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Financial
 
Stability
 
Board
 
(FSB)
 
according
 
to
 
a
 
bank’s
 
systemic
 
importance
 
and
 
can
 
range
 
from
 
1%
 
to
 
3.5%
 
of
 
risk-
weighted
 
assets
 
(RWAs).
 
The
 
G-SIB
 
buffer
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
with
 
CET1.
 
In
 
November
 
2020,
 
the
 
FSB
 
published
 
an
 
update
 
to
 
its
 
list
 
of
 
G-SIBs,
maintaining
 
the
 
1.5%
 
G-SIB
 
buffer
 
that
 
applies
 
to
 
the
 
Group.
The
 
Group
 
is
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
‘combined
 
buffer
 
requirement’
 
consisting
 
of
 
(i)
 
a
 
capital
 
conservation
 
buffer,
 
and
 
(ii)
 
a
 
countercyclical
 
capital
buffer
 
(CCyB).
 
The
 
CCyB
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
rates
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
regulatory
 
authorities
 
in
 
each
 
jurisdiction
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
maintains
exposures.
 
In
 
March
 
2020,
 
the
 
FPC
 
cut
 
the
 
UK
 
CCyB
 
rate
 
to
 
0%
 
with
 
immediate
 
effect
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
supply
 
of
 
credit
 
expected
 
as
 
a
result
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
The
 
PRA
 
requires
 
UK
 
firms
 
to
 
hold
 
additional
 
capital
 
to
 
cover
 
risks
 
which
 
the
 
PRA
 
assesses
 
are
 
not
 
fully
 
captured
 
by
 
the
 
Pillar
 
1
 
capital
requirement.
 
The
 
PRA
 
sets
 
this
 
additional
 
capital
 
requirement
 
(Pillar
 
2A)
 
at
 
least
 
annually,
 
derived
 
from
 
each
 
firm’s
 
individual
 
capital
 
guidance.
Under
 
current
 
PRA
 
rules,
 
the
 
Pillar
 
2A
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
with
 
at
 
least
 
56%
 
CET1
 
capital
 
and
 
no
 
more
 
than
 
25%
 
tier
 
2
 
capital.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
capital
that
 
firms
 
use
 
to
 
meet
 
their
 
minimum
 
requirements
 
(Pillar
 
1
 
and
 
Pillar
 
2A)
 
cannot
 
be
 
counted
 
towards
 
meeting
 
the
 
combined
 
buffer
 
requirement.
As
 
part
 
of
 
its
 
approach
 
to
 
ring
 
fencing,
 
the
 
FPC
 
established
 
a
 
framework
 
to
 
apply
 
a
 
firm-specific
 
systemic
 
risk
 
buffer
 
(SRB)
 
which
 
could
 
be
 
set
between
 
0%
 
and
 
3%
 
of
 
RWAs
 
and
 
which
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
solely
 
with
 
CET1
 
capital.
 
The
 
purpose
 
of
 
the
 
SRB
 
was
 
to
 
increase
 
the
 
capacity
 
of
 
ring-
fenced
 
bodies,
 
such
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC,
 
to
 
absorb
 
stress.
 
The
 
buffer
 
rate
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
 
Group’s
 
ring-fenced
 
sub-group
 
was
 
set
 
at
 
1%
with
 
effect
 
from
 
August
 
2019.
 
In
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
economic
 
shock
 
from
 
COVID-19,
 
the
 
PRA
 
and
 
FPC
 
held
 
firms’
 
SRB
 
rates
 
at
 
their
 
existing
levels
 
until
 
December
 
2021.
 
With
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
CRD
 
V,
 
the
 
Other
 
Systemically
 
Important
 
Institutions
 
Buffer
 
(O-SII
 
buffer)
 
replaced
 
the
SRB.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
CRD
 
V,
 
the
 
PRA
 
and
 
FPC
 
confirmed
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
O-SII
 
buffer
 
would
 
be
 
held
 
at
 
the
historic
 
SRB
 
rate
 
of
 
1%
 
until
 
reassessment
 
in
 
December
 
2021,
 
with
 
any
 
future
 
adjustment
 
to
 
the
 
O-SII
 
buffer
 
applicable
 
from
 
January
 
2023.
The
 
PRA
 
may
 
also
 
impose
 
a
 
'PRA
 
buffer'
 
to
 
cover
 
risks
 
over
 
a
 
forward
 
looking
 
planning
 
horizon,
 
including
 
with
 
regard
 
to
 
firm-specific
 
stresses
 
or
management
 
and
 
governance
 
weaknesses.
 
If
 
the
 
PRA
 
buffer
 
is
 
imposed
 
on
 
a
 
specific
 
firm,
 
it
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
separately
 
to
 
the
 
combined
 
buffer
requirement,
 
and
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
fully
 
with
 
CET1
 
capital.
In
 
the
 
US,
 
in
 
October
 
2019,
 
the
 
FRB
 
and
 
other
 
US
 
regulatory
 
agencies
 
released
 
final
 
rules
 
to
 
tailor
 
the
 
applicability
 
of
 
prudential
 
requirements
for
 
large
 
domestic
 
US
 
banking
 
organisations,
 
foreign
 
banking
 
organisations
 
and
 
their
 
intermediate
 
holding
 
companies
 
(IHCs),
 
including
 
BUSL.
BUSL
 
is
 
a
 
“Category
 
III”
 
IHC.
 
BUSL
 
(and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Delaware)
 
is
 
therefore
 
subject
 
to
 
reduced
 
(calibrated
 
at
 
85%)
 
standardised
 
liquidity
requirements,
 
including
 
the
 
liquidity
 
coverage
 
ratio,
 
which
 
has
 
been
 
implemented
 
by
 
the
 
US
 
regulatory
 
agencies,
 
and
 
the
 
NSFR,
 
which
 
will
become
 
effective
 
on
 
1
 
July
 
2021.
 
In
 
June
 
2018
 
and
 
October
 
2019,
 
the
 
FRB
 
finalised
 
rules
 
regarding
 
single
 
counterparty
 
credit
 
limits
 
(SCCL).
 
The
 
SCCL
 
apply
 
to
 
the
 
largest
 
US
BHCs
 
and
 
foreign
 
banks’
 
(including
 
the
 
Group’s)
 
US
 
operations.
 
The
 
SCCL
 
creates
 
two
 
separate
 
limits
 
for
 
foreign
 
banks,
 
the
 
first
 
on
 
combined
US
 
operations
 
(CUSO)
 
and
 
the
 
second
 
on
 
the
 
US
 
IHC
 
(BUSL).
 
The
 
SCCL
 
for
 
US
 
BHCs,
 
including
 
BUSL,
 
requires
 
that
 
exposure
 
to
 
an
unaffiliated
 
counterparty
 
of
 
BUSL
 
not
 
exceed
 
25%
 
of
 
BUSL’s
 
tier
 
1
 
capital.
 
With
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
CUSO,
 
the
 
SCCL
 
rule
 
allows
 
certification
 
to
 
the
FRB
 
that
 
a
 
foreign
 
bank
 
complies
 
with
 
comparable
 
home
 
country
 
regulation.
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
not
 
required
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
CUSO
 
requirement
 
until
 
1
 
July
 
2021.
 
Stress
 
testing
The
 
Group
 
and
 
certain
 
of
 
its
 
members
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
supervisory
 
stress
 
testing
 
exercises
 
in
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
jurisdictions,
 
designed
 
to
 
assess
 
the
resilience
 
of
 
banks
 
to
 
adverse
 
economic
 
or
 
financial
 
developments
 
and
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
have
 
robust,
 
forward-looking
 
capital
 
planning
 
processes
that
 
account
 
for
 
the
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
their
 
business
 
profile.
 
Assessment
 
by
 
regulators
 
is
 
on
 
both
 
a
 
quantitative
 
and
 
qualitative
 
basis,
 
the
latter
 
focusing
 
on
 
such
 
elements
 
as
 
data
 
provision,
 
stress
 
testing
 
capability
 
including
 
model
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
management
processes
 
and
 
controls.
Recovery
 
and
 
Resolution
Stabilisation
 
and
 
resolution
 
framework
 
The
 
UK
 
framework
 
for
 
recovery
 
and
 
resolution
 
was
 
established
 
by
 
the
 
Banking
 
Act
 
2009,
 
as
 
amended.
 
The
 
EU
 
framework
 
was
 
established
 
by
the
 
2014
 
Bank
 
Recovery
 
and
 
Resolution
 
Directive
 
(BRRD),
 
as
 
amended
 
by
 
BRRD
 
II.
 
The
 
BoE,
 
as
 
the
 
UK
 
resolution
 
authority,
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
resolve
 
a
 
UK
 
financial
 
institution
 
that
 
is
 
failing
 
or
 
likely
 
to
 
fail
 
by
 
exercising
 
several
stabilisation
 
options,
 
including
 
transferring
 
such
 
institution’s
 
business
 
or
 
securities
 
to
 
a
 
commercial
 
purchaser
 
or
 
a
 
‘bridge
 
bank’
 
owned
 
by
 
the
BoE
 
or
 
transferring
 
the
 
institution
 
into
 
temporary
 
public
 
ownership.
 
When
 
exercising
 
any
 
of
 
its
 
stabilisation
 
powers,
 
the
 
BoE
 
must
 
generally
provide
 
that
 
shareholders
 
bear
 
first
 
losses,
 
followed
 
by
 
creditors
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
priority
 
of
 
their
 
claims
 
in
 
insolvency.
In
 
order
 
to
 
enable
 
the
 
exercise
 
of
 
its
 
stabilisation
 
powers,
 
the
 
BoE
 
may
 
impose
 
a
 
temporary
 
stay
 
on
 
the
 
rights
 
of
 
creditors
 
to
 
terminate,
accelerate
 
or
 
close
 
out
 
contracts,
 
or
 
override
 
events
 
of
 
default
 
or
 
termination
 
rights
 
that
 
might
 
otherwise
 
be
 
invoked
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
a
 
resolution
action
 
and
 
modify
 
contractual
 
arrangements
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances
 
(including
 
a
 
variation
 
of
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
any
 
securities).
 
HM
 
Treasury
 
may
also
 
amend
 
the
 
law
 
for
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
enabling
 
it
 
to
 
use
 
its
 
powers
 
under
 
this
 
regime
 
effectively,
 
potentially
 
with
 
retrospective
 
effect.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
BoE
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
permanently
 
write-down,
 
or
 
convert
 
into
 
equity,
 
tier
 
1
 
capital
 
instruments,
 
tier
 
2
 
capital
 
instruments
 
and
eligible
 
liabilities
 
at
 
the
 
point
 
of
 
non-viability
 
of
 
the
 
bank.
 
The
 
BoE’s
 
preferred
 
approach
 
for
 
the
 
resolution
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
a
 
bail-in
 
strategy
 
with
 
a
 
single
 
point
 
of
 
entry
 
at
 
Barclays
 
PLC.
 
Under
 
such
 
a
strategy,
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
subsidiaries
 
would
 
remain
 
operational
 
while
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
capital
 
instruments
 
and
 
eligible
 
liabilities
 
would
 
be
 
written
down
 
or
 
converted
 
to
 
equity
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
recapitalise
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
allow
 
for
 
the
 
continued
 
provision
 
of
 
services
 
and
 
operations
 
throughout
 
the
resolution.
 
The
 
order
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
bail-in
 
tool
 
is
 
applied
 
reflects
 
the
 
hierarchy
 
of
 
capital
 
instruments
 
under
 
CRD
 
IV
 
and
 
otherwise
 
respecting
 
the
hierarchy
 
of
 
claims
 
in
 
an
 
ordinary
 
insolvency.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
more
 
subordinated
 
the
 
claim,
 
the
 
more
 
likely
 
losses
 
will
 
be
 
suffered
 
by
 
owners
 
of
the
 
claim.

The

require
 
authorised

is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
powers
 
of
the
 
Single
 
Resolution

(SRB)
 
as
 
the
 
Eurozone

The

require
 
Barclays

to
 
submit
 
a
standalone
 
BRRD-compliant
 
recovery
 
plan
 
on
 
an
 
annual

The

has
 
the

to
 
require

specific
 
to
 
Barclays

under
 
powers
 
conferred
 
upon
 
it
 
by
 
the
 
BRRD
 
and
 
the
 
SRMR.
 
The
 
SRB
 
will
 
exercise
 
these
 
powers
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
optimal
resolution
 
strategy
 
for
 
Barclays

in
 
the

TLAC
 
and
 
MREL
The
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
Minimum
 
Requirement
 
for
 
own
 
funds
 
and
 
Eligible
 
Liabilities
 
(MREL),
 
which
 
includes
 
a
 
component
 
reflecting
 
the
 
FSB’s
standards
 
on
 
total
 
loss
 
absorbency
 
capacity
 
(TLAC).
 
The
 
MREL
 
requirements
 
will
 
be
 
fully
 
implemented
 
by
 
1
 
January
 
2022,
 
at
 
which
 
time
 
G-SIBs
 
with
 
resolution
 
entities
 
incorporated
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
will
be
 
required
 
to
 
meet
 
an
 
MREL
 
equivalent
 
to
 
the
 
higher
 
of:
 
(i)
 
two
 
times
 
the
 
sum
 
of
 
their
 
Pillar
 
1
 
and
 
Pillar
 
2A
 
requirements;
 
or
 
(ii)
 
the
 
higher
 
of
two
 
times
 
their
 
leverage
 
ratio
 
or
 
6.75%
 
of
 
leverage
 
exposures.
 
Internal
 
MREL
 
for
 
operating
 
subsidiaries
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
scalar
 
in
 
the
 
75-90%
range
 
of
 
the
 
external
 
requirement
 
that
 
would
 
apply
 
to
 
the
 
subsidiary
 
if
 
it
 
were
 
a
 
resolution
 
entity.
 
The
 
starting
 
point
 
for
 
the
 
scalar
 
is
 
90%
 
for
 
ring-
fenced
 
bank
 
sub-groups.
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
SRB’s
 
MREL
 
policy,
 
as
 
issued
 
in
 
May
 
2020,
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
internal
 
MREL
 
that
 
it
 
will
 
be
 
required
 
to
issue
 
to
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
SRB’s
 
current
 
calibration
 
of
 
internal
 
MREL
 
for
 
non-resolution
 
entities
 
is
 
expressed
 
as
 
two
 
ratios
 
that
 
have
 
to
 
be
 
met
 
in
parallel:
 
(a)
 
two
 
times
 
the
 
sum
 
of:
 
(i)
 
the
 
firm’s
 
Pillar
 
1
 
requirement;
 
(ii)
 
its
 
Pillar
 
2
 
requirement;
 
and
 
(b)
 
two
 
times
 
the
 
leverage
 
ratio.
 
The
 
SRB’s
policy
 
does
 
not
 
envisage
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
any
 
scalar
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
internal
 
MREL
 
requirement.
In
 
the
 
US,
 
the
 
FRB’s
 
TLAC
 
rule
 
includes
 
provisions
 
that
 
require
 
BUSL
 
to
 
have:
 
(i)
 
a
 
specified
 
outstanding
 
amount
 
of
 
eligible
 
long-term
 
debt;
 
(ii)
 
a
specified
 
outstanding
 
amount
 
of
 
TLAC
 
(consisting
 
of
 
common
 
and
 
preferred
 
equity
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
plus
 
eligible
 
long-term
 
debt);
 
and
 
(iii)
 
a
specified
 
common
 
equity
 
buffer.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
FRB’s
 
TLAC
 
rule
 
prohibits
 
BUSL,
 
for
 
so
 
long
 
as
 
the
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
resolution
 
plan
 
treats
 
BUSL
as
 
a
 
non-resolution
 
entity,
 
from
 
issuing
 
TLAC
 
to
 
entities
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
within
 
the
 
Group.
Bank
 
Levy
 
and
 
FSCS
The
 
BRRD
 
established
 
a
 
requirement
 
for
 
EU
 
member
 
states
 
to
 
set
 
up
 
a
 
pre-funded
 
resolution
 
financing
 
arrangement
 
with
 
funding
 
equal
 
to
 
1%
of
 
covered
 
deposits
 
by
 
31
 
December
 
2024
 
to
 
cover
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
bank
 
resolutions.
 
The
 
UK
 
has
 
implemented
 
this
 
requirement
 
by
 
way
 
of
 
a
 
tax
 
on
the
 
balance
 
sheets
 
of
 
banks
 
known
 
as
 
the
 
‘Bank
 
Levy’.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
UK
 
has
 
a
 
statutory
 
compensation
 
fund
 
called
 
the
 
Financial
 
Services
 
Compensation
 
Scheme
 
(FSCS),
 
which
 
is
 
funded
 
by
 
way
 
of
annual
 
levies
 
on
 
most
 
authorised
 
financial
 
services
 
firms.
Structural
 
reform
In
 
the
 
UK,
 
the
 
Financial
 
Services
 
(Banking
 
Reform)
 
Act
 
2013
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
a
 
framework
 
for
 
ring-fencing
 
certain
 
operations
 
of
 
large
 
banks.
 
Ring-
fencing
 
requires,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
the
 
separation
 
of
 
the
 
retail
 
and
 
smaller
 
deposit-taking
 
business
 
activities
 
of
 
UK
 
banks
 
into
 
a
 
legally
distinct,
 
operationally
 
separate
 
and
 
economically
 
independent
 
entity,
 
which
 
is
 
not
 
permitted
 
to
 
undertake
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
activities.
US
 
regulation
 
places
 
further
 
substantive
 
limits
 
on
 
the
 
activities
 
that
 
may
 
be
 
conducted
 
by
 
banks
 
and
 
holding
 
companies,
 
including
 
foreign
banking
 
organisations
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
‘Volcker
 
Rule’,
 
which
 
was
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
DFA
 
and
 
which
 
came
 
into
 
effect
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
in
 
2015,
 
prohibits
banking
 
entities
 
from
 
undertaking
 
certain
 
proprietary
 
trading
 
activities
 
and
 
limits
 
such
 
entities’
 
ability
 
to
 
sponsor
 
or
 
invest
 
in
 
certain
 
private
 
equity
funds
 
and
 
hedge
 
funds
 
(in
 
each
 
case
 
broadly
 
defined).
 
As
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
rule,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
developed
 
and
 
implemented
 
an
 
extensive
compliance
 
and
 
monitoring
 
programme
 
addressing
 
proprietary
 
trading
 
and
 
covered
 
fund
 
activities
 
(both
 
inside
 
and
 
outside
 
of
 
the
 
US).
 
Market
 
infrastructure
 
regulation
In
 
recent
 
years,
 
regulators
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
global-standard
 
setting
 
bodies
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
International
 
Organisation
 
of
 
Securities
 
Commissions
 
(IOSCO)
have
 
focused
 
on
 
improving
 
transparency
 
and
 
reducing
 
risk
 
in
 
markets,
 
particularly
 
risks
 
related
 
to
 
over-the-counter
 
(OTC)
 
transactions.
 
This
focus
 
has
 
resulted
 
in
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
new
 
regulations
 
across
 
the
 
G20
 
countries
 
and
 
beyond
 
that
 
require
 
or
 
encourage
 
on-venue
 
trading,
 
clearing,
posting
 
of
 
margin
 
and
 
disclosure
 
of
 
pre-trade
 
and
 
post-trade
 
information.

on
 
Form
 
20-F
The
 
European
 
Market
 
Infrastructure
 
Regulation
 
(EMIR)
 
has
 
introduced
 
requirements
 
designed
 
to
 
improve
 
transparency
 
and
 
reduce
 
the
 
risks
associated
 
with
 
the
 
derivatives
 
market.
 
EMIR
 
has
 
potential
 
operational
 
and
 
financial
 
impacts
 
on
 
the
 
Group,
 
including
 
by
 
imposing
 
new
 
collateral
requirements.
 
Over
 
the
 
coming
 
months
 
alterations
 
to
 
the
 
existing
 
derivative
 
margin
 
rules
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
finalised.
 
The

in
 
Financial

Regulation
 
(collectively
 
referred
 
to
 
as
 
MiFID
 
II)
 
have
affected
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
markets
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
operates,
 
the
 
instruments
 
in
 
which
 
it
 
trades
 
and
 
the
 
way
 
it
 
transacts
 
with
 
market
 
counterparties
and
 
other
 
customers.
 
MiFID
 
II
 
is
 
currently
 
undergoing
 
a
 
review
 
process,
 
including
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
EU’s
 
ongoing
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
a
stronger
 
Capital
 
Markets
 
Union.
The
 
EU
 
Regulation
 
on
 
Sustainability-Related
 
Disclosures
 
introduces
 
disclosure
 
obligations
 
requiring
 
financial
 
institutions
 
to
 
explain
 
how
 
they
integrate
 
environmental,
 
social
 
and
 
governance
 
factors
 
in
 
their
 
investment
 
decisions
 
for
 
certain
 
financial
 
products.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
EU
 
Taxonomy
Regulation
 
provides
 
for
 
a
 
general
 
framework
 
for
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
an
 
EU-wide
 
classification
 
system
 
for
 
environmentally
 
sustainable
 
economic
activities.
 
Finally,
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
EU
 
regulators
 
are
 
consulting
 
on,
 
amongst
 
other
 
things,
 
proposals
 
for
 
regulatory
 
measures
 
to
 
enhance
 
climate
 
and
environmental
 
disclosures
 
and
 
climate
 
risk
 
assessments,
 
which
 
will
 
have
 
an
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
existing
 
practices
 
in
 
these
 
areas.
The
 
EU
 
Benchmarks
 
Regulation
 
applies
 
to
 
the
 
administration,
 
contribution
 
and
 
use
 
of
 
benchmarks
 
within
 
the
 
EU.
 
Financial
 
institutions
 
within
 
the
EU
 
are
 
prohibited
 
from
 
using
 
benchmarks
 
unless
 
their
 
administrators
 
are
 
authorised,
 
registered
 
or
 
otherwise
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
EU,
 
subject
 
to
transitional
 
provisions
 
expiring
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2022
 
(or
 
31
 
December
 
2022
 
under
 
the
 
UK
 
onshored
 
Benchmarks
 
Regulation).
 
Amendments
 
to
extend
 
these
 
provisions
 
are
 
underway
 
for
 
both
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
UK
 
Benchmarks
 
Regulations.
 
The
 
FCA
 
has
 
stated
 
that
 
it
 
does
 
not
 
intend
 
to
 
support
LIBOR
 
after
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021.
 
International
 
initiatives
 
in
 
conjunction
 
with
 
global
 
regulators
 
are
 
therefore
 
underway
 
to
 
develop
 
alternative
benchmarks
 
and
 
risk-free
 
rate
 
fallback
 
arrangements,
 
including
 
updates
 
to
 
existing,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
new,
 
applicable
 
legislation.
US
 
regulators
 
have
 
imposed
 
similar
 
rules
 
as
 
the
 
EU
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
mandatory
 
on-venue
 
trading
 
and
 
clearing
 
of
 
certain
 
derivatives,
 
and
post-trade
 
transparency,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
margining
 
of
 
OTC
 
derivatives.
 
US
 
regulators
 
have
 
finalised
 
certain
 
aspects
 
of
 
their
 
rules
with
 
respect
 
to
 
their
 
application
 
on
 
a
 
cross-border
 
basis,
 
including
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
their
 
registration
 
requirements
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
non-US
 
swap
dealers
 
and
 
security-based
 
swap
 
dealers.
 
The
 
regulators
 
may
 
adopt
 
further
 
rules,
 
or
 
provide
 
further
 
guidance,
 
regarding
 
cross-border
applicability.
 
In
 
December
 
2017,
 
the
 
CFTC
 
and
 
the
 
European
 
Commission
 
recognised
 
the
 
trading
 
venues
 
of
 
each
 
other’s
 
jurisdiction
 
to
 
allow
market
 
participants
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
mandatory
 
on-venue
 
trading
 
requirements
 
while
 
trading
 
on
 
certain
 
venues
 
recognised
 
by
 
the
 
other
jurisdiction.
 
In
 
November
 
2020,
 
the
 
CFTC
 
extended
 
temporary
 
relief
 
that
 
would
 
permit
 
trading
 
venues
 
and
 
market
 
participants
 
located
 
in
 
the
 
UK
to
 
continue
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
this
 
mutual
 
recognition
 
framework
 
following
 
the
 
withdrawal
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
from
 
the
 
EU.
Certain
 
participants
 
in
 
US
 
swap
 
markets
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
register
 
with
 
the
 
CFTC
 
as
 
‘swap
 
dealers’
 
or
 
‘major

and/or,
 
beginning
in
 
November
 
2021,
 
with
 
the
 
SEC
 
as
 
‘security-based
 
swap
 
dealers’
 
or
 
‘major
 
security-based
 
swap
 
participants’.
 
Such
 
registrants
 
are
 
subject
 
to
CFTC,
 
and
 
will
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
SEC,
 
regulation
 
and
 
oversight.
 
Entities
 
required
 
to
 
register
 
as
 
swap
 
dealers
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
business
 
conduct,
record-keeping
 
and
 
reporting
 
requirements
 
under
 
CFTC
 
rules.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
regulation
 
by
 
the
 
FRB,
 
and
 
has
 
provisionally
registered
 
with
 
the
 
CFTC
 
as
 
a
 
swap
 
dealer.
Accordingly,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
CFTC
 
rules
 
on
 
business
 
conduct,
 
record-keeping
 
and
 
reporting
 
and
 
to
 
FRB
 
rules
 
on
 
capital
 
and
margin.
 
The
 
CFTC
 
has
 
approved
 
certain
 
comparability
 
determinations
 
that
 
permit
 
substituted
 
compliance
 
with
 
non-US
 
regulatory
 
regimes
 
for
certain
 
swap
 
regulations.
 
Substituted
 
compliance
 
is
 
permitted
 
for
 
certain
 
transaction-level
 
requirements,
 
where
 
applicable,
 
only
 
with
 
respect
 
to
transactions
 
between
 
a
 
non-US
 
swap
 
dealer
 
and
 
a
 
non-US
 
counterparty,
 
whereas
 
entity-level
 
determinations
 
generally
 
apply
 
on
 
an
 
entity-wide
basis
 
regardless
 
of
 
counterparty
 
status.
 
In
 
November
 
2020,
 
the
 
CFTC
 
extended
 
temporary
 
relief
 
that
 
would
 
permit
 
swap
 
dealers
 
located
 
in
 
the
UK
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
existing
 
CFTC
 
substituted
 
compliance
 
determinations
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
EU
 
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a
 
withdrawal
 
of
the
 
UK
 
from
 
the
 
EU.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
CFTC
 
has
 
issued
 
guidance
 
that
 
would
 
require
 
a
 
non-US
 
swap
 
dealer
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
certain
 
CFTC
 
rules
 
in
connection
 
with
 
transactions
 
that
 
are
 
“arranged,
 
negotiated
 
or
 
executed”
 
from
 
the
 
US.
 
The
 
CFTC
 
has
 
provided
 
temporary
 
no-action
 
relief
 
from
application
 
of
 
the
 
guidance.
 
In
 
July
 
2020
 
the
 
CFTC
 
adopted
 
rules
 
that,
 
for
 
certain
 
CFTC
 
requirements,
 
codify
 
on
 
a
 
permanent
 
basis,
 
the
temporary
 
no-action
 
relief
 
for
 
transactions
 
that
 
are
 
arranged,
 
negotiated
 
or
 
executed
 
in
 
the
 
US.
 
The
 
final
 
rules
 
also
 
codify
 
certain
 
aspects
 
of
 
the
CFTC’s
 
current
 
cross-border
 
framework
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
internal
 
and
 
external
 
business
 
conduct
 
requirements,
 
and
 
it
 
is
 
expected
 
that
 
the
 
CFTC
will
 
introduce
 
additional
 
rules
 
addressing
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
cross-border
 
framework
 
to
 
mandatory
 
clearing,
 
trading
 
and
 
reporting
requirements.
 
In
 
October
 
2017,
 
the
 
CFTC
 
issued
 
an
 
order
 
permitting
 
substituted
 
compliance
 
with
 
EU
 
margin
 
rules
 
for
 
certain
 
uncleared
derivatives.
 
However,
 
as
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
margin
 
rules
 
of
 
the
 
FRB,
 
it
 
will
 
not
 
benefit
 
from
 
the
 
CFTC’s
 
action
 
unless
 
the
 
FRB
 
takes
 
a
similar
 
approach.
The
 
SEC
 
has
 
finalised
 
the
 
rules
 
governing
 
security
 
based
 
swap
 
dealer
 
registration
 
in
 
2015,
 
and
 
registration
 
of
 
security-based
 
swap
 
dealers,
 
as
well
 
as
 
compliance
 
with
 
applicable
 
security
 
based
 
swap
 
dealer
 
requirements,
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
begin
 
in
 
November
 
2021.
It
 
is
 
anticipated
 
that
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and/or
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
of
 
its
 
affiliates
 
will
 
be
 
required
 
to
 
register
 
as
 
a
 
security-based
 
swap
 
dealer
 
and
 
will
be
 
required
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
SEC’s
 
rules
 
for
 
security-based
 
swap
 
dealers.
 
These
 
rules
 
may
 
impose
 
costs
 
and
 
other
 
requirements
 
or
restrictions
 
that
 
could
 
impact
 
our
 
business.
 
As
 
with
 
similar
 
CFTC
 
rules,
 
it
 
is
 
expected
 
that
 
substituted
 
compliance
 
will
 
be
 
available
 
for
 
certain
security-based
 
swap
 
dealer
 
requirements;
 
however,
 
the
 
SEC
 
is
 
currently
 
considering
 
applications
 
for
 
substituted
 
compliance
 
but
 
has
 
only
 
issued
a
 
final
 
comparability
 
determination
 
for
 
Germany,
 
and
 
the
 
ultimate
 
scope
 
and
 
applicability
 
of
 
other
 
determinations,
 
including
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
UK,
remains
 
unclear.

Culture
Our
 
regulators
 
have
 
enhanced
 
their
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
promotion
 
of
 
cultural
 
values
 
as
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
for
 
banks,
 
although
 
they
 
generally
 
view
 
the
responsibility
 
for
 
reforming
 
culture
 
as
 
primarily
 
sitting
 
with
 
the

Data
 
protection
 
and
 
PSD2
Most
 
countries
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
operates
 
have
 
comprehensive
 
laws
 
requiring
 
openness
 
and
 
transparency
 
about
 
the
 
collection
 
and
 
use
 
of
personal
 
information,
 
and
 
protection
 
against
 
loss
 
and
 
unauthorised
 
or
 
improper
 
access.
 
The
 
EU’s
 
General
 
Data
 
Protection
 
Regulation
 
(GDPR)
created
 
a
 
broadly
 
harmonised
 
privacy
 
regime
 
across
 
EU
 
member
 
states,
 
introducing
 
mandatory
 
breach
 
notification,
 
enhanced
 
individual
 
rights,
a
 
need
 
to
 
openly
 
demonstrate
 
compliance,
 
and
 
significant
 
penalties
 
for
 
breaches.
 
The
 
extraterritorial
 
effect
 
of
 
the
 
GDPR
 
means
 
entities
established
 
outside
 
the
 
EU
 
may
 
fall
 
within
 
the
 
Regulation’s
 
ambit
 
when
 
offering
 
goods
 
or
 
services
 
to
 
European
 
based
 
customers
 
or
 
clients.
Following
 
the
 
UK’s
 
withdrawal
 
from
 
the
 
EU,
 
the
 
UK
 
continues
 
to
 
apply
 
the
 
GDPR
 
framework
 
(as
 
onshored
 
into
 
UK
 
law
 
and
 
hence
 
now
 
referred
to
 
as
 
the
 
‘UK

-
 
this
 
sits
 
alongside
 
an
 
amended
 
version
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
Data
 
Protection
 
Act
 
2018).
 
Two
 
years
 
after
 
its
 
introduction
 
the
 
GDPR
has
 
become
 
the
 
global
 
touchstone
 
as
 
countries
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
either
 
usher
 
in
 
or
 
contemplate
 
similar

their
 
existing

During

in

Cyber

Regulators
 
in
 
the

expectations
 
of
 
continuous
 
access
 
to

at
 
an
 
all-time
high.
 
This
 
is
 
evidenced
 
by
 
the
 
publication
 
of
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
proposed
 
laws
 
and
 
changes
 
to
 
regulatory

For
 
example,
 
the
 
UK
 
regulators
published
 
for
 
consultation
 
a
 
new
 
framework
 
for
 
operational
 
resilience
 
that
 
focuses
 
on
 
the

setting
impact
 
tolerances
 
for
 
them,
 
and
 
then

The

The

The
 
existing

Sanctions
 
and
 
financial
 
crime
The
 
UK
 
Bribery
 
Act
 
2010
 
introduced
 
a
 
new
 
form
 
of
 
corporate
 
criminal
 
liability
 
focused
 
broadly
 
on
 
a
 
company’s
 
failure
 
to
 
prevent
 
bribery
 
on
 
its
behalf.
 
The
 
Criminal
 
Finances
 
Act
 
2017
 
introduced
 
new
 
corporate
 
criminal
 
offences
 
of
 
failing
 
to
 
prevent
 
the
 
facilitation
 
of
 
UK
 
and
 
overseas
 
tax
evasion.
 
Both
 
pieces
 
of
 
legislation
 
have
 
broad
 
application
 
and
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances
 
may
 
have
 
extraterritorial
 
impact
 
on
 
entities,
 
persons
 
or
activities
 
located
 
outside
 
the
 
UK,
 
including
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
subsidiaries
 
outside
 
the
 
UK.
 
The
 
UK
 
Bribery
 
Act
 
requires
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
have
adequate
 
procedures
 
to
 
prevent
 
bribery
 
which,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
extraterritorial
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
Act,
 
makes
 
this
 
both
 
complex
 
and
 
costly.
 
Additionally,
 
the
Criminal
 
Finances
 
Act
 
requires
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
have
 
reasonable
 
prevention
 
procedures
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
prevent
 
the
 
criminal
 
facilitation
 
of
 
tax
 
evasion
 
by
persons
 
acting
 
for,
 
or
 
on
 
behalf
 
of,
 
the
 
Group.
 
In
 
May
 
2018,
 
the
 
Sanctions
 
and
 
Anti-Money
 
Laundering
 
Act
 
became

allows
 
for
 
the
 
adoption
 
of
 
an
 
autonomous
 
UK
sanctions
 
regime,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
a
 
more
 
flexible
 
licensing
 
regime
 
post-Brexit.
 
On
 
6
 
July
 
2020,
 
the
 
UK
 
Government
 
announced
 
the
 
first
 
sanctions
 
that
have
 
been
 
implemented
 
independently
 
by
 
the
 
UK
 
outside
 
the
 
auspices
 
of
 
the
 
UN
 
and
 
EU.
 
The
 
autonomous
 
UK
 
sanctions
 
regime
 
came
 
into
force
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2021.
 
Those
 
sanctions
 
apply
 
within
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
conduct
 
of
 
all
 
UK
 
persons
 
wherever
 
they
 
are
 
in
 
the
 
world;
they
 
also
 
apply
 
to
 
overseas
 
branches
 
of
 
UK
 
companies.

thereunder
 
contain
numerous
 
anti-money

In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
US

Annual

on
 
Form
 
20-F
In
 
assessing
 
the
 
financial
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
Group,
 
management
 
uses
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
KPIs
 
which
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
strength,
 
the
delivery
 
of
 
sustainable
 
returns
 
and
 
cost
 
management.
 
Barclays
 
continues
 
to
 
target
 
greater
 
than
 
10%
 
RoTE
 
over
 
time.
 
However,
 
given
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
a
 
meaningful
 
improvement
 
in
 
returns
 
versus
 
2019
 
was
 
not
 
possible
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
challenging
 
operating
 
environment.
 
Cost
discipline
 
remains
 
a
 
priority
 
and
 
management
 
continues
 
to
 
target
 
a
 
cost:
 
income
 
ratio
 
lower
 
than
 
60%
 
over
 
time.
Non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
The
 
Group’s
 
management
 
believes
 
that
 
the
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
included
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
provide
 
valuable
 
information
 
to
 
the
readers
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
as
 
they
 
enable
 
the
 
reader
 
to
 
identify
 
a
 
more
 
consistent
 
basis
 
for
 
comparing
 
the
 
businesses’
 
performance
between
 
financial
 
periods,
 
and
 
provide
 
more
 
detail
 
concerning
 
the
 
elements
 
of
 
performance
 
which
 
the
 
managers
 
of
 
these
 
businesses
 
are
 
most
directly
 
able
 
to
 
influence
 
or
 
are
 
relevant
 
for
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
They
 
also
 
reflect
 
an
 
important
 
aspect
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
operating
targets
 
are
 
defined
 
and
 
performance
 
is
 
monitored
 
by
 
management.
 
However,
 
any
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
are
 
not
 
a
substitute
 
for
 
IFRS
 
measures
 
and
 
readers
 
should
 
consider
 
the
 
IFRS
 
measures
 
as
 
well.

of
 
the
 
regulatory

how

Capital

express
 
a

as
 
a
percentage
 
of
 
its
 
RWAs
 
as
defined
 
by
 
the
 
PRA.
CET1

is
 
a
 
measure
 
of
capital
 
that
 
is
 
predominantly
common

defined
 
by
 
the
CRR,
 
as
 
amended
 
by
 
CRR
 
II.
The
 
Group’s
 
capital
 
management
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
maximise
 
shareholder
 
value
by
 
prudently
 
managing
 
the
 
level
 
and
 
mix
 
of
 
its
 
capital
 
to:
 
ensure
 
the
 
Group
and
 
all
 
of
 
its
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
appropriately
 
capitalised
 
relative
 
to
 
their
regulatory
 
minimum
 
and
 
stressed
 
capital
 
requirements,
 
support
 
the
 
Group’s
risk
 
appetite,
 
growth
 
and
 
strategic
 
options,
 
while
 
seeking
 
to
 
maintain
 
a
 
robust
credit
 
proposition
 
for
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
The
 
CET1
 
ratio
 
increased
 
to
 
15.1%
 
(2019:
 
13.8%),
 
reflecting
 
headroom
 
of
3.9%
 
above
 
the

hurdle
 
of
 
11.2%.
 
CET1

£7.9bn
 
of

excluding
 
credit
 
impairment
 
charges
 
of
 
£4.8bn
 
and
 
a
 
£1.0bn
 
increase
 
due
to
 
the
 
cancellation
 
of
 
the
 
full

These
 
increases
 
were
partially

by

the

RWAs
 
increased

Pre-provision
 
profits
a
 
were
 
broadly
 
stable
 
at
 
£8,056m
 
despite
 
the

The

management
 
believes
 
that
 
the
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
included
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
provide
 
valuable
 
information
 
to
 
the
readers
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
as
 
they
 
enable
 
the
 
reader
 
to
 
identify
 
a
 
more
 
consistent
 
basis
 
for
 
comparing
 
the
 
businesses’
 
performance
between
 
financial
 
periods,
 
and
 
provide
 
more
 
detail
 
concerning
 
the
 
elements
 
of
 
performance
 
which
 
the
 
managers
 
of
 
these
 
businesses
 
are
 
most
directly
 
able
 
to
 
influence
 
or
 
are
 
relevant
 
for
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
Group.
 
They
 
also
 
reflect
 
an
 
important
 
aspect
 
of
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
operating
targets
 
are
 
defined
 
and
 
performance
 
is
 
monitored
 
by
 
management.
However,
 
any
 
non-IFRS
 
performance
 
measures
 
in
 
this
 
document
 
are
 
not
 
a
 
substitute
 
for
 
IFRS

and
 
readers
 
should
 
consider
 
the
 
IFRS
measures
 
as

Basis
 
for
 
Opinions
 
The
 
Company’s
 
management
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
these
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
for
 
maintaining
 
effective
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
reporting,
 
and
 
for
 
its
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting,
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
accompanying
Management’s
report
 
on
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
.
 
Our
 
responsibility
 
is
 
to
 
express
 
an
 
opinion
 
on
 
the
 
Company’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
and
 
an
 
opinion
 
on
 
the
 
Company’s
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
based
 
on
 
our
 
audits.
 
We
 
are
 
a
 
public
 
accounting
 
firm
 
registered
 
with
the
 
Public
 
Company
 
Accounting
 
Oversight
 
Board
 
(United
 
States)
 
(PCAOB)
 
and
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
be
 
independent
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
Company
 
in
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
U.S.
 
federal
 
securities
 
laws
 
and
 
the
 
applicable
 
rules
 
and
 
regulations
 
of
 
the
 
Securities
 
and
 
Exchange
 
Commission
 
and
 
the
PCAOB.
We
 
conducted
 
our
 
audits
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
standards
 
of
 
the
 
PCAOB.
 
Those
 
standards
 
require
 
that
 
we
 
plan
 
and
 
perform
 
the
 
audits
 
to
obtain
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
about
 
whether
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
free
 
of
 
material
 
misstatement,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
error
 
or
fraud,
 
and
 
whether
 
effective
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
was
 
maintained
 
in
 
all
 
material
 
respects.
 
Our
 
audits
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
included
 
performing
 
procedures
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
risks
 
of
 
material
 
misstatement
 
of
 
the
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
error
 
or
 
fraud,
 
and
 
performing
 
procedures
 
that
 
respond
 
to
 
those
 
risks.
 
Such
 
procedures
included
 
examining,
 
on
 
a
 
test
 
basis,
 
evidence
 
regarding
 
the
 
amounts
 
and
 
disclosures
 
in
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements.
 
Our
 
audits
 
also
included
 
evaluating
 
the
 
accounting
 
principles
 
used
 
and
 
significant
 
estimates
 
made
 
by
 
management,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
evaluating
 
the
 
overall
presentation
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements.
 
Our
 
audit
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
included
 
obtaining
 
an
 
understanding
 
of
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting,
 
assessing
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
a
 
material
 
weakness
 
exists,
 
and
 
testing
 
and
 
evaluating
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
operating
effectiveness
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
assessed
 
risk.
 
Our
 
audits
 
also
 
included
 
performing
 
such
 
other
 
procedures
 
as
 
we
 
considered
necessary
 
in
 
the
 
circumstances.
 
We
 
believe
 
that
 
our
 
audits
 
provide
 
a
 
reasonable
 
basis
 
for
 
our
 
opinions.
Definition
 
and
 
Limitations
 
of
 
Internal
 
Control
 
Over
 
Financial
 
Reporting
 
A
 
company’s
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
is
 
a
 
process
 
designed
 
to
 
provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
regarding
 
the
 
reliability
 
of
 
financial
reporting
 
and
 
the
 
preparation
 
of
 
financial
 
statements
 
for
 
external
 
purposes
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
generally
 
accepted
 
accounting
 
principles.
 
A
company’s
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
includes
 
those
 
policies
 
and
 
procedures
 
that
 
(1)
 
pertain
 
to
 
the
 
maintenance
 
of
 
records
 
that,
 
in
reasonable
 
detail,
 
accurately
 
and
 
fairly
 
reflect
 
the
 
transactions
 
and
 
dispositions
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
of
 
the
 
company;
 
(2)
 
provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
that
 
transactions
 
are
 
recorded
 
as
 
necessary
 
to
 
permit
 
preparation
 
of
 
financial
 
statements
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
generally
 
accepted
 
accounting
principles,
 
and
 
that
 
receipts
 
and
 
expenditures
 
of
 
the
 
company
 
are
 
being
 
made
 
only
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
authorizations
 
of
 
management
 
and
directors
 
of
 
the
 
company;
 
and
 
(3)
 
provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
regarding
 
prevention
 
or
 
timely
 
detection
 
of
 
unauthorized
 
acquisition,
 
use,
 
or
disposition
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
assets
 
that
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
Because
 
of
 
its
 
inherent
 
limitations,
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
may
 
not
 
prevent
 
or
 
detect
 
misstatements.
 
Also,
 
projections
 
of
 
any
evaluation
 
of
 
effectiveness
 
to
 
future
 
periods
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
controls
 
may
 
become
 
inadequate
 
because
 
of
 
changes
 
in
 
conditions,
 
or
that
 
the
 
degree
 
of
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
policies
 
or
 
procedures
 
may
 
deteriorate.
Critical

are
 
the

Valuation
 
of
 
certain
 
difficult-to-value
 
financial
 
instruments
 
recorded
 
at
 
fair
 
value
As
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note
 
17
 
to
 
the
 
Company’s
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
the
 
balance
 
of
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
recorded
 
at
 
fair
 
value
as
 
at
 
December
 
31,
 
2020
 
was
 
£684.2bn
 
and
 
£597.9bn,
 
respectively.
 
Of
 
these
 
amounts,
 
Level
 
3
 
assets
 
(£15.0bn)
 
and
 
liabilities
 
(£6.6bn)
represented
 
2.2%
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
financial
 
assets
 
carried
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
and
 
1.0%
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
financial
 
liabilities
 
carried
 
at
 
fair
 
value.
 
The
Company
 
has
 
Level
 
2
 
financial
 
assets
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
£575.1bn
 
and
 
financial
 
liabilities
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
£558.0bn.
 
Included
 
in
 
these
 
amounts
 
are
certain
 
difficult-to-value
 
fair
 
value
 
financial
 
instruments
 
for
 
which
 
the
 
Company
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
apply
 
valuation
 
techniques
 
which
 
often
 
involve
 
the
exercise
 
of
 
significant
 
judgement
 
and
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
assumptions
 
and
 
valuation
 
models.
 
We
 
identified
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
certain
 
difficult
 
-to-value
 
financial
 
instruments
 
recorded
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
as
 
a
 
critical
 
audit
 
m
 
atter.
 
This
 
is
 
because
 
there
was
 
significant
 
measurement
 
uncertainty
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
estimates
 
of
 
these
 
instruments
 
and
 
subjective
 
auditor
 
judgment
 
was
required
 
to
 
evaluate
 
pricing
 
data
 
inputs,
 
valuation
 
models
 
and
 
fair
 
value
 
adjustments
 
(“FVA”),
 
including
 
portfolio-level
 
FVAs
 
related
 
to
 
credit
 
and
funding
 
(commonly
 
referred
 
to
 
as
 
“XVAs”).
 
The
 
following
 
are
 
the
 
primary
 
procedures
 
we
 
performed
 
to
 
address
 
this
 
critical
 
audit
 
matter:
 
We
 
evaluated
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
tested
 
the
 
operating
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
certain
 
internal
 
controls
 
over
 
the
 
Company’s
 
process
 
to
 
measure
 
fair
value
 
of
 
these
 
portfolios.
 
This
 
included
 
controls
 
related
 
to
 
(1)
 
the
 
independent
 
price
 
verification
 
(‘IPV’)
 
of
 
certain
 
market
 
pricing
 
data
 
inputs,
(2)
 
the
 
determination
 
or
 
calculation
 
of
 
FVAs,
 
including
 
exit
 
adjustments
 
(to
 
mark
 
the
 
portfolio
 
to
 
bid
 
or
 
offer
 
prices),
 
model
 
shortcoming
reserves
 
to
 
address
 
model
 
limitations
 
and
 
XVAs
 
and
 
(3)
 
the
 
validation,
 
implementation
 
and
 
usage
 
of
 
valuation
 
models
 
including
 
assessment
of
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
model
 
limitations
 
and
 
assumptions;
 
For
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
material
 
collateral
 
disputes
 
identified
 
through
 
management’s
 
control
 
we
 
challenged
 
management’s
 
valuation
 
where
significant
 
fair
 
value
 
differences
 
were
 
observable
 
through
 
comparison
 
with
 
the
 
market
 
participant’s
 
valuation
 
on
 
the
 
other
 
side
 
of
 
the
 
trade;
 
For
 
a
 
subset
 
of
 
portfolios
 
that
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
collateralization,
 
we
 
assessed
 
the
 
valuation
 
methodology,
 
and
 
in
 
certain
 
instances
 
for
 
trades
that
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
collateral
 
disputes,
 
developed
 
an
 
independent
 
estimate
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
for
 
those
 
trades
 
based
 
on
 
external
 
datasets.
 
We
 
performed
 
a
 
retrospective
 
review
 
by
 
inspecting
 
significant
 
gains
 
and
 
losses
 
on
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
new
 
trades,
 
trade
 
exits,
 
novations
 
and
restructurings
 
and
 
evaluated
 
whether
 
these
 
data
 
points
 
indicated
 
elements
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
not
 
incorporated
 
in
 
the
 
current
 
valuation
methodologies;

who
 
assisted
 
in
 
the

of
 
significant
 
models
 
and

used
 
in
 
calculating

and
 
in

from
 
the

Recoverability
 
of
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
As
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note
 
22
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
the
 
Company
 
had
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
 
with
 
a
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
£3.9bn
 
and
 
£4.1bn
 
respectively
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
The
 
Company
 
performs
 
impairment
 
testing
 
for
 
its
 
intangible
 
assets
 
with
 
indefinite
 
useful
lives
 
and
 
its
 
goodwill
 
acquired
 
in
 
business
 
combinations
 
at
 
least
 
on
 
an
 
annual
 
basis,
 
by
 
comparing
 
the
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
of
 
a
 
cash
 
generating
unit
 
(‘CGU’)
 
with
 
its
 
respective
 
carrying
 
amount.
 
The
 
methodology
 
for
 
the
 
determination
 
of
 
the
 
tangible
 
equity
 
of
 
the
 
individual
 
cash
 
generating
units
 
utilizes
 
a
 
capital
 
allocation
 
rate
 
that
 
reflects
 
the
 
relative
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
 
the
 
CGU.
 
The
 
CGU-specific
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
 
are
subsequently
 
added
 
to
 
the
 
CGU-specific
 
tangible
 
equity
 
to
 
arrive
 
at
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
impairment
 
test.
 
The
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
is
based
 
on
 
the
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
(‘VIU’)
 
of
 
each
 
CGU,
 
as
 
determined
 
by
 
management's
 
discounted
 
estimated
 
future
 
cash
 
flows.
We
 
identified
 
the
 
recoverability
 
of
 
the
 
Company's
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
 
as
 
a
 
critical
 
audit
 
matter.
 
Subjective
 
and
 
complex
 
auditor
judgement
 
was
 
required
 
in
 
evaluating
 
the
 
underlying
 
significant
 
assumptions,
 
including
 
the
 
capital
 
allocation
 
rate
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
carrying
value
 
of
 
the
 
CGU,
 
the
 
estimated
 
future
 
cash
 
flows,
 
which
 
have
 
been
 
forecasted
 
using
 
the
 
Group’s
 
Medium
 
Term
 
Plan
 
(‘MTP’)
 
and
 
include
adjustments
 
from
 
those
 
MTP
 
cash
 
flows
 
to
 
reflect
 
developments
 
in
 
macro-economic
 
conditions
 
and
 
business
 
developments,
 
and
 
the
 
discount
rate
 
and
 
the
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
used
 
to
 
extrapolate
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
beyond
 
the
 
period
 
covered
 
by
 
management’s
 
forecasts.
 
Minor
 
changes
to
 
those
 
assumptions
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Company’s
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets.
 
In
 
addition,
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge
 
were
 
required
 
in
 
assessing
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
used
 
and
 
the
 
methodology
over
 
the
 
determination
 
of
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
each
 
CGU
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
its
 
capital
 
allocation,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
management’s
 
calculation
 
of
 
VIU,
 
to
assess
 
their
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
the
 
accounting
 
standard.
 
The
 
following
 
are
 
the
 
primary
 
procedures
 
we
 
performed
 
to
 
address
 
this
 
critical
 
audit
 
matter.
We
 
evaluated
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
tested
 
the
 
operating
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
certain
 
internal
 
controls
 
over
 
the
 
Company’s
 
methodology
 
and
 
process
 
to
estimate
 
the
 
VIU
 
of
 
each
 
CGU
 
and
 
capital
 
allocation
 
rate.
 
This
 
included
 
controls
 
over
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
impairment
 
methodology,
preparation
 
of
 
the
 
estimated
 
future
 
cash
 
flows,
 
and
 
review
 
of
 
the
 
significant
 
assumptions
 
in
 
determining
 
the
 
VIU.
 
We
 
compared
 
certain
 
assumptions,
 
including
 
certain
 
estimated
 
future
 
cash
 
flows,
 
the
 
discount
 
rates
 
and
 
the
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
to
externally
 
derived
 
data
 
including
 
analyst
 
broker
 
reports,
 
peer
 
bank
 
data
 
and
 
projected
 
economic
 
growth.
We
 
involved
 
valuations
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge
 
who
 
assisted
 
in:
o
evaluating
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
used
 
by
 
independently
 
developing
 
discount
 
rate
 
ranges
 
using
 
external
 
data
 
sources
and
 
peer
 
bank
 
data;
 
and
o
assessing
 
whether
 
the
 
methodology
 
over
 
the
 
determination
 
of
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
each
 
CGU
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
its
 
capital
 
allocation,
 
as
well
 
as
 
management’s
 
calculation
 
of
 
VIU
 
is
 
compliant
 
with
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
the
 
accounting
 
standard.
We
 
performed
 
a
 
retrospective
 
review
 
by
 
comparing
 
the
 
MTP
 
from
 
previous
 
years
 
to
 
actual
 
results
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
Company’s
 
ability
 
to
accurately
 
prepare
 
forecasts.

(‘UKRF’)
As
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note
 
33
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
the
 
Company
 
operates
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
plans
 
and
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the

relates
 
to
 
the
 
UKRF.
 
The
 
total
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
defined

and
 
the
 
associated
 
assets
 
offsetting
 
these
 
obligations
as
 
of
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
was
 
£33.2bn
 
and
 
£34.7bn,
 
respectively.
 
Of
 
these
 
amounts,
 
£32.1bn
 
of
 
the
 
obligation
 
and
 
£33.9bn
 
of
 
the
 
asset
 
are
related
 
to
 
UKRF.
 
The
 
determination
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
asset
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
these
 
plans
 
is
 
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
selection
 
of
certain
 
actuarial
 
assumptions,
 
including
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
used.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
UKRF
 
is
 
invested
 
in
 
a
 
diverse
 
portfolio
 
which
 
includes
 
certain
difficult
 
-to-value
 
pension
 
plan
 
assets,
 
including
 
property
 
and
 
private
 
equity
 
investments.
 
We
 
identified
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
the
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
obligation
 
and
 
certain
 
difficult
 
-to-value
 
pension
 
assets
 
in
 
respect
 
of

as
 
a
 
critical

matter.
 
Subjective
 
and
 
complex
 
auditor
 
judgement,
 
including
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge,
 
was
 
required
 
in
 
evaluating
 
the

(‘RPI’)
 
volatility
 
impact
 
on
 
pension

assumptions
 
used,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
methodology
 
used
 
by
Company
 
to
 
determine
 
these
 
assumptions,
 
as
 
small
 
changes
 
would
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
measurement
 
of
 
the
 
defined
 
benefit
pension
 
obligation.
 
In
 
addition,
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge
 
were
 
required
 
in
 
assessing
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
certain
 
difficult
 
-to-value
 
pension
plan
 
assets,
 
specifically
 
property
 
and
 
private

investments,
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
subjective
 
nature
 
of

required
 
of

and
 
the

associated
 
with
 
the

The
 
following
 
are
 
the
 
primary

we
 
performed
 
to
 
address
 
this
 
critical
 
audit
 
matter.
 
We
 
evaluated
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
tested
 
the
 
operating
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
certain
 
internal
 
controls
 
over
 
the
 
Company’s
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
obligation
 
process.
 
This
 
included
 
controls
 
related
 
to
 
(1)
 
management’s
 
review
 
of
 
IAS19
 
assumptions
 
including
 
discount
 
rate,
 
RPI
 
volatility
impact
 
on
 
pension
 
increases
 
and

assumptions
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
methodology
 
used,
 
(2)

controls
 
including
 
over
 
property
valuation
 
and
 
(3)
 
private

retrospective

controls.
 
We
 
involved
 
actuarial
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and

who
 
assisted
 
in
 
an
 
independent
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
methodology
used,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
following

of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
methodology
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
assumptions
 
by
 
comparing
 
to
 
generally

and
 
o
 
evaluating
 
the

of
 
selected
 
assumptions
 
against
 
publicly
 
available
 
benchmark
 
information.
 
We
 
involved
 
property
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge
 
who
 
assisted
 
in
 
the
 
following:
o
 
evaluating
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
property
 
portfolio
 
by
 
analysing
 
the
 
year
 
on
 
year
 
movement;
 
and
o
 
assessing
 
the
 
movement
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
within
 
the
 
property
 
portfolio
 
and
 
challenging
 
the
 
returns
 
per
 
the
 
Company’s
 
expert
 
for
 
a
 
selection
of
 
specific
 
properties
 
within
 
the
 
portfolio
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
equivalent
 
yields
 
observed
 
in
 
the
 
applicable
 
property
 
market.
 
For
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
private
 
equity
 
interests,
 
we
 
performed
 
a
 
retrospective
 
review
 
by
 
comparing
 
the
 
Company’s
 
previous
 
estimates
 
of
 
fair
 
value
of
 
the
 
net
 
asset
 
value
 
(‘NAV’)
 
to
 
the
 
NAVs
 
audited
 
by
 
third
 
parties
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
Company’s
 
ability
 
to
 
accurately
 
estimate
 
fair
 
value.
 
We
 
evaluated
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
best
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
its
 
private
 
equity
 
interests
 
by
 
developing
 
an
independent
 
estimate
 
of
 
market
 
movement
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
Company’s
 
specific
 
portfolio
 
and

Basis
 
of
 
preparation
The
 
consolidated
 
and
 
separate
 
financial
 
statements
 
have
 
been
 
prepared
 
under
 
the
 
historical
 
cost
 
convention
 
modified
 
to
 
include
 
the
 
fair
valuation
 
of
 
investment
 
property,
 
and
 
particular
 
financial
 
instruments,
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
required
 
or
 
permitted
 
under
 
IFRS
 
as
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
relevant
accounting
 
policies.
 
They
 
are
 
stated
 
in
 
millions
 
of
 
pounds
 
Sterling
 
(£m),
 
the
 
functional
 
currency
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC.
The
 
financial
 
statements
 
have
 
been
 
prepared
 
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
basis,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006
 
as
 
applicable
 
to
companies
 
using
 
IFRS.
 
The
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
prepared
 
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
basis,
 
as
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
satisfied
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
the
 
parent
company
 
have
 
the
 
resources
 
to
 
continue
 
in
 
business
 
for
 
a
 
period
 
of
 
at
 
least
 
12
 
months
 
from
 
approval
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
 
In
 
making
 
this
 
assessment,
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
considered
 
a
 
wide
 
range
 
of
 
information
 
relating
 
to
 
present
 
and
 
future
 
conditions
 
and
 
includes
 
a
review
 
of
 
a
 
working
 
capital
 
report
 
(WCR).
 
The
 
WCR
 
is
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
Directors
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
future
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
and
 
that
 
it
 
has
 
the
resources
 
in
 
place
 
that
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
ongoing
 
regulatory
 
requirements.
 
The
 
assessment
 
is
 
based
 
upon
 
business
 
plans
 
which
 
contain
future
 
projections
 
of
 
profitability
 
taken
 
from
 
the
 
Group’s
 
three
 
year
 
medium-term
 
plan
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
projections
 
of
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
requirements
and
 
business
 
funding
 
needs.
 
The
 
WCR
 
also
 
includes
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
internally
 
generated
 
stress
 
testing
 
scenarios
 
on
 
the
liquidity
 
and
 
capital
 
requirement
 
forecasts.
 
The
 
stress
 
tests
 
used
 
were
 
based
 
upon
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
reasonably
 
possible
 
downside
 
economic
scenarios
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
could
 
experience.
 
The
 
WCR
 
showed
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
had
 
sufficient
 
capital
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
support
 
its
 
future
 
business
 
requirements
 
and
 
remained
 
above
 
its
 
regulatory
minimum
 
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
stress
 
scenarios.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
Directors
 
concluded
 
that
 
there
 
was
 
a
 
reasonable
 
expectation
 
that
 
the
 
Group
and
 
parent
 
company
 
has
 
adequate
 
resources
 
to
 
continue
 
as
 
a
 
Going
 
Concern
 
for
 
a
 
period
 
of
 
at
 
least
 
12
 
months
 
from

date
 
of

of

Accounting

that

the
 
financial

as
 
a

are
 
set
 
out
 
below.
(i)
 
Consolidation
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
IFRS

Consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
.
The
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
combine
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
all
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
 
Subsidiaries
 
are
 
entities
 
over
which
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
has
 
control.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
control
 
over
 
another
 
entity
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
following:
 
1)
 
power
 
over
 
the
 
relevant
 
activities
 
of
 
the
 
investee,
 
for
 
example
 
through
 
voting
 
or
 
other
 
rights
2)
 
exposure
 
to,
 
or
 
rights
 
to,
 
variable
 
returns
 
from
 
its
 
involvement
 
with
 
the
 
investee,
 
and
3)
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
affect
 
those
 
returns
 
through
 
its
 
power
 
over
 
the
 
investee.
The
 
assessment
 
of
 
control
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
consideration
 
of
 
all
 
facts
 
and
 
circumstances.
 
The
 
Group
 
reassesses
 
whether
 
it
 
controls
 
an
 
investee
 
if
facts
 
and
 
circumstances
 
indicate
 
that
 
there
 
are
 
changes
 
to
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
of
 
the
 
three
 
elements
 
of
 
control.
Intra-group
 
transactions
 
and
 
balances
 
are
 
eliminated
 
on
 
consolidation.
 
Consistent
 
accounting
 
policies
 
are
 
used
 
throughout
 
the
 
Group
 
for
 
the
purposes
 
of
 
the
 
consolidation.
Changes
 
in
 
ownership
 
interests
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
equity
 
transactions
 
if
 
they
 
occur
 
after
 
control
 
has
 
already
 
been
 
obtained
and
 
they
 
do
 
not
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of
 
control.
As
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
include
 
partnerships
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
member
 
is
 
a

The

financial

it

to
 
the

accounting
 
is
 
applied
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
classification
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
asset.
Classification
 
and
 
measurement
Financial
 
assets
 
are
 
classified
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
two
 
criteria:
 
i)
 
the
 
business
 
model
 
within
 
which
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
managed,
 
and
 
ii)
 
their
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flow
 
characteristics
 
(whether
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
represent
 
‘solely
 
payments
 
of
 
principal
 
and
 
interest’
 
(SPPI)).
The
 
Group
 
assesses
 
the
 
business
 
model
 
criteria
 
at
 
a
 
portfolio
 
level.
 
Information
 
that
 
is
 
considered
 
in
 
determining
 
the
 
applicable
 
business
 
model
includes
 
(i)
 
policies
 
and
 
objectives
 
for
 
the
 
relevant
 
portfolio,
 
(ii)
 
how
 
the
 
performance
 
and
 
risks
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
are
 
managed,
 
evaluated
 
and
reported
 
to
 
management,
 
and
 
(iii)
 
the
 
frequency,
 
volume
 
and
 
timing
 
of
 
sales
 
in
 
prior
 
periods,
 
sales
 
expectation
 
for
 
future
 
periods,
 
and
 
the
reasons
 
for
 
such
 
sales.
The
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flow
 
characteristics
 
of
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
assessed
 
with
 
reference
 
to
 
whether
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
represent
 
SPPI.
 
In
 
assessing
whether
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
are
 
SPPI
 
compliant,
 
interest
 
is
 
defined
 
as
 
consideration
 
primarily
 
for
 
the
 
time
 
value
 
of
 
money
 
and
 
the
 
credit
 
risk
of
 
the
 
principal
 
outstanding.
 
The
 
time
 
value
 
of
 
money
 
is
 
defined
 
as
 
the
 
element
 
of
 
interest
 
that
 
provides
 
consideration
 
only
 
for
 
the
 
passage
 
of
time
 
and
 
not
 
consideration
 
for
 
other
 
risks
 
or
 
costs
 
associated
 
with
 
holding
 
the
 
financial
 
asset.
 
Terms
 
that
 
could
 
change
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
flows
 
so
 
that
 
it
 
would
 
not
 
meet
 
the
 
condition
 
for
 
SPPI
 
are
 
considered,
 
including:
 
(i)
 
contingent
 
and
 
leverage
 
features,
 
(ii)
 
non-recourse
arrangements
 
and
 
(iii)
 
features
 
that
 
could
 
modify
 
the
 
time
 
value
 
of
 
money.
Financial
 
assets
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost
 
if
 
they
 
are
 
held
 
within
 
a
 
business
 
model
 
whose
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
hold
 
financial
 
assets
 
in
 
order
 
to
collect
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows,
 
and
 
their
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
represent
 
SPPI.
Financial
 
assets
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income
 
if
 
they
 
are
 
held
 
within
 
a
 
business
 
model
 
whose
 
objective
 
is
achieved
 
by
 
both
 
collecting
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
and
 
selling
 
financial
 
assets,
 
and
 
their
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
represent
 
SPPI.
Other
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
and
 
loss.
 
There
 
is

the
 
relevant
 
note

The
 
Group’s
 
policies
 
for
determining
 
the
 
fair
 
values
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
are
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
Note
 
17.
Derecognition
The
 
Group
 
derecognises
 
a
 
financial
 
asset,
 
or
 
a
 
portion
 
of
 
a
 
financial
 
asset,
 
from
 
its
 
balance
 
sheet
 
where
 
the
 
contractual
 
rights
 
to
 
cash
 
flows
from
 
the
 
asset
 
have
 
expired,
 
or
 
have
 
been
 
transferred,
 
usually
 
by
 
sale,
 
and
 
with
 
them
 
either
 
substantially
 
all
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
of
 
the
 
asset
or
 
significant
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards,
 
along
 
with
 
the
 
unconditional
 
ability
 
to
 
sell
 
or
 
pledge
 
the
 
asset.
Financial
 
liabilities
 
are
 
de-recognised
 
when
 
the
 
liability
 
has
 
been
 
settled,
 
has
 
expired
 
or
 
has
 
been
 
extinguished.
 
An
 
exchange
 
of
 
an
 
existing
financial
 
liability
 
for
 
a
 
new
 
liability
 
with
 
the
 
same
 
lender
 
on
 
substantially
 
different
 
terms
 
 
generally
 
a
 
difference
 
of
 
10%
 
or
 
more
 
in
 
the
 
present
value
 
of
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
or
 
a
 
substantive
 
qualitative
 
amendment
 
 
is
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
an
 
extinguishment
 
of
 
the
 
original
 
financial
 
liability
 
and
 
the
recognition
 
of
 
a
 
new
 
financial
 
liability.
Transactions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
transfers
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities,
 
portions
 
of
 
them,
 
or
 
financial
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
them
 
can
 
be
 
complex
 
and
 
it
may
 
not
 
be
 
obvious
 
whether
 
substantially
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
have
 
been
 
transferred.
 
It
 
is
 
often
 
necessary
 
to
 
perform
 
a
 
quantitative
analysis.
 
Such
 
an
 
analysis
 
compares
 
the
 
Group’s
 
exposure
 
to
 
variability
 
in
 
asset
 
cash
 
flows
 
before
 
the
 
transfer
 
with
 
its
 
retained
 
exposure
 
after
the
 
transfer.
A
 
cash
 
flow
 
analysis
 
of
 
this
 
nature
 
may
 
require
 
judgement.
 
In
 
particular,
 
it
 
is
 
necessary
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
asset’s
 
expected
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
as
well
 
as
 
potential
 
variability
 
around
 
this
 
expectation.
 
The
 
method
 
of
 
estimating
 
expected
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
depends
 
on
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
asset,
with
 
market
 
and
 
market-implied
 
data
 
used
 
to
 
the
 
greatest
 
extent
 
possible.
 
The
 
potential
 
variability
 
around
 
this
 
expectation
 
is
 
typically
 
determined
by
 
stressing
 
underlying
 
parameters
 
to
 
create
 
reasonable
 
alternative
 
upside
 
and
 
downside
 
scenarios.
 
Probabilities
 
are
 
then
 
assigned
 
to
 
each
scenario.
 
Stressed
 
parameters
 
may
 
include
 
default
 
rates,
 
loss
 
severity,
 
or
 
prepayment
 
rates.

for
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
collateral,
 
generally
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
marketable
 
securities
 
subject
 
to
 
an
 
agreement
 
to
 
transfer
 
the
securities
 
back
 
at
 
a
 
fixed
 
price
 
in
 
the
 
future.
 
Repurchase
 
agreements
 
are
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
obtains
 
such
 
loans
 
or
 
cash
 
collateral,
 
in
 
exchange
 
for
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
collateral.
The
 
Group
 
purchases
 
(a
 
reverse
 
repurchase
 
agreement)
 
or
 
borrows
 
securities
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
commitment
 
to
 
resell
 
or
 
return
 
them.
 
The
 
securities
are
 
not
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
as
 
the
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
acquire
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
of
 
ownership.
 
Consideration
 
paid
 
(or
 
cash
 
collateral
provided)
 
is
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
a
 
loan
 
asset
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost,
 
unless
 
it
 
is
 
designated
 
or
 
mandatorily
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
and
 
loss.
 
The
 
Group
 
may
 
also
 
sell
 
(a
 
repurchase
 
agreement)
 
or
 
lend
 
securities
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
commitment
 
to
 
repurchase
 
or
 
redeem
 
them.
 
The
 
securities
are
 
retained
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
as
 
the
 
Group
 
retains
 
substantially
 
all
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
of
 
ownership.
 
Consideration
 
received
 
(or
 
cash
collateral
 
provided)
 
is
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
a
 
financial
 
liability
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost,
 
unless
 
it
 
is
 
designated
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
and
 
loss.
(iv)
 
Issued
 
debt
 
and
 
equity
 
instruments
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
IAS
 
32,
Financial
 
Instruments:
 
Presentation
,
 
to
 
determine
 
whether
 
funding
 
is
 
either
 
a
 
financial
 
liability
 
(debt)
 
or
 
equity.
Issued
 
financial
 
instruments
 
or
 
their
 
components
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
liabilities
 
if
 
the
 
contractual
 
arrangement
 
results
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
having
 
an
obligation
 
to
 
either
 
deliver
 
cash
 
or
 
another
 
financial
 
asset,
 
or
 
a
 
variable
 
number
 
of
 
equity
 
shares,
 
to
 
the
 
holder
 
of
 
the
 
instrument.
 
If
 
this
 
is
 
not
 
the
case,
 
the
 
instrument
 
is
 
generally
 
an
 
equity
 
instrument
 
and
 
the
 
proceeds
 
included
 
in
 
equity,
 
net
 
of
 
transaction
 
costs.
 
Dividends
 
and
 
other
 
returns
to
 
equity
 
holders
 
are
 
recognised
 
when
 
paid
 
or
 
declared
 
by
 
the
 
members
 
at
 
the
 
AGM
 
and
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
deduction
 
from
 
equity.
Where
 
issued
 
financial
 
instruments
 
contain
 
both
 
liability
 
and
 
equity
 
components,
 
these
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
separately.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
debt
 
is
estimated
 
first
 
and
 
the
 
balance
 
of
 
the
 
proceeds
 
is
 
included
 
within
 
equity.

New
 
and
 
amended
 
standards
 
and
 
interpretations
The
 
accounting
 
policies
 
adopted
 
are
 
consistent
 
with
 
those
 
of
 
the
 
previous
 
financial
 
year,
 
with

IFRS
 
9,
 
IAS
 
39,
 
IFRS
 
7,
 
IFRS
 
4
 
and
 
IFRS
 
16
 
were
 
amended
 
in

2020,
 
which
 
are

for
 
periods
 
beginning
 
on
 
or
 
after
 
1
 
January
2021
 
with
 
earlier
 
adoption
 
permitted.
 
The
 
Group
 
elected
 
to
 
early
 
adopt
 
the
 
amendments
 
with
 
effect
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2020.
 
The
 
amendments
have
 
been
 
endorsed
 
by
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
by
 
the
 
UK.
IFRS
 
9
 
allows
 
companies
 
when
 
they
 
first
 
apply
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
to
 
make
 
an
 
accounting
 
policy
 
choice
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
apply
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
requirements
 
of
 
IAS
 
39.
 
The
 
Group
 
made
 
the
 
election
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
apply
 
the
 
IAS
 
39
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
requirements,
 
and
 
consequently,
 
the
amendments
 
to
 
IAS
 
39
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
have
 
been
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Group.
 
The
 
objective
 
of
 
the
 
amendments
 
is
 
to
 
provide
 
certain
 
reliefs
 
to
 
companies
 
when
 
changes
 
are
 
made
 
to
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
or
 
hedging
relationships
 
resulting
 
from
 
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform.
 
The
 
reliefs
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
have
 
been
 
described
 
below.
Changes
 
in
 
the
 
basis
 
for
 
determining
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
A
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
determining
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
of
 
a
 
financial
 
instrument
 
that
 
are
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
reform
 
is
 
accounted
 
for
 
by
updating
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate,
 
without
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
an
 
immediate
 
gain
 
or
 
loss.
 
This
 
practical
 
expedient
 
is
 
only
 
applied
 
where
 
(1)
 
the
change
 
to
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
is
 
necessary
 
as
 
a
 
direct
 
consequence
 
of
 
the
 
reform
 
and
 
(2)
 
the
 
new
 
basis
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
contractual
cash
 
flows
 
is
 
economically
 
equivalent
 
to
 
the
 
previous
 
basis.
 
For
 
changes
 
made
 
in
 
addition
 
to
 
those
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
reform,
 
the
 
practical
expedient
 
is
 
applied
 
first,
 
after
 
which
 
the
 
normal
 
IFRS
 
9
 
requirements
 
for
 
modifications
 
of
 
financial
 
instruments
 
is
 
applied.
Hedge
 
accounting
The
 
IAS
 
39
 
requirements
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
have
 
been
 
amended
 
in
 
two
 
phases.
 
The
 
Phase
 
1
 
amendments,
 
which
 
were
 
adopted
by
 
the
 
Group
 
in
 
2019,
 
provide
 
relief
 
to
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
requirements
 
prior
 
to
 
changing
 
a
 
hedge
 
relationship
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
benchmark
 
reform
 
(refer
 
to
 
Note
 
14).
 
The
 
Phase
 
2
 
amendments
 
provide
 
relief
 
when
 
changes
 
are
 
made
 
to
 
hedge
 
relationships
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform.
 
The
 
Phase
 
2
 
amendments
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
are
 
described
 
below.
 
Under
 
a
 
temporary
 
exception,
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
hedge
 
designation
 
and
 
hedge
 
documentation
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform
 
would
not
 
constitute
 
the
 
discontinuation
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
relationship
 
nor
 
the
 
designation
 
of
 
a
 
new
 
hedging
 
relationship.
 
In
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
retrospective
 
hedge
 
effectiveness
 
assessment,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
elect
 
on
 
a
 
hedge-by-hedge
 
basis
 
to
 
reset
 
the
 
cumulative
 
fair
value
 
changes
 
to
 
zero
 
when
 
the
 
exception
 
to
 
the
 
retrospective
 
assessment
 
ends
 
(Phase
 
1
 
relief).
 
Any
 
hedge
 
ineffectiveness
 
will
 
continue
 
to
be
 
me
 
asured
 
and
 
recognised
 
in
 
full
 
in
 
profit
 
or
 
loss.
 
Amounts
 
accumulated
 
in
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
reserve
 
would
 
be
 
deemed
 
to
 
be
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
alternative
 
benchmark
 
rate
 
(on
 
which
 
the
 
hedge
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
are
 
determined)
 
when
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
basis
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows.
 
For
 
hedges
 
of
 
groups
 
of
 
items
 
(such
 
as
 
those
 
forming
 
part
 
of
 
a
 
macro
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedging
 
strategy),
 
the
 
amendments
 
provide
 
relief
 
for
 
items
within
 
a
 
designated
 
group
 
of
 
items
 
that
 
are
 
amended
 
for
 
changes
 
directly
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
reform.
 
In
 
respect
 
of
 
whether
 
a
 
risk
 
component
 
of
 
a
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
separately
 
identifiable,
 
the
 
amendments
 
provide
 
temporary
 
relief
 
to
 
entities
 
to
 
meet
this
 
requirement
 
when
 
an
 
alternative
 
risk
 
free
 
rate
 
(RFR)
 
financial
 
instrument
 
is
 
designated
 
as
 
a
 
risk
 
component.
 
These
 
amendments
 
allow
entities
 
upon
 
designation
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
to
 
assume
 
that
 
the
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
requirement
 
is
 
met
 
if
 
the
 
entity
 
reasonably
 
expects
 
the
 
RFR
risk
 
will
 
become
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
within
 
the
 
next
 
24
 
months.
 
This
 
relief
 
applies
 
to
 
each
 
RFR
 
on
 
a
 
rate-by-rate
 
basis
 
and
 
starts
 
when
 
the
entity
 
first
 
designates
 
the
 
RFR
 
as
 
a
 
non-contractually
 
specified
 
risk
 
component.

Future
 
accounting
 
developments
The
 
following
 
accounting
 
standards
 
have
 
been
 
issued
 
by
 
the
 
IASB
 
but
 
are
 
not
 
yet
 
effective:
IFRS
 
17
 
 
Insurance
 
contracts
In
 
May
 
2017,
 
the
 
IASB
 
issued
 
IFRS
 
17
Insurance
 
Contracts
,
 
a
 
comprehensive
 
new
 
accounting
 
standard
 
for
 
insurance
 
contracts
 
covering
recognition
 
and
 
measurement,
 
presentation
 
and
 
disclosure.
 
Once
 
effective,
 
IFRS
 
17
 
will
 
replace
 
IFRS
 
4
Insurance
 
Contracts
 
that
 
was
 
issued
 
in
2005.
IFRS
 
17
 
applies
 
to
 
all
 
types
 
of
 
insurance
 
contracts
 
(i.e.
 
life,
 
non-life,
 
direct
 
insurance
 
and
 
re-insurance),
 
regardless
 
of
 
the
 
type
 
of
 
entities
 
that
issue
 
them,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
to
 
certain
 
guarantees
 
and
 
financial
 
instruments
 
with
 
discretionary
 
participation
 
features.
 
A
 
few
 
scope
 
exceptions
 
will
apply.
 
In
 
June
 
2020,
 
the
 
IASB
 
published
 
amendments
 
to
 
IFRS
 
17.
 
The
 
amendments
 
that
 
are
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
are
 
the
 
scope
 
exclusion
 
for
 
credit
card
 
contracts
 
and
 
similar
 
contracts
 
that
 
provide
 
insurance
 
coverage,
 
the
 
optional
 
scope
 
exclusion
 
for
 
loan
 
contracts
 
that
 
transfer
 
significant
insurance
 
risk,
 
and
 
the
 
clarification
 
that
 
only
 
financial
 
guarantees
 
issued
 
are
 
in
 
scope
 
of
 
IFRS

including
 
the
 
above
 
amendments,
 
to
 
annual

Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
The
 
preparation
 
of
 
financial
 
statements
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
requires
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
estimates.
 
It
 
also
 
requires
 
management
 
to
 
exercise
judgement
 
in
 
applying
 
the
 
accounting
 
policies.
 
The
 
key
 
areas
 
involving
 
a
 
higher
 
degree
 
of
 
judgement
 
or
 
complexity
 
or
 
areas
 
where
 
assumptions
are
 
significant
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
and
 
individual
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
highlighted
 
under
 
the
 
relevant
 
note.

To
 
improve
 
transparency
 
and
 
ease
 
of
 
reference,
 
by
 
concentrating
 
related
 
information
 
in
 
one

The

requires
 
the

to
 
estimate
 
future
 
cash
 
flows,
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
based
 
on
 
its

considering
 
all

as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
expected

The

certain

with
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
being

To

these

are
 
attributed
 
to

that
 
continuously
 
carry
 
an
 
outstanding

(revolvers)

incremental
 
to
 
the

of

they
 
are
 
capitalised
 
and
 
subsequently
 
included
 
within
 
the

of
 
the

They
 
are

Costs
 
attributed
 
to

their

each

for
 
net
 
fee
 
and
 
commission
 
income
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
IFRS
 
15
 
Revenue
 
from
 
Contracts
 
with
 
Customers.
 
IFRS
 
15
 
establishes
 
a
 
five-step
 
model
 
governing
 
revenue
 
recognition.
The
 
five-step
 
model
 
requires
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
(i)
 
identify
 
the
 
contract
 
with
 
the
 
customer,
 
(ii)
 
identify
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
performance
 
obligations
 
included
 
in
the
 
contract,
 
(iii)
 
determine
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
consideration
 
in
 
the
 
contract,
 
(iv)
 
allocate
 
the
 
consideration
 
to
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
identified
 
performance
obligations
 
and
 
(v)
 
recognise
 
revenue
 
as
 
each
 
performance
 
obligation
 
is
 
satisfied.
The
 
Group
 
recognises
 
fee
 
and
 
commission
 
income
 
charged
 
for
 
services
 
provided
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
as
 
the
 
services
 
are
 
provided,
 
for
 
example,
 
on
completion
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
transaction.
 
Where
 
the
 
contractual
 
arrangements
 
also
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Group
 
recognising
 
financial
 
instruments
 
in
scope
 
of
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
such
 
financial
 
instruments
 
are
 
initially
 
recognised
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9
 
before
 
applying
 
the
 
provisions
 
of
IFRS
 
15.
 
Fee
 
and
 
commission
 
income
 
is
 
disaggregated
 
below
 
by
 
fee
 
types
 
that
 
reflect
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
services
 
offere
 
d
 
across
 
the
 
Group
 
and
 
operating
segments,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
15.
 
The

until
 
other
 
contingencies

therefore
 
the

of

Impairment
 
of

During

recognised
 
in
 
relation
 
to

(2019:

2018:

Fees
in
 
relation
 
to
 
transactional
 
business
 
can
 
be
 
added
 
to
 
outstanding
 
customer
 
balances.
 
These

may
 
be
 
subsequently
 
impaired
 
as
 
part
 
of
the
 
overall
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
balance.
Remaining
 
performance
 
obligations
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
the
 
practical
 
expedient
 
of
 
IFRS
 
15
 
and
 
does
 
not
 
disclose
 
information
 
about
 
remaining
 
performance
 
obligations
 
that
 
have
original
 
expected
 
durations
 
of
 
one
 
year
 
or
 
less
 
or
 
because
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
right
 
to
 
consideration
 
that
 
corresponds
 
directly
 
with
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
service
 
provided
 
to
 
the
 
client
 
or
 
customer.
Costs
 
incurred
 
in
 
obtaining
 
or
 
fulfilling
 
a
 
contract
The
 
Group
 
expects
 
that
 
incremental
 
costs
 
of
 
obtaining
 
a
 
contract
 
such
 
as
 
success
 
fee
 
and
 
commission
 
fees
 
paid
 
are
 
recoverable
 
and
 
therefore
capitalised
 
such
 
contract
 
costs
 
in
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
£141m
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
(2019:
 
£159m;
 
2018:
 
£125m).
Capitalised
 
contract
 
costs
 
are
 
amortised
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
services
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
asset
 
relates
 
which
 
typically
 
ranges
 
over
 
the
 
expected
life
 
of
 
the
 
relationship.
 
In
 
2020,
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
amortisation
 
was
 
£36m
 
(2019:
 
£30m;
 
2018:
 
£30m)
 
and
 
there
 
was
 
no
 
impairment
 
loss
 
recognised
in
 
connection
 
with
 
the
 
capitalised
 
contract
 
costs
 
(2019:
 
nil;
 
2018:
 
nil).

Credit

charges
Accounting
 
for
 
the

of
 
financial
 
assets
 
Impairment
 
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
recognise
 
expected
 
credit
 
losses
 
(ECLs)
 
based
 
on
 
unbiased
 
forward-looking
 
information
 
for
all
 
financial
 
assets
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost,
 
lease
 
receivables,
 
debt
 
financial
 
assets
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income,
 
loan
commitments
 
and
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contracts.
 
At
 
the
 
reporting
 
date,
 
an
 
allowance
 
(or
 
provision
 
for
 
loan
 
commitments
 
and
 
financial
 
guarantees)
 
is
 
required
 
for
 
the
 
12
 
month
 
(Stage
 
1)
 
ECLs.
 
If
the
 
credit
 
risk
 
has
 
significantly
 
increased
 
since
 
initial
 
recognition
 
(Stage
 
2),
 
or
 
if
 
the
 
financial
 
instrument
 
is
 
credit
 
impaired
 
(Stage
 
3),
 
an
allowance
 
(or
 
provision)
 
should
 
be
 
recognised
 
for
 
the
 
lifetime
 
ECLs.
 
The
 
measurement
 
of
 
ECL
 
is
 
calculated
 
using
 
three
 
main
 
components:
 
(i)
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
(PD)
 
(ii)
 
loss
 
given
 
default
 
(LGD)
 
and
 
(iii)
 
the
exposure
 
at
 
default
 
(EAD).
 
The
 
12
 
month
 
and
 
lifetime
 
ECLs
 
are
 
calculated
 
by
 
multiplying
 
the
 
respective
 
PD,
 
LGD
 
and
 
the
 
EAD.
 
The
 
12
 
month
 
and
 
lifetime
 
PDs
 
represent
the
 
PD
 
occurring
 
over
 
the
 
next
 
12
 
months
 
and
 
the
 
remaining
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
instrument
 
respectively.
 
The
 
EAD
 
represents
 
the
 
expected
 
balance
at
 
default,
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
repayment
 
of
 
principal
 
and
 
interest
 
from
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
date
 
to
 
the
 
default
 
event
 
together
 
with
 
any
expected
 
drawdowns
 
of
 
committed
 
facilities.
 
The
 
LGD
 
represents
 
expected
 
losses
 
on
 
the
 
EAD
 
given
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default,
 
taking
 
into
 
account,
among
 
other
 
attributes,
 
the
 
mitigating
 
effect
 
of
 
collateral
 
value
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
it
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
realised
 
and
 
the
 
time
 
value
 
of
 
money.
 
Determining
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
since
 
initial
 
recognition:
The
 
Group
 
assesses
 
when
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
has
 
occurred
 
based
 
on
 
quantitative
 
and
 
qualitative
 
assessments.
 
The
 
credit
 
risk
 
of
an
 
exposure
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
have
 
significantly
 
increased
 
when:
i)
 
Quantitative
 
test
The
 
annualised
 
lifetime
 
PD
 
has
 
increased
 
by
 
more
 
than
 
an
 
agreed
 
threshold
 
relative
 
to
 
the
 
equivalent
 
at
 
origination.
PD
 
deterioration
 
thresholds
 
are
 
defined
 
as
 
percentage
 
increases,
 
and
 
are
 
set
 
at
 
an
 
origination
 
score
 
band
 
and
 
segment
 
level
 
to
 
ensure
 
the
 
test
appropriately
 
captures
 
significant
 
increases
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
at
 
all
 
risk
 
levels.
 
Generally,
 
thresholds
 
are
 
inversely
 
correlated
 
to
 
the
 
origination
 
PD,
 
i.e.
as
 
the
 
origination
 
PD
 
increases,
 
the
 
threshold
 
value
 
reduces.
The
 
assessment
 
of
 
the
 
point
 
at
 
which
 
a
 
PD
 
increase
 
is
 
deemed
 
‘significant’,
 
is
 
based
 
upon
 
analysis
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio’s
 
risk
 
profile
 
against
 
a
common
 
set
 
of
 
principles
 
and
 
performance
 
metrics
 
(consistent
 
across
 
both
 
retail
 
and
 
wholesale
 
businesses),
 
incorporating
 
expert
 
credit
judgement
 
where
 
appropriate.
 
Application
 
of
 
quantitative
 
PD
 
floors
 
does
 
not
 
represent
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
the
 
low
 
credit
 
risk
 
exemption
 
as
 
exposures
 
can
separately
 
move
 
into
 
Stage
 
2
 
via
 
the
 
qualitative
 
route
 
described
 
below.
 
Wholesale
 
assets
 
apply
 
a
 
100%
 
increase
 
in
 
PD
 
and
 
0.2%
 
PD
 
floor
 
to
 
determine
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk.
Retail
 
assets
 
apply
 
bespoke
 
relative
 
increase
 
and
 
absolute
 
PD
 
thresholds
 
based
 
on
 
product
 
type
 
and
 
origination
 
PD.
 
Thresholds
 
are
 
subject
 
to
maximums
 
defined
 
by
 
Group
 
policy
 
and
 
typically
 
apply
 
minimum
 
relative
 
thresholds
 
of
 
50-100%
 
and
 
a
 
maximum
 
relative
 
threshold
 
of
 
400%.
For
 
existing/historical
 
exposures
 
where
 
origination
 
point
 
scores
 
or
 
data
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
available
 
or
 
do
 
not
 
represent
 
a
 
comparable
 
estimate
 
of
lifetime
 
PD,
 
a
 
proxy
 
origination
 
score
 
is
 
defined,
 
based
 
upon:
 
 
back-population
 
of
 
the
 
approved
 
lifetime
 
PD
 
score
 
either
 
to
 
origination
 
date
 
or,
 
where
 
this
 
is
 
not
 
feasible,
 
as
 
far
 
back
 
as
 
possible
 
(subject
 
to
 
a
data
 
start
 
point
 
no
 
later
 
than
 
1
 
January
 
2015);
 
or
 
use
 
of
 
available
 
historical
 
account
 
performance
 
data
 
and
 
other
 
customer
 
information,
 
to
 
derive
 
a
 
comparable
 
‘proxy’
 
estimation
 
of
 
origination
PD.
ii)
 
Qualitative
 
test
This
 
is
 
relevant
 
for
 
accounts
 
that
 
meet
 
the
 
portfolio’s
 
‘high
 
risk’
 
criteria
 
and
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
closer
 
credit
 
monitoring.
High
 
risk
 
customers
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
in
 
arrears
 
but
 
either
 
through
 
an
 
event
 
or
 
an
 
observed
 
behaviour
 
exhibit
 
credit
 
distress.
 
The
 
definition
 
and
assessment
 
of
 
high
 
risk
 
includes
 
as
 
wide
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
information
 
as
 
reasonably
 
available,
 
such
 
as
 
industry
 
and
 
Group-wide
 
customer
 
level
 
data,
including
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to
 
bureau
 
scores
 
and
 
high
 
consumer
 
indebtedness
 
index,
 
wherever
 
possible
 
or
 
relevant.
Whilst
 
the
 
high
 
risk
 
populations
 
applied
 
for
 
IFRS
 
9
 
impairment
 
purposes
 
are
 
aligned
 
with
 
risk
 
management
 
processes,
 
they
 
are
 
also
 
regularly
reviewed
 
and
 
validated
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
capture
 
any
 
incremental
 
segments
 
where
 
there
 
is
 
evidence
 
of
 
credit
 
deterioration.
iii)
 
Backstop
 
criteria
This
 
is
 
relevant
 
for
 
accounts
 
that
 
are
 
more
 
than
 
30
 
calendar
 
days
 
past
 
due.
 
The
 
30
 
days
 
past
 
due
 
criteria
 
is
 
a
 
backstop
 
rather
 
than
 
a
 
primary
driver
 
of
 
moving
 
exposures
 
into
 
Stage
 
2.
The
 
criteria
 
for
 
determining
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
for
 
assets
 
with
 
bullet
 
repayments
 
follows
 
the
 
same
 
principle
 
as
 
all
 
other
 
assets,
i.e.
 
quantitative,
 
qualitative
 
and
 
backstop
 
tests
 
are
 
all
 
applied.
Exposures
 
will
 
move
 
back
 
to
 
Stage
 
1
 
once
 
they
 
no
 
longer
 
meet
 
the
 
criteria
 
for
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk.
 
This
 
means
 
that,
 
at
 
a
 
minimum
all
 
payments
 
must
 
be
 
up-to-date,
 
the
 
PD
 
deterioration
 
test
 
is
 
no
 
longer
 
met,
 
the
 
account
 
is
 
no
 
longer
 
classified
 
as
 
high
 
risk,
 
and
 
the
 
customer
has
 
evidenced
 
an
 
ability
 
to
 
maintain
 
future
 
payments.
 
Exposures
 
are
 
only
 
removed
 
from
 
Stage
 
3
 
and
 
re-assigned
 
to
 
Stage
 
2
 
once
 
the
 
original
 
default
 
trigger
 
event
 
no
 
longer
 
applies.
 
Exposures
 
being
removed
 
from
 
Stage
 
3
 
must
 
no
 
longer
 
qualify
 
as
 
credit
 
impaired,
 
and:
a)
 
the
 
obligor
 
will
 
also
 
have
 
demonstrated
 
consistently
 
good
 
payment
 
behaviour
 
over
 
a
 
12-month
 
period,
 
by
 
making
 
all
 
consecutive
 
contractual
payments
 
due
 
and,
 
for
 
forborne
 
exposures,
 
the
 
relevant
 
EBA
 
defined
 
probationary
 
period
 
has
 
also
 
been
 
successfully
 
completed
 
or;
b)
 
(for
 
non-forborne
 
exposures)
 
the
 
performance
 
conditions
 
are
 
defined
 
and
 
approved
 
within
 
an
 
appropriately
 
sanctioned

Forward-looking
 
information
The
 
measurement
 
of
 
ECL
 
involves
 
complexity
 
and
 
judgement,
 
including
 
estimation
 
of
 
PD,
 
LGD,
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
unbiased
 
future
 
economic
 
scenarios,
estimation
 
of
 
expected
 
lives
 
(where
 
contractual
 
life
 
is
 
not
 
appropriate),
 
and
 
estimation
 
of
 
EAD
 
and
 
assessing
 
significant
 
increases
 
in
 
credit
 
risk.
Credit
 
losses
 
are
 
the
 
expected
 
cash
 
shortfalls
 
from
 
what
 
is
 
contractually
 
due
 
over
 
the
 
expected
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
instrument,
 
discounted
 
at
 
the
original
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate
 
(EIR).
 
ECLs
 
are
 
the
 
unbiased
 
probability-weighted
 
credit
 
losses
 
determined
 
by
 
evaluating
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
possible
outcomes
 
and
 
considering
 
future
 
economic
 
conditions.
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
a
 
five-scenario
 
model
 
to
 
calculate
 
ECL.
 
An
 
external
 
consensus
 
forecast
 
is
 
assembled
 
from
 
key
 
sources,
 
including
 
HM
 
Treasury
(short
 
and
 
medium
 
term
 
forecasts),
 
Bloomberg
 
(based
 
on
 
median
 
of
 
economic
 
forecasts)
 
and
 
the
 
Urban
 
Land
 
Institute
 
(for
 
US
 
House
 
Prices),
which
 
forms
 
the
 
baseline
 
scenario.
 
In
 
addition,
 
two
 
adverse
 
scenarios
 
(Downside
 
1
 
and
 
Downside
 
2)
 
and
 
two
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
(Upside
 
1
and
 
Upside
 
2)
 
are
 
derived,
 
with
 
associated
 
probability
 
weightings.
 
The
 
adverse
 
scenarios
 
are
 
calibrated
 
to
 
a
 
similar
 
severity
 
to
 
internal
 
stress
tests,
 
whilst
 
also
 
considering
 
IFRS
 
9
 
specific
 
sensitivities
 
and
 
non-linearity.
 
Downside
 
2
 
is
 
benchmarked
 
to
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England’s
 
annual
 
cyclical
scenarios
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
most
 
severe
 
scenario
 
from
 
Moody’s
 
inventory,
 
but
 
is
 
not
 
designed
 
to
 
be
 
the
 
same.
 
The
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
are
 
calibrated
to
 
be
 
symmetric
 
to
 
the
 
adverse
 
scenarios,
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
ceiling
 
calibrated
 
to
 
relevant
 
recent
 
favourable
 
benchmark
 
scenarios.
 
The
 
scenarios
include
 
eight
 
economic
 
variables
 
(GDP,
 
unemployment,
 
House
 
Price
 
Index
 
(HPI)
 
and
 
base
 
rates
 
in
 
both
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
US
 
markets)
 
and
 
expanded
variables
 
using
 
statistical
 
models
 
based
 
on
 
historical
 
correlations.
 
The
 
upside
 
and
 
downside
 
shocks
 
are
 
designed
 
to
 
evolve
 
over
 
a
 
five-year
stress
 
horizon,
 
with
 
all
 
five
 
scenarios
 
converging
 
to
 
a
 
steady
 
state
 
after
 
approximately
 
eight
 
years.
The
 
methodology
 
for
 
estimating
 
probability
 
weights
 
for
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
scenarios
 
involves
 
a
 
comparison
 
of
 
the
 
distribution
 
of
 
key
 
historical
 
UK
 
and
US
 
macroeconomic
 
variables
 
against
 
the
 
forecast
 
paths
 
of
 
the
 
five
 
scenarios.
 
The
 
methodology
 
works
 
such
 
that
 
the
 
baseline
 
(reflecting
 
current
consensus
 
outlook)
 
has
 
the
 
highest
 
weight
 
and
 
the
 
weights
 
of
 
adverse
 
and
 
favourable
 
scenarios
 
depend
 
on
 
the
 
deviation
 
from
 
the
 
baseline;
 
the
further
 
from
 
the
 
baseline,
 
the
 
smaller
 
the
 
weight.
 
A
 
single
 
set
 
of
 
five
 
scenarios
 
is
 
used
 
across
 
all
 
portfolios
 
and
 
all
 
five
 
weights
 
are
 
normalised
 
to

The

The
 
definition
 
of

for
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
determining
 
ECLs,
 
and
 
for
 
internal

purposes,
 
has

definition
 
of

to
 
maintain
 
a

approach
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9
 
and
 
associated
 
regulatory
 
guidance.
 
The
Regulatory
 
Capital
 
CRR
 
Article
 
178
 
definition
 
of
 
default
 
considers
 
indicators
 
that
 
the
 
debtor
 
is
 
unlikely
 
to
 
pay,
 
includes
 
exposures
 
in
 
forbearance
and
 
is
 
no
 
later
 
than
 
when
 
the
 
exposure
 
is
 
more
 
than
 
90
 
days
 
past
 
due
 
or
 
180
 
days
 
past
 
due
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
UK
 
mortgages.
 
When
 
exposures
 
are
identified
 
as
 
credit
 
impaired
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
when
 
they
 
are
 
purchased
 
or
 
originated
 
interest
 
income
 
is
 
calculated
 
on
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
net
 
of
 
the
impairment
 
allowance.
An
 
asset
 
is
 
considered
 
credit
 
impaired
 
when
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
events
 
occur
 
that
 
have
 
a
 
detrimental
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
estimated
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
of
 
the
financial
 
asset.
 
This
 
comprises
 
assets
 
defined
 
as
 
defaulted
 
and
 
other
 
individually
 
assessed
 
exposures
 
where
 
imminent
 
default
 
or
 
actual
 
loss
 
is
identified.
Uncollectable
 
loans
 
are
 
written
 
off
 
against
 
the
 
related
 
allowance
 
for
 
loan
 
impairment
 
on
 
completion
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
internal
 
processes
 
and
 
when
all
 
reasonably
 
expected
 
recoverable
 
amounts
 
have
 
been
 
collected.
 
Subsequent
 
recoveries
 
of
 
amounts
 
previously
 
written
 
off
 
are
 
credited
 
to
 
the
income
 
statement.
 
The
 
timing
 
and
 
extent
 
of
 
write-offs
 
may
 
involve
 
some
 
element
 
of
 
subjective
 
judgement.
 
Nevertheless,
 
a
 
write-off
 
will
 
often
 
be
prompted
 
by
 
a
 
specific
 
event,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
inception
 
of
 
insolvency
 
proceedings
 
or
 
other
 
formal
 
recovery
 
action,
 
which
 
makes
 
it
 
possible
 
to
establish
 
that
 
some
 
or
 
the
 
entire
 
advance
 
is
 
beyond
 
realistic
 
prospect
 
of
 
recovery.
Accounting
 
for
 
purchased
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contracts
The
 
Group
 
may
 
enter
 
into
 
a
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contract
 
which
 
requires
 
the
 
issuer
 
of
 
such
 
contract
 
to
 
reimburse
 
the
 
Group
 
for
 
a
 
loss
 
it
 
incurs
because
 
a
 
specified
 
debtor
 
fails
 
to
 
make
 
payment
 
when
 
due
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
a
 
debt
 
instrument.
 
For
 
these
 
separate
 
financial
guarantee
 
contracts,
 
the
 
Group
 
recognises
 
a
 
reimbursement
 
asset
 
aligned
 
with
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
ECLs,
 
if
 
it
 
is
 
considered
virtually
 
certain
 
that
 
a
 
reimbursement
 
would
 
be
 
received
 
if
 
the
 
specified
 
debtor
 
fails
 
to
 
make
 
payment
 
when
 
due
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
terms
 
of
the
 
debt
 
instrument.
Loan
 
modifications
 
and
 
renegotiations
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
credit-impaired
When
 
modification
 
of
 
a
 
loan
 
agreement
 
occurs
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
commercial
 
restructuring
 
activity
 
rather
 
than
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
credit
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
borrower,
an
 
assessment
 
must
 
be
 
performed
 
to
 
determine
 
whether
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
new
 
agreement
 
are
 
substantially
 
different
 
from
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
existing
 
agreement.
 
This
 
assessment
 
considers
 
both
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
cash
 
flows
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
modified
 
terms
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
overall
instrument
 
risk
 
profile.
 
In
 
respect
 
of
 
payment
 
holidays
 
granted
 
to
 
borrowers
 
which
 
are
 
not
 
due
 
to
 
forbearance,
 
if
 
the
 
revised
 
cash
 
flows
 
on
 
a
present
 
value
 
basis
 
(based
 
on
 
the
 
original
 
EIR)
 
are
 
not
 
substantially
 
different
 
from
 
the
 
original
 
cash
 
flows,
 
the
 
loan
 
is
 
not
 
considered
 
to
 
be
substantially
 
modified.
 
Where
 
terms
 
are
 
substantially
 
different,
 
the
 
existing
 
loan
 
will
 
be
 
derecognised
 
and
 
a
 
new
 
loan
 
will
 
be
 
recognised
 
at
 
fair
 
value,
 
with
 
any
difference
 
in
 
valuation
 
recognised
 
immediately
 
within
 
the

statement,
 
subject
 
to
 
observability
 
criteria.
Where
 
terms
 
are
 
not
 
substantially
 
different,
 
the
 
loan
 
carrying

will
 
be
 
adjusted
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of

discounted
 
at
 
the

with

to
 
determine
 
the
 
PD,

and

For
 
Stage
 
2

3,
 
the
 
Group
applies
 
lifetime
 
PDs
 
but
 
uses
 
12

PDs
 
for
 
Stage
 
1.
 
The

are
 
modelled
 
at
 
an
 
account
 
level
 
which
considers
 
vintage,
 
among
 
other
 
credit
 
factors.
 
Also,
 
the
 
assessment
 
of
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
initial
 
lifetime
 
PD
 
curve,
which
 
accounts
 
for
 
the
 
different
 
credit
 
risk
 
underwritten
 
over
 
time.
Forbearance
A
 
financial
 
asset
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
forbearance
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
modified
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
credit
 
distress
 
of
 
the
 
borrower.
 
A
 
modification
 
made
 
to
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
an
asset
 
due
 
to
 
forbearance
 
will
 
typically
 
be
 
assessed
 
as
 
a
 
non-substantial
 
modification
 
that
 
does
 
not
 
result
 
in
 
derecognition
 
of
 
the
 
original
 
loan,
except
 
in
 
circumstances
 
where
 
debt
 
is
 
exchanged
 
for
 
equity.
 
Both
 
performing
 
and
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
assets
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
Stage
 
3
 
except
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
established
 
that
 
the
 
concession
 
granted
has
 
not
 
resulted
 
in
 
diminished
 
financial
 
obligation
 
and
 
that
 
no
 
other
 
regulatory
 
definition
 
of
 
default
 
criteria
 
have
 
been
 
triggered,
 
in
 
which
 
case
 
the
asset
 
is
 
classified
 
as
 
Stage
 
2.
 
The
 
minimum
 
probationary
 
period
 
for
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
is
 
12
 
months
 
and
 
for
 
performing
 
forbearance,
24
 
months.
 
Hence,
 
a
 
minimum
 
of
 
36
 
months
 
is
 
required
 
for
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
to
 
move
 
out
 
of
 
a
 
forborne
 
state.
No
 
financial
 
instrument
 
in
 
forbearance
 
can
 
transfer
 
back
 
to
 
Stage
 
1
 
until
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
Stage
 
2
 
thresholds
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
met
 
and
 
can
 
only
 
move
 
out
of
 
Stage
 
3
 
when
 
no
 
longer
 
credit
 
impaired.
Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
IFRS
 
9
 
impairment
 
involves
 
several
 
important
 
areas
 
of
 
judgement,
 
including
 
estimating
 
forward
 
looking
 
modelled
 
parameters
 
(PD,
 
LGD
 
and
EAD),
 
developing
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
unbiased
 
future
 
economic
 
scenarios,
 
estimating
 
expected
 
lives
 
and
 
assessing
 
significant
 
increases
 
in
 
credit
 
risk,
based
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
experience
 
of
 
managing
 
credit
 
risk.
 
The
 
determination
 
of
 
expected
 
life
 
is
 
most
 
material
 
for
 
Barclays
 
credit
 
card
 
portfolios
which
 
is
 
obtained
 
via
 
behavioural
 
life
 
analysis
 
to
 
materially
 
capture
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
these
 
facilities.
 
Within
 
the
 
retail
 
and
 
small
 
businesses
 
portfolios,
 
which
 
comprise
 
large
 
numbers
 
of
 
small
 
homogenous
 
assets
 
with
 
similar
 
risk
 
characteristics
where
 
credit
 
scoring
 
techniques
 
are
 
generally
 
used,
 
the
 
impairment
 
allowance
 
is
 
calculated
 
using
 
forward
 
looking
 
modelled
 
parameters
 
which
are
 
typically
 
run
 
at
 
account
 
level.
 
There
 
are
 
many
 
models
 
in
 
use,
 
each
 
tailored
 
to
 
a
 
product,
 
line
 
of
 
business
 
or
 
customer
 
category.
 
Judgement
and
 
knowledge
 
is
 
needed
 
in
 
selecting
 
the
 
statistical
 
methods
 
to
 
use
 
when
 
the
 
models
 
are
 
developed
 
or
 
revised.
 
The
 
impairment
 
allowance
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
for
 
these
 
portfolios
 
is
 
therefore
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
reasonable
 
and
 
supportable.
 
The
 
impairment
 
charge
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
for
 
retail
 
portfolios
 
is
 
£3,116
 
m
 
(2019:
 
£1,696m;
 
2018:
 
£1,598m)
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
impairment
 
charge
 
on
 
loans
 
and
advances
 
and
 
off
 
balance
 
sheet
 
loan
 
commitments
 
and
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contracts.
For
 
individually
 
significant
 
assets
 
in
 
Stage
 
3,
 
impairment
 
allowances
 
are
 
calculated
 
on
 
an
 
individual
 
basis
 
and
 
all
 
relevant
 
considerations
 
that
have
 
a
 
bearing
 
on
 
the
 
expected
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
across
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
economic
 
scenarios
 
are
 
taken
 
into
 
account.
 
These
 
considerations
 
can
 
be
particularly
 
subjective
 
and
 
can
 
include
 
the
 
business
 
prospects
 
for
 
the
 
customer,
 
the
 
realisable
 
value
 
of
 
collateral,
 
the
 
Group’s
 
position
 
relative
 
to
other
 
claimants,
 
the
 
reliability
 
of
 
customer
 
information
 
and
 
the
 
likely
 
cost
 
and
 
duration
 
of
 
the
 
work-out
 
process.
 
The
 
level
 
of
 
the
 
impairment
allowance
 
is
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
discounted
 
expected
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
(discounted
 
at
 
the
 
loan’s
 
original
 
effective
 
interest
rate),
 
and
 
its
 
carrying
 
amount.
 
Furthermore,
 
judgements
 
change
 
with
 
time
 
as
 
new
 
information
 
becomes
 
available
 
or
 
as
 
work-out
 
strategies
evolve,
 
resulting
 
in
 
frequent
 
revisions
 
to
 
the
 
impairment
 
allowance
 
as
 
individual
 
decisions
 
are
 
taken.
 
Changes
 
in
 
these
 
estimates
 
would
 
result
 
in
a
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
allowances
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
direct
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
impairment
 
charge.
 
The
 
impairment
 
charge
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
in
relation
 
to
 
wholesale
 
portfolios
 
is
 
a
 
charge
 
of
 
£1,569m

Tax
Accounting
 
for
 
income
 
taxes
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
IAS
 
12
Income
 
Taxes
in
 
accounting
 
for
 
taxes
 
on
 
income.
 
Income
 
tax
 
payable
 
on
 
taxable
 
profits
 
(current
 
tax)
 
is
 
recognised
 
as
an
 
expense
 
in
 
the
 
periods
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
profits
 
arise.
 
Withholding
 
taxes
 
are
 
also
 
treated
 
as
 
income
 
taxes.
 
Income
 
tax
 
recoverable
 
on
 
tax
allowable
 
losses
 
is
 
recognised
 
as
 
a
 
current
 
tax
 
asset
 
only
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
regarded
 
as
 
recoverable
 
by
 
offsetting
 
against
 
taxable
 
profits
arising
 
in
 
the
 
current
 
or
 
prior
 
periods.
 
Current
 
tax
 
is
 
measured
 
using
 
tax
 
rates
 
and
 
tax
 
laws
 
that
 
have
 
been
 
enacted
 
or
 
substantively
 
enacted
 
at
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
date.
 
Deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
are
 
recognised
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
it
 
is
 
probable
 
that
 
taxable
 
profit
 
will
 
be
 
available
 
against
 
which
 
the
 
deductible
 
temporary
differences,
 
and
 
the
 
carry
 
forward
 
of
 
unused
 
tax
 
credits
 
and
 
unused
 
tax
 
losses
 
can
 
be
 
utilised,
 
except
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances
 
where
 
the
deferred
 
tax
 
asset
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
deductible
 
temporary
 
difference
 
arises
 
from
 
the
 
initial
 
recognition
 
of
 
an
 
asset
 
or
 
liability
 
in
 
a
 
transaction
 
that
 
is
not
 
a
 
business
 
combination
 
and,
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
of
 
the
 
transaction,
 
affects
 
neither
 
the
 
accounting
 
profit
 
nor
 
taxable
 
profit
 
or
 
loss.
 
Deferred
 
tax
 
is
determined
 
using
 
tax
 
rates
 
and
 
legislation
 
enacted
 
or
 
substantively
 
enacted
 
by
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
date
 
which
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
apply
 
when
 
the
deferred
 
tax
 
asset
 
is
 
realised
 
or
 
the
 
deferred
 
tax
 
liability
 
is
 
settled.
 
Deferred
 
tax
 
ass
 
ets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
are
 
only
 
offset
 
when
 
there
 
is
 
both
 
a
 
legal
right
 
to
 
set-off
 
and
 
an
 
intention
 
to
 
settle
 
on
 
a
 
net
 
basis.
 
The
 
Group
 
considers
 
an
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
position
 
to
 
exist
 
when
 
it
 
considers
 
that
 
ultimately,
 
in
 
the
 
future,
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
profit
 
subject
 
to
 
tax
 
may
 
be
greater
 
than
 
the
 
amount
 
initially
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
Group’s
 
tax
 
returns.
 
The
 
Group
 
accounts
 
for
 
provisions
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
in
two
 
different
 
ways.
 
A
 
current
 
tax
 
provision
 
is
 
recognised
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
considered
 
probable
 
that
 
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
a
 
review
 
by
 
a
 
tax
 
authority
 
of
 
an
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
position
will
 
alter
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
cash
 
tax
 
due
 
to,
 
or
 
from,
 
a
 
tax
 
authority
 
in
 
the
 
future.
 
From
 
recognition,
 
the
 
current
 
tax
 
provision
 
is
 
then
 
measured
 
at
 
the
amount
 
the
 
Group
 
ultimately
 
expects
 
to
 
pay
 
the
 
tax
 
authority
 
to
 
resolve
 
the
 
position.
 
Effective
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2019,
 
the
 
Group
 
changed
 
its
accounting
 
policy
 
on
 
the
 
accrual
 
of
 
interest
 
and
 
penalty
 
amounts
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
uncertain
 
income
 
tax
 
positions
 
and
 
now
 
recognises
 
such
 
amounts
as
 
an
 
expense
 
within
 
profit
 
before
 
tax
 
and
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
do
 
so
 
in
 
future
 
periods.
 
The
 
prior
 
periods’
 
tax
 
charges
 
have
 
not
 
been
 
restated
because
 
the
 
accrual
 
for
 
interest
 
and
 
penalties
 
in
 
those
 
periods
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
was
 
not
 
material.
 
 
Deferred
 
tax
 
provisions
 
are
 
adjustments
 
made
 
to
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions.
 
A
 
deferred
 
tax
provision
 
is
 
recognised
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
considered
 
probable
 
that
 
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
a
 
review
 
by
 
a
 
tax
 
authority
 
of
 
an
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
position
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
a
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
deferred
 
tax
 
asset.
 
From
 
recognition
 
of
 
a
 
provision,
 
measurement
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
deferred
 
tax
 
asset
 
is
adjusted
 
to
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
expected
 
impact
 
of
 
resolving
 
the
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
position
 
on
 
the
 
loss
 
or
 
temporary
 
difference
 
giving
 
rise
 
to
 
the
deferred
 
tax
 
asset.
 
The
 
approach
 
taken
 
to
 
measurement
 
takes
 
account
 
of
 
whether
 
the
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
position
 
is
 
a
 
discrete
 
position
 
that
 
will
 
be
 
reviewed
 
by
 
the
 
tax
authority
 
in
 
isolation
 
from
 
any
 
other
 
position,
 
or
 
one
 
of
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
issues
 
which
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
reviewed
 
together
 
concurrently
 
and
resolved
 
simultaneously
 
with
 
a
 
tax
 
authority.
 
The
 
Group’s
 
measurement
 
of
 
provisions
 
is
 
based
 
upon
 
its
 
best
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
additional
 
profit
 
that
will
 
become
 
subject
 
to
 
tax.
 
For
 
a
 
discrete
 
position,
 
consideration
 
is
 
given
 
only
 
to
 
the
 
me
 
rits
 
of
 
that
 
position.
 
Where
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
issues
 
are
expected
 
to
 
be
 
reviewed
 
and
 
resolved
 
together,
 
the
 
Group
 
will
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
not
 
only
 
the
 
merits
 
of
 
its
 
position
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
each
 
particular
issue
 
but
 
also
 
the
 
overall
 
level
 
of
 
provision
 
relative
 
to
 
the
 
aggregate
 
of
 
the
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
across
 
all
 
the
 
issues
 
that
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
resolved
 
at
 
the
 
same
 
time.
 
In
 
addition,
 
in
 
assessing
 
provision
 
levels,
 
it
 
is
 
assumed
 
that
 
tax
 
authorities
 
will
 
review
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
and
 
that
all
 
facts
 
will
 
be
 
fully
 
and
 
transparently
 
disclosed.
 
Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
There
 
are
 
two
 
key
 
areas
 
of
 
judgement
 
that
 
impact
 
the
 
reported
 
tax
 
position.
 
Firstly,
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
provisioning
 
for
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions;
 
and
secondly,
 
the
 
recognition
 
and
 
measurement
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets.
 
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
consider
 
there
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
significant
 
risk
 
of
 
a
 
material
 
adjustment
 
to
 
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
current
 
and
 
deferred
 
tax
 
balances,
including
 
provisions
 
for
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
in
 
the
 
next
 
financial
 
year.
 
The
 
provisions
 
for
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
cover
 
a
 
diverse
 
range
 
of
issues
 
and
 
reflect
 
advice
 
from
 
external
 
counsel
 
where
 
relevant.
 
It
 
should
 
be
 
noted
 
that
 
only
 
a
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
uncertain
 
tax
 
positions
 
will
be
 
under
 
audit
 
at
 
any
 
point
 
in
 
time,
 
and
 
could
 
therefore
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
challenge
 
by
 
a
 
tax
 
authority
 
over
 
the
 
next
 
year.
 
Deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
have
 
been
 
recognised
 
based
 
on
 
business
 
profit
 
forecasts.
 
Details
 
on
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
are
 
provided
 
in

Factors
 
driving
 
the
 
effective
 
tax
 
rate
The
 
effective
 
tax
 
rate
 
of
 
19.7%
 
is
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
rate
 
of
 
19%
 
primarily
 
due
 
to
 
profits
 
earned
 
outside
 
the
 
UK
 
being
 
taxed
 
at
local
 
statutory
 
tax
 
rates
 
that
 
are
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
UK
 
tax
 
rate,
 
adjustments
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
prior
 
years,
 
non-creditable
 
taxes
 
and
 
non-deductible
expenses
 
including
 
UK
 
bank
 
levy.
 
These
 
factors,
 
which
 
have
 
each
 
increased
 
the
 
effective
 
tax
 
rate,
 
are
 
largely
 
offset
 
by
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
non-
taxable
 
gains
 
and
 
income,
 
tax
 
relief
 
on
 
payments
 
made
 
under
 
AT1
 
instruments,
 
the
 
use
 
of
 
unrecognised
 
tax
 
losses
 
in
 
the
 
period
 
and
adjustments
 
for
 
the
 
remeasurement
 
of
 
UK
 
deferred
 
tax
 
assets
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
rate
 
being
 
maintained
 
at
 
19%.
The
 
Group’s
 
future
 
tax
 
charge
 
will
 
be
 
sensitive
 
to
 
the
 
geographic
 
mix
 
of
 
profits
 
earned,
 
the
 
tax
 
rates
 
in
 
force
 
and
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
tax
 
rules
 
in
 
the
jurisdictions
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
operates
 
in.

positions.
 
All
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
are
 
held
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
or
 
loss,
 
except
 
for
 
derivatives
 
that
 
are
 
in
 
a
 
designated
 
cash
 
flow
 
or
 
net
 
investment
hedge
 
accounting
 
relationship.
 
Derivatives
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
assets
 
when
 
their
 
fair
 
value
 
is
 
positive
 
or
 
as
 
liabilities
 
when
 
their
 
fair
 
value
 
is
negative.
 
This
 
includes
 
terms
 
included
 
in
 
a
 
contract
 
or
 
financial
 
liability
 
(the
 
host),
 
which,
 
had
 
it
 
been
 
a
 
standalone
 
contract,
 
would
 
have
 
met
 
the
definition
 
of
 
a
 
derivative.
 
If
 
these
 
are
 
separated
 
from
 
the
 
host,
 
i.e.
 
when
 
the
 
economic
 
characteristics
 
of
 
the
 
embedded
 
derivative
 
are
 
not
 
closely
related
 
with
 
those
 
of
 
the
 
host
 
contract
 
and
 
the
 
combined
 
instrument
 
is
 
not
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
or
 
loss,
 
then
 
they
 
are
 
accounted
for
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
way
 
as
 
derivatives.
 
For
 
financial
 
assets,
 
the
 
requirements
 
are
 
whether
 
the
 
financial
 
assets
 
contain
 
contractual
 
terms
 
that
 
give
rise
 
on
 
specified
 
dates
 
to
 
cash
 
flows
 
that
 
are
 
SPPI,
 
and
 
consequently
 
the
 
requirements
 
for
 
accounting
 
for
 
embedded
 
derivatives
 
are
 
not
applicable
 
to
 
financial
 
assets.
 
Hedge
 
accounting
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
IAS
 
39
Financial
 
Instruments:
 
Recognition
 
and
 
Measurement
 
for
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
purposes.
 
The
 
Group
applies
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
to
 
represent
 
the
 
economic
 
effects
 
of
 
its
 
interest
 
rate,
 
currency
 
and
 
contractually
 
linked
 
inflation
 
risk
 
management
strategies.
 
Where
 
derivatives
 
are
 
held
 
for
 
risk
 
management
 
purposes,
 
and
 
when
 
transactions
 
meet
 
the
 
required
 
criteria
 
for
 
documentation
 
and
hedge
 
effectiveness,
 
the
 
Group
 
applies
 
fair
 
value
 
hedge
 
accounting,
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
accounting,
 
or
 
hedging
 
of
 
a
 
net
 
investment
 
in
 
a
 
foreign
operation,
 
as
 
appropriate
 
to
 
the
 
risks
 
being
 
hedged.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
applied
 
the
 
‘Amendments
 
to
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
IAS
 
39
 
and
 
IFRS
 
7
 
Interest
 
Rate
 
Benchmark
 
Reform’
 
issued
 
in
 
September
 
2019.
 
In
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
transition
 
provisions,
 
the
 
amendments
 
have
 
been
 
adopted
 
retrospectively
 
to
 
hedging
 
relationships
 
that
 
existed
 
at
 
the
 
start
of
 
the
 
reporting
 
period
 
or
 
were
 
designated
 
thereafter,
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
amount
 
accumulated
 
in
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
reserve
 
at
 
that
 
date.
The
 
amendments
 
provide
 
temporary
 
relief
 
from
 
applying
 
specific
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
requirements
 
to
 
hedging
 
relationships
 
directly
 
affected
 
by
IBOR
 
(‘Interbank
 
Offered
 
Rates’)
 
reform.
 
The
 
reliefs
 
have
 
the
 
effect
 
that
 
IBOR
 
reform
 
should
 
not
 
generally
 
cause
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
to
 
terminate.
However,
 
any
 
hedge
 
ineffectiveness
 
continues
 
to
 
be
 
recorded
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
Furthermore,
 
the
 
amendments
 
set
 
out
 
triggers
 
for
 
when
the
 
reliefs
 
will
 
end,
 
which
 
include
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
arising
 
from
 
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform
 
no
 
longer
 
being
 
present.
In
 
summary,
 
the
 
reliefs
 
provided
 
by
 
the
 
amendments
 
that
 
apply
 
to
 
the
 
Group
 
are:
 
When
 
considering
 
the
 
‘highly
 
probable’
 
requirement,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
assumed
 
that
 
the
 
IBOR
 
interest
 
rates
 
upon
 
which
 
our
 
hedged
 
items
 
are
based
 
do
 
not
 
change
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
IBOR
 
Reform.
 
In
 
assessing
 
whether
 
the
 
hedge
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
highly
 
effective
 
on
 
a
 
forward-looking
 
basis
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
assumed
 
that
 
the
 
IBOR
 
interest
rates
 
upon
 
which
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
items
 
and
 
the
 
interest
 
rate
 
swaps
 
that
 
hedge
 
them
 
are
 
based
 
are
 
not
 
altered
 
by
 
IBOR
 
reform.
 
The
 
Group
 
will
 
not
 
discontinue
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
during
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
IBOR-related
 
uncertainty
 
solely
 
because
 
the
 
retrospective
 
effectiveness
falls
 
outside
 
the
 
required
 
80–125%
 
range.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
not
 
recycled
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
reserve
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
period
 
after
 
the
 
reforms
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
take
 
effect.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
assessed
 
whether
 
the
 
hedged
 
IBOR
 
risk
 
component
 
is
 
a
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
risk
 
only
 
when
 
it
 
first
 
designates
 
a
 
hedged
 
item
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
hedge
 
and
 
not
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
The
 
Group
 
has
 
elected
 
to
 
early
 
adopt
 
the
 
‘Amendments
 
to
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
IAS
 
39,
 
IFRS
 
7,
 
IFRS
 
4
 
and
 
IFRS
 
16
 
Interest
 
Rate
 
Benchmark
 
Reform
 
Phase
 
2’
 
issued
 
in
 
August
 
2020.
 
The
 
Phase
 
2
 
amendments
 
provide
 
relief
 
when
 
changes
 
are
 
made
 
to
 
hedge
 
relationships
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform.
 
The
 
Phase
 
2
 
amendments
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
are:
 
 
Under
 
a
 
temporary
 
exception,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
considered
 
that
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
hedge
 
designation
 
and
 
hedge
 
documentation
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
interest
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform
 
would
 
not
 
constitute
 
the
 
discontinuation
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
relationship
 
nor
 
the
 
designation
 
of
 
a
 
new
 
hedging
 
relationship.
 
In
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
retrospective
 
hedge
 
effectiveness
 
assessment,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
elect,
 
on
 
a
 
hedge-by-hedge
 
basis,
 
to
 
reset
 
the
 
cumulative
 
fair
value
 
changes
 
to
 
zero
 
when
 
the
 
exception
 
to
 
the
 
retrospective
 
assessment
 
ends
 
(Phase
 
1
 
relief).
 
Any
 
hedge
 
ineffectiveness
 
will
 
continue
 
to
be
 
measured
 
and
 
recognised
 
in
 
full
 
in
 
profit
 
or
 
loss.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
deemed
 
the
 
amounts
 
accumulated
 
in
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
reserve
 
to
 
be
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
alternative
 
benchmark
 
rate
 
(on
 
which
the
 
hedge
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
are
 
determined)
 
when
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
basis
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows.
 
For
 
hedges
 
of
 
groups
 
of
 
items
 
(such
 
as
 
those
 
forming
 
part
 
of
 
a
 
macro
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedging
 
strategy),
 
the
 
amendments
 
provide
 
relief
 
for
 
items
within
 
a
 
designated
 
group
 
of
 
items
 
that
 
are
 
amended
 
for
 
changes
 
directly
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
reform.
 
In
 
respect
 
of
 
whether
 
a
 
risk
 
component
 
of
 
a
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
separately
 
identifiable,
 
the
 
amendments
 
provide
 
temporary
 
relief
 
to
 
entities
 
to
 
meet
this
 
requirement
 
when
 
an
 
alternative
 
risk
 
free
 
rate
 
(RFR)
 
financial
 
instrument
 
is
 
designated
 
as
 
a
 
risk
 
component.
 
These
 
amendments
 
allow
 
the
Group
 
upon
 
designation
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
to
 
assume
 
that
 
the
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
requirement
 
is
 
met
 
if
 
the
 
Group
 
reasonably
 
expects
 
the
 
RFR
risk
 
will
 
become
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
within
 
the
 
next
 
24
 
months.
 
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
this
 
relief
 
to
 
each
 
RFR
 
on
 
a
 
rate-by-rate
 
basis
 
and
 
starts
when
 
the
 
Group
 
first
 
designates
 
the
 
RFR
 
as
 
a
 
non-contractually
 
specified
 
risk
 
component.
Fair
 
value
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
Changes
 
in
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
derivatives
 
that
 
qualify
 
and
 
are
 
designated
 
as
 
fair
 
value
 
hedges
 
are
 
recorded
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement,
 
together
 
with
changes
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
asset
 
or
 
liability
 
that
 
are
 
attributable
 
to
 
the
 
hedged
 
risk.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
changes
 
adjust
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
asset
 
or
 
liability
 
held
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost.
If
 
hedge
 
relationships
 
no
 
longer
 
meet
 
the
 
criteria
 
for
 
hedge
 
accounting,
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
is
 
discontinued.
 
For
 
fair
 
value
 
hedges
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
risk,
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
adjustment
 
to
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
amortised
 
to
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
over
 
the
 
period
 
to
 
maturity
 
of
 
the
 
previously
 
designated
hedge
 
relationship
 
using
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
method.
 
If
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
sold
 
or
 
repaid,
 
the
 
unamortised
 
fair
 
value
 
adjustment
 
is
 
recognised
immediately
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
For
 
items
 
classified
 
as
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income,
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
adjustment
is
 
included
 
in
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income.

For
 
qualifying
 
cash

the
 
fair

gain
 
or
 
loss
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
effective

of
 
the

then
 
recycled
 
to

statement
 
in
 
the
 
periods
 
when
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
will
 
affect
 
profit
 
or

Any
ineffective
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
on
 
the
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the

immediately.
When
 
a
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
expires
 
or
 
is
 
sold,
 
or
 
when
 
a
 
hedge
 
no
 
longer
 
meets
 
the

accounting,
 
any
 
cumulative
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
existing
 
in
 
equity
 
at
 
that
 
time
 
remains
 
in
 
equity
 
and
 
is
 
recognised
 
when
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
is
 
ultimately
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
When
a

is
 
no

expected
 
to
 
occur,
 
the
 
cumulative
 
gain
 
or

that
 
was
 
recognised
 
in

is
 
immediately
 
transferred
 
to
 
the

statement.
Hedges
 
of

The
 
Group’s
 
net

in
 
foreign
 
operations,
 
including
 
monetary
 
items
 
accounted
 
for
 
as

are
 
hedged
 
for

risks
 
using
 
both

borrowings.
 
Hedges
 
of
 
net

are
 
accounted
 
for
 
similarly
 
to
 
cash

the
 
effective

of
 
the
 
gain
 
or

on
 
the

instrument
 
is
 
being

The

Annual

20-F
Hedge
 
accounting
Hedge
 
accounting
 
is
 
applied
 
predominantly
 
for
 
the
 
following
 
risks:
 
Interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
 
arises
 
due
 
to
 
a
 
mismatch
 
between
 
fixed
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
 
floating
 
interest
 
rates.
 
Interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
also
 
includes
 
exposure
 
to
inflation
 
risk
 
for
 
certain
 
types
 
of
 
investments.
 
Currency
 
risk
 
 
arises
 
due
 
to
 
assets
 
or
 
liabilities
 
being
 
denominated
 
in
 
different
 
currencies
 
than
 
the
 
functional
 
currency
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
entity.
At
 
a
 
consolidated
 
level,
 
currency
 
risk
 
also
 
arises
 
when
 
the
 
functional
 
currency
 
of
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
different
 
from
 
the
 
parent.
 
Contractually
 
linked
 
inflation
 
risk
 
 
arises
 
from
 
financial
 
instruments
 
within
 
contractually
 
specified
 
inflation
 
risk.
 
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
hedge
inflation
 
risk
 
that
 
arises
 
from
 
other
 
activities.
In
 
order
 
to
 
hedge
 
these
 
risks,
 
the
 
Group
 
uses
 
the
 
following
 
hedging
 
instruments:
 
Interest
 
rate
 
derivatives
 
to
 
swap
 
interest
 
rate
 
exposures
 
into
 
either
 
fixed
 
or
 
variable
 
rates.
 
Currency
 
derivatives
 
to
 
swap
 
foreign
 
currency
 
exposures
 
into
 
the
 
entity’s
 
functional
 
currency,
 
and
 
net
 
investment
 
exposure
 
to
 
local
 
currency.
 
Inflation
 
derivatives
 
to
 
swap
 
inflation
 
exposure
 
into
 
either
 
fixed
 
or
 
variable
 
interest
 
rates.
In
 
some
 
cases,
 
certain
 
items
 
which
 
are
 
economically
 
hedged
 
may
 
be
 
ineligible
 
hedged
 
items
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
IAS
 
39,
 
such
 
as
 
core
 
deposits
and
 
equity.
 
In
 
these
 
instances,
 
a
 
proxy
 
hedging
 
solution
 
can
 
be
 
utilised
 
whereby
 
portfolios
 
of
 
floating
 
rate
 
assets
 
are
 
designated
 
as
 
eligible
hedged
 
items
 
in
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedges.
In
 
some
 
hedging
 
relationships,
 
the
 
Group
 
designates
 
risk
 
components
 
of
 
hedged
 
items
 
as
 
follows:
 
Benchmark
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
as
 
a
 
component
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk,
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
LIBOR
 
or
 
Risk
 
Free
 
Rate
 
(RFR)
 
component.
 
Inflation
 
risk
 
as
 
a
 
contractually
 
specified
 
component
 
of
 
a
 
debt
 
instrument.
 
Spot
 
exchange
 
rate
 
risk
 
for
 
foreign
 
currency
 
financial
 
assets
 
or
 
financial
 
liabilities.
 
Components
 
of
 
cash
 
flows
 
of
 
hedged
 
items,
 
for
 
example
 
certain
 
interest
 
payments
 
for
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
an
 
instrument.
Using
 
the
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
results
 
in
 
other
 
risks,
 
such
 
as
 
credit
 
risk
 
and
 
liquidity
 
risk,
 
being
 
excluded
 
from
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
relationship.
 
LIBOR
 
is
 
considered
 
the
 
predominant
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk
 
and
 
therefore
 
the
 
hedged
 
items
 
change
 
in
 
fair
 
value
 
on
 
a
 
fully
 
proportionate
basis
 
with
 
reference
 
to
 
this
 
risk.
In
 
respect
 
of
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
relationships,
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
and
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
change
 
frequently
 
due
 
to
 
the
dynamic
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
strategy.
 
The
 
Group
 
applies
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
to
 
dynamic
 
scenarios,
predominantly
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk,
 
with
 
a
 
combination
 
of
 
hedged
 
items
 
in
 
order
 
for
 
its
 
financial
 
statements
 
to
 
reflect
 
as
 
closely
 
as
possible
 
the
 
economic
 
risk
 
management
 
undertaken.
 
In
 
some
 
cases,
 
if
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
objective
 
changes,
 
the
 
relevant
 
hedge
 
accounting
relationship
 
is
 
de-designated
 
and
 
is
 
replaced
 
with
 
a
 
different
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
relationship.
Changes
 
in
 
the
 
GBP
 
value
 
of
 
net
 
investments
 
due
 
to
 
foreign
 
currency
 
movements
 
are
 
captured
 
in
 
the
 
currency
 
translation
 
reserve,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
movement
 
in
 
CET1
 
capital.
 
The
 
Group
 
mitigates
 
this
 
by
 
matching
 
the
 
CET1
 
capital
 
movements
 
to
 
the
 
revaluation
 
of
 
the
 
foreign
 
currency
 
RWA
exposures.
 
Net
 
investment
 
hedges
 
are
 
designated
 
where
 
necessary
 
to
 
reduce
 
the
 
exposure
 
to
 
movement
 
in
 
a
 
particular
 
exchange
 
rate
 
to
 
within
limits
 
mandated
 
by
 
Risk.
 
As
 
far
 
as
 
possible,
 
existing
 
external
 
currency
 
liabilities
 
are
 
designated
 
as
 
the
 
hedging
 
instruments.
The
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
share
 
the
 
same
 
risk
 
exposures
 
as
 
the
 
hedged
 
items.
 
Hedge
 
effectiveness
 
is
 
determined
 
with
 
reference
 
to
 
quantitative
tests,
 
predominantly
 
regression
 
testing,
 
but
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
are
 
exposed
 
to
 
different
 
risks
 
than
 
the
 
hedged
 
items,
 
this
 
could
result
 
in
 
hedge
 
ineffectiveness
 
or
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
failures.
Sources
 
of
 
ineffectiveness
 
include
 
the
 
following:
 
Mismatches
 
between
 
the
 
contractual
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
and
 
hedging
 
instrument,
 
including
 
basis
 
differences.
 
Changes
 
in
 
credit
 
risk
 
of
 
the
 
hedging
 
instruments.
 
If
 
a
 
hedging
 
relationship
 
becomes
 
over-hedged,
 
for
 
example
 
in
 
hedges
 
of
 
net
 
investments
 
if
 
the
 
net
 
asset
 
value
 
designated
 
at
 
the
 
start
 
of
 
the
period
 
falls
 
below
 
the

The
 
effects
 
of
 
the
 
forthcoming
 
reforms
 
to
 
IBOR
 
because
 
these
 
might
 
take
 
effect
 
at
 
a
 
different
 
time
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
different
 
impact
 
on
 
hedged
items
 
and
 
hedging
 
instruments.
Across
 
all
 
benchmarks
 
which
 
Barclays
 
is
 
materially
 
exposed
 
to,
 
there
 
is
 
still
 
uncertainty
 
regarding
 
the
 
precise
 
timing
 
and
 
effects
 
of
 
IBOR
 
reform.
There
 
is
 
yet
 
to
 
be
 
full
 
consensus
 
regarding
 
methodologies
 
for
 
converging
 
existing
 
IBORs
 
to
 
their
 
final
 
benchmark
 
rates.
 
As
 
such,
 
Barclays
 
has
not
 
incorporated
 
any
 
change
 
in
 
assumptions
 
for
 
affected
 
benchmarks
 
into
 
its
 
expectations
 
or
 
calculations.
 
Barclays
 
does,
 
however,
 
assume
sufficient
 
liquidity
 
in
 
IBOR
 
linked
 
benchmarks
 
to
 
provide
 
reliable
 
valuation
 
calculations
 
of
 
both
 
hedged
 
items
 
and
 
hedging
 
instruments
(notwithstanding
 
reliefs
 
already
 
applied
 
within
 
the
 
financial
 
reporting).

both
 
collecting

it

that
 
both

selling
 
financial
 
assets
 
are
 
integral
 
to
 
achieving
 
the
 
objective
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
model.
 
The

will
 
consider
 
past
 
sales
 
and
 
expectations
 
about

establish

achieved.
For

the

These

In

unless
 
the

would
 
create
 
or

in
 
P&L.
 
In
 
these
 
scenarios,
 
all
 
gains

on
 
that
 
liability
 
(including
 
the

and

Subsequent
 
changes
 
in
 
fair

for
 
these
 
instruments
 
are
 
recognised
 
in

investment
 
income,
 
except
 
if
 
reporting
 
it
 
in

reduces
 
an
 
accounting
 
mismatch.
 
All
 
financial
 
instruments
 
are
 
initially
 
recognised
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
on
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
initial
 
recognition
 
(including
 
transaction
 
costs,
 
other
 
than
 
financial
instruments
 
held
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
profit
 
or
 
loss)
 
and
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
subsequent
 
classification
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
asset
 
or
 
liability,
 
may
continue
 
to
 
be
 
held
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
either
 
through
 
profit
 
or
 
loss
 
or
 
other
 
comprehensive
 
income.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
a
 
financial
 
instrument
 
is
 
the
 
price
that
 
would
 
be
 
received
 
to
 
sell
 
an
 
asset
 
or
 
paid
 
to
 
transfer
 
a
 
liability
 
in
 
an
 
orderly
 
transaction
 
between
 
market
 
participants
 
at
 
the
 
measurement
date.
Wherever
 
possible,
 
fair
 
value
 
is
 
determined
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
a
 
quoted
 
market
 
price
 
for
 
that
 
instrument.
 
For
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
assets
and
 
liabilities,
 
especially
 
derivatives,
 
quoted
 
prices
 
are
 
not
 
available
 
and
 
valuation
 
models
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
estimate
 
fair
 
value.
 
The
 
models
 
calculate
the
 
expected
 
cash
 
flows
 
under
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
each
 
specific
 
contract
 
and
 
then
 
discount
 
these
 
values
 
back
 
to
 
a
 
present
 
value.
 
These
 
models
 
use
 
as
their
 
basis
 
independently
 
sourced
 
market
 
inputs
 
including,
 
for
 
example,
 
interest
 
rate
 
yield
 
curves,
 
equities
 
and
 
commodities
 
prices,
 
option
volatilities
 
and
 
currency
 
rates.
For
 
financial
 
liabilities
 
measured
 
at
 
fair
 
value,
 
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
reflects
 
the
 
effect
 
on
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
changes
 
in
 
own
 
credit
 
spreads
 
derived
 
from
observable
 
market
 
data
 
such
 
as
 
in
 
primary
 
issuance
 
and
 
redemption
 
activity
 
for
 
structured
 
notes.
 
On
 
initial
 
recognition,
 
it
 
is
 
presumed
 
that
 
the
 
transaction
 
price
 
is
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
unless
 
there
 
is
 
observable
 
information
 
available
 
in
 
an
 
active
market
 
to
 
the
 
contrary.
 
The
 
best
 
evidence
 
of
 
an
 
instrument’s
 
fair
 
value
 
on
 
initial
 
recognition
 
is
 
typically
 
the
 
transaction
 
price.
 
However,
 
if
 
fair
value
 
can
 
be
 
evidenced
 
by
 
comparison
 
with
 
other
 
observable
 
current
 
market
 
transactions
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
instrument,
 
or
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
valuation
technique
 
whose
 
inputs
 
include
 
only
 
data
 
from
 
observable
 
markets,
 
then
 
the
 
instrument
 
should
 
be
 
recognised
 
at
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
derived
 
from
 
such
observable
 
market
 
data.
For
 
valuations
 
that
 
have
 
made
 
use
 
of
 
unobservable
 
inputs,
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
model
 
valuation
 
and
 
the
 
initial
 
transaction
 
price
 
(Day
 
One
profit)
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
profit
 
or
 
loss
 
either:
 
on
 
a
 
straight-line
 
basis
 
over
 
the
 
term
 
of
 
the
 
transaction;
 
or
 
over
 
the
 
period
 
until
 
all
 
model
 
inputs
 
will
become
 
observable
 
where
 
appropriate;
 
or
 
released
 
in
 
full
 
when
 
previously
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
become
 
observable.
Various
 
factors
 
influence
 
the
 
availability
 
of
 
observable
 
inputs
 
and
 
these
 
may
 
vary
 
from
 
product
 
to
 
product
 
and
 
change
 
over
 
time.
 
Factors
 
include
the
 
depth
 
of
 
activity
 
in
 
the
 
relevant
 
market,
 
the
 
type
 
of
 
product,
 
whether
 
the
 
product
 
is
 
new
 
and
 
not
 
widely
 
traded
 
in
 
the
 
marketplace,
 
the
maturity
 
of
 
market
 
modelling
 
and
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
transaction
 
(bespoke
 
or
 
generic).
 
To
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
valuation
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
models
 
or
 
inputs
that
 
are
 
not
 
observable
 
in
 
the
 
market,
 
the
 
determination
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
can
 
be
 
more
 
subjective,
 
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
significance
 
of
 
the
 
unobservable
input
 
to
 
the
 
overall
 
valuation.
 
Unobservable
 
inputs
 
are
 
determined
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
best
 
information
 
available,
 
for
 
example
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
similar
assets,
 
similar
 
maturities
 
or
 
other
 
analytical
 
techniques.
The
 
sensitivity

in
 
the

Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
The
 
valuation
 
of
 
financial
 
instruments
 
often
 
involves
 
a
 
significant
 
degree
 
of
 
judgement
 
and
 
complexity,
 
in
 
particular
 
where
 
valuation
 
models
make
 
use
 
of
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
(‘Level

assets
 
and
 
liabilities).

Valuation
 
techniques
 
and
 
sensitivity
 
analysis
Sensitivity
 
analysis
 
is
 
performed
 
on
 
products
 
with
 
significant
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
(Level
 
3)
 
to
 
generate
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
reasonably
 
possible
alternative
 
valuations.
 
The
 
sensitivity
 
methodologies
 
applied
 
take
 
account
 
of
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
valuation
 
techniques
 
used,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
availability
 
and
 
reliability
 
of
 
observable
 
proxy
 
and
 
historical
 
data
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
using
 
alternative
 
models.
 
Sensitivities
 
are
 
dynamically
 
calculated
 
on
 
a
 
monthly
 
basis.
 
The
 
calculation
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
range
 
or
 
spread
 
data
 
of
 
a
 
reliable
 
reference
 
source
 
or
 
a
scenario
 
based
 
on
 
relevant
 
market
 
analysis
 
alongside
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
using
 
alternative
 
models.
 
Sensitivities
 
are
 
calculated
 
without
 
reflecting
 
the
impact
 
of
 
any
 
diversification
 
in
 
the
 
portfolio.

analysis
The
 
following
 
table
 
summarises
 
the
 
movements
 
in
 
the
 
Level
 
3
 
balances
 
during
 
the
 
period.
 
The
 
table
 
shows
 
gains
 
and
 
losses
 
and
 
includes
amounts
 
for
 
all
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
that
 
are
 
held
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
transferred
 
to
 
and
 
from
 
Level
 
3
 
during
 
the
 
period.
 
Transfers
 
have
 
been
reflected
 
as
 
if
 
they
 
had
 
taken
 
place
 
at
 
the
 
beginning
 
of
 
the
 
year.
Asset
 
and
 
liability
 
transfers
 
between
 
Level
 
2
 
and
 
Level
 
3
 
are
 
primarily
 
due
 
to
 
i)
 
an
 
increase
 
or
 
decrease
 
in
 
observable
 
market
 
activity
 
related
 
to
an
 
input
 
or
 
ii)
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
significance
 
of
 
the
 
unobservable
 
input,
 
with
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
classified
 
as
 
Level
 
3
 
if
 
an
 
unobservable
 
input
 
is
deemed
 
significant.

is
 
applicable
 
to
 
a
 
financial
 
transaction
 
that
 
will

place
 
in
 
the
 
future.
In
 
general,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
a
 
forward
 
in
 
isolation
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
a

increase
 
for
 
the
 
contracted
 
receiver
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
(currency,
 
bond,
 
commodity,
 
etc.),
 
but
 
the
 
sensitivity
 
is
 
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
specific
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
instrument.
Credit
 
spread
Credit
 
spreads
 
typically
 
represent
 
the
 
difference
 
in
 
yield
 
between
 
an
 
instrument
 
and
 
a
 
benchmark
 
security
 
or
 
reference
 
rate.
 
Credit
 
spreads
reflect
 
the
 
additional
 
yield
 
that
 
a
 
market
 
participant
 
demands
 
for
 
taking
 
on
 
exposure
 
to
 
the

and
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
the

In

will
 
result
 
in
 
a

in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
decrease
 
for

For
 
a
 
derivative
 
instrument,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase

spread
 
in

can
 
result
 
in
 
a

depending
 
on
 
the
specific
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
instrument.
Volatility
Volatility
 
is
 
a
 
measure
 
of
 
the
 
variability
 
or
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
return
 
for
 
a
 
given
 
derivative
 
underlying.
 
It
 
is
 
an
 
estimate
 
of
 
how
 
much
 
a
 
particular
underlying
 
instrument
 
input
 
or
 
index
 
will
 
change
 
in
 
value
 
over
 
time.
 
In
 
general,
 
volatilities
 
are
 
implied
 
from
 
observed
 
option
 
prices.
 
For
unobservable
 
options
 
the
 
implied
 
volatility
 
may
 
reflect
 
additional
 
assumptions
 
about
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
risk,
 
and
 
the
 
strike/maturity
profile
 
of
 
a
 
specific
 
contract.
In
 
general
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
volatility
 
in
 
isolation
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
increase
 
for
 
the
 
holder
 
of
 
a
 
simple
 
option,
 
but
 
the
 
sensitivity
 
is
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
specific
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
instrument.
 
There
 
may
 
be
 
interrelationships
 
between
 
unobservable
 
volatilities
 
and
 
other
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
(e.g.
 
when
 
equity
 
prices
 
fall,
 
implied
 
equity
volatilities
 
generally
 
rise)
 
but
 
these
 
are
 
generally
 
specific
 
to
 
individual
 
markets
 
and
 
may
 
vary
 
over
 
time.
Correlation
Correlation
 
is
 
a
 
measure
 
of
 
the
 
relationship
 
between
 
the
 
movements
 
of
 
two
 
variables.
 
Correlation
 
can
 
be
 
a
 
significant
 
input
 
into
 
valuation
 
of
derivative
 
contracts
 
with
 
more
 
than
 
one
 
underlying
 
instrument.
 
Credit
 
correlation
 
generally
 
refers
 
to
 
the
 
correlation
 
between
 
default
 
processes
for
 
the
 
separate
 
names
 
that
 
make
 
up
 
the
 
reference
 
pool
 
of
 
a
 
CDO
 
structure.
A
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
correlation
 
in
 
isolation
 
can
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
increase
 
or
 
decrease
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
specific
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
instrument.
Comparable
 
price
Comparable
 
instrument
 
prices
 
are
 
used
 
in
 
valuation
 
by
 
calculating
 
an
 
implied
 
yield
 
(or
 
spread
 
over
 
a
 
liquid
 
benchmark)
 
from
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
a
comparable
 
observable
 
instrument,
 
then
 
adjusting
 
that
 
yield
 
(or
 
spread)
 
to
 
account
 
for
 
relevant
 
differences
 
such
 
as
 
maturity
 
or
 
credit
 
quality.
Alternatively,
 
a
 
price-to-price
 
basis
 
can
 
be
 
assumed
 
between
 
the
 
comparable
 
and
 
unobservable
 
instruments
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
establish
 
a
 
value.
In
 
general,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
comparable
 
price
 
in
 
isolation
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
price
 
of
 
the
 
unobservable
 
instrument.
 
For
derivatives,
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
comparable
 
price
 
in
 
isolation
 
can
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
increase
 
or
 
decrease
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
specific
 
terms
 
of
 
the
instrument.
Loan
 
spread
Loan
 
spreads
 
typically
 
represent
 
the
 
difference
 
in
 
yield
 
between
 
an
 
instrument
 
and
 
a
 
benchmark
 
security
 
or
 
reference
 
rate.
 
Loan
 
spreads
typically
 
reflect
 
credit
 
quality,
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
comparable
 
assets
 
such
 
as
 
gilts
 
and
 
other
 
factors,
 
and
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
yield
 
used
 
in
 
a
 
discounted
 
cash
flow
 
calculation.
 
The
 
ESHLA
 
portfolio
 
primarily
 
consists
 
of
 
long-dated
 
fixed
 
rate
 
loans
 
extended
 
to
 
counterparties
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
Education,
 
Social
 
Housing
 
and
 
Local
Authority
 
sectors.
 
The
 
loans
 
are
 
categorised
 
as
 
Level
 
3
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
hierarchy
 
due
 
to
 
their
 
illiquid
 
nature
 
and
 
the
 
significance
 
of
unobservable
 
loan
 
spreads
 
to
 
the
 
valuation.
 
Valuation
 
uncertainty
 
arises
 
from
 
the
 
long-dated
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio,
 
the
 
lack
 
of
 
secondary
market
 
in
 
the
 
loans
 
and
 
the
 
lack
 
of
 
observable
 
loan
 
spreads.
 
The
 
majority
 
of
 
ESHLA
 
loans
 
are
 
to
 
borrowers
 
in
 
heavily
 
regulated
 
sectors
 
that
 
are
considered
 
extremely
 
low
 
credit
 
risk,
 
and
 
have
 
a
 
history
 
of
 
near
 
zero
 
defaults
 
since
 
inception
.
While
 
the
 
overall
 
loan
 
spread
 
range
 
is
 
from
 
31bps
to
 
1,518bps
 
(2019:
 
31bps
 
to
 
1,884bps),
 
the
 
vast
 
majority
 
of
 
spreads
 
are
 
concentrated
 
towards
 
the
 
bottom
 
end
 
of
 
this
 
range,
 
with
 
97%
 
of
 
the
loan
 
notional
 
being
 
valued
 
with
 
spreads
 
less
 
than
 
200bps
 
consistently
 
for
 
both
 
years.
In
 
general,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
loan
 
spreads
 
in
 
isolation
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
decrease
 
for
 
a
 
loan.

The
 
Group
 
uses
 
mid-market
 
pricing
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
a

maker
 
and
 
has
 
the
 
ability
 
to

mid
 
price
 
(which
 
is
 
the
 
case
for
 
certain
 
equity,
 
bond
 
and
 
vanilla
 
derivative
 
markets).
 
For
 
other
 
financial
 
assets
 
and

bid-offer
 
adjustments
 
are
 
recorded
 
to
 
reflect
the
 
exit
 
level
 
for
 
the
 
expected
 
close
 
out
 
strategy.
 
The
 
methodology
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
bid-offer
 
adjustment
 
for
 
a
 
derivative
 
portfolio
 
involves
calculating
 
the
 
net
 
risk
 
exposure
 
by
 
offsetting
 
long
 
and
 
short
 
positions
 
by
 
strike

in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
and
hedging
 
strategy.
Bid-offer
 
levels
 
are
 
generally
 
derived
 
from
 
market
 
quotes

data.
 
Less
 
liquid
 
instruments
 
may
 
not
 
have

In
 
such
 
instances,
 
an

adjustment
 
may
 
be
 
derived
 
from
 
an
 
observable

for
 
a
 
comparable
 
liquid
 
instrument,
 
or
determined

Discounting
 
approaches
 
for
 
derivative
 
instruments
 
Collateralised
In
 
line
 
with
 
market
 
practice,
 
the
 
methodology
 
for
 
discounting
 
collateralised
 
derivatives
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
nature
 
and
 
currency
 
of
 
the
collateral
 
that
 
can
 
be
 
posted
 
within
 
the
 
relevant
 
credit
 
support
 
annex
 
(CSA).
 
The
 
CSA
 
aware
 
discounting
 
approach
 
recognises
 
the
 
‘cheapest
 
to
deliver’

Uncollateralised
A
 
fair
 
value
 
adjustment
 
of
 
£115m
is
 
applied
 
to
 
account
 
for
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
incorporating
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
funding
 
into
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
uncollateralised
and
 
partially
 
collateralised
 
derivative
 
portfolios
 
and
 
collateralised
 
derivatives
 
where
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
agreement
 
do
 
not
 
allow
 
the
 
rehypothecation
of
 
collateral
 
received.
 
This
 
adjustment
 
is
 
referred
 
to
 
as
 
the
 
Funding
 
Fair
 
Valu
 
e
 
Adjustment
 
(FFVA).
 
FFVA
 
has
 
increased
 
by
 
£58m
 
to
 
£115
 
m
 
as
 
a
result
 
of
 
moves
 
in
 
input
 
funding
 
spreads
 
and
 
an
 
update
 
to
 
methodology.
FFVA
 
incorporates
 
a
 
scaling
 
factor
 
which
 
is
 
an
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
extent
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
funding
 
is
 
incorporated
 
into
 
observed
 
traded
 
levels.
On
 
calibrating
 
the
 
scaling
 
factor,
 
it
 
is
 
with
 
the
 
assumption
 
that
 
Credit
 
Valuation
 
Adjustments
 
(CVA)
 
and
 
Debit
 
Valuation
 
Adjustments
 
(DVA)
 
are
retained
 
as
 
valuation
 
components
 
incorporated
 
into
 
such
 
levels.
The
 
effect
 
of
 
incorporating
 
this
 
scaling
 
factor
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
was
 
to
reduce
 
FFVA
 
by
 
£115
 
m
 
(2019:
 
£170m).
Derivative
 
credit
 
and
 
debit
 
valuation
 
adjustments
CVA
 
and
 
DVA
 
are
 
incorporated
 
into
 
derivative
 
valuations
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
impact
 
on
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
counterparty
 
credit
 
risk
 
and
 
Barclays’
 
own

quality
 
respectively.
 
These
 
adjustments
 
are
 
calculated
 
for
 
uncollateralised
 
and
 
partially
 
collateralised
 
derivatives
 
across
 
all
 
asset
 
classes.
 
CVA
and

are
 
calculated
 
using

of

for
 
the

of
 
this

Deposits
 
at
 
amortised
 
cost
In
 
many
 
cases,
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
disclosed
 
approximates
 
carrying
 
value
 
because
 
the
 
instruments
 
are
 
short
 
term
 
in
 
nature
 
or
 
have
 
interest
 
rates
 
that
reprice
 
frequently,
 
such
 
as
 
customer
 
accounts
 
and
 
other
 
deposits
 
and
 
short-term
 
debt
 
securities.
The
 
fair
 
value
 
for
 
deposits
 
with
 
longer-term
 
maturities,
 
mainly
 
time
 
deposits,
 
are
 
estimated
 
using
 
discounted
 
cash
 
flows
 
applying
 
either
 
market
rates
 
or
 
current
 
rates
 
for
 
deposits
 
of
 
similar
 
remaining
 
maturities.
 
Consequently,
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
discount
 
is
 
minimal.
 
Repurchase
 
agreements
 
and
 
other
 
similar
 
secured
 
borrowing
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
repurchase
 
agreements
 
approximates
 
carrying
 
amounts
 
as
 
these
 
balances
 
are
 
generally
 
short
 
dated.
Debt
 
securities
 
in
 
issue
Fair
 
values
 
of
 
other

in

are
 
based
 
on
 
quoted
 
prices
 
where
 
available,

where
 
the

are
 
short

purposes.
 
While
 
the

Intangible
 
Assets
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
decided
 
to
 
apply.
 
When
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
the
 
lessee,
 
it
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
recognise
 
both:
 
A
 
lease
 
liability,
 
measured
 
at
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
remaining
 
cash
 
flows
 
on
 
the
 
lease,
 
and
 
 
A
 
right
 
of
 
use
 
(ROU)
 
asset,
 
measured
 
at
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
initial
 
measurement
 
of
 
the
 
lease
 
liability,
 
plus
 
any
 
lease
 
payments
 
made
 
prior
 
to
commencement
 
date,
 
initial
 
direct
 
costs,
 
and
 
estimated
 
costs
 
of
 
restoring
 
the
 
underlying
 
asset
 
to
 
the
 
condition
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
lease,
 
less
 
any
lease
 
incentives
 
received.
Subsequently
 
the
 
lease
 
liability
 
will
 
increase
 
for
 
the
 
accrual
 
of
 
interest,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
constant
 
rate
 
of
 
return
 
throughout
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
lease,
 
and
reduce
 
when
 
payments
 
are
 
made.
 
The
 
right
 
of
 
use
 
asset
 
will
 
amortise
 
to
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
over
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
lease.
 
The
 
lease
 
liability
 
is
remeasured
 
when
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
following:
 
Future
 
lease
 
payments
 
arising
 
from
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
an
 
index
 
or
 
rate;
 
The

estimate
 
of
 
the
 
amount
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
payable
 
under
 
a
 
residual
 
value
 
guarantee;
 
or
 
The
 
Group’s
 
assessment
 
of
 
whether
 
it
 
will
 
exercise
 
a
 
purchase,
 
extension
 
or
 
termination
 
option.
 
When
 
the
 
lease
 
liability
 
is
 
remeasured,
 
a
 
corresponding
 
adjustment
 
is
 
made
 
to
 
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
ROU
 
asset,
 
or
 
is
 
recorded
 
in
 
the
income
 
statement
 
if
 
the
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
ROU
 
asset
 
has
 
been
 
reduced
 
to
 
nil.
 
On
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet,
 
the
 
ROU
 
assets
 
are
 
included
 
within
 
property,

The
 
Group
 
applies
 
the
 
recognition
 
exemption
 
in
 
IFRS
 
16
 
for
 
leases
 
with
 
a
 
term
 
not

12
 
months.
 
For
 
these

the

on
 
a
 
straight
 
line
 
basis
 
over
 
the
 
lease
 
term
 
unless
 
another
 
systematic
 
basis
 
is
 
more
 
appropriate.
 
When
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
the
 
lessor,
 
the
 
lease
 
must
 
be
 
classified
 
as
 
either
 
a
 
finance
 
lease
 
or
 
an
 
operating
 
lease.
 
A
 
finance
 
lease
 
is
 
a
 
lease
 
which
confers
 
substantially
 
all
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
of
 
the
 
leased
 
assets
 
on
 
the

An

of
 
the
 
leased
 
asset
 
remain
 
with
 
the

When
 
the
 
lease
 
is
 
deemed
 
a
 
finance
 
lease,
 
the
 
leased
 
asset
 
is
 
not
 
held
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet;
 
instead
 
a
 
finance
 
lease
 
receivable
 
is
 
recognised
representing
 
the
 
minimum

payments
 
receivable
 
under
 
the

of
 
the
 
lease,
 
discounted
 
at
 
the
 
rate
 
of
 
interest
 
implicit
 
in
 
the
 
lease.
When
 
the
 
lease
 
is
 
deemed
 
an
 
operating
 
lease,
 
the
 
lease
 
income
 
is
 
recognised
 
on
 
a
 
straight-line
 
basis
 
over
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
the

Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
identified
 
above,
 
Barclays
 
is
 
exposed
 
to:
 
Variable
 
lease
 
payments:
 
This
 
variability
 
will
 
typically
 
arise
 
from
 
either
 
inflation
 
index
 
instruments
 
or
 
market
 
based
 
pricing
 
adjustments.
Currently,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
809
 
(2019:
 
939)
 
leases
 
out
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
1,329
 
(2019:
 
1,467)
 
leases
 
which
 
have
 
variable
 
lease
 
payment
 
terms
 
based
 
on
market
 
based
 
pricing
 
adjustments.
 
Of
 
the
 
gross
 
cash
 
flows
 
identified
 
above,
 
£1,096m
 
(2019:
 
£1,526m)
 
is
 
attributable
 
to
 
leases
 
with
 
some
degree
 
of
 
variability
 
predominately
 
linked
 
to
 
market
 
based
 
pricing
 
adjustments.
 
Extension
 
and
 
termination
 
options:
 
The
 
table
 
above
 
represents
 
Barclays
 
best
 
estimate
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
out
 
flows
 
for
 
leases,
 
including
assumptions
 
regarding
 
the
 
exercising
 
of
 
contractual
 
extension
 
and
 
termination
 
options.
 
The
 
above
 
gross
 
cash
 
flows
 
have
 
been
 
reduced
 
by
£446m
 
(2019:
 
£474m)
 
for
 
leases
 
where
 
Barclays
 
is
 
highly
 
expected
 
to
 
exercise
 
an
 
early
 
termination
 
option.
 
However,
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
significant
impact
 
where
 
Barclays
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
exercise
 
an
 
extension
 
option.
The
 
Group
 
currently
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
any
 
significant
 
sale
 
and
 
lease
 
back
 
transactions.
 
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
any
 
restrictions
 
or
 
covenants
imposed
 
by
 
the
 
lessor
 
on
 
its
 
property
 
leases
 
which
 
restrict
 
its
 
businesses.

Goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
Accounting
 
for
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
assets
Goodwill
The
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
goodwill
 
is
 
determined
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
3
Business
 
Combinations
 
and
 
IAS
 
36
Impairment
 
of
 
Assets.
Goodwill
 
arising
 
on
 
the
 
acquisition
 
of
 
subsidiaries
 
represents
 
the
 
excess
 
of
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
purchase
 
consideration
 
over
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
Group’s
 
share
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
acquired
 
and
 
the
 
liabilities
 
and
 
contingent
 
liabilities
 
assumed
 
on
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
the
 
acquisition.
Goodwill
 
is
 
reviewed
 
annually
 
for
 
impairment,
 
or
 
more
 
frequently
 
when
 
there
 
are
 
indications
 
that
 
impairment
 
may
 
have
 
occurred.
 
The
 
test
involves
 
comparing
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
a
 
cash
 
generating
 
unit
 
(CGU)
 
including
 
goodwill
 
with
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
pre-tax
 
cash
 
flows,
discounted
 
at
 
a
 
rate
 
of
 
interest
 
that
 
reflects
 
the
 
inherent
 
risks,
 
of
 
the
 
CGU
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
goodwill
 
relates,
 
or
 
the
 
CGU’s
 
fair
 
value
 
if
 
this
 
is
 
higher.
Intangible
 
assets
Intangible
 
assets
 
other
 
than
 
goodwill
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
IAS
 
38
Intangible
 
Assets
.
Intangible
 
assets
 
are
 
initially
 
recognised
 
when
 
they
 
are
 
separable
 
or
 
arise
 
from
 
contractual
 
or
 
other
 
legal
 
rights,
 
the
 
cost
 
can
 
be
 
measured
reliably
 
and,
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
intangible
 
assets
 
not
 
acquired
 
in
 
a
 
business
 
combination,
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
probable
 
that
 
future
 
economic
 
benefits
attributable
 
to
 
the
 
assets
 
will
 
flow
 
from
 
their
 
use.
For
 
internally
 
generated
 
intangible
 
assets,
 
only
 
costs
 
incurred
 
during
 
the
 
development
 
phase
 
are
 
capitalised.
 
Expenditures
 
in
 
the
 
research
phase
 
are
 
expensed
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
incurred.
Intangible

Goodwill
Testing
 
goodwill
 
for
 
impairment
 
involves
 
a
 
significant
 
amount
 
of
 
judgement.
 
Goodwill
 
is
 
allocated
 
to
 
CGUs
 
for
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
impairment
 
testing.
 
The
 
review
 
of
 
goodwill
 
for
 
impairment
 
involves
 
calculating
 
a
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
(VIU)
 
valuation
 
which
 
is
 
compared
 
to
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
a
 
CGU
associated
 
with
 
the
 
goodwill
 
to
 
determine
 
whether
 
any
 
impairment
 
has
 
occurred.
 
This
 
includes
 
the
 
identification
 
of
 
independent
 
CGUs
 
across
the
 
organisation
 
and
 
the
 
allocation
 
of
 
goodwill
 
to
 
those
 
CGUs.
 
The
 
calculation
 
of
 
a
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
contains
 
a
 
high
 
degree
 
of
 
uncertainty
 
in
 
estimating
 
the
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
and
 
the
 
rates
 
used
 
to
 
discount
 
them.
 
Key
judgements
 
include
 
determining
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
CGU,
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
and
 
discount
 
rates
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
calculation.
 
 
The
 
cash
 
flow
 
forecasts
 
used
 
by
 
management
 
involve
 
judgement
 
and
 
are
 
based
 
upon
 
a
 
view
 
of
 
the
 
future
 
prospects
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
and
 
market
conditions
 
at
 
the
 
point
 
in
 
time
 
the
 
assessment
 
is
 
prepared.
 
The
 
estimation
 
of
 
pre-tax
 
cash
 
flows
 
is
 
sensitive
 
to
 
the
 
periods
 
for
 
which
 
detailed
forecasts
 
are
 
available
 
and
 
to
 
assumptions
 
regarding
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
cash
 
flows.
 
The
 
discount
 
rates
 
applied
 
to
 
the
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
also
 
involve
 
judgement
 
as
 
they
 
can
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
valuation.
 
The
 
discount
rates
 
used
 
are
 
compared
 
to
 
market
 
participants
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
they
 
are
 
appropriate
 
and
 
based
 
on
 
an
 
estimated
 
cost
 
of
 
equity
 
for
 
each
 
CGU.
 
 
The
 
choice
 
of
 
a
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
of
 
the
 
CGUs
 
is
 
also
 
a
 
judgement
 
that
 
can
 
impact
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
the
 
assessment.
 
The
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
and
 
discount
 
rates
 
used
 
may
 
vary
 
due
 
to
 
external
 
market
 
rates
 
and
 
economic
 
conditions
that
 
are
 
beyond
 
management’s
 
control.
Further
 
details
 
of
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
key
 
judgements
 
are
 
set
 
out
 
below.
 
2020
 
impairment
 
review
The
 
2020
 
impairment
 
review
 
was
 
performed
 
during
 
Q4
 
2020.
 
Given
 
the
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
and
 
interest
 
rate
 
outlook,
 
this
 
review
 
was
performed
 
across
 
all
 
material
 
CGUs.
 
The
 
review
 
identified
 
that
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
CGUs
 
have
 
been
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
changes
 
in
 
their
operating
 
environment,
 
in
 
particular
 
retail
 
and
 
business
 
banking
 
activity.
 
A
 
detailed
 
assessment
 
has
 
been
 
performed,
 
with
 
the
 
approach
 
and
results
 
of
 
this
 
analysis
 
set
 
out
 
below.
Determining
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
CGUs
The
 
carrying
 
value
 
for
 
each
 
CGU
 
is
 
the
 
sum
 
of
 
the
 
tangible
 
equity,
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangible
 
balances
 
associated
 
with
 
that
 
CGU.
The
 
Group
 
manages
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
of
 
its
 
CGUs
 
with
 
reference
 
to
 
tangible
 
equity
 
of
 
the
 
respective
 
businesses.
 
That
 
tangible
 
equity
 
is
derived
 
from
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
risk
 
weighted
 
assets
 
(RWAs)
 
and

to
 
support
 
business

The
 
goodwill
 
held
 
across
 
the
 
group
 
has
 
been
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
CGU
 
where
 
it
 
originated,
 
based
 
upon
 
historical
 
records.
 
The
 
intangible
 
balances
are
 
allocated
 
to
 
the
 
CGUs
 
based
 
upon
 
their
 
expected
 
usage
 
of
 
these
 
assets.
 
Cash
 
flows
The
 
5-year
 
cash
 
flows
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
calculation
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
formally
 
agreed
 
medium
 
term
 
plans
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
 
These
 
are
 
prepared
using
 
macroeconomic
 
assumptions
 
which
 
management
 
consider
 
reasonable
 
and
 
supportable,
 
and
 
reflect
 
business
 
agreed
 
initiatives
 
for
 
the
forecast
 
period.
 
The
 
macroeconomic
 
assumptions
 
underpinning
 
the
 
medium
 
term
 
plan
 
were
 
determined
 
in
 
August
 
2020
 
and
 
management
 
has
considered
 
whether
 
there
 
are
 
subsequent
 
significant
 
changes
 
in
 
those
 
assumptions
 
which
 
would
 
adversely
 
impact
 
the
 
results
 
of
 
the
 
impairment
review.
As
 
required
 
by
 
IAS
 
36,
 
all
 
estimates
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
exclude
 
cash
 
inflows
 
or
 
outflows
 
that
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
arise
 
from
 
restructuring
 
initiatives
where
 
a
 
constructive
 
obligation
 
to
 
carry
 
out
 
the
 
plan
 
does
 
not
 
yet
 
exist.
 
The
 
Education,
 
Social
 
Housing
 
and
 
Local
 
Authority
 
(ESHLA)
 
portfolio
 
has
 
been
 
excluded
 
from
 
the
 
Business
 
Banking
 
CGU
 
cash
 
flows.
 
This
 
is
 
a
legacy
 
loan
 
portfolio
 
which
 
was
 
previously
 
within
 
the
 
Non-Core
 
bank
 
and
 
was
 
not
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
goodwill
 
relates.
 
As
 
such,
 
the
cash
 
flows
 
relating
 
to
 
this
 
portfolio
 
have
 
been
 
excluded
 
from
 
the
 
Business
 
Banking
 
VIU
 
calculation.
 
The
 
Personal
 
Banking
 
CGU
 
cash
 
flows
 
have
 
been
 
extended
 
to
 
a
 
sixth
 
year
 
(prior
 
to
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
terminal
 
values
 
below)
 
to
 
reflect
 
an
observed
 
15bp
 
inflexion
 
point
 
in
 
the
 
yield
 
curve
 
which
 
was
 
beyond
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
the
 
medium
 
term
 
plan.
 
Discount
 
rates
IAS
 
36
 
requires
 
that
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
used
 
in
 
a
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
calculation
 
reflects
 
the
 
pre-tax
 
rate
 
an
 
investor
 
would
 
require
 
if
 
they
 
were
 
to
 
choose
an
 
investment
 
that
 
would
 
generate
 
similar
 
cash
 
flows
 
to
 
those
 
that
 
the
 
entity
 
expects
 
to
 
generate
 
from
 
the
 
asset.
 
In
 
determining
 
the
 
discount
rate,
 
management
 
have
 
identified
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
equity
 
associated
 
with
 
market
 
participants
 
that
 
closely
 
resemble
 
our
 
cash
 
generating
 
units
 
and
adjusted
 
them
 
for
 
tax
 
to
 
arrive
 
at
 
the
 
pre-tax
 
equivalent
 
rate.
 
A
 
range
 
of
 
discount
 
rates
 
have
 
been
 
used
 
across
 
the
 
CGU’s
 
ranging
 
from
 
12.0%
 
to
16.3%
 
(2019:
 
11.0%
 
to
 
13.3%).
 
Terminal
 
growth
 
rate
The
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
is
 
used
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
projecting
 
cash
 
flows
 
to
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
an
 
asset’s
 
useful
 
economic
 
life.
 
It
 
is
 
management’s
judgement
 
that
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
CGUs
 
will
 
grow
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
major
 
economies
 
in
 
which
 
we
 
operate.
 
In
 
prior
 
years,
 
the
growth
 
rate
 
used
 
had
 
been
 
based
 
upon
 
estimated
 
economic
 
growth
 
rates
 
(GDP).
 
Given
 
macroeconomic
 
uncertainty,
 
inflation
 
rates
 
are
 
now
considered
 
a
 
better
 
approximation
 
of
 
future
 
growth
 
rates
 
and
 
are
 
therefore
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rates
 
applied.
The
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
used
 
is
 
2.0%
 
(2019:1.5%).
Outcome
 
of
 
goodwill
 
and
 
intangibles
 
review
The
 
Personal
 
Banking
 
and
 
Business
 
Banking
 
retail
 
banking
 
CGUs
 
carry
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
goodwill
 
balance,
 
predominantly
 
as
 
a
consequence
 
of
 
the
 
Woolwich
 
acquisition.
 
The
 
goodwill
 
within
 
Personal
 
Banking
 
was
 
£2,752m
 
(2019:
 
£2,718m),
 
of
 
which
 
£2,501m
 
(2019:
 
£2,501m)
was
 
attributable
 
to
 
Woolwich,
 
and
 
within
 
Business

was
 
£629m
 
(2019:

Sensitivity
 
of
 
key
 
judgements
The
 
CGU’s
 
are
 
sensitive
 
to
 
possible
 
adverse
 
changes
 
in
 
the
 
key
 
assumptions
 
that
 
support
 
the
 
recoverable
 
amount:
Cash
 
flows:
 
The
 
medium
 
term
 
plans
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
used
 
in
 
the
 
VIU
 
calculation
 
rely
 
on
 
macroeconomic
 
forecasts,
 
including
interest
 
rates,
 
GDP
 
and
 
unemployment,
 
and
 
forecast
 
levels
 
of
 
market
 
and
 
client
 
activity.
 
Interest
 
rate
 
assumptions
 
impact
 
planned
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
both
 
customer
 
income
 
and
 
structural
 
hedge
 
contributions
 
and
 
therefore
 
cash
 
flow
 
expectations
 
are
 
highly
 
sensitive
 
to
 
movements
 
in
 
the
 
yield
 
curve.
The
 
cash
 
flows
 
also
 
contain
 
assumptions
 
with
 
regards
 
to
 
the
 
prudential
 
and
 
financial
 
conduct
 
regulatory
 
environment
 
which
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
change.
 
Given
 
the
 
current
 
level
 
of
 
economic
 
uncertainty,
 
a
 
10%
 
reduction
 
in
 
cash
 
flows
 
has
 
been
 
provided
 
to
 
show
 
the
 
sensitivity
 
of
 
the
 
outcome
 
to
a
 
change
 
in
 
these
 
key
 
assumptions.
 
 
Discount
 
rate:
 
The
 
discount
 
rate
 
should
 
reflect
 
the
 
market
 
risk
 
free
 
rate
 
adjusted
 
for
 
the
 
inherent
 
risks
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
it
 
is
 
applied
 
to.
 
Management
have
 
identified
 
discount
 
rates
 
for
 
comparable
 
businesses
 
and
 
consider
 
these
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
reasonable
 
estimate
 
of
 
a
 
suitable
 
market
 
rate
 
for
 
the
 
profile
 
of
the
 
business
 
unit
 
being
 
tested.
 
The
 
risk
 
that
 
these
 
discount
 
rates
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
appropriate
 
is
 
quantified
 
below
 
and
 
show
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
a
 
100
 
bps
change
 
in
 
the
 
discount
 
rate.
Terminal
 
growth
 
rate:
 
The
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
is
 
used
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
into
 
perpetuity
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
expected
 
longevity
 
of
 
the
 
CGU’s
businesses.
 
The
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
is
 
sensitive
 
to
 
uncertainties
 
in
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
environment.
 
The
 
risk
 
that
 
using
 
inflation
 
data
 
may
 
not
 
be
appropriate
 
for
 
its
 
determination
 
is
 
quantified
 
below
 
and
 
shows
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
100
 
bps
 
change
 
in
 
the
 
terminal
 
value.
Allocated
 
capital
 
rate:
 
Tangible
 
equity
 
is
 
allocated
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
risk
 
weighted
 
assets
 
(RWAs)
 
and
 
capital
 
required
 
to
 
be
 
deployed
 
in
 
the
CGU
 
which
 
is
 
dependent
 
on
 
the
 
relative
 
risk
 
of
 
businesses.
 
The
 
capital
 
ratio
 
used
 
in
 
determining
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
tangible
 
equity
 
allocated
 
to

requires
 
judgements
 
to
 
be
 
made
based
 
on
 
the
 
specific
 
facts
 
and
 
circumstances
 
relating
 
to
 
individual
 
events
 
and
 
often
 
requires
 
specialist
 
professional
 
advice.
 
When
 
matters
 
are
at
 
an
 
early
 
stage,
 
accounting
 
judgements
 
and
 
estimates
 
can
 
be
 
difficult
 
because
 
of
 
the
 
high
 
degree
 
of
 
uncertainty
 
involved.
 
Management
continues
 
to
 
monitor
 
matters
 
as
 
they
 
develop
 
to
 
re-evaluate
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis
 
whether
 
provisions
 
should
 
be
 
recognised,
 
however
 
there
 
can
remain
 
a
 
wide
 
range
 
of
 
possible
 
outcomes
 
and
 
uncertainties,
 
particularly
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
 
matters,
 
and
 
as
 
a
 
result
it
 
is
 
often
 
not
 
practicable
 
to
 
make
 
meaningful
 
estimates
 
even
 
when
 
matters
 
are
 
at
 
a
 
more
 
advanced
 
stage.
 
The
 
complexity
 
of
 
such
 
matters
 
often
 
requires
 
the
 
input
 
of
 
specialist
 
professional
 
advice
 
in
 
making
 
assessments
 
to
 
produce
 
estimates.
Customer
 
redress
 
and
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
 
matters
 
are
 
areas
 
where
 
a
 
higher
 
degree
 
of
 
professional
 
judgement
 
is
 
required.
 
The
amount
 
that
 
is
 
recognised
 
as
 
a
 
provision
 
can
 
also
 
be
 
very
 
sensitive
 
to
 
the
 
assumptions
 
made
 
in
 
calculating
 
it.
 
This
 
gives
 
rise
 
to
 
a
 
large
 
range
 
of
potential
 
outcomes
 
which
 
require
 
judgement
 
in
 
determining
 
an
 
appropriate
 
provision
 
level.

Legal,

The

faces
 
legal,

regulatory
 
challenges,
 
many
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
beyond

The

of
 
the

of
 
these

cannot
 
always

but
 
may
 
materially
 
impact
 
our
 
operations,

and

Matters
 
arising
 
from
 
a

can
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
either
 
a

or
 
a

or
 
both,

The

In
 
2008,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
Qatar
 
Holdings
 
LLC
 
entered
 
into
 
two
 
advisory
 
service
 
agreements
 
(the
 
Agreements).
 
The
 
Financial
 
Conduct
Authority
 
(FCA)
 
conducted
 
an
 
investigation
 
into
 
whether
 
the
 
Agreements
 
may
 
have
 
related
 
to
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
capital
 
raisings
 
in
 
June
 
and
November
 
2008
 
(the
 
Capital
 
Raisings)
 
and
 
therefore
 
should
 
have
 
been
 
disclosed
 
in
 
the
 
announcements
 
or
 
public
 
documents
 
relating
 
to
 
the
Capital
 
Raisings.
 
In
 
2013,
 
the
 
FCA
 
issued
 
warning
 
notices
 
(the
 
Notices)
 
finding
 
that
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
acted
 
recklessly
 
and
in
 
breach
 
of
 
certain
 
disclosure-related
 
listing
 
rules,
 
and
 
that
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
was
 
also
 
in
 
breach
 
of
 
Listing
 
Principle
 
3.
 
The
 
financial
 
penalty
provided
 
in
 
the
 
Notices
 
is
 
£50m.
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays

continue
 
to
 
contest
 
the
 
findings.
 
Following
 
the
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
Serious

Office
 
(SFO)
 
proceedings
 
against
 
certain
 
former

resulting
 
in
 
their
 
acquittals,
 
the

proceedings,
 
which
 
were

against
 
Barclays

and
 
Barclays

up
 
to
 
approximately
 
£819m
 
from
 
Barclays
Bank

allegedly
 
including
 
PCP,
 
in
 
the

The
 
trial
 
took
place
 
in
 
2020
 
and
 
the
 
High
 
Court
 
has
 
indicated
 
that
 
judgment
 
is

The

of
 
the

(DoJ),
 
which
 
received

in
 
January
 
2017,
 
the

of
 
three
 
years,
 
which
expired
 
in

In
 
2015,
 
a

against
 
several

US
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
related
 
civil
 
actions
There
 
are
 
various
 
pending
 
civil
 
actions
 
relating
 
to
 
US
 
Residential
 
Mortgage-Backed
 
Securities
 
(RMBS),
 
including
 
four
 
actions
 
arising
 
from
unresolved
 
repurchase
 
requests
 
submitted
 
by
 
Trustees
 
for
 
certain
 
RMBS,
 
alleging
 
breaches
 
of
 
various
 
loan-level
 
representations
 
and
warranties
 
(R&Ws)
 
made
 
by
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and/or
 
a
 
subsidiary
 
acquired
 
in
 
2007
 
(the
 
Acquired
 
Subsidiary).
 
The
 
unresolved
 
repurchase
requests
 
had
 
an
 
original
 
principal
 
balance
 
of
 
approximately
 
$2.1bn.
 
The
 
Trustees
 
have
 
also
 
alleged
 
that
 
the
 
relevant
 
R&Ws
 
may
 
have
 
been
breached
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
a
 
greater
 
(but
 
unspecified)
 
amount
 
of
 
loans
 
than
 
previously
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
unresolved
 
repurchase
 
requests.
 
These
 
repurchase
 
actions
 
are
 
ongoing.
 
In
 
one
 
repurchase
 
action,
 
the
 
New
 
York
 
Court
 
of
 
Appeals
 
held
 
that
 
claims
 
related
 
to
 
certain
 
R&Ws
 
are
time-barred.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
has
 
reached
 
a
 
settlement
 
to
 
resolve
 
two
 
of
 
the
 
repurchase
 
actions,
 
which
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
final
 
court
 
approval.
 
The
financial
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
settlement
 
is
 
not
 
expected
 
to
 
be

Barclays
 
PLC
 
has
 
been
 
named
 
as
 
a
 
defendant
 
in
 
a
 
claim
 
brought
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
in
 
the
 
High
 
Court
 
of
 
Justice
 
by
 
various
 
shareholders
 
regarding
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
share
 
price
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
allegations
 
contained
 
within
 
a
 
complaint
 
by
 
the
 
New
 
York
 
State
 
Attorney
 
General
 
(NYAG)
 
in
 
2014.
 
The
NYAG
 
complaint
 
was
 
filed
 
against
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
BCI
 
in
 
the
 
Supreme
 
Court
 
of
 
the
 
State
 
of
 
New
 
York
 
alleging,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
that
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
BCI
 
engaged
 
in
 
fraud
 
and
 
deceptive
 
practices
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
LX,
 
BCI’s
 
SEC-registered
 
alternative
 
trading
 
system.
 
Such
claim
 
was
 
settled
 
in
 
2016,
 
as
 
previously
 
disclosed.
 
This
 
new
 
shareholder
 
claim
 
is
 
seeking
 
unquantified
 
damages,
 
although
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
has
not
 
yet
 
been
 
served.
General
The
 
Group
 
is
 
engaged
 
in
 
various
 
other
 
legal,
 
competition
 
and
 
regulatory
 
matters
 
in
 
the
 
UK,
 
the
 
US
 
and
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
other
 
overseas
 
jurisdictions.
It
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
legal
 
proceedings
 
brought
 
by
 
and
 
against
 
the
 
Group
 
which
 
arise
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary
 
course
 
of
 
business
 
from
 
time
 
to
 
time,
 
including
(but
 
not
 
limited
 
to)
 
disputes
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
contracts,
 
securities,
 
debt
 
collection,
 
consumer
 
credit,
 
fraud,
 
trusts,
 
client
 
assets,
 
competition,
 
data
management
 
and
 
protection,
 
intellectual
 
property,
 
money
 
laundering,
 
financial
 
crime,
 
employment,
 
environmental
 
and
 
other
 
statutory
 
and
common
 
law
 
issues.
The
 
Group
 
is
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
enquiries
 
and
 
examinations,
 
requests
 
for
 
information,
 
audits,
 
investigations
 
and
 
legal
 
and
 
other
 
proceedings
 
by
regulators,
 
governmental
 
and
 
other
 
public
 
bodies
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
(but
 
not
 
limited
 
to)
 
consumer
 
protection
 
measures,
 
compliance
 
with
legislation
 
and
 
regulation,
 
wholesale
 
trading
 
activity
 
and
 
other
 
areas
 
of
 
banking
 
and
 
business
 
activities
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
or
 
has
 
been
engaged.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
 
cooperating
 
with
 
the
 
relevant
 
authorities
 
and
 
keeping
 
all
 
relevant
 
agencies
 
briefed
 
as
 
appropriate
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
these
matters
 
and
 
others
 
described
 
in
 
this
 
note
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
At
 
the
 
present
 
time,
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
does
 
not
 
expect
 
the
 
ultimate
 
resolution
 
of
 
any
 
of
 
these
 
other
 
matters
 
to
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
Group’s
 
financial
 
position.
 
However,
 
in
 
light
 
of
 
the
 
uncertainties
 
involved
 
in
 
such
 
matters
 
and
 
the
 
matters
 
specifically
 
described
 
in
 
this
 
note,
 
there
can
 
be
 
no
 
assurance
 
that
 
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
a
 
particular
 
matter
 
or
 
matters
 
(including
 
formerly
 
active
 
matters
 
or
 
those
 
matters
 
arising
 
after
 
the
 
date
of
 
this
 
note)
 
will
 
not
 
be
 
material
 
to
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
results,
 
operations
 
or
 
cash
 
flow
 
for
 
a
 
particular
 
period,
 
depending
 
on,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
the
amount
 
of
 
the

resulting

the

cost
 
of
 
the
 
employee
 
services
 
received
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
shares
 
or
 
share
 
options
 
granted
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
statement
 
over
 
the
 
period
 
that
 
employees
 
provide
 
services.
 
The
 
overall
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
award
 
is
 
calculated
 
using
 
the
 
number
 
of
 
shares
 
and
 
options
expected
 
to
 
vest
 
and
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
shares
 
or
 
options
 
at
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
grant.
 
The
 
number
 
of
 
shares
 
and
 
options
 
expected
 
to
 
vest
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
likelihood
 
that
 
performance
 
and
 
service
 
conditions
 
included
 
in
 
the
terms
 
of
 
the
 
awards
 
will
 
be
 
met.
 
Failure
 
to
 
meet
 
the
 
non-vesting
 
condition
 
is
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
cancellation,
 
resulting
 
in
 
an
 
acceleration
 
of
 
recognition
of
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
employee
 
services.
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
shares
 
is
 
the
 
market
 
price
 
ruling
 
on
 
the
 
grant
 
date,
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
adjusted
 
to
 
reflect
 
restrictions
 
on
 
transferability.
 
The
 
fair
value
 
of
 
options
 
granted
 
is
 
determined
 
using
 
option
 
pricing
 
models
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
numbers
 
of
 
shares
 
likely
 
to
 
vest.
 
These
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
the
exercise
 
price
 
of
 
the
 
option,
 
the
 
current
 
share
 
price,
 
the
 
risk-free
 
interest
 
rate,
 
the
 
expected
 
volatility
 
of
 
the
 
share
 
price
 
over
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
option
and
 
other
 
relevant
 
factors.
 
Market
 
conditions
 
that
 
must
 
be
 
met
 
in
 
order
 
for
 
the
 
award
 
to

are
 
also
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
award,
 
as
are
 
any
 
other
 
non-vesting
 
conditions
 
 
such
 
as

of
 
which
 
are
 
the
 
US

Many
 
of

Governance
The

operates
 
under
 
trust
 
law
 
and
 
is
 
managed
 
and
 
administered
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
members
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
Trust

a
 
private
 
limited
 
company
 
and
 
a
wholly
 
owned
 
subsidiary
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC.
 
The
 
Trustee
 
is
 
the
 
legal
 
owner
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
 
which
 
are
 
held
 
separately
 
from
 
the
assets
 
of
 
the

The
 
Trustee
 
Board
 
comprises
 
six
 
Management
 
Directors
 
selected
 
by
 
Barclays,
 
of
 
whom
 
three
 
are
 
independent
 
Directors
 
with
 
no

for
 
the

The
 
BPSP
 
is
 
a
 
Group
 
Personal
 
Pension
 
arrangement
 
which
 
operates
 
as
 
a
 
collection
 
of
 
personal
 
pension
 
plans.
 
Each
 
personal
 
pension
 
plan
 
is
 
a

contract
 
between
 
the
 
employee
 
and
 
the
 
BPSP
 
provider
 
(Legal
 
&
 
General
 
Assurance

Limited),
 
and
 
is
 
regulated
 
by

Similar
 
principles
 
of
 
pension
 
governance
 
apply
 
to
 
the

As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
UKRF’s
 
scheme
 
assets
 
were
 
in
 
surplus
 
versus
 
IAS
 
19
 
obligations
 
by
 
£1,807m
 
(2019:
 
£2,058m).
 
The
 
movement
for
 
the
 
UKRF
 
was
 
driven
 
by
 
a
 
net
 
decrease
 
in
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
and
 
changes
 
to
 
pension
 
increase
 
assumptions,
 
offset
 
partially
 
by
 
higher
 
than
assumed
 
asset
 
returns.
 
During
 
the
 
year
 
the
 
UKRF
 
invested
 
in
 
non-transferable
 
listed
 
senior
 
gilt-backed
 
notes
 
for
 
£750m,
 
partially
 
financed
 
by
£500m
 
deficit
 
contributions
 
(the
 
“Heron

transaction).
 
The
 
net
 
impact
 
of
 
£250m
 
on
 
plan
 
assets
 
is
 
shown
 
as
 
an
 
outflow

the

reflected
 
in
 
the
 
defined
 
benefit
 
obligation
 
for
 
the
 
UKRF
 
is
 
17
 
years.
 
The
 
UKRF
 
expected
benefits
 
are
 
projected
 
to
 
be
 
paid
 
out
 
for
 
in
 
excess
 
of
 
50
 
years,
 
although
 
25%
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
benefits
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
paid
 
in
 
the
 
next
 
10
 
years;
30%
 
in
 
years
 
11
 
to
 
20
 
and
 
25%
 
in
 
years
 
20
 
to
 
30.
 
The
 
remainder
 
of
 
the
 
benefits
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
paid
 
beyond
 
30
 
years.
Of
 
the
 
£1,370m
 
(2019:
 
£1,410m)
 
UKRF
 
benefits
 
paid
 
out,
 
£520m
 
(2019:
 
£580m)
 
related
 
to
 
transfers
 
out
 
of
 
the
 
fund.
Where
 
a
 
scheme’s
 
assets
 
exceed
 
its
 
obligation,
 
an
 
asset
 
is
 
recognised
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
that
 
it
 
does
 
not
 
exceed
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
future
contribution
 
holidays
 
or
 
refunds
 
of
 
contributions
 
(the
 
asset
 
ceiling).
 
In
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
 
the
 
asset
 
ceiling
 
is
 
not
 
applied
 
as,
 
in
 
certain
specified
 
circumstances
 
such
 
as
 
wind-up,
 
the
 
Group
 
expects
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
recover
 
any
 
surplus.
 
Similarly,
 
a
 
liability
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
future
 
minimum
funding
 
requirements
 
is
 
not
 
recognised.
 
The
 
Trustee
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
a
 
substantive
 
right
 
to
 
augment
 
benefits,
 
nor
 
do
 
they
 
have
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
wind
up
 
the
 
plan
 
except
 
in
 
the
 
dissolution
 
of
 
the
 
Group
 
or
 
termination

by
 
the

The
 
application
 
of
 
the

plans
and
 
recognition
 
of
 
additional
 
liabilities
 
in

The

The

was
 
set
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
the

The

2020,
 
the
 
UKRF
 
entered
 
into
 
a
 
£5bn
 
longevity
 
swap
 
to
 
hedge
 
around
 
a
 
quarter
 
of
 
current
 
pensioner
 
liabilities
 
against
unexpected
 
increases
 
in
 
life
 
expectancy.
 
The
 
swap
 
will
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF’s
 
investment
 
portfolio
 
and
 
provide
 
income
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
that
pensions
 
are
 
paid
 
out
 
for
 
longer
 
than
 
expected.
 
The
 
UKRF
 
Trustee
 
established
 
a
 
Guernsey
 
based
 
captive
 
insurer
 
(Barclays
 
UKRF
 
No.1
 
IC
Limited)
 
to
 
act
 
as
 
an
 
insurance
 
intermediary
 
between
 
the
 
UKRF
 
and
 
swap
 
provider.
 
The
 
swap
 
is
 
not
 
included
 
directly
 
within
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
of
Barclays
 
PLC
 
as
 
it
 
is
 
an
 
asset
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF.
 
At
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
swap
 
is
 
valued
 
at
 
nil
 
fair
 
value
 
as
 
it
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
remain
 
at
 
fair
 
market
value
 
for
 
both
 
parties
 
over
 
the
 
very
 
limited
 
period
 
from
 
11
 
December
 
2020
 
to
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
Sensitivity
 
analysis
 
on
 
actuarial
 
assumptions
The
 
sensitivity
 
analysis
 
has
 
been
 
calculated
 
by
 
valuing
 
the
 
UKRF
 
liabilities
 
using
 
the
 
amended
 
assumptions
 
shown
 
in
 
the
 
table
 
below
 
and
keeping
 
the
 
remaining
 
assumptions
 
the
 
same
 
as
 
disclosed
 
in
 
the
 
table
 
above,
 
except
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
the
 
inflation
 
sensitivity
 
where
 
other
assumptions
 
that
 
depend
 
on
 
assumed
 
inflation
 
have
 
also
 
been
 
amended
 
correspondingly.
 
The
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
recalculated
 
liability
figure
 
and
 
that
 
stated
 
in
 
the
 
balance

is

Assets
A
 
long-term
 
investment
 
strategy
 
has
 
been
 
set
 
for
 
the
 
UKRF,
 
with
 
its
 
asset
 
allocation
 
comprising
 
a
 
mixture
 
of
 
equities,
 
bonds,
 
property
 
and
 
other
appropriate
 
assets.
 
This
 
recognises
 
that
 
different
 
asset
 
classes
 
are
 
likely
 
to
 
produce
 
different
 
long-term
 
returns
 
and
 
some
 
asset
 
classes
 
may
 
be
more
 
volatile
 
than
 
others.
 
The
 
long-term
 
investment
 
strategy
 
ensures,
 
among
 
other
 
aims,
 
that
 
investments
 
are
 
adequately
 
diversified.

valuation
The

update
 
as
 
at
 
30
 
September
 
2020
 
showed
 
the
 
funding
 
deficit
 
had
 
improved
 
to
 
£0.9bn
 
from
 
the
 
£2.3bn
 
shown
 
at
 
the
 
30
September
 
2019
 
triennial
 
valuation.
 
The
 
improvement
 
was
 
mainly
 
due
 
to
 
£1.0bn
 
of
 
deficit
 
reduction
 
contributions
 
paid
 
over
 
the
 
year.
The
 
main
 
differences
 
between
 
the
 
funding
 
and
 
accounting
 
assumptions
 
are
 
a
 
different
 
approach
 
to
 
setting
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
and
 
a
 
more
conservative
 
longevity
 
assumption
 
for
 
funding.

have
 
entered
 
into
 
an
 
arrangement
 
whereby
 
a

100%
 
of
 
the

with
 
an

The

IFRS

Consolidated
 
Financial
 
Statements
.
 
The
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
combine
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
the
Group
 
and
 
all
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
 
Subsidiaries
 
are
 
entities
 
over
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
control.
 
Under
 
IFRS
 
10,
 
this
 
is
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
exposed
 
or
has
 
rights
 
to
 
variable
 
returns
 
from
 
its
 
involvement
 
in
 
the
 
entity
 
and
 
has
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
affect
 
those
 
returns
 
through
 
its
 
power
 
over
 
the
 
entity.
The
 
Group
 
reassesses
 
whether
 
it
 
controls
 
an
 
entity
 
if
 
facts
 
and
 
circumstances
 
indicate
 
that
 
there
 
have
 
been
 
changes
 
to
 
its
 
power,
 
its
 
rights
 
to
variable
 
returns
 
or
 
its
 
ability
 
to
 
use
 
its
 
power
 
to
 
affect
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
its
 
returns.
Intra-group
 
transactions
 
and
 
balances
 
are
 
eliminated
 
on
 
consolidation
 
and
 
consistent
 
accounting
 
policies
 
are

for
 
the
purposes
 
of
 
the

Changes
 
in
 
ownership

in

if
 
they

control
has

and
 
they

The

of

of
 
each
 
of
 
the
 
above
 
subsidiaries.
 
Ownership
 
interests
 
are
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
different
 
to
 
voting
 
interests
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
existence
 
of
 
non-voting
 
equity
 
interests,
 
such
 
as
 
preference
shares.
 
Refer
 
to
 
Note

for
 
more
 
information.
 
Determining
 
whether
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
control
 
of
 
an
 
entity
 
is
 
generally
 
straightforward
 
based
 
on
 
ownership
 
of
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
voting
 
capital.
However,
 
in
 
certain
 
instances,
 
this
 
determination
 
will
 
involve
 
judgement,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
structured
 
entities
 
where
 
voting
 
rights
 
are
often
 
not
 
the
 
determining
 
factor
 
in
 
decisions
 
over
 
the
 
relevant
 
activities.
 
This
 
judgement
 
will
 
involve
 
assessing
 
the
 
purpose
 
and
 
design
 
of
 
the
entity.
 
It
 
will
 
also
 
often
 
be
 
necessary
 
to
 
consider
 
whether
 
the
 
Group,
 
or
 
another
 
involved
 
party
 
with
 
power
 
over
 
the
 
relevant
 
activities,
 
is
 
acting
 
as
a
 
principal
 
in
 
its
 
own
 
right
 
or
 
as
 
an
 
agent
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
others.
 
There
 
is
 
also
 
often
 
considerable
 
judgement
 
involved
 
in
 
the
 
ongoing
 
assessment
 
of
 
control
 
over
 
structured
 
entities.
 
In
 
this
 
regard,
 
where
 
market
conditions
 
have
 
deteriorated
 
such
 
that
 
the
 
other
 
investors’
 
exposures
 
to
 
the
 
structure’s
 
variable
 
returns
 
have
 
been
 
substantively
 
eliminated,
 
the
Group
 
may
 
conclude
 
that
 
the
 
managers
 
of
 
the
 
structured
 
entity
 
are
 
acting
 
as
 
its
 
agent
 
and
 
therefore
 
will
 
consolidate
 
the
 
structured
 
entity.
 
An
 
interest
 
in
 
equity
 
voting
 
rights
 
exceeding
 
50%
 
would
 
typically
 
indicate
 
that
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
control
 
of
 
an
 
entity.
 
However,
 
the
 
entity
 
set
 
out
below
 
is
 
excluded
 
from
 
consolidation
 
because
 
the
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
exposure
 
to
 
its
 
variable
 
returns.

Significant
 
restrictions
As
 
is
 
typical
 
for
 
a
 
group
 
of
 
its
 
size
 
and
 
international
 
scope,
 
there
 
are
 
restrictions
 
on
 
the
 
ability
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
to
 
obtain
 
distributions
 
of
capital,
 
access
 
the
 
assets
 
or
 
repay
 
the
 
liabilities
 
of
 
members
 
of
 
its
 
Group
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
statutory,
 
regulatory
 
and
 
contractual
 
requirements
 
of
 
its
subsidiaries
 
and
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
protective
 
rights
 
of
 
non-controlling
 
interests.
 
These
 
are
 
considered
 
below.
Regulatory
 
requirements
Barclays’
 
principal
 
subsidiary
 
companies
 
have
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities

respectively.
 
Certain
 
of
 
these
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
prudential
 
regulation
 
and
 
regulatory
 
capital
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
countries
 
in
 
which
 
they
 
are
 
regulated.
 
These
 
require
 
entities
 
to
 
maintain
 
minimum
 
capital
 
levels
 
which
 
cannot
 
be
 
returned
to
 
the
 
parent
 
company,
 
Barclays
 
PLC,
 
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
basis.
 
In
 
order
 
to
 
meet
 
capital
 
requirements,
 
subsidiaries
 
may
 
issue
 
certain
 
equity-accounted
 
and
 
debt-accounted
 
financial
 
instruments
 
and
 
non-
equity
 
instruments
 
such
 
as
 
Tier

capital
 
instruments
 
and
 
other
 
forms
 
of

Refer

These

may
 
be
 
subject
 
to

restrictions
 
that

the

on
 
a
 
timely
 
basis.
Liquidity
 
requirements
Regulated
 
subsidiaries
 
of
 
the

are
 
required
 
to
 
meet
 
applicable
 
PRA
 
or
 
local
 
regulatory
 
requirements
 
pertaining
 
to

Statutory

The

subsidiaries
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
statutory
 
requirements
 
not
 
to
 
make
 
distributions
 
of
 
capital
 
and
 
unrealised
 
profits
 
and
 
generally
 
to
maintain
 
solvency.
 
These
 
requirements
 
restrict
 
the
 
ability
 
of
 
subsidiaries
 
to
 
make
 
remittances
 
of
 
dividends
 
to
 
Barclays
 
PLC,
 
the
 
ultimate
 
parent,
except
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
a

In
 
most
 
cases,
 
the
 
regulatory
 
restrictions
 
referred

exceed
 
the
 
statutory
restrictions.

uses
 
its
 
financial
 
assets
 
to
 
raise

the

of
 
securitisations

Structured
 
entities
A
 
structured
 
entity
 
is
 
an
 
entity
 
in
 
which
 
voting
 
or
 
similar
 
rights
 
are
 
not
 
the
 
dominant
 
factor
 
in
 
deciding
 
control.
 
Structured
 
entities
 
are
 
generally
created
 
to
 
achieve
 
a
 
narrow
 
and
 
well-defined
 
objective
 
with
 
restrictions
 
around
 
their
 
ongoing
 
activities.
 
Depending
 
on
 
the
 
Group’s
 
power
 
over
 
the
 
activities
 
of
 
the
 
entity
 
and
 
its
 
exposure
 
to
 
and
 
ability
 
to
 
influence
 
its
 
own
 
returns,
 
it
 
may
 
consolidate
the
 
entity.
 
In
 
other
 
cases,
 
it
 
may
 
sponsor
 
or
 
have
 
exposure
 
to
 
such
 
an
 
entity
 
but
 
not
 
consolidate
 
it.
Consolidated
 
structured
 
entities
The
 
Group
 
has
 
contractual
 
arrangements
 
which
 
may
 
require
 
it
 
to
 
provide
 
financial
 
support
 
to
 
the
 
following
 
types
 
of
 
consolidated
 
structured
entities:
 
Securitisation
 
vehicles:
 
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
securitisation
 
as
 
a
 
source
 
of
 
financing
 
and
 
a
 
means
 
of
 
risk
 
transfer.

Unconsolidated
 
structured
 
entities
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
an
 
interest
An
 
interest
 
in
 
a
 
structured
 
entity
 
is
 
any
 
form
 
of
 
contractual
 
or
 
non-contractual
 
involvement
 
which
 
creates
 
variability
 
in
 
returns
 
arising
 
from
 
the
performance
 
of
 
the
 
entity
 
for
 
the
 
Group.
 
Such
 
interests
 
include
 
holdings
 
of
 
debt
 
or
 
equity
 
securities,
 
derivatives
 
that
 
transfer
 
financial
 
risks
 
from
the
 
entity
 
to
 
the
 
Group,
 
lending,
 
loan
 
commitments,
 
financial
 
guarantees
 
and
 
investment
 
management
 
agreements.
Interest
 
rate
 
swaps,
 
foreign
 
exchange
 
derivatives
 
that
 
are
 
not
 
complex
 
and
 
which
 
expose
 
the
 
Group
 
to
 
insignificant
 
credit
 
risk
 
by
 
being
 
senior
 
in
the
 
payment
 
waterfall
 
of
 
a
 
securitisation
 
and
 
derivatives
 
that
 
are
 
determined
 
to
 
introduce
 
risk
 
or

to
 
a

Secured
 
financing
 
arrangements,
 
short-term
 
traded
 
interests
 
and
 
traded
 
derivatives
 
are
 
typically
 
managed
 
under
 
market
 
risk
 
management
policies
 
described
 
in
 
the
 
Market
 
risk
 
management
 
section
 
which
 
includes
 
an
 
indication
 
of
 
the
 
change
 
of
 
risk
 
measures
 
compared
 
to
 
last
 
year.
For
 
this
 
reason,
 
the
 
total
 
assets
 
of
 
these
 
entities
 
are
 
not
 
considered
 
meaningful
 
for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
understanding
 
the
 
related
 
risks
 
and
 
so
 
have
not
 
been
 
presented.
 
Other
 
interests
 
include
 
conduits
 
and
 
lending
 
where
 
the
 
interest
 
is
 
driven
 
by
 
normal
 
customer
 
demand.
Secured
 
financing
 
The
 
Group
 
routinely
 
enters
 
into
 
reverse
 
repurchase
 
contracts,
 
stock
 
borrowing
 
and
 
similar
 
arrangements
 
on
 
normal
 
commercial
 
terms
 
where
 
the
counterparty
 
to
 
the
 
arrangement
 
is
 
a
 
structured
 
entity.
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
these
 
arrangements,
 
especially
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
collateral
 
and
 
ongoing
margining,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
minimal
 
exposure
 
to
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
the
 
structured
 
entity
 
counterparty.
 
This
 
includes
 
margin
 
lending
 
which
 
is
presented
 
under
 
financial
 
assets
 
at
 
fair
 
value
 
through
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
to
 
align
 
to
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
presentation.
Short-term
 
traded
 
interests
The
 
Group
 
buys
 
and
 
sells
 
interests
 
in
 
structured
 
entities
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
its
 
trading
 
activities,
 
for
 
example,
 
retail
 
mortgage-backed
 
securities,
collateralised
 
debt
 
obligations
 
and
 
similar
 
interests.
 
Such
 
interests
 
are
 
typically
 
held
 
individually
 
or
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
a
 
larger
 
portfolio
 
for
 
no
 
more
 
than
90
 
days.
 
In
 
such
 
cases,
 
the
 
Group
 
typically
 
has
 
no
 
other
 
involvement
 
with
 
the
 
structured
 
entity
 
other
 
than
 
the
 
securities
 
it
 
holds
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
trading
activities
 
and
 
its
 
maximum
 
exposure
 
to
 
loss
 
is
 
restricted
 
to
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
asset.
As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
£10,682m
 
(2019:
 
£8,903m)
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
£11,361m
 
(2019:
 
£9,585m)
 
short-term
 
traded
 
interests
 
were
 
comprised
 
of
debt
 
securities
 
issued
 
by
 
asset
 
securitisation
 
vehicles.
Traded
 
derivatives
The
 
Group
 
enters
 
into
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
derivative
 
contracts
 
with
 
structured
 
entities
 
which
 
reference
 
market
 
risk
 
variables
 
such
 
as
 
interest
 
rates,
foreign
 
exchange
 
rates
 
and
 
credit
 
indices
 
among
 
other
 
things.
 
The
 
main
 
derivative
 
types
 
which
 
are
 
considered
 
interests
 
in
 
structured
 
entities
include
 
index-based
 
and
 
entity
 
specific
 
credit
 
default
 
swaps,
 
balance
 
guaranteed
 
swaps,
 
total
 
return
 
swaps,
 
commodities
 
swaps,
 
and
 
equity
swaps.
 
A
 
description
 
of
 
the
 
types
 
of
 
derivatives
 
and
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
practices
 
are
 
detailed
 
in
 
Note
 
14.
 
The
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
may
 
be
 
mitigated
through
 
ongoing
 
margining
 
requirements
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
a
 
right
 
to
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
the
 
structured
 
entity
 
which
 
are
 
senior
 
in
 
the
 
payment
 
waterfall.
Such
 
margining
 
requirements
 
are
 
consistent
 
with
 
market
 
practice
 
for
 
many
 
derivative
 
arrangements
 
and
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Group’s
 
normal
 
credit
policies.
Derivative
 
transactions
 
require
 
the
 
counterparty
 
to
 
provide
 
cash
 
or
 
other
 
collateral
 
under
 
margining
 
agreements
 
to
 
mitigate
 
counterparty
 
credit
risk.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
 
mainly
 
exposed
 
to
 
settlement
 
risk
 
on
 
these
 
derivatives
 
which
 
is
 
mitigated
 
through
 
daily
 
margining.
 
Total
 
notional
 
contract
amounts
 
were
 
£153,894m
 
(2019:
 
£314,170m).
Except
 
for
 
credit
 
default
 
swaps
 
where
 
the
 
maximum
 
exposure
 
to
 
loss
 
is
 
the
 
swap
 
notional
 
amount,
 
it
 
is
 
not
 
possible
 
to
 
estimate
 
the
 
maximum
exposure
 
to
 
loss
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
derivative
 
positions
 
as
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
derivatives
 
is

.
 
Associates

has
significant
 
influence,

less

Securitisations
Accounting
 
for
 
securitisations
The
 
Group
 
uses
 
securitisations
 
as
 
a
 
source
 
of
 
finance
 
and
 
a
 
means
 
of
 
risk
 
transfer.
 
Such
 
transactions
 
generally
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
portfolios
 
of
 
financial
 
assets
 
to
 
holders
 
of
 
issued
 
debt
 
securities.
Securitisations
 
may,
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
individual
 
arrangement,
 
result
 
in
 
continued
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
 
securitised
 
assets
 
and
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
debt
 
securities
 
issued
 
in
 
the
 
transaction;
 
lead
 
to
 
partial
 
continued
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
continuing
 
involvement
 
in
those
 
assets
 
or
 
lead
 
to
 
derecognition
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
the
 
separate
 
recognition,
 
as
 
assets
 
or
 
liabilities,
 
of
 
any
 
rights
 
and
 
obligations
 
created
 
or
retained
 
in
 
the
 
transfer.
 
Full
 
derecognition
 
only
 
occurs
 
when
 
the
 
Group
 
transfers
 
both
 
its
 
contractual
 
right
 
to
 
receive
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
the
 
financial
assets,
 
or
 
retains
 
the
 
contractual
 
rights
 
to
 
receive
 
the
 
cash
 
flows,
 
but
 
assumes
 
a
 
contractual
 
obligation
 
to
 
pay
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
to
 
another
 
party
without
 
material
 
delay
 
or
 
reinvestment,
 
and
 
also
 
transfers
 
substantially
 
all
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
rewards
 
of
 
ownership,
 
including
 
credit
 
risk,
 
prepayment
risk
 
and
 
interest
 
rate
 
risk.
In
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
its
 
normal
 
banking
 
activities,
 
the
 
Group
 
makes
 
transfers
 
of
 
financial
 
assets,
 
either
 
where
 
legal
 
rights
 
to
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
the
asset
 
are
 
passed
 
to
 
the
 
counterparty
 
or
 
beneficially,
 
where
 
the
 
Group
 
retains
 
the
 
rights
 
to
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
but
 
assumes
 
a
 
responsibility
 
to
 
transfer
them
 
to
 
the
 
counterparty.
 
Depending
 
on
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
transaction,
 
this
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
derecognition
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
in
 
their
 
entirety,
 
partial
derecognition
 
or
 
no
 
derecognition
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
transfer.
 
A
 
summary

the
 
main
 
transactions,
 
and
 
the
 
assets

financial
 
risks
 
arising
 
from
 
these

Securitisations
The

to
 
securitisation
 
transactions
 
involving
 
its
 
credit
 
card
 
balances
 
and
 
other
 
personal
 
lending.
 
In
 
these

the

the
 
assets,
 
or
 
beneficial
 
interests
 
in
 
the
 
cash
 
flows
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
assets,
 
are
 
transferred
 
to
 
a
 
special
 
purpose
 
entity,
 
which
then
 
issues
 
interest
 
bearing
 
debt
 
securities
 
to
 
third
 
party
 
investors.
 
Securitisations
 
may,
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
individual
 
arrangement,
 
result
 
in
 
continued
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
 
securitised
 
assets
 
and
 
the
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
debt
 
securities
 
issued
 
in
 
the
 
transaction.
 
Partial
 
continued
 
recognition
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
continuing
 
involvement
 
in
 
those
assets
 
can
 
also
 
occur
 
or

included
 
within

represent

the

and
 
rewards
 
of
 
the
asset
 
have
 
been
 
retained
 
by
 
the
 
Group.
The
 
relationship
 
between
 
the
 
transferred
 
assets
 
and
 
the
 
associated
 
liabilities
 
is
 
that
 
holders
 
of
 
notes
 
may
 
only
 
look
 
to
 
cash
 
flows
 
from
 
the
securitised
 
assets
 
for
 
payments
 
of
 
principal
 
and
 
interest
 
due
 
to
 
them
 
under
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
their
 
notes,
 
although
 
the
 
contractual
 
terms
 
of
 
their
 
notes
may
 
be
 
different
 
to
 
the
 
maturity
 
and
 
interest
 
of
 
the
 
transferred
 
assets.
For
 
transfers
 
of
 
assets
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
repurchase
 
agreements,
 
refer
 
to
 
Note

Continuing
 
involvement
 
in
 
financial
 
assets
 
that
 
have
 
been
 
derecognised
In
 
some
 
cases,
 
the
 
Group
 
may
 
have
 
transferred
 
a
 
financial
 
asset
 
in
 
its
 
entirety
 
but
 
may
 
have
 
continuing
 
involvement
 
in
 
it.
 
This
 
arises
 
in
 
asset
securitisations
 
where
 
loans
 
and
 
asset
 
backed
 
securities
 
were
 
derecognised
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
Group’s
 
involvement
 
with
 
asset
 
backed
 
securities,
residential
 
mortgage
 
backed
 
securities
 
and
 
commercial
 
mortgage
 
backed
 
securities.
 
Continuing
 
involvement
 
largely
 
arises
 
from
 
providing
financing
 
into
 
these
 
structures
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
retained
 
notes,
 
which
 
do
 
not
 
bear
 
first
 
losses.

Interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform
Following
 
the
 
financial
 
crisis,
 
the
 
reform
 
and
 
replacement
 
of
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rates
 
such
 
as
 
IBOR
 
has
 
become
 
a
 
priority
 
for
 
global
 
regulators.
The
 
UK’s
 
Financial
 
Conduct
 
Authority
 
(FCA)
 
and
 
other
 
global
 
regulators
 
have
 
instructed
 
market
 
participants
 
to
 
prepare
 
for
 
the
 
cessation
 
of
LIBOR
 
after
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021,
 
and
 
to
 
adopt
 
“near
 
Risk-Free
 
Rates”
 
(RFRs).
 
While
 
it
 
is
 
expected
 
that
 
most
 
reforms
 
affecting
 
the
 
Group
 
will
 
be
completed
 
by
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
2021,
 
consultations
 
and
 
possible
 
regulatory
 
changes
 
are
 
in
 
progress.
 
This
 
may
 
mean
 
that
 
some
 
LIBORs
 
continue
 
to
 
be
published
 
beyond
 
that
 
date.
The
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
exposure
 
is
 
predominately
 
to
 
GBP,
 
USD,
 
JPY
 
and
 
CHF
 
LIBOR
 
and
 
Euro
 
Overnight
 
Index
 
Average
 
(EONIA)
 
with
 
the
 
vast
majority
 
concentrated
 
in
 
derivatives
 
within
 
the
 
Corporate
 
and
 
Investment
 
Bank.
 
Some
 
additional
 
exposure
 
resides
 
on
 
floating
 
rate
 
loans
 
and
advances,
 
repurchase
 
agreements
 
and
 
debt
 
securities
 
held
 
and
 
issued
 
within
 
the
 
Corporate
 
and
 
Investment
 
Bank.
 
Retail
 
lending
 
and
 
mortgage
exposure
 
in
 
Barclays
 
UK
 
is
 
minimal.
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
consider
 
there
 
to
 
be
 
risk
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
Euro
 
Interbank
 
Offered
 
Rate
 
(EURIBOR)
 
arising
 
from
 
IBOR
 
reform
 
as
 
at
 
31
December
 
2020.
 
This
 
is
 
because
 
the
 
calculation
 
methodology
 
of
 
EURIBOR
 
changed
 
during
 
2019
 
and
 
the
 
reform
 
of
 
EURIBOR
 
is
 
complete.
 
In
July
 
2019,
 
the
 
Belgian
 
Financial
 
Services
 
and
 
Markets
 
Authority
 
(as
 
the
 
administrator
 
of
 
EURIBOR)
 
granted
 
authorisation
 
with
 
respect
 
to
EURIBOR
 
under
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
Benchmarks
 
Regulation.
 
This
 
allows
 
market
 
participants
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
use
 
EURIBOR
 
after
 
1
 
January
2021
 
for
 
both
 
existing
 
and
 
new
 
contracts.
 
The
 
EUR
 
Risk
 
Free
 
Rate
 
Working
 
Group
 
has
 
not
 
contemplated
 
the
 
cessation
 
of
 
EURIBOR.
 
The
Group
 
expects
 
that
 
EURIBOR
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
exist
 
as
 
a
 
benchmark
 
rate
 
for
 
the
 
foreseeable
 
future.
There
 
are
 
key
 
differences
 
between
 
IBORs
 
and
 
RFRs.
 
IBORs
 
are
 
‘term
 
rates’,
 
which
 
means
 
that
 
they
 
are
 
published
 
for
 
a
 
borrowing
 
period
 
(for
example
 
three
 
months),
 
and
 
they
 
are
 
‘forward-looking’,
 
because
 
they
 
are
 
published
 
at
 
the
 
beginning
 
of
 
a
 
borrowing
 
period,
 
based
 
upon
 
an
estimated
 
inter-bank
 
borrowing
 
cost
 
for
 
the
 
period.
 
RFRs
 
are
 
based
 
upon
 
overnight
 
rates
 
from
 
actual
 
transactions,
 
and
 
are
 
therefore
 
published
after
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
overnight
 
borrowing
 
period.
 
Furthermore,
 
IBORs
 
include
 
a
 
credit
 
spread
 
over
 
the
 
RFRs.
 
Therefore,
 
to
 
transition
 
existing
contracts
 
and
 
agreements
 
to
 
RFRs,
 
adjustments
 
for
 
term
 
and
 
credit
 
differences
 
may
 
need
 
to
 
be
 
applied
 
to
 
RFR-linked
 
rates.
 
The
 
methodologies
for
 
determining
 
these
 
adjustments
 
are
 
undergoing
 
in-depth
 
consultations
 
by
 
industry
 
working
 
groups,
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
respective
 
global
regulators
 
and
 
related
 
market
 
participants.
How
 
the
 
Group
 
is
 
managing
 
the
 
transition
 
to
 
alternative
 
benchmark
 
rates
 
Barclays
 
has
 
established
 
a
 
Group-wide
 
LIBOR
 
Transition
 
Programme,
 
with
 
oversight
 
from
 
the
 
Group
 
Finance
 
Director.
 
The
 
Programme
 
spans
all
 
business
 
lines
 
and
 
has
 
cross-functional
 
governance
 
which
 
includes
 
Legal,
 
Conduct
 
Risk,
 
Client
 
Engagement
 
and
 
Communications,
 
Risk,
 
and
Finance.
 
The
 
Transition
 
Programme
 
aims
 
to
 
drive
 
strategic
 
execution,
 
and
 
identify,
 
manage
 
and
 
resolve
 
key
 
risks
 
and
 
issues
 
as
 
they
 
arise.
Accountable
 
Executives
 
are
 
in
 
place
 
within
 
key
 
working
 
groups
 
across
 
businesses
 
and
 
workstreams.
 
Barclays’
 
transition
 
plans
 
primarily
 
focus
on
 
G5
 
currencies
 
while
 
providing
 
quarterly
 
updates
 
on
 
progress
 
and
 
exposures
 
to
 
the
 
PRA/FCA
 
and
 
other
 
regulators
 
as
 
required.
The
 
Transition
 
Programme
 
follows
 
a
 
risk
 
based
 
approach,
 
using
 
recognised
 
‘change
 
delivery’
 
control
 
standards,
 
to
 
drive
 
strategic
 
execution,
and
 
identify,
 
manage
 
and
 
resolve
 
key
 
risks
 
and
 
issues
 
as
 
they
 
arise.
 
Accountable
 
Executives
 
are
 
in
 
place
 
within
 
key
 
working
 
groups,
 
with
overall
 
Board
 
oversight
 
delegated
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
and
 
the
 
Group
 
Finance
 
Director.
 
Barclays
 
performs
 
a
 
prominent
 
stewardship
role
 
to
 
drive
 
orderly
 
transition
 
via
 
our
 
representation
 
on
 
official
 
sector
 
and
 
industry
 
working
 
groups
 
across
 
all
 
major
 
jurisdictions
 
and
 
product
classes.
 
Additionally,
 
the
 
Group
 
Finance
 
Director
 
is
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
UK’s
 
‘Working
 
Group
 
on
 
Sterling
 
Risk-Free
 
Reference
 
Rates’,
 
whose
 
m
 
andate
is
 
to
 
catalyse
 
a
 
broad-based
 
transition
 
to
 
using
 
SONIA
 
(‘Sterling
 
Overnight
 
Index
 
Average’)
 
as
 
the
 
primary
 
sterling
 
interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
in
bond,
 
loan
 
and
 
derivatives
 
markets.
 
Approaches
 
to
 
transition
 
exposure
 
expiring
 
post
 
the
 
expected
 
end
 
dates
 
for
 
LIBOR
 
vary
 
by
 
product
 
and
 
nature
 
of
 
counterparty.
 
The
 
Group
 
is
actively
 
engaging
 
with
 
the
 
counterparties
 
to
 
transition
 
or
 
include
 
appropriate
 
fallback
 
provisions
 
and
 
transition
 
mechanisms
 
in
 
its
 
floating
 
rate
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
with
 
maturities
 
after
 
2021,
 
when
 
most
 
IBORs
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
cease
 
to
 
be
 
published.
 
For
 
the
 
derivative
 
population,
adherence
 
to
 
the
 
ISDA
 
IBOR
 
Fallbacks
 
Protocol
 
now
 
provides
 
Barclays
 
with
 
an
 
efficient
 
mechanism
 
to
 
amend
 
outstanding
 
trades
 
to
 
incorporate
fallbacks.
 
Beyond
 
the
 
ISDA
 
IBOR
 
Fallbacks
 
Protocol,
 
there
 
will
 
be
 
options
 
to
 
terminate
 
or
 
bilaterally
 
agree
 
new
 
terms
 
with
 
counterparties.
Barclays
 
expects
 
derivative
 
contracts
 
facing
 
central
 
clearing
 
counterparties
 
to
 
follow
 
a
 
market-wide,
 
standardised
 
approach
 
to
 
reform.
Market
 
participants
 
are
 
currently
 
awaiting
 
publication
 
of
 
the
 
results
 
of
 
ICE
 
Benchmark
 
Administration’s
 
consultation
 
on
 
plans
 
to
 
cease
publication
 
of
 
most
 
LIBORs
 
at
 
end
 
2021,
 
with
 
certain,
 
actively
 
used
 
USD
 
LIBOR
 
tenors
 
continuing
 
to
 
be
 
provided
 
until
 
end
 
June
 
2023.
 
The
 
FCA
expects
 
to
 
enable
 
publication
 
of
 
a
 
synthetic
 
LIBOR
 
rate
 
for
 
at
 
least
 
certain
 
actively
 
used
 
GBP
 
LIBOR
 
tenors
 
to
 
facilitate
 
roll-off
 
of
 
relevant
contracts
 
that
 
cannot
 
be
 
actively
 
transitioned
 
by
 
end
 
2021.
Progress
 
made
 
during
 
2020
During
 
2020,
 
the
 
Group
 
has
 
successfully
 
delivered
 
Alternative
 
RFR
 
product
 
capabilities
 
and
 
alternatives
 
to
 
LIBOR
 
across
 
loans,
 
bonds
 
and
derivatives.
 
Good
 
progress
 
has
 
been
 
made
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
client
 
outreach
 
and
 
we
 
have
 
been
 
actively
 
engaging
 
with
 
customers
 
and
 
counterparties
to
 
transition
 
or
 
include
 
the
 
appropriate
 
fallback
 
provisions.
 
The
 
Group
 
has
 
in
 
place
 
detailed
 
plans,
 
processes
 
and
 
procedures
 
to
 
support
 
the
transition
 
of
 
the
 
remainder
 
during
 
2021.
 
Barclays
 
has
 
adhered
 
to
 
the
 
ISDA
 
IBOR
 
Fallbacks
 
Protocol
 
for
 
its
 
major
 
derivative
 
dealing
 
entities
 
and
we
 
continue
 
to
 
track
 
progress
 
and
 
engage
 
with
 
clients
 
on
 
their
 
own
 
adherence.
 
Following
 
the
 
progress
 
made
 
during
 
2020,
 
the
 
Group
 
continues
to
 
deliver
 
technology
 
and
 
business
 
process
 
changes
 
to
 
ensure
 
operational
 
readiness
 
in
 
preparation
 
for
 
LIBOR
 
cessation
 
and
 
transitions
 
to
RFRs
 
that
 
will
 
be
 
necessary
 
during
 
2021
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
official

expectations
 
and
 
milestones.

Programme
 
cuts
 
across
 
all
 
businesses
 
and
 
functions.
 
There
 
are
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
implementation
challenges
 
arising
 
from
 
transition,
 
including
 
technology,
 
operations,
 
client
 
communication
 
and
 
the
 
measurement
 
of
 
valuation,
 
giving
 
rise
 
to
additional
 
operational
 
risks.

Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
Counterparty
 
Credit
 
Risk:
 
LIBOR
 
replacement
 
presents
 
an
 
increased
 
risk
 
of
 
clients
 
wishing
 
to
 
renegotiate
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
existing
 
transactions.
This
 
is
 
dependent
 
on
 
client
 
behaviour
 
and
 
the
 
outcome
 
of
 
resulting
 
negotiations
 
and
 
could
 
change
 
the
 
credit
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
 
client
 
exposure.
 
Financial
 
Risk:
 
There
 
is
 
a
 
risk
 
to
 
Barclays
 
and
 
its
 
clients
 
that
 
markets
 
are
 
disrupted
 
due
 
to
 
IBOR
 
reform.
 
This
 
could
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
financial
losses
 
should
 
Barclays
 
be
 
unable
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
 
in
 
financial
 
markets.
Accounting
 
Risk:
 
This
 
would
 
occur
 
if
 
the
 
hedged
 
items
 
and
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
of
 
Barclays
 
hedging
 
relationships
 
were
 
to
 
transition
 
away
from
 
IBORs:
 
at
 
different
 
times;
 
to
 
different
 
benchmarks;
 
or
 
using
 
divergent
 
methodologies
 
resulting
 
in
 
significant
 
volatility
 
to
 
the
 
income
statement
 
either
 
through
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
ineffectiveness
 
or
 
failure
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
accounting
 
relationships.
A
 
disorderly
 
cessation
 
of
 
LIBOR
 
would
 
carry
 
substantial
 
economic,
 
legal,
 
regulatory,
 
reputational
 
and
 
operational
 
risks
 
for
 
Barclays
 
and
 
the
industry
 
in
 
general.
 
Barclays’
 
expectation
 
is
 
that
 
the
 
transition
 
away
 
from
 
LIBOR
 
will
 
be
 
carefully
 
managed
 
and
 
that
 
measures
 
including
 
the
broad
 
adoption
 
of
 
ISDA
 
IBOR
 
Fallbacks
 
Protocol,
 
the
 
approach
 
the
 
Central
 
Clearing
 
Counterparties
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
follow,
 
proactive
 
client
engagement,
 
regulatory
 
action
 
and/or
 
terminating
 
or
 
bilaterally
 
amending
 
contracts
 
where
 
clients
 
do
 
not
 
wish
 
to
 
adopt
 
new
 
conventions
 
(e.g.
ISDA
 
IBOR
 
Fallbacks
 
Protocol),
 
can
 
mitigate
 
the
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
a
 
disorderly
 
cessation.
The
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
expect
 
material
 
changes
 
to
 
its
 
risk
 
management
 
approach
 
and
 
strategy
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
interest
 
rate

£10,843m).
The
 
decrease
 
of
 
£660m
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
was
 
predominantly
 
driven
 
by
 
a
 
£2,573m
 
impairment
 
in
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
investment
 
of
 
Barclays
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
and
 
the
 
redemption
 
of
 
AT1
 
holdings
 
of
 
€1,000m,
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
capital
 
contributions
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
totaling
 
£1,500m
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
totaling
 
£220m,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
additional
 
AT1
 
holdings
 
of
 
$1,500m
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC.
At
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
each
 
reporting
 
period
 
an
 
impairment
 
review
 
is
 
undertaken
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
investment
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary
 
shares
 
of
 
subsidiaries.
Impairment
 
is
 
indicated
 
where
 
the
 
investment
 
exceeds
 
the
 
recoverable
 
amount.
 
The
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
is
 
calculated
 
as
 
a
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
(VIU)
which
 
is
 
derived
 
from
 
the
 
present
 
value
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
received
 
from
 
the
 
investment.
 
The
 
VIU
 
calculations
 
use
 
forecast
attributable
 
profit
 
based
 
on
 
financial
 
budgets
 
approved
 
by
 
management,
 
covering
 
a
 
five
 
year
 
period
 
as
 
an
 
approximation
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
flows
discounted
 
using
 
a
 
pre-tax
 
discount
 
rate
 
appropriate
 
to
 
the
 
subsidiary
 
being
 
tested.
 
A
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
has
 
then
 
been
 
applied
 
to
 
the
 
cash
flows
 
thereafter
 
which
 
is
 
based
 
upon
 
expectations
 
of
 
future
 
inflation
 
rates.
 
The
 
review
 
identified
 
an
 
impairment
 
in
 
the
 
investment
 
in
 
Barclays
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
(see
 
below).
 
For
 
the
 
other
 
investment
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
the
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
calculated
 
was
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
carrying
 
value.
Impairment
 
in
 
subsidiaries
Due
 
to
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
on
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
environment,
 
the
 
review
 
identified
 
impairment
 
of
 
the
 
investment
 
in
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
of
 
£2,573m,
 
reducing
 
its
 
carrying
 
value
 
to
 
£11,672
 
m.
 
The
 
VIU
 
calculation
 
uses
 
5-year
 
profit
 
before
 
tax
 
forecasts
 
based
on
 
the
 
formally
 
agreed
 
medium
 
term
 
plans
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
as
 
an
 
approximation
 
of
 
future
 
cash
 
flows.
 
The
 
Personal
 
Banking
 
cash
 
flows
specific
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
contained
 
in
 
the
 
calculation
 
have
 
been
 
extended
 
to
 
a
 
sixth
 
year
 
(prior
 
to
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
terminal
 
values)
 
to
reflect
 
an
 
observed
 
15bp
 
inflexion
 
point
 
in
 
the
 
yield
 
curve
 
which
 
was
 
beyond
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
the
 
medium
 
term
 
plan.
 
A
 
discount
 
rate
 
of
 
13.8%
 
(2019:
 
13.7%)
 
has
 
been
 
applied
 
to
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
forecast.
 
In
 
determining
 
the
 
discount
 
rate,
 
management
 
have
identified
 
a
 
cost
 
of
 
equity
 
associated
 
with
 
a
 
market
 
participant
 
that
 
closely
 
resemble
 
the
 
subsidiary
 
and
 
adjusted
 
for
 
tax
 
to
 
arrive
 
at
 
the
 
pre-tax
equivalent
 
rate.
 
A
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
of
 
2.0%
 
(2019:
 
1.6%)
 
has
 
been
 
used
 
to
 
calculate
 
a
 
terminal
 
value
 
for
 
the
 
investment.
In
 
prior
 
years
 
the
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
used
 
has
 
been
 
based
 
on
 
estimated
 
economic
 
growth
 
rates
 
(GDP).
 
Due
 
to
 
the
 
macroeconomic
 
uncertainties
 
management
now
 
consider
 
inflation
 
rates
 
to
 
provide
 
a
 
better
 
approximation
 
of
 
future
 
long
 
term
 
growth.
A
 
1%
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
discount
 
rate
 
or
 
terminal
 
growth
 
rate
 
would
 
increase
 
the
 
impairment
 
amount
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
by
 
£1,056m
 
and
 
£714m
respectively.
 
A
 
reduction
 
in
 
the
 
forecasted
 
cash
 
flows
 
by
 
10%
 
per
 
annum
 
would
 
increase
 
impairment
 
by
 
£1,061m.
 
Loans
 
and
 
advances
 
in
 
subsidiaries
During
 
the
 
year,
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
to
 
subsidiaries
 
decreased
 
by
 
£4,140m
 
to
 
£24,710m
 
(2019:
 
£28,850m).
 
The
 
decrease
 
was
 
driven
 
by
 
the
maturity
 
of
 
£1,200m
 
dated
 
subordinated
 
loans
 
and
 
waiving
 
£1,000m
 
of
 
dated
 
subordinated
 
loans
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC,

of
 
£1,100m
 
dated
 
subordinated

in

to

reduction
 
used
 
to
 
fund
 
a
 
capital

to
 
Barclays

This
 
was

use
 
their
 
cash
 
dividends
 
to
 
purchase
 
additional

shares
 
in
 
the
 
market,
 
rather
 
than
 
receive
 
a

payment,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
arranged
 
for
 
its

2020,
 
we
continued
 
the
 
tracing
 
process
 
to
 
reunite
 
these
 
shareholders
 
with
 
their
 
SNTU
 
monies
 
and
 
any
 
unclaimed
 
dividends
 
and
 
by
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
year,
we
 
had
 
returned
 
approximately
 
£26,978
 
to
 
our
 
shareholders,
 
(2019:
 
approximately
 
£23,000).
 
Since
 
2015,
 
we
 
have
 
returned
 
approximately
£4.2m
 
to
 
our
 
shareholders.
Donations
 
to
 
charity
We
 
launched
 
a
 
Share
 
Dealing
 
Service
 
in
 
October
 
2017
 
aimed
 
at
 
shareholders
 
with
 
relatively
 
small
 
shareholdings
 
for
 
whom
 
it
 
might
 
otherwise
 
be
uneconomical
 
to
 
deal.
 
One
 
option
 
open
 
to
 
shareholders
 
was
 
to
 
donate
 
their
 
sale
 
proceeds
 
to
 
ShareGift.
 
As
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
this
 
initiative,
 
the
 
total
donated
 
to
 
ShareGift
 
since
 
2015
 
is
 
over
 
£461,267.

Shareholders
 
should
 
be
 
wary
 
of
 
any
 
cold
 
calls
 
with
 
an
 
offer
 
to
 
buy
 
or
 
sell
 
shares.
 
Fraudsters
 
use
 
persuasive
 
and
 
high
 
pressure
 
techniques
 
to
lure
 
shareholders
 
into
 
high-risk
 
investments
 
or
 
scams.
 
You
 
should
 
treat
 
any
 
unsolicited
 
calls
 
with
 
caution.
 
Please
 
keep
 
in
 
mind
 
that
 
firms
 
authorised

Authority
 
(FCA)
 
are
 
unlikely
 
to
 
contact
 
you
 
out
 
of
 
the

You
 
should
consider
 
getting
 
independent
 
financial
 
or
 
professional
 
advice
 
from
 
someone
 
unconnected
 
to
 
the
 
respective
 
firm
 
before
 
you
 
hand
 
over
 
any
money.
 
Report
 
a

If

limited
 
company
 
registered
 
in
 
England
 
and
 
Wales
 
under
 
company
 
number
 
48839.
 
Barclays,
 
originally
named
 
Barclay
 
&
 
Company
 
Limited,
 
was
 
incorporated
 
in
 
England
 
and
 
Wales
 
on
 
20
 
July
 
1896
 
under
 
the
 
Companies
 
Acts
 
1862
 
to
 
1890
 
as
 
a
company
 
limited
 
by
 
shares.
 
The
 
company
 
name
 
was
 
changed
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Limited
 
on
 
17
 
February
 
1917
 
and
 
it
 
was
 
registered
 
on
 
15
February
 
1982
 
as
 
a
 
public
 
limited
 
company
 
under
 
the
 
Companies
 
Acts
 
1948
 
to
 
1980.
 
On
 
1
 
January
 
1985,
 
the
 
company
 
changed
 
its
 
name
 
to
Barclays
 
PLC.
 
Under
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006
 
a
 
company’s
 
Memorandum
 
of
 
Association
 
now
 
need
 
only
 
contain
 
the
 
names
 
of
 
the
 
subscribers
 
and
 
the
 
number
of
 
shares
 
each
 
subscriber
 
has
 
agreed
 
to
 
take.
 
For
 
companies
 
in
 
existence
 
as
 
of
 
1
 
October
 
2009,
 
all
 
other
 
provisions
 
which
 
were
 
contained
 
in
the
 
company’s
 
Memorandum
 
of
 
Association,
 
including
 
the
 
company’s
 
objects,
 
are
 
now
 
deemed
 
to
 
be
 
contained
 
in
 
the
 
company’s
 
articles.
 
The
Companies
 
Act
 
2006
 
also
 
states
 
that
 
a
 
company’s
 
objects
 
are
 
unrestricted
 
unless
 
the
 
company’s
 
articles
 
provide
 
otherwise.
The
 
Articles
 
of
 
Association
 
were
 
adopted
 
at
 
the
 
Company’s
 
Annual
 
General
 
Meeting
 
(“AGM”)
 
on
 
30
 
April
 
2010
 
and
 
amended
 
at
 
the
 
AGM
 
of
 
the
Company
 
on
 
25
 
April
 
2013.
 
The
 
following
 
is
 
a
 
summary
 
and
 
explanation
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
Articles
 
of
 
Association,
 
which
 
are
 
available
 
for
 
inspection.
Directors
 
(i)
 
The
 
minimum
 
number
 
of
 
Directors
 
(excluding
 
alternate
 
Directors)
 
is
 
five.
 
There
 
is
 
no
 
maximum
 
limit.
 
There
 
is
 
no
 
age
 
limit
 
for
 
Directors.
(ii)
 
Excluding
 
executive
 
remuneration
 
and
 
any
 
other
 
entitlement
 
to
 
remuneration
 
for
 
extra
 
services
 
(including
 
service
 
on
 
board
 
committees)
under
 
the
 
Articles,
 
a
 
Director
 
is
 
entitled
 
to
 
a
 
fee
 
at
 
a
 
rate
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
but
 
the
 
aggregate
 
fees
 
paid
 
to
 
all
 
Directors
 
shall
 
not
 
exceed
£2,000,000
 
per
 
annum
 
or
 
such
 
higher
 
amount
 
as
 
may
 
be
 
approved
 
by
 
an
 
ordinary
 
resolution
 
of
 
the
 
Company.
 
Each
 
Director
 
is
 
entitled
 
to
reimbursement
 
for
 
all
 
reasonable
 
travelling,
 
hotel
 
and
 
other
 
expenses
 
properly
 
incurred
 
by
 
him/her
 
in
 
or
 
about
 
the
 
performance
 
of
 
his/her
 
duties.
(iii)
 
No
 
Director
 
may
 
act
 
(either
 
himself/herself
 
or
 
through
 
his/her
 
firm)
 
as
 
an
 
auditor
 
of
 
the
 
Company.
 
A
 
Director
 
may
 
hold
 
any
 
other
 
office
 
of
 
the
Company
 
on
 
such
 
terms
 
as
 
the
 
Board
 
shall
 
determine.
 
(iv)
 
At
 
each
 
AGM
 
of
 
the
 
Company,
 
one
 
third
 
of
 
the
 
Directors
 
(rounded
 
down)
 
are
 
required
 
under
 
the
 
Articles
 
of
 
Association
 
to
 
retire
 
from
 
office
by
 
rotation
 
and
 
may
 
offer
 
themselves
 
for
 
re-election.
 
The
 
Directors
 
so
 
retiring
 
are
 
first,
 
those
 
who
 
wish
 
to
 
retire
 
and
 
not
 
offer
 
themselves
 
for
 
re-
election,
 
and,
 
second
 
those
 
who
 
have
 
been
 
longest
 
in
 
office
 
(and
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
equality
 
of
 
service
 
length
 
are
 
selected
 
by
 
lot).
 
Other
 
than
 
a
retiring
 
Director,
 
no
 
person
 
shall
 
(unless
 
recommended
 
by
 
the
 
Board)
 
be
 
eligible
 
for
 
election
 
unless
 
a
 
member
 
notifies
 
the
 
Company
 
Secretary
in
 
advance
 
of
 
his/her
 
intention
 
to
 
propose
 
a
 
person
 
for
 
election.
 
It
 
is
 
Barclays’
 
practice
 
that
 
all
 
Directors
 
offer
 
themselves
 
for
 
re-election
 
annually
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
UK
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Code.
(v)
 
The
 
Board
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
appoint
 
additional
 
Directors
 
or
 
to
 
fill
 
a
 
casual
 
vacancy
 
amongst
 
the
 
Directors.
 
Any
 
Director
 
so
 
appointed
 
holds
office
 
until
 
the
 
next
 
AGM,
 
when
 
he/she
 
may
 
offer
 
himself/herself
 
for
 
reappointment.
 
He/she
 
is
 
not
 
taken
 
into
 
account
 
in
 
determining
 
the
 
number
of
 
Directors
 
retiring
 
by
 
rotation.
(vi)The
 
Board
 
may
 
appoint
 
any
 
Director
 
to
 
any
 
executive
 
position
 
or
 
employment
 
in
 
the
 
Company
 
on
 
such
 
terms
 
as
 
they
 
determine.
 
(vii)The
 
Company
 
may
 
by
 
ordinary
 
resolution
 
remove
 
a
 
Director
 
before
 
the
 
expiry
 
of
 
his/her
 
period
 
of
 
office
 
(without
 
prejudice
 
to
 
a
 
claim
 
for
damages
 
for
 
breach
 
of
 
contract
 
or
 
otherwise)
 
and
 
may
 
by
 
ordinary
 
resolution
 
appoint
 
another
 
person
 
who
 
is
 
willing
 
to
 
act
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
Director
 
in
his/her
 
place.
 
(viii)
 
A
 
Director
 
may
 
appoint
 
either
 
another
 
Director
 
or
 
some
 
other
 
person
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
act
 
as
 
his/her
 
alternate
 
with
 
power
 
to
 
attend
Board
 
meetings
 
and
 
generally
 
to
 
exercise
 
the
 
functions
 
of
 
the
 
appointing
 
Director
 
in
 
his/her
 
absence
 
(other
 
than
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
appoint
 
an
alternate).
(ix)
 
The
 
Board
 
may
 
authorise
 
any
 
matter
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
which
 
a
 
Director
 
has,
 
or
 
can
 
have,
 
a
 
direct
 
interest
 
that
 
conflicts,
 
or
 
possibly
 
may
 
conflict
with,
 
the
 
Company’s
 
interests.
 
Only
 
Directors
 
who
 
have
 
no
 
interest
 
in
 
the
 
matter
 
being
 
considered
 
will
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
authorise
 
the
 
relevant
 
matter
and
 
they
 
may
 
impose
 
limits
 
or
 
conditions
 
when
 
giving
 
authorisation
 
if
 
they
 
think
 
this
 
is
 
appropriate.
(x)
 
A
 
Director
 
may
 
hold
 
positions
 
with
 
or
 
be
 
interested
 
in
 
other
 
companies
 
and,
 
subject
 
to
 
legislation
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
 
Company
 
and
 
the
 
FCA’s
requirements,
 
may
 
contract
 
with
 
the
 
Company
 
or
 
any
 
other
 
company
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Company
 
is
 
interested.
 
A
 
Director
 
may
 
not
 
vote
 
or
 
count
towards
 
the
 
quorum
 
on
 
any
 
resolution
 
concerning
 
any
 
proposal
 
in
 
which
 
he/she
 
(or
 
any
 
person
 
connected
 
with
 
him/her)
 
has
 
a
 
material
 
interest
(other
 
than
 
by
 
virtue
 
of
 
his/her
 
interest
 
in
 
securities
 
of
 
the
 
Company)
 
or
 
if
 
he/she
 
has
 
a
 
duty
 
which
 
conflicts
 
or
 
may
 
conflict
 
with
 
the
 
interests
 
of
the
 
Company,
 
unless
 
the
 
resolution
 
relates
 
to
 
any
 
proposal:
(a)
 
to
 
indemnify
 
a
 
Director
 
or
 
provide
 
him/her
 
with
 
a
 
guarantee
 
or
 
security
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
money
 
lent
 
by
 
him/her
 
to,
 
or
 
any
 
obligation
 
incurred
 
by
him/her
 
or
 
any
 
other
 
person
 
for
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
(or

the
 
request
 
of),
 
the
 
Company
 
(or
 
any

(b)

to
 
a

party

of

for
 
which
 
the
 
Director
 
has

assumed

with
 
the
 
authority
 
granted
 
at
 
the
 
AGM
 
on
 
25
 
April
 
2013,
Preference

may
 
be

by
 
the

from
 
time
 
to

in

Dividends
Subject
 
to
 
the
 
provisions
 
of
 
the
 
Articles
 
and
 
applicable
 
legislation,
 
the
 
Company
 
in
 
general
 
meeting
 
may
 
declare
 
dividends
 
on
 
the
 
Ordinary
Shares
 
by
 
ordinary
 
resolution,
 
but
 
any
 
such
 
dividend
 
may
 
not
 
exceed
 
the
 
amount
 
recommended
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
 
The
 
Board
 
may
 
also
 
pay
 
interim
or
 
final
 
dividends
 
if
 
it
 
appears
 
they
 
are
 
justified
 
by
 
the
 
Company’s
 
financial
 
position.
 
Each
 
Preference
 
Share
 
confers
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
a
 
preferential
 
dividend
 
(“Preference
 
Dividend”)
 
payable
 
in
 
such
 
currency
 
at
 
such
 
rates
 
(whether
 
fixed
or
 
calculated
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
or
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
a
 
specified
 
procedure
 
or
 
mechanism),
 
on
 
such
 
dates
 
and
 
on
 
such
 
other
 
terms
 
as
 
may
 
be
determined
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
prior
 
to
 
allotment
 
thereof.
The
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
rank
 
in
 
regard
 
to
 
payment
 
of
 
dividends
 
in
 
priority
 
to
 
the
 
holders
 
of
 
Ordinary
 
Shares
 
and
 
any
 
other
 
class
 
of
 
shares
 
in
 
the
Company
 
ranking
 
junior
 
to
 
the
 
Preference
 
Shares.
 
Dividends
 
may
 
be
 
paid
 
on
 
the
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
if,
 
in
 
the
 
opinion
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
sufficient
 
distributable
 
profits,
 
after
 
payment
in
 
full
 
or
 
the
 
setting
 
aside
 
of
 
a
 
sum
 
to
 
provide
 
for
 
all
 
dividends
 
payable
 
on
 
(or
 
in
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
shares
 
carrying
 
a
 
cumulative
 
right
 
to
 
dividends,
before)
 
the

dividend
 
payment
 
date
 
on
 
any

of

in
 
the
 
Company
 
ranking
 
pari
 
passu
 
with
 
or
 
in
 
priority
 
to
 
the
 
relevant
 
series
 
of
Preference
 
Shares
 
as
 
regards
 
participation
 
in
 
the
 
profits
 
of
 
the
 
Company.
 
If
 
the
 
Board
 
considers
 
that
 
the
 
distributable
 
profits
 
of
 
the
 
Company
 
available
 
for
 
distribution
 
are
 
insufficient
 
to
 
cover
 
the
 
payment
 
in
 
full
 
of
Preference
 
Dividends,
 
Preference
 
Dividends
 
shall
 
be
 
paid
 
to
 
the
 
extent
 
of
 
the
 
distributable
 
profits
 
on
 
a
 
pro
 
rata
 
basis.
Notwithstanding
 
the
 
above,
 
the
 
Board
 
may,
 
at
 
its
 
absolute
 
discretion,
 
determine
 
that
 
any
 
Preference
 
Dividend
 
which
 
would
 
otherwise
 
be
 
payable
may
 
either
 
not
 
be
 
payable
 
at
 
all
 
or
 
only
 
payable
 
in
 
part.
If
 
any
 
Preference
 
Dividend
 
on
 
a
 
series
 
of
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
is
 
not
 
paid,
 
or
 
is
 
only
 
paid
 
in
 
part,
 
for
 
the
 
reasons
 
described
 
above,
 
holders
 
of
Preference
 
Shares
 
will
 
not
 
have
 
a
 
claim
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
such
 
non-payment.
 
If
 
any
 
dividend
 
on
 
a
 
series
 
of
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
is
 
not
 
paid
 
in
 
full
 
on
 
the
 
relevant
 
dividend
 
payment
 
date,
 
a
 
dividend
 
restriction
 
shall
 
apply.
 
The
dividend
 
restriction
 
means
 
that,
 
subject
 
to
 
certain
 
exceptions,
 
neither
 
the
 
Company
 
nor
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
may
 
(a)
 
pay
 
a
 
dividend
 
on,
 
or
 
(b)
 
redeem,
purchase,
 
reduce
 
or
 
otherwise
 
acquire,
 
any
 
of
 
their
 
respective
 
ordinary
 
shares,
 
other
 
preference
 
shares
 
or
 
other
 
share
 
capital
 
ranking
 
equal
 
or
junior
 
to
 
the
 
relevant
 
series
 
of
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
until
 
the
 
earlier
 
of
 
such
 
time
 
as
 
the
 
Company
 
next
 
pays
 
in
 
full
 
a
 
dividend
 
on
 
the
 
relevant
 
series
of
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
or
 
the
 
date
 
on
 
which
 
all
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
series
 
of
 
Preference
 
Shares
 
are
 
redeemed.
All
 
unclaimed
 
dividends
 
payable
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
any
 
share
 
may
 
be
 
invested
 
or
 
otherwise
 
made
 
use
 
of
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
for
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
the
 
Company
until
 
claimed.
 
If
 
a
 
dividend
 
is
 
not
 
claimed
 
after
 
12
 
years
 
of
 
it
 
becoming
 
payable,
 
it
 
is
 
forfeited
 
and
 
reverts
 
to
 
the
 
Company.
The
 
Board
 
may,
 
with
 
the
 
approval
 
of
 
an
 
ordinary
 
resolution
 
of
 
the
 
Company,
 
offer
 
Shareholders
 
the
 
right
 
to
 
choose
 
to
 
receive
 
an
 
allotment
 
of
additional
 
fully

instead
 
of

in
 
respect
 
of

of
 
any

and
 
Purchase
Subject
 
to
 
applicable

the
 
rights
 
of
 
the
 
other

any

that
 
it

at
 
the

of
 
such

A
 
person
 
upon
 
whom
 
a

Annual
 
and
 
other
 
general

The
 
Company
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
hold
 
an
 
AGM
 
in
 
addition
 
to
 
such
 
other
 
general
 
meetings
 
as
 
the
 
Directors
 
think
 
fit.
 
The
 
type
 
of
 
the
 
meeting
 
will
 
be
specified
 
in
 
the
 
notice
 
calling
 
it.
 
Under
 
the
 
Companies
 
Act
 
2006,
 
the
 
AGM
 
must
 
be
 
held
 
within
 
six
 
months
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
year
 
end.
 
A
 
general
meeting
 
may
 
be
 
convened
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
requisition
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
applicable
 
legislation.
In
 
the
 
case
 
of
 
an
 
AGM,
 
a
 
minimum
 
of
 
21
 
clear
 
days’
 
notice
 
is
 
required.
 
The
 
notice
 
must
 
be
 
in

and
 
must
 
specify
 
the
 
place,
 
the
 
day
 
and
 
the
hour
 
of
 
the
 
meeting,
 
and
 
the
 
general
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
to
 
be
 
transacted.
 
A
 
notice
 
convening
 
a
 
meeting
 
to
 
pass
 
a
 
special
 
resolution
 
shall
specify
 
the
 
intention
 
to
 
propose
 
the
 
resolution
 
as
 
such.
 
The
 
accidental
 
failure
 
to
 
give
 
notice
 
of
 
a
 
general
 
meeting
 
or
 
the
 
non-receipt
 
of
 
such

will
 
not
 
invalidate
 
the

at
 
such
 
meeting.
Subject
 
as
 
noted
 
above,
 
all
 
Shareholders
 
are
 
entitled
 
to
 
attend
 
and
 
vote
 
at
 
general
 
meetings.
 
The

do,
 
however,
 
provide
 
that
arrangements
 
may
 
be
 
made
 
for
 
simultaneous
 
attendance
 
at
 
a
 
satellite
 
meeting
 
place
 
or,
 
if
 
the
 
meeting
 
place
 
is
 
inadequate
 
to
 
accommodate
 
all
members
 
and
 
proxies
 
entitled
 
to
 
attend,
 
another
 
meeting
 
place
 
may
 
be
 
arranged
 
to
 
accommodate
 
such
 
persons
 
other
 
than
 
that
 
specified
 
in
 
the

Taxation
 
of
 
UK
 
holders
The
 
following
 
is
 
a
 
summary
 
of
 
certain
 
UK
 
tax
 
issues
 
which
 
are
 
likely
 
to
 
be
 
material
 
to
 
the
 
holding
 
and
 
disposal
 
of
 
Ordinary
 
Shares
 
of
 
Barclays
PLC
 
or
 
ADSs
 
representing
 
such
 
Ordinary
 
Shares
 
(the
 
‘Shares’).
It
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
current
 
laws
 
of
 
England
 
and
 
Wales,
 
UK
 
tax
 
law
 
and
 
the
 
practice
 
of
 
Her
 
Majesty’s
 
Revenue
 
and
 
Customs
 
(‘HMRC’),
 
each
 
of
which
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
change,
 
possibly
 
with
 
retrospective
 
effect.
 
It
 
is
 
a
 
general
 
guide
 
for
 
information
 
purposes
 
and
 
should
 
be
 
treated
 
with
appropriate
 
caution.
 
It

that

relevant
 
to
 
a

holder
 
or
 
disposer
 
of

In
 
particular,
 
save
 
where
 
expressly
 
stated
 
to
 
the
 
contrary,
 
this

(i)
 
Taxation
 
of
 
dividends
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
UK
 
law,
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
pays
 
dividends
 
on
 
the
 
Shares
 
without
 
any
 
deduction
 
or
 
withholding
 
for
 
or
 
on
 
account
 
of
 
any
 
taxes
imposed
 
by
 
the
 
UK
 
government
 
or
 
any
 
UK
 
taxing
 
authority.
The
 
total
 
dividends
 
(including
 
any
 
dividends
 
paid
 
by
 
Barclays
 
PLC)
 
paid
 
to
 
a
 
UK
 
resident
 
individual
 
shareholder
 
in
 
a
 
tax
 
year
 
(the
 
‘Total
 
Dividend
Income’)
 
will
 
generally
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
that
 
shareholder’s
 
total
 
income
 
for
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
purposes,
 
and
 
will
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
at
 
the
 
rates
discussed
 
below.
For
 
dividends
 
paid
 
on
 
or
 
after
 
6
 
April
 
2016,
 
the
 
rate
 
of
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
applicable
 
to
 
the
 
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
will
 
depend
 
on
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
and
 
the
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
band(s)
 
that
 
the
 
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
falls
 
within
 
when
 
included
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
shareholder’s
total
 
income
 
for
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
purposes
 
for
 
that
 
tax
 
year.
For
 
the
 
tax
 
year
 
from
 
6
 
April
 
2020
 
to
 
5
 
April
 
2021
 
(inclusive),
 
a
 
nil
 
rate
 
of
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
applies
 
to
 
the
 
first
 
£2,000
 
of
 
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
received
 
by
 
an
 
individual
 
shareholder
 
in
 
that
 
tax
 
year
 
(the
 
‘Nil
 
Rate
 
Amount’).
 
For
 
the

Subject
 
to
 
special
 
rules
 
for
 
small
 
companies,
 
UK
 
resident
 
shareholders
 
within
 
the
 
charge
 
to

will
 
not
 
generally

to
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
on
 
the

paid
 
on

provided
 
the

conditions
 
are
 
met.
(ii)
 
Taxation
 
of
 
shares
 
under
 
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-Investment
 
Plan
Where
 
a
 
shareholder
 
elects
 
to
 
purchase
 
Shares
 
using
 
their
 
cash
 
dividend
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-Investment
 
Plan,
 
such
 
shareholder
 
will
generally
 
be
 
liable
 
for
 
UK
 
tax
 
on
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
dividend
 
as
 
described
 
in
 
(i)
 
Taxation
 
of
 
dividends
 
above,
 
in
 
the
 
same
 
way
 
as
 
the
 
shareholder
would
 
have
 
been
 
on
 
the
 
receipt
 
of
 
a
 
cash
 
dividend.
 
For
 
capital
 
gains
 
purposes,
 
the
 
base
 
cost
 
of
 
Shares
 
purchased
 
under
 
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-
Investment
 
Plan
 
will
 
be
 
the
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
cash
 
dividend
 
used
 
to
 
purchase
 
such
 
Shares.
(iii)
 
Taxation
 
of
 
capital
 
gains
The
 
disposal
 
of
 
Shares
 
(including,
 
for
 
the
 
avoidance
 
of
 
doubt,
 
any
 
shares
 
purchased
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-Investment
 
Plan
 
or
 
previously
purchased
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Scrip
 
Dividend
 
Programme)
 
may,
 
depending
 
on
 
the
 
shareholder’s
 
circumstances,
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
a
 
liability
 
to
 
UK
 
tax
 
on
chargeable
 
capital
 
gains.
Where
 
Shares
 
are
 
sold,
 
a
 
liability
 
to
 
UK
 
tax
 
may
 
result
 
if
 
the
 
proceeds
 
from
 
that
 
sale
 
exceed
 
the
 
sum
 
of
 
the
 
base
 
cost
 
of
 
the
 
Shares
 
sold
 
and
any
 
other
 
allowable
 
deductions
 
such
 
as
 
share
 
dealing
 
costs
 
and,
 
in
 
certain
 
circumstances,
 
indexation
 
relief
 
(discussed
 
further
 
below).
 
To
 
arrive
at
 
the
 
total
 
base
 
cost
 
of
 
any
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
shares
 
held,
 
in
 
appropriate
 
cases
 
the
 
amount
 
subscribed
 
for
 
rights
 
taken
 
up
 
in
 
1985,
 
1988
 
and
 
2013
must
 
be
 
added
 
to
 
the
 
cost
 
of
 
all
 
such
 
shares
 
held.
 
For
 
this
 
purpose,
 
current
 
legislation
 
permits
 
the
 
market
 
valuation
 
at
 
31
 
March
 
1982
 
to
 
be
substituted
 
for
 
the
 
original
 
cost
 
of
 
shares
 
purchased
 
before
 
that
 
date,
 
subject
 
to
 
certain
 
exceptions
 
for
 
shareholders
 
within
 
the
 
charge
 
to
 
UK
corporation
 
tax.
 
Shareholders
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
within
 
the
 
charge
 
to
 
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
should
 
note
 
that,
 
following
 
the
 
Finance
 
Act
 
2008,
 
no
indexation
 
allowance
 
will
 
be
 
available.
 
Following
 
the
 
Finance
 
Act
 
2018,
 
shareholders
 
within
 
the
 
charge
 
to
 
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
may
 
be
 
eligible
 
for
indexation
 
allowance
 
for
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
ownership
 
of
 
their
 
Shares
 
up
 
to
 
December
 
2017,
 
but
 
no
 
indexation
 
allowance
 
will
 
be
 
available
 
in
 
respect
of
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
ownership
 
starting
 
on
 
or
 
after
 
1
 
January
 
2018.
Chargeable
 
capital
 
gains
 
may
 
also
 
arise
 
from
 
the
 
gifting
 
of
 
Shares
 
to
 
connected
 
parties
 
such
 
as
 
relatives
 
(although
 
not
 
spouses
 
or
 
civil
 
partners)
and
 
family
 
trusts.
The
 
calculations
 
required
 
to
 
compute
 
chargeable
 
capital
 
gains
 
may
 
be
 
complex.
 
Shareholders
 
are
 
advised
 
to
 
consult
 
their
 
personal
 
financial
adviser
 
if
 
further
 
information
 
regarding
 
a
 
possible
 
tax
 
liability
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
their
 
holdings
 
of
 
shares
 
is
 
required.
(iv)
 
Stamp

duty
 
reserve
 
tax
Dealings
 
in
 
Shares
 
(including,
 
for
 
the
 
avoidance
 
of
 
doubt,
 
any
 
Shares
 
purchased
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-Investment
 
Plan
 
or
 
previously
purchased
 
as

will
 
generally
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
UK
 
stamp

or
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
(although
 
see
 
the

the

‘Taxation
 
of
 
US

stamp
 
duty
 
and

duty
 
reserve
 
tax’).
 
Any
 
document
 
effecting
the
 
transfer
 
on
 
sale
 
of
 
Shares
 
will
 
generally
 
be
 
liable
 
to
 
stamp
 
duty
 
at
 
0.5%
 
of
 
the
 
consideration
 
paid
 
for
 
that
 
transfer
 
(rounded
 
up
 
to
 
the
 
next
£5).
 
An
 
unconditional
 
agreement
 
to
 
transfer
 
Shares,
 
or
 
any
 
interest
 
therein,
 
will
 
generally
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
at
 
0.5%
 
of
 
the
consideration
 
given.
 
Such
 
liability
 
to
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
will
 
be
 
cancelled,
 
or
 
a
 
right
 
to
 
a
 
repayment
 
(generally
 
with
 
interest)
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
liability
 
will
 
arise,
 
if
 
the
 
agreement
 
is
 
completed
 
by
 
a
 
duly
 
stamped
 
transfer
 
within
 
six
 
years
 
of
 
the
 
agreement
 
having
become
 
unconditional.
 
Both
 
stamp
 
duty
 
and
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
are
 
normally
 
the
 
liability
 
of
 
the
 
transferee.
Paperless
 
transfers
 
of
 
Shares
 
within
 
CREST
 
are
 
liable
 
to
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
rather
 
than
 
stamp
 
duty.
Stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
on
 
transactions
 
settled
 
within
 
the
 
CREST
 
system
 
or
 
reported
 
through
 
it
 
for
 
regulatory
 
purposes
 
will
 
be
 
collected
 
by
CREST.
Special
 
rules
 
apply
 
to
 
certain
 
categories
 
of
 
person,
 
including

market
 
makers,
 
brokers,
 
dealers
 
and
 
persons
 
connected
 
with
depositary
 
arrangements
 
and
 
clearance
 
services.
(v)
 
Inheritance
 
tax
An
 
individual
 
may
 
be
 
liable
 
to
 
inheritance
 
tax
 
on
 
the
 
transfer
 
of
 
Shares
 
(including,
 
for
 
the
 
avoidance
 
of
 
doubt,
 
any
 
Shares
 
purchased
 
as
 
part
 
of
the
 
Dividend
 
Re-Investment
 
Plan
 
or
 
previously
 
purchased
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
Scrip
 
Dividend
 
Programme).
 
Where
 
an
 
individual
 
is
 
so
 
liable,
inheritance
 
tax
 
may
 
be
 
charged
 
on
 
the
 
amount
 
by
 
which
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
his
 
or
 
her
 
estate
 
is
 
reduced
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
any
 
transfer
 
by

gratuitous
 
transaction
 
made
 
by

Taxation
 
of
 
passive
 
foreign
 
investment
 
companies
 
(PFICs)
Barclays
 
PLC
 
believes
 
that
 
its
 
Shares
 
should
 
not
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
stock
 
of
 
a
 
passive
 
foreign
 
investment
 
company
 
(“PFIC”)
 
for
 
US
 
federal
 
income
tax
 
purposes,
 
but
 
this
 
conclusion
 
is
 
a
 
factual
 
determination
 
that
 
is
 
made
 
annually
 
and
 
thus
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
change.
 
In
 
general,
 
Barclays
 
PLC
will
 
be
 
a
 
PFIC
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
a
 
US
 
Holder
 
if,
 
for
 
any
 
taxable
 
year
 
in
 
which
 
a
 
US
 
Holder
 
holds
 
the
 
Shares,
 
either
 
(i)
 
at
 
least
 
75%
 
of
 
the
 
gross
income
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
for
 
the
 
taxable
 
year
 
is
 
passive
 
income,
 
or
 
(ii)
 
at
 
least
 
50%
 
of
 
the
 
value,
 
determined
 
on
 
the
 
basis
 
of
 
a
 
quarterly
 
average,
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC’s
 
assets
 
is
 
attributable
 
to
 
assets
 
that
 
produce
 
or
 
are
 
held
 
for
 
the
 
production
 
of
 
passive
 
income
 
(including
 
cash).
 
With
 
certain
exceptions,
 
a
 
US
 
Holder’s
 
Shares
 
will
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
stock
 
of
 
a
 
PFIC
 
if
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
was
 
a
 
PFIC
 
at
 
any
 
time
 
during
 
such
 
holder’s
 
holding
 
period
in
 
its

If
 
Barclays

were
 
to
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
a

with
 
respect
 
to
 
a
 
US
 
Holder,
 
unless
 
such
 
US
 
Holder
 
elected
 
to
 
be
 
taxed
 
annually
 
on
 
a
 
mark-to-
market
 
basis
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
its
 
Shares,
 
such
 
gain
 
and
 
certain
 
“excess
 
distributions”
 
would
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
having
 
been
 
realised
 
ratably
 
over
 
a
 
US
Holder’s
 
holding
 
period
 
for
 
the
 
Shares
 
and
 
generally
 
would
 
be
 
taxed
 
at
 
the
 
highest
 
tax
 
rate
 
in
 
effect
 
for
 
each
 
such
 
year
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
gain
 
was
allocated,
 
together
 
with
 
an
 
interest
 
charge
 
in

of
 
the

attributable
 
to
 
each

FATCA
 
Risk
 
Factor
In
 
certain
 
circumstances,
 
payments
 
on
 
shares
 
or
 
ADSs
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
US
 
withholding
 
taxes
 
on
 
“passthru
 
payments,”
 
starting
 
on
 
the
 
date
that
 
is
 
two
 
years
 
after
 
the
 
date
 
on
 
which
 
final
 
regulations
 
defining
 
this
 
concept
 
are
 
adopted
 
in
 
the
 
United
 
States.
 
Under
 
the
 
“Foreign
 
Account
 
Tax
Compliance
 
Act”
 
(or
 
“FATCA”),
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
intergovernmental
 
agreements
 
between
 
the
 
United
 
States
 
and
 
other
 
countries
 
and
 
implementing
 
laws
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
foregoing,
 
certain
 
US-source
 
payments
 
(including
 
dividends
 
and
 
interest)
 
and
 
certain
 
payments
 
made
 
by,
 
and
 
financial
accounts
 
held
 
with,
 
entities
 
that
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
financial
 
institutions
 
under
 
FATCA
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
special
 
information
 
reporting
 
and
withholding
 
tax
 
regime.
 
Regulations
 
implementing
 
withholding
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
“passthru
 
payments”
 
under
 
FATCA
 
have
 
not
 
yet
 
been
 
adopted
 
or
proposed.
 
The
 
United
 
States
 
has
 
entered
 
into
 
an
 
intergovernmental
 
agreement
 
regarding
 
the
 
implementation
 
of
 
FATCA
 
with
 
the
 
UK
 
(the
 
“UK
IGA”).
 
Under
 
the
 
UK
 
IGA,
 
as
 
currently
 
drafted,
 
it
 
is
 
not
 
expected
 
that
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
will
 
be
 
required
 
to
 
withhold
 
tax
 
under
 
FATCA
 
on
 
payments
made
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
shares
 
or
 
ADSs.
 
However,
 
significant
 
aspects
 
of
 
when
 
and
 
how
 
FATCA
 
will
 
apply
 
remain
 
unclear,
 
and
 
no
 
assurance
can
 
be
 
given
 
that
 
withholding
 
under
 
FATCA
 
will
 
not
 
become
 
relevant
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
payments
 
made
 
on
 
or
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
shares
 
or
 
ADSs
 
in
the
 
future.
 
Investors
 
should
 
consult
 
their
 
own
 
tax
 
advisers
 
regarding
 
the
 
potential
 
impact
 
of
 
FATCA.

Statement
As
 
our
 
main
 
listing
 
is
 
on
 
the
 
London
 
Stock
 
Exchange,
 
we
 
follow
 
the
 
UK
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Code.
 
However,
 
as
 
Barclays
 
also
 
has
 
American
Depositary
 
Receipts
 
listed
 
on
 
the
 
New
 
York
 
Stock
 
Exchange
 
(NYSE),
 
we
 
are
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
NYSE’s
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Rules
 
(NYSE
Rules).
 
We
 
are
 
exempt
 
from
 
most
 
of
 
the
 
NYSE
 
Rules,
 
which
 
US
 
domestic
 
companies
 
must
 
follow,
 
because
 
we
 
are
 
a
 
non-US
 
company
 
listed
 
on
the
 
NYSE.
 
However,
 
we
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
provide
 
an
 
Annual
 
Written
 
Affirmation
 
to
 
the
 
NYSE
 
of
 
our
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
applicable
 
NYSE
 
Rules
and
 
must
 
also
 
disclose
 
any
 
significant
 
differences
 
between
 
our
 
corporate
 
governance
 
practices
 
and
 
those
 
followed
 
by
 
domestic
 
US
 
companies
listed
 
on
 
the
 
NYSE.
 
Key
 
differences
 
between
 
the
 
Code
 
and
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
are
 
set
 
out
 
here:
Director
 
Independence
NYSE
 
Rules
 
require
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
to
 
be
 
independent.
 
The
 
Code
 
requires
 
at
 
least
 
half
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
(excluding
 
the
 
Chairman)
 
to
 
be
independent.
 
The
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
contain
 
different
 
tests
 
from
 
the
 
Code
 
for
 
determining
 
whether
 
a
 
Director
 
is
 
independent.
 
We
 
follow
 
the
 
Code’s
recommendations
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
developing
 
best
 
practices
 
among
 
other
 
UK
 
public
 
companies.
 
The
 
independence
 
of
 
our
 
non-executive
 
Directors
 
is
reviewed
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
an
 
annual
 
basis
 
and
 
it
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
guidance
 
in
 
the
 
Code
 
and
 
the
 
criteria
 
we
 
have
 
established
 
for
determining
 
independence,
 
which
 
are
 
described
 
in
 
the
 
Directors’
 
Report.
Board
 
Committees
We
 
have
 
a
 
Board
 
Nominations
 
Committee
 
and
 
a
 
Board
 
Remuneration
 
Committee,
 
both
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
broadly
 
similar
 
in
 
purpose
 
and
 
constitution
to
 
the
 
Committees
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
and
 
whose
 
terms
 
of
 
reference
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
Code’s
 
requirements.
 
The
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
state
 
that
both
 
Committees
 
must
 
be
 
composed
 
entirely
 
of
 
independent
 
Directors.
 
As
 
the
 
Group
 
Chairman
 
was
 
independent
 
on
 
appointment,
 
the
 
Code
permits
 
him
 
to
 
chair
 
the
 
Board
 
Nominations
 
Committee.
 
Except
 
for
 
this
 
appointment,
 
both
 
Committees
 
are
 
composed
 
solely
 
of
 
non-executive
Directors,
 
whom
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
determined
 
to
 
be
 
independent.
 
We
 
comply
 
with
 
the
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
requirement
 
that
 
we
 
have
 
a
 
Board
 
Audit
Committee
 
comprised
 
solely
 
of
 
independent
 
non-executive
 
Directors
 
as
 
defined
 
under
 
Rule
 
10A-3.
 
However,
 
we
 
follow
 
the
 
Code
recommendations,
 
rather
 
than
 
the
 
NYSE
 
Rules,
 
regarding
 
the
 
responsibilities
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
(except
 
for
 
applicable
 
mandatory
responsibilities
 
under
 
the
 
Sarbanes-Oxley
 
Act)
 
,
 
although
 
both
 
are
 
broadly
 
comparable.
 
Although
 
the
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
state
 
that
 
the
 
Board
 
Audit
Committee
 
is
 
to
 
take
 
responsibility
 
for
 
risk
 
oversight,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
an
 
additional
 
Board
 
Committee
 
which
 
addresses
 
different
 
areas
 
of
 
risk
management.
 
To
 
enhance
 
Board
 
governance
 
of
 
risk,
 
Barclays
 
has
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee.
 
A
 
full
 
description
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee
can
 
be
 
found
 
in
 
the
 
Directors’
 
Report.
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Guidelines
The
 
NYSE
 
Rules
 
require
 
domestic
 
US
 
companies
 
to
 
adopt
 
and
 
disclose
 
corporate
 
governance
 
guidelines.
 
There
 
is
 
no
 
equivalent
recommendation
 
in
 
the
 
Code
 
but
 
the
 
Board
 
Nominations
 
Committee
 
has
 
developed
 
corporate
 
governance
 
guidelines,
 
‘Corporate
 
Governance
 
in
Barclays’,
 
which
 
have
 
been
 
approved
 
and
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Board.
Code

we
 
note
 
the

Except
 
as

Barclays
 
does
 
not

level
 
of
 
these
 
activities,
 
which
 
in

would
 
not
 
be

and
 
we
therefore
 
report
 
only
 
gross
 
revenue
 
where
 
measurable.
 
Barclays
 
attributed
 
revenue
 
of
 
approximately
 
GBP
 
425
 
in
 
2020
 
in
 
relation
 
to

activities
 
disclosed
 
below.
Legacy
 
Guarantees
Between
 
1993
 
and
 
2006,
 
Barclays
 
entered
 
into
 
several
 
guarantees
 
for
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
Iranian
 
banks
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
the
 
supply
 
of
 
goods
 
and
services
 
by
 
Barclays
 
customers
 
to
 
Iranian
 
buyers.
 
These
 
were
 
counter
 
guarantees
 
issued
 
to
 
Iranian
 
banks
 
to
 
support
 
guarantees
 
issued
 
by
these
 
banks
 
to
 
the
 
Iranian
 
buyers.
 
The
 
Iranian
 
banks
 
and
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
Iranian
 
buyers
 
were
 
subsequently
 
designated
 
as
 
Specially
Designated
 
Nationals
 
and
 
Blocked
 
Persons
 
(“SDN”)
 
by
 
the
 
U.S.
 
Department
 
of
 
the
 
Treasury,
 
Office
 
of
 
Foreign
 
Assets
 
Control
 
(“OFAC”).
 
In
addition,
 
between
 
1993
 
and
 
2005,
 
Barclays
 
entered
 
into
 
similar
 
guarantees
 
for
 
the
 
benefit
 
of
 
a
 
Syrian
 
bank
 
that
 
was
 
subsequently
 
designated
pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
Weap
 
ons
 
of
 
Mass
 
Destruction
 
Proliferators
 
Sanctions
 
Regulations
 
(“WMDPSR”)
 
in
 
August
 
2011.
These
 
guarantees
 
were
 
issued
 
either
 
on:
(i)
 
an
 
“extend
 
or
 
pay”
 
basis,
 
which
 
means
 
that,
 
although
 
the
 
guarantee
 
is
 
of
 
limited
 
duration
 
on
 
its
 
face,
 
until
 
there
 
is
 
full
 
performance
 
under
 
the
contract
 
to
 
provide
 
goods
 
and
 
services,
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
guarantee
 
require
 
Barclays
 
to
 
maintain
 
the
 
guarantee
 
or
 
pay
 
the
 
beneficiary
 
bank
the
 
full
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
guarantee;
 
or
(ii)
 
the
 
basis
 
that
 
Barclays
 
obligations
 
can
 
only
 
be
 
discharged
 
with
 
the
 
consent
 
of
 
the
 
beneficiary
 
counterparty.
Barclays
 
is
 
not
 
able
 
to
 
exit
 
its
 
obligations
 
under
 
the
 
above
 
guarantees
 
unilaterally,
 
and
 
thus
 
it
 
maintains
 
a
 
limited
 
legacy
 
portfolio
 
of
 
these
guarantees,
 
which
 
were
 
in
 
compliance
 
with
 
applicable
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
they
 
were
 
entered
 
into.
 
Barclays
 
intends
 
to
 
terminate
 
the
guarantees
 
where
 
an
 
agreement
 
can
 
be
 
reached
 
with
 
the
 
counterparty,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
applicable
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations.
 
Barclays
 
attributed
no
 
revenue
 
in
 
2020
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
this
 
activity.

entered
 
into
 
in
 
1979,
 
with
 
the
 
National
 
Iranian
 
Oil

(“NIOC”),
 
pursuant
 
to
 
which
 
Barclays
 
rents
part
 
of
 
NIOC
 
House
 
in
 
London
 
for
 
a

60
 
years,
 
contains

of
 
engaging
 
in

in
 
which
participant
 
Iranian

Annual
 
Report
 
on
 
Form
 
20-F
In
 
2020,
 
Barclays
 
processed
 
one
 
GBP
 
through
 
payment
 
from
 
an
 
entity
 
in
 
the
 
Netherlands,
 
affiliated
 
with
 
the
 
Government
 
of
 
Iran,
 
to
 
a
 
UK-based
barristers’
 
chambers.
 
Neither
 
entity
 
is
 
a
 
customer
 
of
 
Barclays.
 
The
 
payment
 
was
 
for
 
legal
 
services
 
provided
 
by
 
the
 
barristers’
 
chambers
 
related
to
 
two
 
pending
 
cases
 
between
 
Iran
 
and
 
the
 
U.S.
 
before
 
the
 
International
 
Court
 
of
 
Justice
 
(“ICJ”)
 
in
 
The
 
Hague.
 
The
 
payment
 
was
 
processed
 
in
accordance
 
with
 
applicable
 
laws
 
and
 
regulations.
 
OFAC’s
 
regulations
 
generally
 
authorize
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
legal
 
services
 
to
 
the
 
Government
 
of
Iran
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
conduct
 
of
 
legal
 
proceedings
 
before
 
the
 
ICJ
 
involving
 
Iran
 
and
 
the
 
United
 
States.
 
However,
 
the
 
payment
 
for
 
legal
 
fees
 
did
 
not
fall
 
within
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
any
 
authorization
 
from
 
OFAC
 
(nor
 
was
 
it
 
required
 
to,
 
as
 
there
 
was
 
no
 
U.S.
 
jurisdictional
 
nexus).
 
Barclays
 
attributed
revenue
 
of
 
approximately
 
GBP
 
15
 
in

in

to
 
this

on

of
 
our

where
 
the
 
ultimate
 
beneficiary
 
of
 
the
 
payment
 
was
 
affiliated
 
with
 
the
Government
 
of
 
Iran.
 
The
 
payment
 
was
 
for
 
the
 
procurement
 
of
 
a
 
blood
 
sample
 
from
 
an
 
individual
 
in
 
Iran
 
and
 
shipping
 
of
 
the

was

potential
 
donor

to

in

Forbearance
 
measures
 
consist
 
of
 
concessions
 
towards
 
a
 
debtor
 
that
 
is
 
experiencing
 
or
 
is
 
about
 
to
 
experience
 
difficulties
 
in
 
meeting
 
their
financial
 
commitments.
 
Both
 
performing
 
and
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
assets
 
are
 
classified
 
as
 
Stage
 
3
 
except
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
established
 
that
 
the
concession
 
granted
 
has
 
not
 
resulted
 
in

that
 
no
 
other
 
regulatory
 
definition
 
of

criteria
 
has
 
been
triggered,
 
in
 
which
 
case
 
the
 
asset
 
is
 
classified
 
as
 
Stage
 
2.
 
The
 
minimum
 
probationary
 
period
 
for
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
is
 
12
 
months
 
and
for
 
performing
 
forbearance,
 
24
 
months.
 
Hence,
 
a
 
minimum
 
of
 
36
 
months
 
is
 
required
 
for
 
non-performing
 
forbearance
 
to

Wholesale

to
 
contain
 
heightened
 
levels
 
of

are
 
recorded
 
on

four
 
categories,
 
graded
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
perceived
 
severity
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
attached
 
to
 
the
 
lending,
 
and
 
its
 
probability
 
of
 
default.
 
Where
 
a
 
counterparty’s
 
financial
 
health
 
gives
grounds
 
for

it

into
 
the

Once
 
an
 
account
 
has
 
been
 
placed

the

money
 
deposited
 
by
 
all

market
 
value
 
which
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
of

The
 
DVA,
 
therefore,
 
represents
 
an

into
 
a

’Expert
 
lender
 
models’
 
Models
 
of
 
risk
 
measures
 
that
 
are
 
used
 
for
 
parts
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
where
 
the
 
risk
 
drivers
 
are
 
specific
 
to
 
a
 
particular
counterparty,
 
but
 
where
 
there
 
is
 
insufficient
 
data
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
construction
 
of
 
a
 
statistical
 
model.
 
These
 
models
 
utilise
 
the
 
knowledge
 
of
 
credit
experts
 
that
 
have
 
in
 
depth
 
experience
 
of
 
the

to
 
a
 
customer
 
or
 
counterparty
 
in
 
the
event
 
of,
 
and
 
at
 
the
 
time
 
of,
 
that
 
counterparty’s
 
default.
 
At
 
default,
 
the
 
customer
 
may
 
not
 
have
 
drawn
 
the
 
loan
 
fully
 
or
 
may
 
already
 
have
 
repaid
some
 
of
 
the
 
principal,
 
so
 
that
 
exposure
 
may
 
be
 
less

can
 
also
 
be
 
used
 
for

use
 
the
 
Internal
 
Ratings
 
Based
 
(IRB)
approach
 
may
 
apply
 
to
 
securitisation

It
 
consists
 
of
 
mapping
 
a
 
bank's
 
internal
 
rating
 
methodology
 
for
 
credit
 
exposures
 
to
 
those
 
of
 
an
External

to
 
determine
 
the
 
appropriate

the
 
risks
 
it
 
is
 
exposed

It

quantity
 
of
 
capital
 
is
 
available
 
to
 
absorb
 
capital
 
losses
 
for
 
the
 
risks
 
the
 
firm
undertakes.
 
The
 
capital
 
adequacy
 
is
 
assessed
 
on
 
a

Investments
 
in
 
equity
 
securities
 
in
 
operating
 
companies
 
not
 
quoted
 
on
 
a
 
public
 
exchange.
 
Investment
 
in
 
private
equity
 
often
 
involves
 
the
 
investment
 
of
 
capital
 
in
 
private
 
companies
 
or

as
 
described
 
in
 
the
 
Risk
 
Review
 
section
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Annual
 
Report.
‘Pro-cyclicality’
 
Movements
 
in
 
financial
 
variables
 
(including
 
capital
 
requirements)
 
following
 
natural
 
fluctuations
 
in
 
the
 
economic
 
cycle,
 
where
 
the
subsequent
 
impact
 
on
 
lending
 
or
 
other
 
market
 
behaviours
 
acts
 
as
 
an
 
amplification
 
of
 
the
 
economic
 
cycle
 
by
 
the
 
financial
 
sector.
‘Probability
 
of
 
Default
 
(PD)’
The
 
likelihood
 
that
 
a
 
loan
 
will
 
not
 
be
 
repaid
 
and
 
will
 
fall
 
into
 
default.
 
PD
 
may
 
be
 
calculated
 
for
 
each
 
client
 
who
 
has
 
a
loan
 
(normally
 
applicable
 
to
 
wholesale
 
customers/clients)
 
or
 
for
 
a
 
portfolio
 
of
 
clients
 
with
 
similar
 
attributes
 
(normally
 
applicable
 
to
 
retail
customers).
 
To
 
calculate
 
PD,
 
Barclays
 
assesses
 
the
 
credit
 
quality
 
of
 
borrowers
 
and
 
other
 
counterparties
 
and
 
assigns
 
them
 
an
 
internal
 
risk
rating.
 
Multiple
 
rating
 
methodologies
 
may
 
be
 
used
 
to
 
inform
 
the
 
rating
 
decision
 
on
 
individual
 
large
 
credits,
 
such
 
as
 
internal
 
and
 
external
 
models,
rating
 
agency
 
ratings,
 
and
 
for
 
wholesale
 
assets
 
market
 
information
 
such
 
as
 
credit
 
spreads.
 
For
 
smaller
 
credits,
 
a
 
single
 
source
 
may
 
suffice
 
such
as
 
the
 
result
 
from
 
an
 
internal
 
rating
 
model.
‘Product
 
structural
 
hedge’
 
An
 
interest
 
rate
 
hedge
 
put
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
reduce
 
earnings
 
volatility
 
on
 
product
 
balances
 
with
 
instant
 
access
 
(such
 
as
 
non-
interest
 
bearing
 
current
 
accounts
 
and
 
managed
 
rate
 
deposits)
 
and
 
to
 
smoothen
 
the
 
income
 
over
 
a
 
medium/long
 
term.

as
 
at
 
the
 
period
 
end
 
compared
 
to
 
total
 
outstanding
 
balances.
 
The
 
size
 
of
 
the

would
 
ultimately
 
have
 
an
impact
 
on
 
the
 
overall
 
impairment
 
requirement
 
on
 
the
 
portfolio.
 
Balances
 
in
 
recovery
 
will
 
decrease
 
if:
 
assets
 
are
 
written-off;
 
amounts
 
are
collected;
 
or
 
assets
 
are
 
sold

loans’
 
Loans
 
are
 
generally
 
renegotiated

of
 
an
 
ongoing
 
customer
 
relationship
 
or
 
in
 
response
 
to
 
an
 
adverse
 
change
 
in
the
 
circumstances
 
of
 
the
 
borrower.
 
In
 
the
 
latter
 
case,
 
renegotiation
 
can
 
result
 
in
 
an
 
extension
 
of
 
the
 
due
 
date
 
of
 
payment
 
or
 
repayment
 
plans
under
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
offers
 
a
 
concessionary
 
rate
 
of
 
interest
 
to
 
genuinely
 
distressed
 
borrowers.
 
This
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
asset
 
continuing
to
 
be
 
overdue,
 
and
 
individually
 
impaired
 
if
 
the
 
renegotiated
 
payments
 
of
 
interest
 
and
 
principal
 
will
 
not
 
recover
 
the
 
original
 
carrying
 
amount
 
of
 
the
asset.
 
In
 
other
 
cases,
 
renegotiation
 
will
 
lead
 
to
 
a
 
new
 
agreement,
 
which
 
is
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
new
 
loan.

financial
securities
 
as
 
collateral
 
for
 
an
 
interest
 
bearing
 
cash
 
loan.
 
The
 
borrower
 
agrees
 
to
 
sell
 
a
 
security
 
to
 
the
 
lender
 
subject
 
to

price
 
on
 
a
 
given
 
date.
 
For
 
the
 
party
 
selling
 
the
 
security
 
(and
 
agreeing
 
to
 
repurchase
 
it
 
in
 
the
 
future),
 
it
 
is
 
a
Repurchase
 
agreement
 
or
 
Repo;
 
for
 
the
 
counterparty
 
to
 
the
 
transaction
 
(buying
 
the
 
security
 
and
 
agreeing
 
to
 
sell
 
in
 
the
 
future),
 
it
 
is
 
a
 
Reverse
repurchase
 
agreement
 
or
 
Reverse
 
repo.

where,
 
for
 
economic

to
 
the

are
 
required
 
to
 
hold
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
for
 
operational
 
risk
 
equal
 
to
 
the
 
annual
 
average,
calculated
 
over
 
a
 
rolling
 
three-year
 
period,
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
income
 
indicator
 
(across
 
all
 
business
 
lines),

operating
 
model
 
enables
 
Barclays
 
to
 
separate

between
 
those
client
 
facing
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
and
 
associated
 
support
 
functions
 
responsible
 
for
 
identifying
 
risk,
 
operating
 
within
 
applicable
 
limits
 
and
escalating
 
risk
 
events
 
(first
 
line);
 
colleagues
 
in
 
Risk
 
and
 
Compliance
 
who
 
establish
 
the
 
limits,
 
rules
 
and
 
constraints
 
under
 
which
 
the
 
first
 
line
operates
 
and
 
monitor
 
their
 
performance
 
against
 
those
 
limits
 
and
 
constraints
 
(second
 
line);
 
and,
 
colleagues
 
in
 
Internal
 
Audit
 
who
 
provide
assurance
 
to
 
the
 
Board

Executive
 
Management
 
over
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
governance,
 
risk

them
 
all.
 
The
 
Legal

is,
 
however,
 
subject
 
to
 
oversight
 
from
