Forward-looking
 
statements
This
 
document
 
contains
 
certain
 
forward-looking
 
statements
 
within
 
the
 
meaning
 
of
 
Section
 
21E
 
of
 
the
 
US
 
Securities
 
Exchange
 
Act
 
of
 
1934,
 
as
amended,
 
and
 
Section
 
27A
 
of
 
the
 
US
 
Securities
 
Act
 
of
 
1933,
 
as
 
amended,
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

applicable
 
to
 
past,
 
current
 
and
 
future
 
periods;
 
UK,

related
 
risks
 
such
 
as

of
 
any
 
entity
 
within
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
or
 
any
 
securities
 
issued
 
by
 
such
 
entities;
 
direct
 
and
 
indirect
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
coronavirus
 
(COVID-19)
 
pandemic;
 
instability
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
exit
 
by
 
the
 
UK
 
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

failures
 
on
 
the

and
 
the
 
success
 
of

and
 
other
strategic
 
transactions.
 
A
 
number
 
of
 
these
 
influences
 
and
 
factors
 
are
 
beyond
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
control.
 
As
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
Barclays

position,
 
future
 
results,

report
 
(Governance
 
Report)
 
for
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
(BBPLC
 
or
 
the
 
Company)
 
provides
 
an
 
overview
 
of
 
how
 
the
BBPLC
 
governance
 
framework
 
operates
 
and
 
of
 
the
 
Board’s
 
key
 
areas
 
of
 
focus
 
during
 
the
 
year.
Strategy
 
and
 
performance
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
the
 
non
 
ring-fenced
 
bank
 
within
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
(Barclays
 
PLC
 
together
 
with
 
its
 
subsidiaries).
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group
 
(Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
together
 
with
 
its
 
subsidiaries)
 
contains
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
Barclays
 
International
 
division,
 
which
 
is
comprised
 
of
 
the
 
CIB
 
and
 
CC&P
 
businesses.
 
The
 
Board
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
comprises
 
a
 
subset
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board,
 
with
 
all
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC
board,
 
except
 
the
 
Senior
 
Independent
 
Director,
 
the
 
Chairman
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
and
 
one
 
other
 
Non-Executive
 
Director,
 
serving
 
on
 
the
Board
 
of
 
BBPLC.
During
 
a
 
challenging
 
year
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
the
 
businesses
 
in
 
our
 
CIB
 
have
 
seen
 
heightened
 
activity
 
from
 
our
 
clients
 
and
customers
 
during
 
2020,
 
with
 
our
 
Markets
 
business
 
in
 
particular
 
benefitting
 
from
 
increased
 
trading
 
volumes
 
and
 
wider
 
margins.
 
At
 
the
 
same
 
time,
our
 
CC&P
 
businesses
 
have
 
faced
 
challenges
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
economic
 
shock
 
and
 
long-term
 
low
 
interest
 
rate
 
environment.
Looking
 
ahead,
 
across
 
our
 
CIB
 
we
 
will
 
remain
 
focused
 
on
 
maintaining
 
our
 
client-centric
 
approach
 
and,
 
in
 
doing
 
so,
 
developing
 
opportunities
 
to
grow
 
our
 
business
 
and
 
increase
 
returns.
 
Within
 
our
 
CC&P
 
businesses,
 
we
 
intend
 
to
 
accelerate
 
our
 
strategy
 
to
 
invest
 
in
 
and
 
build
 
world-class
technology
 
and
 
digital
 
capabilities.
The
 
Board
I
 
am
 
very
 
grateful
 
for
 
the
 
support
 
and
 
hard
 
work
 
of
 
all
 
my
 
Board
 
colleagues
 
during
 
2020,
 
not
 
least
 
for
 
the
 
additional
 
commitment
 
required
 
of
each
 
of
 
them
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
oversee
 
our
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
During
 
the
 
course
 
of
 
the
 
year,
 
scheduled
 
Board
 
meetings
 
were
supplemented
 
by
 
additional
 
Board
 
meetings
 
(including
 
a
 
number
 
scheduled
 
at
 
short
 
notice)
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
discuss
 
key
 
issues
 
arising
 
throughout
 
the
pandemic.
We
 
were
 
fortunate
 
to
 
welcome
 
Mohamed
 
El-Erian
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
January
 
2020
 
who
 
brought
 
with
 
him
 
a
 
wealth
 
of
 
valuable
 
insight
 
and
experience,
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
markets
 
and
 
geographies
 
in
 
which
 
we
 
operate.
 
Matthew
 
Lester

the

stepped
 
down
 
from
 
the
 
Board
 
on

September
 
2020
 
and
 
I
 
would
 
like
 
to
 
extend
 
my
 
personal
 
thanks
 
and
 
those
 
of
 
the
 
Board
to
 
Matthew
 
and
 
Mary
 
Anne
 
for
 
their
 
service
 
to
 
the
 
Company.
The
 
future
With
 
positive
 
progress
 
being
 
made
 
on
 
the
 
rollout
 
of
 
COVID-19
 
vaccines,
 
there
 
is
 
cause
 
for
 
optimism.
 
Whilst
 
undoubtedly
 
the
 
ongoing
 
pandemic
will
 
continue
 
to
 
weaken
 
the
 
global
 
economy
 
for
 
some
 
time
 
to
 
come
 
and
 
impact
 
our
 
businesses,
 
I
 
believe
 
that
 
we
 
are
 
well
 
placed
 
to
 
respond
 
to
any
 
challenges
 
that
 
lie
 
ahead.
My
 
thanks
 
to
 
all
 
those
 
with
 
whom
 
we
 
have
 
worked
 
alongside
 
this
 
year
 
-
 
our
 
clients,
 
customers,
 
regulators
 
and
 
governments.
 
But
 
let
 
me
 
finish
 
by
thanking,
 
most
 
wholeheartedly,
 
all
 
our
 
colleagues
 
around
 
the
 
globe
 
who
 
have
 
responded
 
so
 
magnificently
 
to
 
the
 
challenges
 
we
 
have
 
faced.

Introduction
 
Following
 
the
 
structural
 
reform
 
programme
 
to
 
realign
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
and
 
ring-fence
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group's
 
UK
 
consumer
 
banking
 
business
 
in
April
 
2018,
 
and
 
a
 
further
 
review
 
(post
 
structural
 
reform
 
programme)
 
of
 
the
 
corporate
 
governance
 
structure
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
PLC
(Barclays
 
or
 
BPLC)
 
(reflecting
 
outcomes
 
of
 
discussions
 
with
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group's
 
regulators)
 
in
 
2019,
 
the
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
BBPLC
 
and
 
BPLC
boards
 
was
 
consolidated,
 
such
 
that
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
BBPLC
 
Board
 
now
 
comprises
 
a
 
subset
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board,
 
with
 
all
 
members
 
of
 
the
BPLC
 
board,
 
except
 
the
 
Senior
 
Independent
 
Director,
 
the
 
Chairman
 
of
 
BBUKPLC
 
and
 
one
 
other
 
Non-Executive
 
Director,
 
also
 
serving
 
on
 
the
board
 
of
 
BBPLC.
 
This
 
has
 
helped
 
improve
 
coordination
 
and
 
efficiency
 
between
 
the
 
two
 
boards
 
and
 
reduced
 
complexity
 
and
 
unnecessary
duplication.
 
This
 
structure
 
vests
 
oversight
 
over
 
the
 
activities
 
of
 
BBPLC
 
in
 
a
 
board
 
the
 
members
 
of
 
which
 
also
 
have
 
direct
 
accountability
 
to
BPLC’s
 
shareholders
 
through
 
their
 
separate
 
responsibilities
 
as
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC
 
board.
 
The
 
Board
 
aspires
 
to
 
have
 
high
 
standards
 
of
corporate
 
governance
 
and,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Companies
 
(Miscellaneous
 
Reporting)
 
Regulations
 
2018
 
(the
 
2018
 
Regulations),
 
has
adopted
 
its
 
own
 
corporate
 
governance
 
arrangements,
 
which
 
it
 
believes
 
are
 
appropriate
 
to
 
apply
 
and
 
are
 
designed
 
to
 
ensure
 
effective
 
decision-
making
 
to
 
promote
 
the
 
Company’s
 
success
 
for
 
the
 
long
 
term.
The
 
Board
 
chose
 
not
 
to
 
adopt
 
and
 
report
 
against
 
the
 
2018
 
UK
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Code,
 
which
 
is
 
designed
 
for
 
premium
 
listed
 
companies
and,
 
whilst
 
fully
 
supportive
 
of
 
the
 
Wates
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Principles
 
for
 
Large
 
Private
 
Companies
 
(in
 
particular
 
the
 
focus
 
on
 
purpose,
culture
 
and
 
employee
 
and
 
stakeholder
 
engagement),
 
the
 
Board
 
considers
 
that
 
those
 
Principles
 
are
 
less
 
appropriate
 
for
 
a
 
wholly-owned
subsidiary
 
of
 
a
 
premium
 
listed
 
company,
 
which
 
is
 
also
 
a
 
complex
 
financial
 
institution
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
comprehensive
 
regulatory
 
regime.
 
This
approach
 
is
 
consistent
 
with
 
the
 
approach
 
of
 
other
 
significant
 
subsidiaries
 
within
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group,
 
which
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
2018
 
Regulations.
The
 
Board’s
 
primary
 
aim
 
is
 
that
 
its
 
governance
 
arrangements:
 
are
 
effective
 
in
 
providing
 
advice
 
and
 
support
 
to
 
management;
 
provide
 
checks
 
and
 
balances
 
and
 
encourage
 
constructive
 
challenge;
 
drive
 
informed,
 
collaborative
 
and
 
accountable
 
decision-making;
 
create
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
value
 
for
 
the
 
Company’s
 
shareholder,
 
the
 
ultimate
 
shareholders
 
of
 
BPLC
 
and
 
our
 
wider
 
stakeholders.
Set
 
out
 
below
 
are
 
the
 
principles
 
which
 
underpin
 
our
 
corporate
 
governance
 
arrangements
 
and
 
how
 
these
 
principles
 
have
 
been
 
applied
 
during
2020.
Our
 
Group-wide
 
governance
 
framework
 
is
 
set
 
by
 
Barclays
 
and
 
has
 
been
 
designed
 
to
 
facilitate
 
the
 
effective
 
management
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
This
 
includes
 
the
 
setting
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
policies
 
and
 
approach
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
matters
 
such
 
as
 
Barclays’
 
purpose
 
and
 
values,
 
Barclays’
Remuneration
 
Policy
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays’
 
Charter
 
of
 
Expectations.
 
Where
 
appropriate,
 
this
 
corporate
 
governance
 
statement
 
makes
 
reference
 
to
those
 
Group
 
policies,
 
which
 
are
 
relevant
 
to
 
the
 
way
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Company
 
is
 
governed.
The
 
Company’s
 
corporate
 
governance
 
principles
 
and
 
how
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
applied
 
them
 
during
 
2020
 
and
 
to
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
this
 
report
Principle
 
One:
 
Board
 
leadership
 
and
 
company
 
purpose
A
 
successful
 
company
 
is
 
led
 
by
 
an
 
effective
 
and
 
entrepreneurial
 
board,
 
whose
 
role
 
is
 
to
 
establish
 
the
 
company’s
 
purpose,
 
values
 
and
 
strategy,
aligned
 
to
 
its
 
culture
 
and
 
make
 
decisions
 
to
 
promote
 
its
 
success
 
for
 
the
 
long
 
term
 
benefit
 
of
 
its
 
shareholder,
 
having
 
regard
 
to
 
the
 
interests
 
of
other
 
relevant
 
stakeholders
 
and
 
factors.
 
Through
 
the
 
leadership
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
a
 
clear
 
vision
 
for
 
the
 
Company’s
 
purpose
 
and
 
overall
 
values
 
is
 
articulated,
 
underpinning
 
and
 
defining
 
the
strategy
 
and
 
culture
 
of
 
the
 
organisation.
 
This
 
is
 
embedded
 
at
 
every
 
level
 
of
 
management.
 
The
 
challenges
 
presented
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
reinforced
 
the
 
importance
 
for
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
our
 
purpose
 
in
 
everything
 
we
 
do,
 
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
 
adopted
 
a
 
new,
 
extended
narrative
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
purpose
 
and
 
the
 
refreshed
 
descriptions
 
of
 
our
 
values
 
to
 
make
 
sure
 
they
 
are
 
still
 
relevant
 
for
 
the
 
challenges
ahead.
 
 
The
 
Board
 
believes
 
that
 
positive
 
culture,
 
supported
 
by
 
effective
 
leadership
 
and
 
a
 
consistent
 
‘tone
 
from
 
the
 
top’
 
is
 
crucial
 
to
 
our
 
success.
Culture
 
remains
 
a
 
core
 
area
 
of
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
is
 
reviewed
 
in
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
ways.
 
The
 
Board
 
supports
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Way
 
which
 
sets
the
 
framework
 
for
 
achieving
 
a
 
dynamic
 
and
 
positive
 
culture.
 
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
 
our
 
business
 
and
 
raised
 
significant
 
matters
 
for
consideration
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
Board’s
 
responsibility
 
for
 
the
 
Company’s
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
success.
 
To
 
clearly
 
establish
and
 
implement
 
the
 
Company’s
 
strategy,
 
and
 
be
 
effective,
 
with
 
management,
 
in
 
addressing
 
the
 
challenges
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
pandemic,
 
the
Board
 
has
 
continued
 
to
 
deepen
 
its
 
understanding
 
of
 
our
 
business
 
and
 
the
 
risks
 
and
 
opportunities
 
it
 
faces.
 
 
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
 
Company’s
 
operational
 
resilience,
 
with
 
strategy
 
considered
 
at
 
every
 
Board
 
meeting.
Deep
 
dive
 
topics
 
were
 
informed
 
by
 
discussions
 
with
 
our
 
shareholder
 
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.

An

requires
 
a
 
clear
 
division
 
of
 
responsibilities
 
with
 
the

leadership
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
business
 
being
 
delegated
 
to
 
the
 
Chief
 
Executive
 
Officer.
 
The
 
board
 
should
 
consist
 
of
 
an

independent
 
non-executive
 
directors,
 
each
 
with

clear
 
understanding
 
of
 
their

The

to
 
how
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
entities

their
 
respective
Boards

also
 
providing

and
 
clarity
 
for

and
 
directors
 
as
 
to
 
how
 
these
relationships
 
and
 
processes
 
should
 
work
 
in
 
practice.
 
It
 
is
 
a
 
dynamic
 
document
 
that
 
continues
 
to
 
evolve
 
with
 
the
 
changing
 
nature
 
of
 
the
Barclays
 
Group.
 
Principle
 
Three:
 
Composition,
 
succession
 
and
 
evaluation
A
 
board
 
with
 
the
 
right
 
balance
 
of
 
skills,
 
experience
 
and
 
diversity
 
is
 
critical
 
to
 
the
 
sustainable
 
delivery
 
of
 
value
 
to
 
the
 
company’s
 
shareholder
 
and
broader
 
stakeholders.
 
The
 
size
 
of
 
the
 
board
 
should
 
be
 
guided
 
by
 
the
 
scale
 
and
 
complexity
 
of
 
the
 
company
 
and
 
appointments
 
should
 
be
 
based
on
 
merit
 
and
 
objective
 
criteria,
 
with
 
a
 
view
 
to
 
promoting
 
diversity
 
and
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
formal,
 
rigorous
 
and
 
transparent
 
procedure,
 
which
 
is
underpinned
 
by
 
an
 
effective
 
succession
 
plan
 
for
 
board
 
and
 
senior
 
management.
 
A
 
successful
 
board
 
is
 
a
 
cohesive
 
board
 
that
 
provides
 
informed
and
 
constructive
 
challenge
 
to
 
the
 
management
 
team
 
and
 
measures
 
its
 
effectiveness.
 
The
 
size
 
and
 
composition
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
considered
 
appropriate
 
for
 
the
 
business
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
There
 
is
 
a
 
good
 
balance
between
 
Executive
 
and
 
independent
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors,
 
with
 
the
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
providing

challenge.
 
The
 
Board
members
 
have
 
a
 
strong
 
combination
 
of
 
technical,
 
finance
 
(including
 
significant
 
financial
 
services
 
experience)
 
and
 
commercial
 
skills
 
and
 
have
broader
 
experience
 
in
 
culture
 
and
 
colleague
 
engagement.
 
 
The
 
membership
 
of
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
drawn
 
exclusively
 
from
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Board.
 
All
 
appointments
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
are
 
based
 
on
 
merit
 
and
 
objective
 
criteria,
 
with
 
a
 
continued
 
strong
 
belief
 
in
 
the
 
benefits
of
 
diversity
 
(of
 
gender,
 
social
 
and
 
ethnic
 
backgrounds,
 
cognitive
 
and
 
personal
 
strengths)
 
for
 
an
 
effective
 
Board
 
and
 
organisation.
 
This
 
will
remain
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
of
 
focus
 
as
 
the
 
Company
 
continues
 
to
 
strive
 
to
 
build
 
a
 
workforce
 
that
 
reflects
 
the
 
diversity
 
of
 
its
 
customers
 
and
 
the
communities
 
it
 
serves.
 
 
There
 
is
 
regular
 
review
 
of
 
the
 
leadership
 
and

needs
 
of
 
the

the
 
talent
 
and
succession
 
pipeline
 
at
 
the
 
Board,
 
Executive

level.
 
This
 
remains
 
a
 
key
 
focus
 
to
 
maintain
 
the
 
quality
 
of
 
leadership
 
that
 
is
in

Principle
 
Four:
 
Audit,
 
Risk
 
and
 
Internal
 
Control
A
 
board
 
should
 
establish
 
formal
 
and
 
transparent
 
policies
 
and
 
procedures
 
to
 
(i)
 
identify
 
the
 
nature
 
and
 
extent
 
of
 
principal
 
risks
 
the
 
company
 
is
willing
 
to
 
take
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
achieve
 
its
 
long-term
 
strategic
 
objectives;
 
(ii)
 
manage
 
such
 
risks
 
effectively;
 
(iii)
 
oversee
 
the
 
internal
 
control
 
framework;
(iv)
 
promote
 
the
 
independence
 
and
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
internal
 
and
 
external
 
audit
 
functions;
 
and
 
(v)
 
satisfy
 
itself
 
on
 
the
 
integrity
 
of
 
financial
reporting.
 
Principal
 
risks
 
have
 
been
 
identified,
 
with
 
robust
 
processes
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
evaluate
 
and
 
manage
 
such
 
risks;
 
including
 
regular
 
reporting
 
to,
 
and
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
and
 
the
 
Board.
 
A
 
key
 
component
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
framework
 
is
 
the
 
ERMF,
 
which
 
supports
 
the
business
 
in
 
its
 
aim
 
to
 
embed
 
effective
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
a
 
strong
 
risk
 
management
 
culture.
 
The
 
ERMF
 
is
 
designed
 
to

Principle
 
Five:
 
Remuneration
The
 
remuneration
 
policies
 
and
 
practices
 
should
 
support
 
strategy
 
and
 
promote
 
long-term
 
sustainable
 
success,
 
and
 
be
 
developed
 
in
 
accordance
with
 
formal

transparent
 
procedures,
 
ensuring
 
no
 
director
 
is
 
involved
 
in
 
deciding
 
their
 
own
 
remuneration
 
outcome.
 
Executive
 
remuneration
should
 
be

to
 
the

and
 
the

delivery
 
of

Policy
 
is
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Remuneration
 
Committee,
 
but
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Company’s
 
independent
 
Remuneration
Committee.
 
Remuneration
 
is
 
aligned
 
to
 
the
 
Company’s
 
strategy
 
and
 
risk
 
management
 
approach
 
and
 
designed
 
to
 
promote
 
the
 
long-term
success
 
of
 
the
 
Company.
 
 
Executive
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
remuneration
 
approaches
 
are
 
developed
 
in

with
 
the

formal
 
procedures
 
(ensuring

and
 
shared
 
with
 
the

Committee.
 
 
The

has
 
clearly

with
 
responsibility
 
for
 
the

to
 
ensure
 
an

Principle
 
Six:
 
Stakeholder
 
relationships
 
and
 
engagement
Directors
 
should
 
foster
 
effective
 
stakeholder
 
relationships
 
aligned
 
to
 
the
 
company’s
 
purpose.
 
The
 
board
 
should
 
recognise
 
the
 
importance
 
of
listening
 
to,
 
and
 
understanding
 
the
 
views
 
of
 
its
 
stakeholders,
 
including
 
the
 
workforce,
 
and
 
specifically
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
company’s
 
behaviour
and
 
business
 
on
 
customers
 
and
 
clients,
 
colleagues,
 
suppliers,
 
communities
 
and
 
society
 
more
 
broadly;
 
having
 
regard
 
to
 
these
 
views
 
and
 
impact
when
 
taking
 
decisions.
 
Through
 
the
 
Company’s
 
defined
 
purpose
 
and
 
strategy,
 
key
 
stakeholders,
 
on
 
whom
 
the
 
success
 
of
 
the
 
Company
 
depends,
 
are
 
identified.
 
 
The
 
Board
 
seeks
 
to
 
understand
 
the
 
views
 
of
 
key
 
stakeholders
 
and
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
behaviour
 
and
 
business
 
on
 
customers
 
and
clients,
 
colleagues,
 
suppliers,
 
communities
 
and
 
society
 
more
 
broadly.
 
 
The
 
Board
 
and
 
management
 
engage
 
throughout
 
the
 
year
 
with
 
broader
 
stakeholders.
 
The
 
Company’s
 
long-standing
 
commitment
 
to
 
the
 
importance
 
and
 
value
 
of
 
colleague
 
engagement
 
continues;
 
the
 
Company’s
 
people
 
are
 
its
most
 
valued
 
asset.

The
 
Board
Executive
 
and
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
share
 
the
 
same
 
duties
 
and
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
same
 
constraints.
 
However,
 
a
 
clear
 
division
 
of
responsibilities
 
has
 
been
 
established.
 
The
 
Chairman
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
leading
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
its
 
overall
 
effectiveness,
 
demonstrating
 
objective
judgement
 
and
 
promoting
 
a
 
culture
 
of
 
openness
 
and
 
constructive
 
debate
 
between
 
all
 
Directors.
 
The
 
Chairman
 
facilitates
 
the
 
effective
contribution
 
of
 
all
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
and
 
ensures
 
Directors
 
receive
 
accurate,
 
clear
 
and
 
timely
 
information.
 
It
 
is
 
the
 
Board’s
 
responsibility
 
to
ensure
 
that
 
management
 
deliver
 
on
 
short-term
 
objectives,
 
whilst
 
promoting
 
the
 
long-term
 
success
 
of
 
the
 
Company
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
 
The
Board
 
is
 
also
 
responsible
 
for
 
ensuring
 
that
 
management
 
maintains
 
an
 
effective
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
which
 
should
 
provide
 
assurance
 
of
effective
 
and
 
efficient
 
operations,
 
internal
 
financial
 
controls
 
and
 
compliance
 
with
 
law
 
and
 
regulation.
 
In
 
meeting
 
this
 
responsibility,
 
the
 
Board
considers
 
what
 
is
 
appropriate
 
for
 
the
 
Company’s
 
business
 
and
 
reputation,
 
the
 
materiality
 
of
 
financial
 
and
 
other
 
risks
 
and
 
the
 
relevant
 
costs
 
and
benefits
 
of
 
implementing
 
controls.
The
 
Board
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
which
 
contains
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
Barclays
 
International
 
division,
 
which
is
 
comprised
 
of
 
the
 
CIB
 
and
 
CC&P
 
businesses.
The
 
BBPLC
 
Schedule
 
of
 
Matters
 
Reserved
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
ensures
 
that
 
appropriate
 
coordination
 
with
 
the
 
governance
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
boards
is
 
in
 
place.
 
The
 
Schedule
 
of
 
Matters
 
Reserved
 
specifies
 
those
 
decisions
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
by
 
the
 
Board,
 
including
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to
 
material
 
decisions
relating
 
to

approval
 
of
 
large
 
transactions,
 
approval
 
of
 
share

and
 
dividends.
 
The
 
Board
 
has
 
delegated
 
the
 
responsibility
 
for
 
making
and
 
implementing
 
operational
 
decisions
 
and
 
running
 
the
 
Company’s
 
business
 
on
 
a
 
day-to-day
 
basis
 
to
 
the
 
Chief
 
Executive
 
Officer
 
and
 
his
senior
 
management
 
team.
The
 
current
 
Board
 
comprises
 
a
 
Chairman,
 
who
 
was
 
independent
 
on
 
appointment,
 
two
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
and
 
six
 
independent
 
Non-Executive

The

of
 
the

are
 
independent
 
Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
bringing
 
significant
 
expertise
 
(including
 
external

An
 
internal
 
review
 
of
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
was
 
undertaken
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
Committee
 
performance
 
in
 
2020.
 
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
 
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
 
BPLC
 
Board
 
Risk
 
committee
 
in
 
September
 
2019,
 
coverage
 
of
 
BBPLC
matters
 
within
 
concurrent
 
meetings
 
was
 
considered
 
appropriate.

regularly
 
reviews
 
the

Committee
 
and
 
the
 
core
competencies,
 
diversity
 
and

required.
 
For
 
the
 
Board,
 
it
 
is
 
standard
 
practice
 
to
 
appoint
 
any
 
new
 
Non-Executive

for
an
 
initial
 
three-year

which
 
may
 
be
 
extended
 
for
 
up
 
to
 
a
 
further
 
three-year
 
term.
 
As
 
such,

Effectiveness
Appointments
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
are
 
made
 
via
 
a
 
formal,
 
rigorous
 
and
 
transparent
 
process,
 
based
 
on
 
merit,
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
skills,
 
experience
and
 
diversity
 
needed
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
strategic
 
direction.
As

gender
 
diversity
 
target
 
of
 
33%
 
with
 
three
 
female
 
directors.
 
The
 
Board
 
is
 
committed
 
to
regularly
 
reviewing
 
its
 
broad
 
diversity
 
profile.
The
 
Company
 
considers
 
the
 
composition
 
of
 
principal
 
Board
 
Committees
 
to
 
meet
 
the
 
independence
 
criteria
 
of
 
the
 
2018
 
UK
 
Corporate
Governance
 
Code,
 
notwithstanding
 
that
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
chosen
 
not
 
to
 
adopt
 
and
 
report
 
against
 
the
 
2018
 
UK
 
Corporate
 
Governance
 
Code,
 
as
stated
 
above,
 
and
 
there
 
is
 
appropriate
 
cross-membership
 
on
 
the
 
Board
 
Committees
 
to
 
further
 
promote
 
effectiveness.
All
 
Directors
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
commit
 
sufficient
 
time
 
to
 
fulfil
 
their
 
duties
 
to
 
the
 
Company.
 
This
 
includes
 
attending,
 
and
 
being
 
well-prepared
 
for,
 
all
Board
 
and
 
Committee
 
meetings,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
making
 
time
 
to
 
understand
 
the
 
business
 
and
 
meet
 
with
 
executives.
The
 
Company’s
 
Charter
 
of

sets
 
out
 
responsibilities
 
for
 
providing
 
the

with
 
accurate,
 
timely

high-quality
 
information
 
necessary

As

in
 
respect
 
of
 
Mr
 
Staley,
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
had
 
regard
 
to
the
 
conclusions
 
it
 
reached
 
last

which

of
which

Accountability
The
 
Board
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
setting
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
risk
 
appetite
 
within
 
the
 
overall
 
parameters
 
set
 
by
 
the
 
Barclay’s
 
Group,
 
being
 
the
level
 
of
 
risk
 
it
 
is
 
prepared
 
to
 
take
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
achieving
 
the
 
Barclays’
 
Group
 
strategic
 
objectives.
 
The
 
ERMF
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
identify
 
and
 
set
minimum
 
requirements
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
risks
 
to
 
achieving
 
Barclays’
 
strategic
 
objectives
 
and
 
to
 
provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
that
 
internal
controls
 
are
 
effective.
The
 
Board,
 
assisted
 
by
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee,
 
conducts
 
robust
 
assessments
 
of
 
the
 
principal
 
risks
 
facing
 
the
 
Company,
 
including
 
those
 
that
 
would
threaten
 
its
 
business
 
model,
 
future
 
performance,
 
solvency
 
or
 
liquidity.
The
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
oversees
 
the

Controls
 
over

A
 
framework
 
of
 
disclosure
 
controls
 
and

is
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
support
 
the

of
 
the

of
 
the
 
Barclays

Specific

committees
 
are
 
responsible
 
for
 
examining
 
the
 
financial
 
reports
 
and

to

Audit,
 
Risk
 
and
 
Internal
 
Control
The
 
Company
 
is
 
committed
 
to
 
operating
 
within
 
a
 
strong
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
that
 
enables
 
business
 
to
 
be
 
transacted
 
and
 
risk
 
taken
 
without
exposure
 
to
 
unacceptable
 
potential
 
losses
 
or
 
reputational
 
damage.
As
 
referenced
 
above,
 
the
 
Board
 
is
 
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
 
provide
 
only
 
reasonable,
 
rather
 
than
 
absolute,
 
assurance
 
against
 
material
 
misstatement
 
or
 
loss.
Processes
 
are
 
in
 
place
 
for
 
identifying,
 
evaluating
 
and
 
managing
 
the
 
Principal
 
Risks
 
facing
 
the
 
Company.
 
A
 
key
 
component
 
of
 
the
 
framework
 
is
the
 
ERMF
 
which
 
supports
 
the
 
business
 
in
 
its
 
aim
 
to
 
embed
 
effective
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
a
 
strong
 
risk
 
management
 
culture.
 
The
 
ERMF
 
is
designed
 
to
 
identify
 
and
 
set
 
minimum
 
requirements,
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
main
 
risks,
 
to
 
achieve
 
the
 
Company’s
 
strategic
 
objectives
 
and
 
to
 
provide
reasonable
 
assurance
 
that
 
internal
 
controls
 
are
 
effective.
The
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
internal
 
control
 
systems
 
is
 
reviewed
 
regularly
 
by
 
the
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
and
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee
(as
 
detailed
 
above).
The
 
Risk
 
Committee
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
providing
 
oversight
 
and
 
advice
 
to
 
the
 
Board
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
current
 
and
 
potential
 
future
 
risk
 
exposures
examining
 
reports
 
covering
 
the
 
Principal
 
Risks
 
including
 
those
 
that
 
would
 
threaten
 
its
 
business
 
model,
 
future
 
performance,
 
solvency
 
or
 
liquidity,
as
 
well
 
as
 
reports
 
on
 
risk
 
measurement
 
methodologies
 
and
 
risk
 
appetite.
 
Further
 
detail

Committee
 
can

to

of
 
this
 
report.
As
 
referenced
 
above,
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
carries
 
out
 
several
 
duties,
 
delegated
 
to
 
it
 
by
 
the
 
Board,
 
including
 
oversight
 
of
 
financial
 
reporting
processes,
 
reviewing
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
internal
 
controls,
 
considering
 
whistle-blowing
 
arrangements
 
and
 
oversight
 
of
 
the
 
work
 
of
 
the
 
external
and
 
internal
 
auditors.
 
Throughout
 
the
 
year
 
ended
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
and
 
to
 
date,
 
the
 
Company
 
has
 
operated
 
a
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
that
provides
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
of
 
effective
 
operations
 
covering
 
all
 
controls,
 
including
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
controls
 
and
 
compliance
 
with
laws
 
and
 
regulations.
The
 
Board,
 
together
 
with
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee,
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
ensuring
 
the
 
independence
 
and
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
internal
 
and
 
external
 
audit
functions.
 
For
 
this
 
reason,
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
members
 
met
 
regularly
 
with
 
the
 
Chief
 
Barclays
 
Internal
 
Auditor
 
and
 
the
 
Lead
 
Audit
 
Engagement
Partner
 
of
 
the
 
external
 
auditor
 
without
 
management
 
present.
 
Further

of
 
the
 
work
 
of
 
the
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
can
 
be
 
found

of

Management
 
is
 
responsible
 
for
 
establishing
 
and
 
maintaining
 
adequate
 
internal
 
controls
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
under
 
the
 
supervision
 
of
 
the
principal
 
executive
 
and
 
financial
 
officers,
 
to
 
provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
regarding
 
the
 
reliability
 
of
 
financial
 
reporting
 
and
 
the
 
preparation
 
of
financial
 
statements,
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
International
 
Financial
 
Reporting
 
Standards
 
(IFRS).
 
Internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
includes
policies
 
and
 
procedures
 
that
 
pertain
 
to
 
the
 
maintenance
 
of
 
records
 
that,
 
in
 
reasonable
 
detail:
 
Accurately
 
and
 
fairly
 
reflect
 
transactions
 
and
 
dispositions
 
of
 
assets
 
Provide
 
reasonable
 
assurances
 
that
 
transactions
 
are
 
recorded
 
as
 
necessary
 
to
 
permit
 
preparation
 
of
 
financial
 
statements
 
in
 
accordance
with
 
IFRS
 
and
 
that
 
receipts
 
and
 
expenditures
 
are
 
being
 
made
 
only
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
authorisations
 
of
 
management
 
and
 
the
 
respective
Directors
 
Provide
 
reasonable
 
assurance
 
regarding
 
prevention
 
or
 
timely
 
detection
 
of
 
unauthorised
 
acquisition,
 
use
 
or
 
disposition
 
of
 
assets
 
that
 
could
have
 
a
 
material
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
financial
 
statements.
Internal
 
control
 
systems,
 
no
 
matter
 
how
 
well
 
designed,
 
have
 
inherent
 
limitations
 
and
 
may
 
not
 
prevent
 
or
 
detect
 
misstatements.
 
Also,
 
projections
of
 
any
 
evaluation
 
of
 
effectiveness
 
to
 
future
 
periods
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
internal
 
controls
 
may
 
become
 
inadequate
 
because
 
of
 
changes
 
in
conditions,
 
or
 
that
 
the
 
degree
 
of
 
compliance
 
with
 
the
 
policies
 
or
 
procedures
 
may
 
deteriorate.
Management
 
has
 
assessed
 
the
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
as
 
of
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
 
In
 
making
 
its
 
assessment,
 
management
utilised
 
the
 
criteria
 
set
 
out
 
in
 
the
 
2013
 
COSO
 
framework
 
and
 
concluded
 
that,
 
based
 
on
 
its
 
assessment,
 
the
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
reporting
 
was
 
effective
 
as
 
of
 
31
 
December
 
2020.
The
 
system
 
of
 
internal
 
financial
 
and
 
operational
 
controls
 
is
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
regulatory
 
oversight
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
and
 
overseas.

Non-Executive
 
Directors
 
time
 
commitment
 
and
 
conflict
 
of
 
interest
Non-Executive
 
Directors,
 
including
 
the
 
Chairman,
 
are
 
informed
 
of
 
the
 
minimum
 
time
 
commitment
 
prior
 
to
 
their
 
appointment
 
and
 
they
 
are
required
 
to
 
devote
 
sufficient
 
time
 
to
 
the
 
Company
 
to
 
discharge
 
their
 
responsibilities
 
effectively.
The
 
time
 
commitments
 
of
 
Directors
 
are
 
considered
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
on
 
appointment
 
and
 
are
 
reviewed
 
when
 
appropriate.
 
External
 
appointments
must
 
be
 
agreed
 
with
 
the
 
Chairman
 
and
 
disclosed
 
to
 
the
 
Board,
 
before
 
appointment,
 
with
 
an
 
indication
 
of
 
the
 
time
 
involved.
 
The
 
Board
 
is
satisfied
 
that
 
there
 
are
 
no
 
Directors
 
whose
 
time
 
commitment
 
is
 
considered
 
to
 
be
 
a
 
matter
 
for
 
concern.
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
Act
 
and
 
the
 
Articles,
 
the
 
Board
 
has
 
authority
 
to
 
authorise
 
conflicts
 
of
 
interest,
 
and
 
this
 
ensures
 
that
 
the
 
influence
 
of
 
third
parties
 
does
 
not
 
compromise
 
or
 
override
 
independent
 
judgement
 
of
 
the
 
Board.
 
The
 
Company
 
Secretary
 
maintains
 
a
 
conflicts
 
register,
 
which
 
is
 
a
record
 
of
 
actual
 
and
 
potential
 
conflicts,
 
together
 
with
 
any
 
Board
 
authorisation
 
of
 
the
 
conflict.
Training
 
and
 
induction
During
 
2020,
 
Directors
 
engaged
 
regularly
 
(albeit
 
virtually
 
for
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the
 
year)
 
with
 
senior
 
management,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
attending
 
town
 
halls
and
 
senior
 
leadership
 
gatherings
 
(virtually).
In
 
addition,
 
Directors
 
are
 
regularly
 
provided
 
with
 
the
 
opportunity
 
to
 
take
 
part
 
in
 
ongoing
 
training
 
and
development
 
and
 
can
 
also
 
request
 
specific
 
training
 
they
 
may
 
consider
 
necessary
 
or
 
useful.
 
Opportunities
 
for
 
in-person
 
Director
 
training
 
were
more
 
limited
 
in
 
2020
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
social
 
distancing
 
and
 
as
 
the
 
Board
 
and
 
senior
 
management
 
focussed
 
on
 
the
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID-19
pandemic.
 
However,
 
training
 
and
 
development
 
was
 
supported
 
through
 
Board
 
deep
 
dives.
 
The
 
Board
 
also
 
received
 
an
 
annual
 
briefing
 
on
regulatory
 
responsibilities
 
including
 
the
 
Senior
 
Mangers
 
Regime
 
and
 
on
 
Barclays’
 
conduct
 
and
 
financial
 
crime
 
policies
 
and
 
standards.
There
 
is
 
an
 
induction
 
programme
 
for
 
all
 
new
 
Directors
 
which
 
is
 
tailored
 
to
 
their
 
specific
 
experience
 
and
 
knowledge,
 
providing
 
access
 
to
 
all
 
parts
of
 
the
 
business,
 
to
 
support
 
Directors
 
in
 
understanding
 
the
 
nature
 
of
 
the
 
business
 
and
 
the
 
key
 
issues
 
the
 
Company
 
faces.
 
When
 
a
 
Director
 
joins
a
 
Board
 
Committee,
 
the
 
schedule
 
includes
 
an
 
induction
 
to
 
the
 
operation
 
of
 
that
 
Board
 
Committee.
Diversity
 
and
 
inclusion
The

An
 
external
 
audit
 
tender
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
2015
 
and
 
the
 
decision
 
was
 
made
 
to
 
appoint
 
KPMG
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
external
 
auditor
 
with
 
effect
from
 
the
 
2017
 
financial
 
year,
 
with
 
PwC
 
resigning
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
statutory
 
auditor
 
at
 
the
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
2016
 
audit.
The
 
Company
 
is
 
in

Order
 
2014,
 
which
 
relates
 
to
 
the
 
frequency
 
and
 
governance
 
of
tenders
 
for
 
the
 
appointment
 
of
 
the
 
external
 
auditor
 
and
 
the
 
setting
 
of
 
a
 
policy
 
on
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
non-audit
 
services.
Provided
 
that
 
KPMG
 
continue
 
to
 
maintain
 
its
 
independence
 
and
 
objectivity,
 
and
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
remains
 
satisfied
 
with
 
its
performance,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
has
 
no
 
intention
 
of
 
appointing
 
an
 
alternative
 
external
 
auditor
 
before
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
the
 
current
 
required
 
period
 
of

years.
Non-audit
 
services
In
 
order
 
to
 
safeguard
 
the
 
auditor’s
 
independence
 
and
 
objectivity,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
audit.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
Policy
 
on
 
the
Provision
 
of
 
Services
 
by
 
the
 
Group
 
Statutory
 
Auditor
 
(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
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
auditor)
 
should
 
be
 
performed
 
by
 
the
 
auditor
 
only
 
in
 
certain
 
controlled
 
circumstances.
 
The
 
Policy
 
sets
 
out
 
those
 
types
 
of
services
 
that
 
are
 
strictly
 
permitted.
Under
 
the
 
Policy,
 
except
 
for
 
specific
 
categories
 
of
 
‘permitted’
 
services
 
that
 
require
 
explicit
 
Committee
 
approval,
 
the
 
BPLC
 
audit
 
committee
 
has
pre-approved
 
all
 
permitted
 
services
 
for
 
which
 
fees
 
are
 
less
 
than
 
£100,000.
 
All
 
requests
 
to
 
engage
 
the
 
auditor
 
are
 
assessed
 
by
 
independent
management
 
before
 
work
 
can
 
commence.
 
Requests
 
for
 
permitted
 
service
 
types
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
which
 
the
 
fees
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
meet
 
or
 
exceed
 
the
above
 
threshold
 
must
 
be
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Chairman
 
of
 
the
 
BPLC
 
audit
 
committee
 
before
 
work
 
is
 
permitted
 
to
 
begin.
 
Services
 
where
 
the
 
fees
 
are
expected
 
to
 
be
 
£250,000
 
or
 
higher
 
must
 
be
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
BPLC
 
Audit
 
Committee
 
as
 
a
 
whole.
 
All
 
expenses
 
and
 
disbursements
 
must
 
be
included
 
in
 
the
 
fees
 
calculation.

Going

The
 
Directors
 
considered
 
it
 
appropriate
 
to
 
prepare
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
on
 
a
 
going

basis.
In
 
preparing
 
each

the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
Company
 
financial

the
 
Directors
 
are

Company’s
 
ability
 
to
 
continue
 
as
 
a
 
going

concern;
 
and
 
use
 
the

so.

The

have
 
evaluated
 
these

in
 
the
 
preparation
 
of

consider
 
it

The
 
strength
 
and
 
success
 
of
 
Barclays
 
is
 
in
 
our
 
people.
 
We
 
want
 
to
 
support
 
their
 
health
 
and
 
wellbeing,
 
enable
 
them
 
to
 
build
 
their
 
career
 
and
empower
 
and
 
motivate
 
them
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
provide
 
excellent
 
service.
 
The
 
following
 
sub-sections
 
are
 
consistent
 
with
 
those
 
detailed
 
in
 
the
 
People
Section
 
of

and

specifically
 
mentioned.
 
Adapting
 
to
 
challenge
Events
 
over
 
the
 
last
 
12
 
months
 
have
 
affected
 
all
 
our
 
lives,
 
and
 
the
 
potential
 
for
 
disruption
 
has
 
been
 
significant.
 
Nevertheless,
 
we
 
have
 
continued
to
 
invest
 
in
 
our
 
colleagues
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
strengthen
 
our
 
business
 
and
 
protect
 
our
 
culture.
 
Our
 
people
 
have
 
shown
 
extraordinary
 
adaptability
 
and
resilience,
 
and
 
thanks
 
to
 
them
 
so
 
has
 
Barclays.
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.
 
At
 
all
 
times,
 
we
 
have
 
worked
 
tirelessly
 
to
prioritise
 
each
 
other’s
 
safety
 
and
 
wellbeing,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
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
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
created,
including
 
offering
 
paid
 
leave
 
to
 
support
 
self-quarantine,
 
sickness
 
or
 
care
 
for
 
dependents,
 
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
 
COVID-19
 
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.
A
 
continuous
 
conversation
 
with
 
colleagues
We
 
think
 
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
 
to
 
Listen
 
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
 
3
 
percentage
 
point
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
response
 
rate
 
to
 
our
 
annual
 
Your
 
View
 
employee
 
engagement
 
survey
 
with
 
62%
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
PLC
 
colleagues
 
responding.
 
The
 
results
 
showed
 
an
 
increase
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
engagement
 
levels,
 
up
 
9
 
percentage
 
points
 
to
 
82%,
 
and
 
an
increase
 
of
 
9
 
percentage
 
points
 
to
 
86%
 
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
 
83%
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
respondents
responding
 
favourably
 
to
 
this
 
question.
 
In
 
addition,
 
93%
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
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
 
73%
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
respondents
 
saying
 
they
 
have
 
been
 
able
 
to
 
balance
personal
 
and
 
work
 
demands,
 
and
 
78%
 
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
 
3
 
percentage
 
point
 
decrease
 
this
 
year
 
to
 
77%
 
in
 
the
number
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
colleagues
 
who
 
feel
 
it
 
is
 
safe
 
to
 
speak
 
up,
 
while
 
colleague
 
feedback
 
also
 
indicates
 
we
 
have
 
room
 
to
 
make
 
our
internal
 
processes
 
more
 
user
 
friendly,
 
with
 
only
 
52%
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
colleagues
 
saying
 
work
 
processes
 
make
 
it
 
easy
 
for
 
employees
 
to
 
be
productive.
We
 
maintain
 
an
 
engagement
 
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
 
wider
 
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
 
to
 
face
 
engagement
 
being
 
more
 
limited
 
due
 
to
 
social
 
distancing
 
requirements,
 
including
 
large-scale
virtual
 
town
 
halls,
 
training
 
and
 
development
 
activity,
 
mentoring,
 
informal
 
breakfast
 
sessions,
 
committee
 
membership,
 
ex-officio
 
roles,
 
diversity
and
 
wellbeing
 
programmes,
 
focus
 
and
 
consultative
 
groups.

Direct

a
 
comprehensive

helps
 
our

take
 
the

of
 
interest
 
to
our
 
colleagues
 
into
 
account
 
in
 
their

This
 
has
 
enabled
 
them
 
to
 
confirm
 
that
 
our
 
workforce

approach
 
is
 
effective.
We
 
make
 
sure
 
we
 
are
 
keeping
 
everyone
 
up
 
to

on
 
the

of

This
 
combines
 
leader-led
 
engagement,
 
digital

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

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.
 
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
 
collective
 
bargaining
 
coverage
 
of
 
Unite
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
represents
 
around
 
84%
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
Group
 
UK
 
workforce
 
and
 
50%
 
of
 
the
 
global
 
Barclays

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
redundancy
 
and
 
redeployment.
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.
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

challenges
 
or

In
 
our

83%
 
of
 
Barclays

colleagues
 
told
 
us
 
they
 
believe
 
we
 
are

in
 
this
 
together.
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
 
m
 
ore.
 
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.
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

In
 
our

77%

We
 
encourage
 
our

to

from
 
Barclays’
 
performance
 
by
 
enrolling
 
in
 
our

further

This

introduces
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
approach
 
to
 
managing
 
and
 
identifying
 
risks,
 
and
 
for
 
fostering
 
a
 
strong

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
 
Barclays
Group.
 
It
 
is
 
approved
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board
 
on
 
recommendation
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
Chief
 
Risk
 
Officer
 
(CRO);
 
it
 
is
 
then
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
with
 
modifications
 
where
 
needed.
 
It
 
supports
 
senior
 
management
 
in
 
effective
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
developing
 
a

culture.

"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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
(see
 
managing
 
risks
 
in
 
the
 
strategic
 
report
 
section)
 
and
 
sets
 
out
 
associated
 
responsibilities
 
and
expectations
 
around
 
risk
 
management.
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
current
 
and
 
evolving
 
risk
profile,
 
allowing
 
strategic
 
and
 
financial
 
decisions
 
to
 
be
 
made
 
on
 
an
 
informed
 
basis.
The
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
total
 
risk
 
appetite
 
and
 
its
 
allocation
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
are
 
supported
 
by
 
limits
 
to
 
control
 
exposures
 
and
 
activities
that
 
have
 
material
 
concentration
 
risk
 
implications.

There
 
are
 
two
 
Board-level
 
forums
 
which
 
oversee
 
the
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
ERMF
 
and
 
review
 
and

and
 
the
 
Barclays

Additionally,
 
the

Finally,
 
the
Barclays

Board
 
receives
 
regular
 
information
 
on
 
the

set
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays

The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC

One
 
of
 
the

is
 
the

is
 
approved

and
 
disseminated
 
across
 
legal

The

than
 
allocated
 
to
 
it
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays

The
 
Barclays

Group’s
 
risk
 
profile
 
against
 
the
 
agreed
 
appetite.
Where
 
actual
 
performance
 
differs
 
from
 
expectations,
 
the
 
actions
 
taken
 
by
 
management
 
are
 
reviewed
 
to

that
 
the
 
BRC
 
is
 
comfortable
with
 
them.
 
The

performance
 
trends
 
in
 
the
 
key

The
 
BRC
 
also
 
reviews
 
certain

The

has

of
 
risks
 
to
 
which
 
its

are
 
exposed.
 
Material

are
 
those
 
to

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
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
caused
 
disruption
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group's
 
customers,
 
suppliers
 
and
 
staff
 
globally.
 
Most
 
jurisdictions
 
in
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
Bank
 
Group
 
continues
 
to
 
monitor
 
the
 
situation
 
closely.
 
However,
 
despite
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
contingency
 
plans
 
established
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
potential
 
litigation
 
costs
 
(including
 
regulatory
 
fines,
penalties
 
and
 
other
 
sanctions),
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage.
In
 
many
 
of
 
the
 
jurisdictions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
customers
 
and
 
therefore
 
the
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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
certain
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group's
 
portfolios
 
and
 
may
 
reduce
 
fee
 
income
 
being
 
earned
 
on
 
certain
 
products
 
and
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group's
 
risk
 
weighted
 
assets
 
(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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
required
 
by
 
any
 
government
 
or
 
regulator
 
to
 
offer
 
forbearance
 
or
 
additional
financial
 
relief
 
to
 
borrowers
 
or
 
if
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
unable
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
guarantees
 
provided
 
by
 
governments
 
in
 
connection
 
with
 
financial
support

requirements
 
or
 
otherwise.
As
 
these
 
schemes
 
and
 
other
 
financial
 
support
 
schemes
 
provided
 
by
 
national
 
governments
 
(such

expire,
are
 
withdrawn
 
or
 
are
 
no

economic

may
 
be
 
negatively
 
impacted
 
which
 
may
 
impact
 
the
 
Barclays

Group’s
 
results
of
 
operations
 
and
 
profitability.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Barclays

may
 
experience
 
a
 
higher
 
volume
 
of
 
defaults
 
and
 
delinquencies
 
in
 
certain
portfolios
 
and
 
may
 
initiate
 
collection

actions
 
to
 
recover
 
defaulted
 
debts.
 
Where
 
defaulting
 
borrowers
 
are
 
harmed
 
by
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays

relating
 
to
 
matters
 
such
 
as

The

in
 
particular
 
in
 
the

on
the
 
potential
 
severity
 
of
 
any
 
economic

and
 
post

environment,
 
which
 
from
 
a
 
commercial,
 
regulatory
 
and

perspective
could
 
be
 
significantly
 
different
 
to
 
past
 
crises
 
and
 
persist
 
for
 
a
 
prolonged
 
period.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
led
 
to
 
a
 
weakening
 
in

(GDP)
 
in
 
most
 
jurisdictions
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
As
 
a
 
result,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
experienced
 
higher
 
ECLs
 
in
 
2020
 
compared
 
to
 
prior
 
periods
 
and
 
this
 
trend
 
ma
 
y
 
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

and
 
other
 
support
 
measures.

In

to
 
potentially
 
unfavourable
 
global
 
and
 
local

A
 
deterioration
 
in
 
global
 
or

may
 
lead
 
to
 
(among
 
other

(i)
 
deteriorating
 
business,

investor
 
confidence
 
and
 
lower
 
levels
 
of
 
fixed

growth,
 
which
 
in
 
turn
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
lower

including
lower

for
 
borrowing
 
from
 
creditworthy

(ii)
 
higher
 
default

In

ability
 
to
 
borrow
 
from
 
other
 
financial

from
 
external
 
investors
 
may
 
be
 
affected
 
by
 
deteriorating
economic
 
conditions
 
and

disruption.
Geopolitical
 
events
 
may
 
lead
 
to
 
further
 
financial

and
 
affect
 
economic
 
growth.
 
In
 
particular:
 
Global
 
GDP
 
growth
 
weakened
 
sharply
 
in
 
the
 
first
 
half
 
of
 
2020
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
Whilst
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
central
 
banks
 
and
governments
 
implemented
 
financial
 
stimulus
 
packages
 
to
 
counter
 
the
 
economic
 
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

or
 
affect
 
the
 
Barclays

In
 
the
 
UK,
 
the
 
decision
 
to
 
leave
 
the
 
European

(EU)
 
may
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
further
 
economic

significant
 
continued
 
changes
 
in
 
US
 
policy
 
in
 
certain
 
sectors
 
(including
 
trade,

may
 
have
 
an

China),
 
an
unexpected
 
rise
 
in

could
 
lead
 
to

of
 
impairment,
 
resulting
 
in
 
a
 
negative
impact
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays

profitability.
An
 
escalation
 
in
 
geopolitical

or
 
increased
 
use
 
of

measures
 
may
 
negatively
 
impact
 
the
 
Barclays

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

credit-led
 
boom.
 
Deterioration
 
in
 
emerging
 
markets
 
could
 
affect
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
if
 
it
 
results
 
in
 
higher
 
impairment
 
charges
 
via
 
sovereign
 
or
 
counterparty
 
defaults.

Unstable
 
economic

could
 
result
 
in
 
(among
 
other

one

it
 
operates,
 
with
 
lower
 
growth,
 
higher
 
unemployment
 
and
falling

which
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
increased

to
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
the

increased

(in

Current
 
provision
 
of
 
financial
 
services
The
 
TCA
 
does
 
not
 
cover
 
financial
 
services
 
regulation.
 
Accordingly,
 
UK-based
 
entities
 
within
 
the
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
EEA
 
hub
 
(Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
PLC),
 
whilst
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC
 
remains
 
focused
 
on
 
UK
 
customers.
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
decisions
 
expire,
 
and
are
 
not
 
replaced,
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
cross-border
 
banking
 
and
 
investment
 
services
 
across
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
may
 
become
 
more
 
complex
and
 
costly
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business
 
and
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
and
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
the

modifying
 
its

activities
 
altogether
 
or
not
 
expanding
 
in
 
areas
 
despite
 
otherwise
 
attractive
 
potential
 
returns.
 
This
 
may
 
also
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
if,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland

expands
further
 
and,
 
as

iv)
The
 
impact
 
of
 
interest
 
rate
 
changes
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
profitability
Changes
 
to
 
interest
 
rates
 
are
 
significant
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
especially
 
given
 
the
 
uncertainty
 
as
 
to
 
the
 
direction
 
of
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
the
 
pace
 
at
 
which
 
they
 
may
 
change
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
net
 
interest
 
margins
 
(the
 
difference
 
between
 
its
 
lending
 
income
 
and
 
borrowing
 
costs)
and
 
could
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
profitability
 
and
 
prospects
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
Interest
 
rate
 
rises
 
could
 
positively
 
impact
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
liquid
 
asset
portfolio.
 
Consequently,
 
this
 
could
 
create
 
more
 
volatility
 
than
 
expected
 
through
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
Fair
 
Value
 
through
 
Other
Comprehensive
 
Income
 
(FVOCI)
 
reserves.
v)
Competition
 
in
 
the
 
banking
 
and
 
financial
 
services
 
industry
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
expects
 
that
 
competition
 
in
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
industry
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
be
 
intense
 
and
 
may
 
have
 
a
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
products
 
and
 
services,
 
which
 
could
 
reduce
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group's
 
revenues
 
and
 
profitability,
 
or
 
may
 
cause
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
ability
to
 
attract
 
or
 
retain
 
clients
 
and
 
customers.
 
Any
 
such
 
impact
 
could,
 
in
 
turn,
 
reduce
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
revenues.
vi)
Regulatory
 
change
 
agenda
 
and
 
impact
 
on
 
business
 
model
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
capital
 
and
 
risk
management
 
strategies
 
and/or
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
deciding
 
to

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

The
 
impact
 
of
 
climate
 
change
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
framework
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
regulatory
 
expectations,
 
and
 
adapting
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
portfolios.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
premises
 
and
 
resilience
 
may
 
also
 
suffer
 
physical
damage
 
due
 
to
 
weather
 
events
 
leading
 
to
 
increased
 
costs
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
As
 
the
 
economy
 
transitions
 
to
 
a
 
low-carbon
 
economy,
 
financial
 
institutions
 
such
 
as
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
may
 
face
 
significant
 
and
 
rapid
developments
 
in
 
stakeholder
 
expectations,
 
policy,
 
law
 
and
 
regulation
 
which
 
could
 
impact
 
the
 
lending
 
activities
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
undertakes,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
its
 
lending
 
portfolios,
 
and
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
assets.
 
As
 
sentiment
towards
 
climate
 
change
 
shifts
 
and
 
societal
 
preferences
 
change,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
clients,
 
higher
 
ECLs,
 
and
 
increased
 
charge-offs
 
and
defaults
 
among
 
retail
 
customers.
If
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
amount
 
of
 
interest
 
payable
 
that
 
are
 
included
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities)
 
that
 
use
 
these
 
reference
 
rates
 
and
indices
 
and
 
introduce
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
risks
 
for
 
the

Specific
 
sectors
 
and
 
concentrations
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank

is
 
subject
 
to
 
risks
 
arising
 
from
 
changes
 
in

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
unsecured
 
debt
 
payments
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
increased
 
arrears
 
in
 
both
 
unsecured
 
and
secured
 
products.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
exposed
 
to
 
the
 
adverse
 
credit

of
 
unsecured

particularly
 
in
 
the
 
US

Barclays

exposure
 
is
 
vulnerable
 
to
 
the
 
impacts
 
of
 
the
 
ongoing
 
COVID-19
 
stress,
 
with
particular
 
weakness
 
in
 
retail

as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
reduced
 
rent
 
collections
 
and

The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
takes
 
on
 
sub-investment
 
grade
 
underwriting
 
exposure,
 
including
 
single
 
name
risk,
 
particularly
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
and
 
Europe.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
or
 
an
 
increased
 
capital
 
requirement
should
 
there
 
be
 
a
 
need
 
to
 
hold
 
the
 
exposure
 
for
 
an

I
talian
 
mortgage
 
and
 
wholesale
 
exposure
.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
results
 
of
 
operations
 
including,
 
but
 
not
 
limited
 
to,
increased

losses
 
and
 
higher

The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group
 
has
 
exposure
 
to
 
globally.
 
These
 
factors
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays

The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

and
 
other
 
institutional

The

such
 
counterparties
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
significant
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
carrying

In
 
addition,
 
where
 
such
 
counterparty
 
risk
 
has
 
been
 
mitigated
 
by
 
taking
 
collateral,
 
credit

may

if
 
the

in
 
the
 
value
 
of

Economic
 
and

market
 
uncertainties
 
remain
 
elevated,
 
as
 
the
 
path
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
is
 
inherently
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict.
 
Further

COVID-19
 
pandemic,
 
deployment
 
of
 
COVID-19
 
vaccines
 
not
 
being
 
as

intensifying

that
 
weighs
on
 
market
 
sentiment,
 
and
 
deteriorating
 
trade

geopolitical
 
tensions
 
are
 
some
 
of
 
the
 
factors
 
that
 
could
 
heighten
 
market
 
risks
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
Bank
 
Group’s
 
portfolios.
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

and
 
their
 
associated
volatilities
 
change.
It
 
is
 
difficult
 
to
 
predict
 
changes
 
in
 
market

could
 
have
 
a

risk
There
 
are
 
three
 
primary
 
types
 
of
 
treasury
 
and
 
capital
 
risk
 
faced
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays

Group:
a)
 
Liquidity
 
risk
 
Liquidity
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
fail
 
to
meet
 
regulatory
 
liquidity
 
standards
 
or
 
be
 
unable
 
to
 
support
 
day-to-day
 
banking
 
activities.
 
Key
 
liquidity
 
risks
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
faces
include:
The
 
stability
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
failing
 
to
 
preserve
 
the
 
current
 
level
 
of
 
customer
 
and
investor
 
confidence.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
also
 
regularly
 
accesses
 
the
 
money

capital
 
markets
 
to
 
provide
 
short-term
 
and
 
long-term
funding
 
to
 
support
 
its

Several
 
factors,
 
including
 
adverse
 
macroeconomic

Whilst

reductions
 
in
 
a
 
credit
 
rating
 
(in
 
particular,
 
any

may
 
affect
 
the
 
Barclays

access
 
to
 
the

effect
 
on

Capital
 
risk
 
Capital
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
pension
 
plans.
 
Key
 
capital
 
risks
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
faces
 
include:
Failure
 
to
 
meet
 
prudential
 
capital
 
requirements:
This
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group's
 
capital
 
or
 
leverage
 
position.
Adverse
 
changes
 
in
 
FX

impacting
 
capital

The
 
Barclays

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
ratios
 
are
 
sensitive
 
to
 
foreign
 
currency
 
movements.
 
Failure
 
to
appropriately
 
manage
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
balance
 
sheet
 
to
 
take
 
account
 
of

Adverse
 
movements
 
in
 
pension
 
assets
 
and

pension
 
schemes
 
could
result
 
in
 
deficits
 
on
 
a
 
funding
 
and/or
 
accounting
 
basis.
 
This
 
could
 
lead
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
making
 
substantial
 
additional
 
contributions
to
 
its
 
pension
 
plans
 
and/or
 
a

in
 
its
 
capital

Under
 
IAS
 
19,
 
the
 
liabilities
 
discount
 
rate
 
is
 
derived
 
from
 
the
 
yields
 
of
 
high

Therefore,
 
the
 
valuation
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
defined
 
benefits
 
schemes
 
would
 
be
 
adversely
 
affected
 
by
 
a
prolonged
 
fall
 
in
 
the

rate
 
due
 
to
 
a
 
persistent
 
low

and/or
 
credit
 
spread
 
environment.
 
Inflation
 
is
 
another
 
significant
 
risk
driver
 
to
 
the
 
pension
 
fund
 
as
 
the
 
liabilities
 
are
 
adversely
 
impacted
 
by
 
an
 
increase

the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
from

where
 
the
 
root

Examples
 
include:
 
a)
 
Operational

The
 
Barclays

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
across
 
the
 
financial
services
 
industry,
 
whether
 
arising
 
through
 
impacts
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
technology
 
systems
 
or
 
availability
 
of

on
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays

may
 
result
 
in
 
significant
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
costs
 
to
reimburse
 
losses
 
incurred
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group,
 
like
 
other
 
financial
 
institutions,
 
experiences
 
numerous
 
attempts
 
to
 
compromise
 
its
 
cyber
 
security.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
Bank
 
Group
 
in
 
numerous
 
ways,
 
including
 
attacks
 
on
 
networks,
 
systems,
 
or
 
devices
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
or
 
parties
 
such
 
as
 
service
providers
 
and
 
other
 
suppliers,
 
counterparties,
 
employees,
 
contractors,
 
customers
 
or
 
clients,
 
presenting
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
with
 
a
 
vast
and
 
complex
 
defence
 
perimeter.
 
Moreover,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
effectively
defend
 
against
 
certain
 
threats.
A
 
failure
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
adherence
 
to
 
its
 
cyber
 
security
 
policies,
 
procedures
 
or
 
controls,
 
employee
 
malfeasance,
 
and
 
human,
governance
 
or
 
technological
 
error
 
could
 
also
 
compromise
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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)

which
 
could

reduce
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
cost
 
base,
 
it
 
may,
 
conversely,
 
reduce
 
the
 
commissions,
 
fees
 
and
 
margins
 
made
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
on
 
these
 
transactions
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and

d)
 
External
 
fraud
The
 
nature
 
of
 
fraud
 
is
 
wide-ranging
 
and
 
continues
 
to
 
evolve,
 
as
 
criminals
 
continually
 
seek
 
opportunities
 
to
 
target
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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).
 
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
 
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
 
Barclays
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
e)
 
Data
 
management
 
and
 
information
 
protection
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
holds
 
and
 
processes
 
large
 
volumes
 
of
 
data,
 
including
 
personally
 
identifiable
 
information,
 
intellectual
 
property,
 
and
financial
 
data
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
clients
 
and
 
customers,
 
and
 
prospective
 
clients
 
and

of
 
the
 
Barclays

Group’s
 
clients
 
and
 
customers;
 
(iii)
 
employees
 
and
 
prospective
 
employees;
 
and
 
(iv)
 
employees
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
Bank
 
Group’s
 
suppliers,
 
counterparties
 
and
 
other
 
external
 
parties.
 
The
 
international
 
nature
 
of
 
both
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
compliance
 
and
 
operating
 
costs;
 
(ii)
 
impact
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
new
 
products
 
or
 
services,
 
impact
 
the
offering
 
of
 
existing
 
products
 
or

or
 
affect
 
how
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
are
 
offered
 
to
 
clients
 
and
 
customers;
 
(iii)
 
demand
 
significant
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
management;
 
and
 
(iv)
 
require
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
review
 
some
 
elements
 
of
 
the
 
structure
 
of
 
its
businesses,
 
operations
 
and
 
systems
 
in
 
less
 
efficient
 
ways.
 
Concerns
 
regarding
 
the
 
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
measures
 
to
 
safeguard
 
personal
 
information,
 
or
 
even
 
the
 
perception
 
that
those
 
measures
 
are
 
inadequate,
 
could
 
expose
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
unavailability
 
of
 
data
 
or
 
data
 
integrity
 
issues
and/or
 
cause
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
lose
 
existing
 
or
 
potential
 
clients
 
and
 
customers,
 
and
 
thereby
 
reduce
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
revenues.
 
Furthermore,
 
any
 
failure
 
or
 
perceived
 
failure
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
comply
 
with
 
applicable
 
privacy
 
or
 
data
 
protection
 
laws
and
 
regulations
 
may
 
subject
 
it
 
to
 
potential
 
contractual
 
liability,
 
litigation,
 
regulatory
 
or
 
other
 
government
 
action
 
(including
 
significant
 
regulatory
fines)
 
and
 
require
 
changes
 
to
 
certain
 
operations
 
or
 
practices
 
which
 
could
 
also
 
inhibit
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
development
 
or
 
marketing
 
of
certain
 
products
 
or
 
services,
 
or
 
increase
 
the
 
costs
 
of
 
offering
 
them
 
to
 
customers.
 
Any
 
of
 
these
 
events
 
could
 
damage
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
reputation
 
and
 
otherwise
 
materially
 
adversely
 
affect
 
its
 
business,

f)
 
Algorithmic
 
trading
In
 
some
 
areas
 
of
 
the

trading
 
algorithms
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
price
 
and

manage
 
client
 
and
 
principal
 
transactions.
 
An
algorithmic
 
error
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
erroneous
 
or
 
duplicated
 
transactions,
 
a
 
system
 
outage,
 
or
 
impact
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank

Processing
 
error
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
control,
 
such
 
as
 
a
 
spike
 
in
transaction
 
volume,
 
could
 
adversely
 
affect
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
ability
 
to
 
process
 
transactions
 
or
 
provide
 
banking
 
and
 
payment
 
services.
Processing
 
errors
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
customers,
 
clients
 
and
 
counterparties
(including
 
them
 
suffering
 
financial
 
loss)
 
and/or
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
loss
 
of
 
confidence
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
which,
 
in
 
turn,
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
h)
 
Supplier
 
exposure
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
depends
 
on
 
suppliers
 
for
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
many
 
of
 
its
 
services
 
and
 
the
 
development
 
of
 
technology.
 
Whilst
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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,
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
beyond
 
what
 
was
 
anticipated
 
or
 
provided
for.
 
Further
 
development
 
of
 
accounting
 
standards
 
and
 
capital
 
interpretations
 
could
 
also
 
materially
 
impact
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
results
 
of
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
j)
 
Tax
 
risk
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
In
 
addition,
 
increasing
 
reporting
 
and
 
disclosure
requirements
 
around
 
the
 
world
 
and
 
the
 
digitisation
 
of
 
the
 
administration
 
of
 
tax
 
has
 
potential
 
to
 
increase
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
tax
compliance
 
obligations
 
further.
k)
 
Ability
 
to
 
hire
 
and
 
retain
 
appropriately
 
qualified
 
employees
As
 
a
 
regulated
 
financial
 
institution,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
requires
 
diversified
 
and
 
specialist
 
skilled
 
colleagues.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.

Model

the

based
 
on
 
incorrect
 
or
 
misused
 
model
 
outputs
and
 
reports.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
material
 
impact
 
on
 
the
 
accuracy
 
and
 
completeness
 
of
 
its
 
risk
 
and
 
financial
 
metrics.
Model
 
errors
 
or
 
misuse
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
(among
 
other
 
things)
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
making
 
inappropriate
 
business
 
decisions
 
and/or
inaccuracies
 
or
 
errors
 
being
 
identified
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
risk
 
management
 
and
 
regulatory
 
reporting
 
processes.
 
This
 
could
 
result
 
in
significant
 
financial
 
loss,
 
imposition
 
of
 
additional
 
capital
 
requirements,
 
enhanced
 
regulatory
 
supervision
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage,
 
all
 
of
 
which
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays

Conduct
 
risk
Conduct
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
of
 
detriment
 
to
 
customers,
 
clients,
 
market
 
integrity,
 
effective
 
competition
 
or
 
the
 
Barclays

from
 
the
inappropriate
 
supply
 
of
 
financial
 
services,
 
including
 
instances
 
of
 
wilful
 
or
 
negligent
 
misconduct.
 
This
 
risk
 
could
 
manifest
 
itself
 
in
 
a
 
variety
 
of
ways:
a)
 
Employee
 
misconduct
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
are
 
exposed
 
to
 
risk
 
from
 
potential
 
non-compliance
 
with
 
its
 
policies
 
and
 
standards
 
and
 
instances
 
of
wilful
 
and
 
negligent
 
misconduct
 
by
 
employees,
 
all
 
of
 
which
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
potential
 
customer
 
and
 
client
 
detriment,
 
enforcement
 
action
 
(including
regulatory
 
fines
 
and/or
 
sanctions),
 
increased
 
operation
 
and
 
compliance
 
costs,
 
redress
 
or
 
remediation
 
or
 
reputational
 
damage
 
which
 
in
 
turn
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business,
 
results
 
of
 
operations,
 
financial
 
condition
 
and
 
prospects.
 
Examples
of
 
employee
 
misconduct
 
which
 
could
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
business
 
include
 
(i)
 
employees
 
improperly
selling
 
or
 
marketing
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
products
 
and
 
services;
 
(ii)
 
employees
 
engaging
 
in
 
insider
 
trading,
 
market
 
manipulation
 
or
unauthorised
 
trading;
 
or
 
(iii)
 
employees
 
misappropriating
 
confidential
 
or
 
proprietary
 
information
 
belonging
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
its
customers
 
or
 
third
 
parties.
 
These
 
risks
 
may
 
be
 
exacerbated
 
in
 
circumstances
 
where
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
unable
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
physical
oversight
 
and
 
supervision
 
of
 
employees
 
(such
 
as
 
during
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
where
 
employees
 
have
 
worked
 
remotely).
 
b)
 
Customer
 
engagement
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
must
 
ensure
 
that
 
its
 
customers,
 
particularly
 
those
 
that
 
are
 
vulnerable,
 
are
 
able
 
to
 
make
 
well-informed
 
decisions
 
on
how
 
best
 
to
 
use
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
address
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
including
 
the
 
adherence
 
to
 
regulatory
 
and
 
legal
 
requirements
 
on
complaint
 
handling.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
at
 
risk
 
of
 
financial
 
loss
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage
 
as
 
a
 
result.
c)
 
Product
 
design
 
and
 
review
 
risk
Products
 
and
 
services
 
must
 
meet
 
the
 
needs
 
of
 
clients,
 
customers,
 
markets
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
throughout
 
their
 
lifecycle,
 
However,
there
 
is
 
a
 
risk
 
that
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
review
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
fail
 
to
 
reasonably
 
consider
 
and
 
address
 
potential
 
or
actual
 
negative
 
outcomes,
 
which
 
may
 
result
 
in
 
customer
 
detriment,
 
enforcement
 
action
 
(including
 
regulatory
 
fines
 
and/or
 
sanctions),
 
redress
and
 
remediation
 
and
 
reputational
 
damage.
 
Both
 
the
 
design
 
and
 
review
 
of
 
products
 
and
 
services
 
are
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
of
 
focus
 
for
 
regulators
 
and
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
and
 
this
 
focus
 
is
 
set
 
to
 
continue
 
in
 
2021.
d)
 
Financial
 
crime
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
regulators,
 
including
 
severe
penalties,
 
which
 
may
 
have
 
a
 
material
 
adverse
 
effect
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group.

vii)
 
Reputation
 
risk
Reputation
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
risk
 
that
 
an
 
action,
 
transaction,
 
investment,
 
event,
 
decision
 
or
 
business
 
relationship
 
will
 
reduce
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group’s
 
integrity
 
and
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
reputation
 
and
 
any
 
one
transaction,
 
investment
 
or
 
event
 
(in
 
the
 
perception
 
of
 
key
 
stakeholders)
 
can
 
reduce
 
trust
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
integrity
 
and
competence.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
conducts
 
its
 
business
 
activities,
 
or
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

Legal
 
risk
 
and
 
legal,
 
competition

regulatory
 
matters
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
conducts
 
activities
 
in
 
a
 
highly
 
regulated
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
and
 
business
 
practices.
 
In
 
each
 
case,
 
this
 
exposes
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
its
 
employees
 
to
the
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
the
 
imposition
 
of
 
penalties,
 
damages
 
or
 
fines
 
from
 
the
 
failure
 
of
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
meet
 
their
 
respective
legal
 
obligations,
 
including
 
legal
 
or
 
contractual
 
requirements.
 
Legal
 
risk
 
may
 
arise
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
any
 
number
 
of
 
the
 
risk
 
material
 
existing
 
and
emerging
 
risks
 
identified
 
above.
A
 
breach

applicable
 
legislation
 
and/or
 
regulations
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
or
 
its

could
 
result
 
in
 
criminal
 
prosecution,
regulatory
 
censure,
 
potentially
 
significant
 
fines
 
and
 
other
 
sanctions.
 
Where
 
clients,
 
customers
 
or
 
other
 
third
 
parties
 
are
 
harmed
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
Bank

conduct,
 
this
 
may
 
also
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
civil
 
legal
 
proceedings,
 
including
 
class
 
actions.
 
Other
 
legal
 
disputes
 
may
 
also
 
arise
 
between
the
 
Barclays

In
 
addition
 
to
matters
 
specifically
 
described
 
in
 
Note
 
25,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
engaged
 
in
 
various
 
other
 
legal
 
proceedings
 
which
 
arise
 
in
 
the
 
ordinary
course
 
of
 
business.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
also
 
subject
 
to
 
requests
 
for
 
information,
 
investigations
 
and
 
other

by

activities
 
in
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays

Group
 
is,
 
or
 
has
 
been,
 
engaged.
The

both
 
those

and
 
any

which
 
may

in
 
the

is
 
difficult
 
to

In
 
connection
 
with
 
such

the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
may
 
incur
 
significant
 
expense,
regardless
 
of
 
the
 
ultimate
 
outcome,
 
and
 
any
 
such
 
matters
 
could
 
expose
 
the
 
Barclays

to
 
any
 
of
 
the
 
following
 
outcomes:
 
substantial

Climate
 
Change
 
Risk
 
Management
Overview
The
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
ma
 
in
 
pillars:
 
1.
 
Embedding
 
climate
 
risk
 
into
 
ERMF,
 
via
 
the
 
Climate
 
Change
 
Financial
 
and
 
Operational
 
Risk
 
Policy.
 
2.
 
Developing
 
methodologies
 
and
 
including
 
climate
 
in
 
stress
 
testing
 
(see
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Climate-related
 
financial
 
disclosures
 
2020
in
 
the
 
Risk
 
Management
 
Section).
 
3.
 
Developing
 
a
 
carbon
 
methodology
 
to
 
assess
 
risk
 
within
 
high
 
emitting
 
sectors
 
(see
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Climate-related
 
financial
disclosures
 
2020
 
in
 
the
 
Strategy
 
Section).
 
For

section.
Organisation
 
and
 
Structure
The
 
matters
 
and
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change
 
are
 
managed
 
at
 
a
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
level,
 
with
 
additional
 
input
 
and
 
oversight
 
provided
 
by
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
CRO
 
for
 
matters
 
pertaining
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
On
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
BRC
 
reviews
 
and
 
approves
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
approach
 
to
 
managing
 
the
 
financial
and
 
operational
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change.
 
Reputation
 
risk
 
is
 
the
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board,
 
which
 
directly
 
handles
 
the
most
 
material
 
issues
 
facing
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
 
Broader
 
sustainability
 
matters
 
and
 
other
 
reputation
 
risks
 
associated
 
with
 
climate
 
change
 
are
 
co-
ordinated
 
by
 
the
 
Sustainability
 
team.
Two
 
new
 
roles
 
were
 
introduced
 
in
 
2020:
 
a
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
Head
 
of
 
Public
 
Policy
 
and
 
Corporate
 
Responsibility,
 
reporting
 
to
 
the
 
CEO;
 
and
 
a
Barclays
 
Group
 
Head
 
of
 
Climate
 
Risk
 
appointed
 
to
 
develop
 
Barclays’
 
climate
 
risk
 
methodologies
 
and
 
manage
 
climate
 
risk
 
in
 
the
 
portfolio.
Working
 
groups
 
have
 
been
 
established
 
to
 
support
 
management
 
of
 
climate
 
risk
 
at
 
Barclays
 
International
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank

Credit
 
risk
 
mitigation
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
normal
 
practice
 
is
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
the
 
ability
 
to
 
call
 
on
 
collateral
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default
 
of
 
the

The

Treasury
 
Committee
 
together
 
with
 
the
Barclays
 
Group
 
Treasury
 
Committee
 
are
 
responsible
 
for

with
 
Barclays

The

and
 
control
 
environment,
providing
 
second

of
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
capital
 
risk.
For
 
the
 
relevant
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
subsidiaries,
 
local
 
management
 
assures
 
compliance
 
with
 
an
 
entity’s
 
minimum
 
regulatory
 
capital
requirements
 
by
 
reporting
 
to
 
local
 
Asset
 
and
 
Liability
 
Committees
 
(or
 
equivalents)
 
with
 
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
Treasury
 
Committee
and
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
Treasury
 
Committee,
 
as
 
required.
 
In
 
2020,
 
Barclays
 
complied
 
with
 
all
 
regulatory
 
minimum
 
capital
 
requirements.
Pension
 
risk
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
maintains
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
schemes
 
for
 
past
 
and
 
current
 
employees.
 
The
 
ability
 
of
 
schemes
 
to
meet
 
pension
 
payments
 
is
 
achieved
 
with
 
investments
 
and
 
contributions.
 
Pension
 
risk
 
arises
 
because
 
the
 
market
 
value
 
of
 
pension
 
fund
 
assets
 
might
 
decline;
 
investment
 
returns
 
might
 
reduce;
 
or
 
the
 
estimated
 
value
 
of
pension
 
liabilities
 
might
 
increase.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
monitors
 
the
 
pension
 
risks
 
arising
 
from
 
its
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
schemes
 
and
works
 
with
 
Trustees
 
to
 
address
 
shortfalls.
 
In
 
these
 
circumstances
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
could
 
be
 
required
 
or
 
might
 
choose
 
to
 
make
 
extra
contributions
 
to
 
the
 
pension
 
fund.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
main
 
defined
 
benefit
 
scheme
 
was
 
closed
 
to
 
new
 
entrants

Overview
Interest

in
 
the

is
 
driven
 
by
 
customer

activities,
 
investments
 
in
 
the
 
liquid

activities.
 
As
 
per
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
policy
 
to
 
remain
 
within
 
the
 
defined
 
risk
 
appetite,
 
hedging
 
strategies
 
are
 
executed
 
to
 
mitigate
the
 
risks.
 
However,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
remains
 
susceptible
 
to
 
interest

and
 
other
 
non-traded

in
 
the

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
strategy,
 
the
 
stated
 
risk
appetite
 
and
 
stakeholder
 
needs.
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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,

for
 
the
 
management
 
of
 
operational

units
 
where
 
the
 
risk
 
arises.
 
The
 
operational
 
risk
 
profile
 
and

environment
 
is
 
reviewed
 
by
 
management
 
through
 
business
 
risk
committees
 
and
 
control
 
committees.
 
Operational

escalated
 
from
 
these
 
meetings
 
are
 
considered
 
through
 
the

meetings.
 
Depending
 
on
 
their
 
nature,
 
the

Overview
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
uses
 
models
 
to
 
support
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
activities,
 
including
 
informing
 
business
 
decisions
 
and
 
strategies,
 
measuring
and
 
limiting
 
risk,
 
valuing
 
exposures,
 
conducting
 
stress
 
testing,
 
assessing
 
capital
 
adequacy,
 
managing
 
client
 
assets,
 
and
 
meeting
 
reporting
requirements.
 
Since
 
models
 
are
 
imperfect
 
and
 
incomplete
 
representations
 
of
 
reality,
 
they
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
errors
 
affecting
 
the
 
accuracy
 
of
 
their
 
output.
 
Model
errors
 
and
 
misuse
 
are
 
the
 
primary
 
sources
 
of
 
model
 
risk.
Organisation,
 
roles
 
and

The
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
dedicated
 
Model
 
Risk

function
 
that
 
consists
 
of
 
four
 
teams:

of
 
the
 
framework
 
and
 
methodology
 
to
 
accurately
 
measure
and
 
quantify
 
model
 
risk.
The
 
model
 
risk
 
management
 
framework
 
consists
 
of
 
the
 
model
 
risk
 
policy
 
and
 
standards.
 
The
 
policy
 
prescribes
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group-wide,
 
end-to-

requirements
 
for
 
the
 
identification,
 
measurement
 
and
 
management
 
of
 
model

implementation,
 
monitoring,
 
annual
 
review,
 
independent
 
validation
 
and
 
approval,
 
change
 
and
 
reporting
 
processes.
 
The
 
policy
 
is
 
supported
 
by
global
 
standards
 
covering
 
model
 
inventory,

The

across
 
the
 
Barclays

The

Legal
 
risk
 
management
The
 
risk
 
of
 
loss
 
or
 
imposition
 
of
 
penalties,
 
damages
 
or
 
fines
 
from
 
the
 
failure
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
legal
 
obligations
 
including
regulatory
 
or
 
contractual
 
requirements.
Overview
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
operates
 
with
 
a
 
level
 
of
 
residual
 
legal
 
risk,
 
for
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
limited
 
tolerance.
Organisation,
 
roles
 
and
 
responsibilities
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
businesses
 
and

have
 
primary
 
responsibility
 
for
 
identifying
 
and
 
escalating
 
legal

in
 
their

so
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
receives
 
support
 
from
 
appropriate
 
legal
 
professionals,
 
working
 
in

risk.
The

Overview
Credit
 
risk
 
represents
 
a
 
significant
 
risk
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
mainly

from

to

and

together
 
with
 
the

credit
 
risk
 
arising
 
from
 
derivative
 
contracts
 
entered
 
into
 
with
 
clients.
The
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
increased
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
judgement
 
that
 
management
 
has
 
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

Overview
As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
net
 
exposure
 
to
 
credit
 
risk,
 
after
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
credit
 
risk
 
mitigation,
 
increased
 
9%
 
to
£719.6bn.
 
Overall,
 
the
 
extent
 
to
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
holds
 
mitigation
 
against
 
its
 
total
 
exposure
 
increased
 
to
 
43%
 
(2019:
 
40%).
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
net
 
exposure
 
to
 
credit
 
risk
 
has
 
been
 
driven
 
by
 
increases
 
in
 
cash
 
and
 
balances
 
at
 
central
 
banks,
 
cash
 
collateral
 
and
 
settlement
 
balances,

assets
 
and

which

and
 
there
 
are
 
no
 
significant

from

Further

on
 
the

of

is

Collateral
 
obtained
Where
 
collateral
 
has
 
been
 
obtained
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
default,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
does
 
not,
 
ordinarily,
 
use
 
such
 
assets
 
for
 
its
 
own
 
operations
and
 
they
 
are
 
usually
 
sold
 
on
 
a
 
timely
 
basis.
 
The

held

the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
as
 
a

Where
 
balances
 
satisfy
 
more
 
than
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
above
 
three
 
criteria
 
for
 
determining
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
risk,
 
the
 
corresponding
 
gross
 
exposure
 
and
 
ECL
 
has
 
been
assigned
 
in
 
order
 
of
 
categories
 
presented.
Stage
 
2
 
exposures
 
are
 
predominantly
 
identified
 
using
 
quantitative
 
tests
 
where
 
the
 
lifetime
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
(PD)
 
has
 
deteriorated
 
more
 
than
a
 
pre-determined
 
amount
 
since
 
origination
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
driven
 
by
 
changes
 
in
 
macro-economic
 
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
 
include
 
£2bn
(2019:
 
£1.7bn)
 
relating
 
to
 
Corporate
 
and
 
Investment
 
Bank,
 
£0.3bn
 
(2019:
 
£0.9bn)
 
relating
 
to
 
Barclaycard
 
International
 
and
 
£0.7bn
 
(2019:
£0.7bn)
 
relating
 
to
 
Private
 
Bank.
A
 
small
 
number
 
of
 
other
 
accounts
 
(2%
 
of
 
impairment
 
allowances
 
and
 
8%
 
of
 
gross
 
exposure)
 
are
 
included
 
in
 
Stage
 
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
 
to
 
delinquency.
 
These
 
balances
 
include
 
items
 
in
Corporate
 
and

Bank
 
for
 
reasons
 
such
 
as
 
outstanding

Economic

The

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
 
loans
 
in
 
particular
 
have
 
remained
stable
 
in
 
US
 
cards
 
(2020:
 
2.5%;
 
2019:
 
2.7%).
 
A
 
similar
 
phenomenon
 
is
 
observed
 
in
 
wholesale,
 
where
 
the
 
average
 
risk
 
profile
 
of
 
the
 
portfolio
 
has
broadly
 
remained
 
stable
 
between
 
Dec’19
 
and
 
Dec’20
 
and
 
has
 
not
 
deteriorated
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
macro-economic
 
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
 
£1.4bn
 
are
 
broadly
 
comprised
 
as
 
follows:
 
Use
 
of
 
expert
 
judgement
 
to
 
adjust
 
the
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
£0.1bn
 
to
 
pre-COVID
 
levels
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
temporary
 
support
measures
 
on
 
underlying
 
customer
 
behaviour.
Adjusting
 
macro-economic
 
variables
 
deemed
 
temporarily
 
influenced
 
by
 
support
 
measures,
 
enabling
 
models
 
to
 
consume
 
the
 
expected
stress,
 
£1.0bn.
 
A
 
£0.3bn
 
adjustment
 
has
 
been
 
applied

analysis
The
 
measurement
 
of
 
ECL
 
involves
 
complexity
 
and
 
judgement,
 
including
 
estimation
 
of
 
PDs,
 
LGD,
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
unbiased
 
future
 
economic
scenarios,
 
estimation
 
of
 
expected
 
lives,
 
estimation
 
of
 
exposures
 
at
 
default
 
(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
 
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
 
(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
 
and
 
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

(including

Exposures
 
allocated
 
to

do
 
not

any
 
of

criteria
 
relies
 
only
 
on
 
observable
 
evidence
 
of
default
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
and
 
not
 
on
 
macroeconomic
 
scenarios.
The
 
Downside
 
2
 
scenario
 
represents
 
a
 
severe
 
global
 
recession
 
with
 
substantial
 
falls
 
in
 
UK
 
GDP.
 
Unemployment
 
rises
 
towards
 
10%
 
in
 
UK
markets
 
and
 
14%
 
in
 
US
 
markets
 
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
 
£17bn
 
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
 
conditions
 
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.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
or
 
customer
 
or
 
the
 
industry
 
in
 
which
 
they
 
are
 
engaged.

For

a
 
range
 
of
 
analytical

is
 
used
 
to
 
derive
 
the

of

of
 
clients
 
at
 
inception
 
and
 
on
 
an
 
ongoing
 
basis.
These
 
credit
 
quality
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
the
 
asset
 
may
 
not
 
be

At
 
the
 
lower
 
end
 
of
 
this
 
grade
 
there
 
are
 
customers
 
that
 
are
 
being
more
 
carefully
 
monitored,
 
for
 
example,
 
corporate
 
customers
 
which
 
are

with
 
a

unsecured

operating
 
outside

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

Diversification
 
effects
 
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

low
 
VaR
 
figures
reported
 
for
 
each

did
 
not

occur

the

day
 
as
 
the
 
high
 
and
 
low
 
VaR
 
reported
 
as
 
a

Consequently,
 
a

for
 
the
 
high

would
 
not

Overview
The
 
efficient
 
management
 
of
 
liquidity
 
is
 
essential
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
retain
 
the
 
confidence
 
of
 
markets
 
and
 
maintain
 
the
sustainability
 
of
 
the
 
business.
 
The
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
control
 
framework
 
is
 
used
 
to
 
manage
 
all
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
exposures
 
under
 
both
 
BAU
 
and
 
stressed
conditions.
 
The
 
framework
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
maintain
 
liquidity
 
resources
 
that
 
are
 
sufficient
 
in
 
amount,
 
quality
 
and
 
funding
 
tenor
 
profile
 
to
 
support
the
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
appetite
 
as
 
expressed
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
Board.
 
The
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
appetite
 
is
 
monitored
 
against
 
both
 
internal
 
and
regulatory
 
liquidity
 
metrics.
 
For
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
liquidity
 
management,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
its
 
subsidiary
 
Barclays
 
Capital
 
Securities
 
Limited,
 
a
 
UK
 
broker
 
dealer
 
entity,
are
 
monitored
 
on
 
a
 
combined
 
basis
 
by
 
the
 
PRA
 
under
 
a
 
Domestic
 
Liquidity
 
Sub-Group
 
(Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
DoLSub)
 
arrangement.
Liquidity
 
risk
 
stress

The
 
liquidity
 
risk
 
assessment
 
measures
 
the
 
potential
 
contractual
 
and
 
contingent
 
stress
 
outflows
 
under
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
stress
 
scenarios,
 
which
 
are
then
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
size
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
that
 
is
 
immediately
 
available
 
to
 
meet
 
anticipated
 
outflows
 
if
 
a
 
stress
 
occurs.
 
The
 
scenarios
include
 
a
 
30
 
day
 
Barclays-specific
 
stress
 
event,
 
a
 
90
 
day
 
market-wide
 
stress
 
event
 
and
 
a
 
30
 
day
 
combined
 
scenario
 
consisting
 
of
 
both
 
a
Barclays
 
specific
 
and
 
market-wide
 
stress
 
event.
 
The
 
CRR

Liquidity

(LCR)
 
requirement
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
relative
 
stability
 
of
 
different
 
sources
 
of
funding
 
and
 
potential
 
incremental
 
funding
 
requirements
 
in
 
a
 
stress.
 
The
 
LCR
 
is
 
designed
 
to
 
promote
 
short-term
 
resilience
 
of
 
a
 
bank’s
 
liquidity
risk
 
profile
 
by
 
holding
 
sufficient
 
high
 
quality
 
liquid
 
assets
 
to
 
survive
 
an
 
acute
 
stress
 
scenario
 
lasting
 
for
 
30
 
days.
 
As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
DoLSub
 
held
 
eligible
 
liquid
 
assets
 
well
 
above
 
100%
 
of
 
net
 
stressed
 
outflows
 
to
 
its
 
internal
 
and
regulatory
 
requirements.
 
The
 
split
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
between
 
cash
 
and
 
deposits
 
with
 
central
 
banks,
 
government
 
bonds
 
and
 
other
 
eligible
securities
 
is
 
broadly
 
similar
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
A
 
significant
 
proportion
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
is
 
located
 
in
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC.
 
The
 
residual
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
liquidity
pool,
 
which
 
is
 
predominantly
 
in
 
the
 
US
 
subsidiaries,
 
is
 
held
 
against
 
entity-specific
 
stress
 
outflows
 
and
 
local
 
regulatory
 
requirements.
The
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
increased
 
to
 
£206bn
 
(December
 
2019:
 
£169bn)
 
and
 
the
 
LCR
 
remained
 
above
 
the
 
100%
 
regulatory
 
requirement
 
at
 
145%
(December
 
2019:141%).
 
The
 
increase
 
in
 
the
 
liquidity
 
pool
 
was
 
driven
 
by
 
a
 
14%
 
growth
 
in
 
deposits
 
and
 
lower
 
unsecured
 
lending
 
in
 
Consumer,
Cards
 
and
 
Payments.
 
The
 
growth
 
in
 
deposits
 
was
 
largely
 
a
 
consequence
 
of
 
government
 
and
 
central
 
bank
 
policy
 
response
 
to
 
the
 
COVID19
pandemic.

it
 
forms
 
part
 
of
 
UK
 
law
 
pursuant
to
 
the
 
European
 
Union
 
(Withdrawal)
 
Act
 
2018
 
and
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
temporary
 
transitional
 
powers
 
(TTP)
 
available
 
to

period
 
until
 
31
 
March
 
2022,
 
as
 
at
 
the
 
applicable
reporting
 
date.
 
Throughout
 
the
 
TTP
 
period,
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
 
England
 
and
 
PRA
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
review
 
the
 
UK
 
legislation
 
framework
 
and
 
any
disclosures
 
made
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
will
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
any
 
resulting
 
guidance.
Following
 
its
 
stated
 
intention
 
to
 
consult,
 
on
 
12
 
February
2021
 
the
 
PRA
 
launched
 
a
 
consultation
 
on
 
certain
 
items
 
within
 
the
 
Basel
 
standards
 
that
 
remain
 
to
 
be
 
implemented
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
setting
out
 
proposed
 
new
 
PRA
 
CRR
 
rules.
The
 
following
 
regulatory
 
updates
 
formed
 
part
 
of
 
CRR
 
as
 
amended
 
by
 
CRR
 
II
 
prior
 
to
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
and
 
subsequently
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
UK
 
law
as
 
defined
 
above.
On
 
22
 
April
 
2020,
 
the
 
regulatory
 
technical
 
standards
 
on
 
prudent
 
valuation
 
were
 
amended
 
to
 
include
 
an
 
increase
 
to
 
diversification
 
factors
 
applied
to
 
certain
 
additional
 
valuation
 
adjustments.
 
The
 
amendments
 
temporarily
 
reduced
 
the
 
additional
 
value
 
adjustment
 
deduction
 
(PVA)
 
and
 
were
applied
 
until
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
inclusive.
On
 
27
 
June
 
2020,
 
CRR
 
as
 
amended
 
by
 
CRR
 
II
 
was
 
further
 
amended
 
to
 
accelerate
 
specific
 
CRR
 
II
 
measures
 
and
 
implement
 
a
 
new
 
IFRS
 
9
transitional
 
relief
 
calculation.
 
Previously
 
due
 
to
 
be
 
implemented
 
in
 
June
 
2021,
 
the
 
accelerated
 
measures
 
primarily
 
relate
 
to
 
the
 
CRR
 
leverage
calculation
 
to
 
include
 
additional
 
settlement
 
netting
 
and
 
limited
 
changes
 
to
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
RWAs.
The
 
IFRS
 
9
 
transitional
 
arrangements
 
have
 
been
 
extended
 
by
 
two
 
years
 
and
 
a
 
new
 
modified
 
calculation
 
has
 
been
 
introduced.
 
100%
 
relief
 
will
be
 
applied
 
to
 
increases
 
in
 
Stage
 
1
 
and
 
Stage
 
2
 
provisions
 
from
 
1
 
January

50%

exposed
 
to
 
two
 
sources
 
of
 
foreign

risk.
a)
 
Transactional
 
foreign

exposure
Transactional
 
foreign
 
currency
 
exposures
 
represent
 
exposure
 
on
 
banking

of
 
the
 
transacting
 
entity.
The

outside
 
the

The

approximately
 
97%
 
(2019:
 
97%)
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays

total

obligations
globally.
 
As
 
such
 
this

section
 
focuses
 
exclusively
 
on
 
the
 
UKRF.
 
The
 
UKRF
 
is
 
closed
 
to
 
new
 
entrants
 
and
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
new
 
final

benefit
 
being
 
accrued.
 
Existing
 
active
 
members
 
accrue
 
a
 
combination
 
of
 
a
 
cash
 
balance
 
benefit
 
and
 
a
 
defined
 
contribution
 
element.
 
Pension
 
risk
arises
 
as
 
the
 
market
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
pension
 
fund
 
assets
 
may
 
decline,
 
investment
 
returns
 
may
 
reduce
 
or
 
the

liabilities
 
may

Assets
The
 
Trustee
 
Board
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
 
defines
 
its
 
overall
 
long-term
 
investment
 
strategy
 
with
 
investments
 
across
 
a
 
broad
 
range
 
of
 
asset
 
classes.
 
This
results
 
in
 
an
 
appropriate
 
mix
 
of
 
return
 
seeking
 
assets
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
liability
 
matching
 
assets
 
to
 
better
 
match
 
future
 
pension
 
obligations.
 
The
 
two
largest
 
market
 
risks
 
within
 
the
 
asset
 
portfolio
 
relate
 
to
 
interest
 
rates
 
and
 
equities.
 
The
 
split
 
of
 
scheme
 
assets
 
is
 
shown
 
within
 
Note
 
31
 
to
 
the
financial
 
statements.
 
The
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF
 
assets
 
was
 
£33.9bn
 
as
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
(2019:
 
£31.4bn).
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
defined
 
benefit
 
schemes
 
and
 
this
 
risk
 
is
 
set
 
to
 
reduce
 
over
 
time
 
as
 
the
 
main
defined
 
benefit
 
scheme
 
is
 
closed
 
to

During

was
 
driven
 
by

Risk
 
measurement
In
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
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
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
Board
 
Risk
 
Committee,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
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
 
31
 
to
the
 
financial
 
statements).
 
The
 
Trustee
 
receives
 
quarterly
 
Va
 
R
 
measures
 
on
 
a
 
funding
 
basis.
The
 
pension
 
liability
 
is
 
also
 
sensitive
 
to
 
post-retirement
 
mortality
 
assumptions
 
which
 
are
 
reviewed
 
regularly
 
(see
 
Note
 
31
 
to
 
the
 
financial
statements
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
defined

pension
 
schemes
 
affects
 
shareholders’
 
equity
 
in
 
two
 
ways:
 
An
 
IAS
 
19
 
deficit
 
is
 
treated
 
as
 
a
 
liability
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
balance
 
sheet
 
and
 
an
 
IAS19
 
surplus
 
as
 
an
 
asset.
 
Movements
 
in
 
the
IAS19
 
position
 
due
 
to
 
remeasurements,
 
including
 
actuarial
 
losses,
 
are
 
recognised
 
immediately

the
 
Annual

Note
 
that
 
this

assumes
 
an

The
 
model
 
does
 
not

does
 
recognise

relevant.
 
The
 
main

assumptions
 
are:
 
(i)
 
one-year
 
ahead
 
time
 
horizon;
 
(ii)

Overview
Operational
 
risks
 
are
 
inherent
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

Premises
 
Risk;
 
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
 
themes
 
represent
 
threats
 
to
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
that
 
extend
 
across
 
multiple
 
risk
 
types,
 
and
 
therefore
require
 
an
 
integrated
 
risk
 
management
 
approach.

is
 
informed
 
by
 
bottom-up

during
 
the
 
prior
 
year.
 
The
 
total
 
operational
 
risk
 
losses
 
for
 
the

were
 
mainly
 
driven
 
by
 
events
 
falling

category,
 
which
 
tend

Fraud
 
remains
 
an
 
industry-wide
 
threat
 
and
 
the
 
Barclays

continues
 
to
 
work
 
closely
 
with
 
external
 
partners
 
on
various

Operational
 
Resilience
 
is
 
and
 
has
 
been
 
a
 
key
 
area
 
of
 
focus
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
The
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
is
 
the
 
most
 
severe
 
global
health
 
emergency
 
the
 
World
 
Health
 
Organization
 
(WHO)
 
has
 
ever
 
declared.
 
Whilst
 
overall
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
proved
 
to
 
be
 
resilient,
 
the
COVID-19
 
pandemic
 
has
 
caused
 
disruption
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
experienced
 
operational
 
disruptions
 
primarily
 
during
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
event
identified
 
the
 
need
 
to
 
enhance
 
our
 
resilience
 
planning
 
programme
 
to
 
improve
 
our
 
response
 
to
 
similar
 
events
 
with
 
an
 
extreme
 
and
 
prolonged
impact.
 
Despite
 
these
 
issues,
 
the
 
early
 
activation
 
of
 
our
 
Crisis
 
Leadership
 
Team
 
facilitated
 
swift
 
and
 
decisive
 
actions
 
to
 
limit
 
and
 
manage
 
the
impacts
 
which
 
resulted
 
in
 
normal
 
risk
 
exposures
 
as
 
reported
 
above.

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

for
 
the
 
Barclays

The

continues
 
to

Model
 
risk
Since
 
the
 
inception
 
of
 
model
 
risk
 
as
 
a
 
principal
 
risk,
 
key
achievements
 
to
 
date
 
include
 
creating
 
a
 
Barclays
 
Group-wide
model
 
inventory,
 
design
 
and
 
roll
 
out
 
of
 
a
 
robust
 
Model
 
Risk
Management
 
(MRM)
 
framework
 
and
 
the
 
validation
 
of
 
high
materiality
 
models.
 
In
 
2020
 
the
 
framework
 
and
 
governance
 
of
model
 
risk
 
was
 
further
 
improved
 
by:
 
strengthening
 
the
 
model
 
inventory
 
management
infrastructure
 
by
 
moving
 
onto
 
a
 
new
 
strategic
 
technology
platform,
 
which
 
will
 
enable
 
future
 
enhancements
 
and
automation
 
of
 
controls;
 
progressing
 
the
 
validation
 
of
 
low
 
materiality
 
models
 
to
achieve
 
95%
 
target
 
for
 
models
 
under
 
governance;
 
and
 
enhancing
 
model
 
risk
 
management
 
oversight
 
with
 
the
establishment
 
of
 
dedicated
 
MRM
 
forums
 
which
 
bring
together
 
model
 
developers,
 
model
 
owners
 
and
 
model
validators.
In
 
2021
 
MRM
 
will
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
the
 
validation
 
of
 
low
materiality
 
models,
 
further
 
embedding
 
of
 
validation
 
and

activities

on
 
expanding

During

Brexit
The
 
EU-UK
 
Trade
 
and
 
Cooperation
 
Agreement
 
(TCA),
 
which
 
provides
 
a
 
new
 
economic
 
and
 
social
 
partnership
 
between
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
(such
 
as
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
 
PLC)
 
are
 
no
 
longer
 
able
 
to
 
rely
 
on
 
the
 
EU
 
passporting
 
framework
 
for
 
the
 
provision
 
of
 
financial
 
services
 
to
 
EU
 
clients.
Accordingly,
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
EEA
 
hub
 
(Barclays

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
 
Barclays

to
offer
 
a
 
restricted
 
number
 
of
 
financial

and

to
 
customers
 
and

based

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.
 
To
 
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

period
 
against

in
 
the
 
EEA,

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
 
Barclays

are
 
currently
 
subject
 
to
substantially
 
the
 
same
 
rules
 
and

as
 
before
 
Brexit.
 
The
 
UK
 
intends
 
to
 
recast
 
onshored
 
EU

into

and
 
to
complete

of
 
the

reforms.
 
The
 
regulatory
 
regimes
 
for

may
 
change
 
further,
and

may

are
 
subject
 
to
 
a
 
comprehensive
regulatory
 
framework
 
involving
 
numerous
 
statutes,
 
rules
 
and
 
regulations
 
in
 
the
 
US.
 
For
 
example,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
US
 
activities
 
and
operations
 
are
 
subject
 
to

by
 
the
 
Board
 
of
 
Governors
 
of
 
the

imposed
 
by
 
other

In
 
some

US
 
requirements
 
may
 
impose
 
restrictions
 
on
 
the
 
Barclays

to
 
enhanced
prudential
 
standards
 
relating

Barclays

and
 
BUSL
 
have
 
elected
 
to
 
be

financial
 
holding
 
companies
 
(FHCs)
 
under
 
the
 
Bank
Holding
 
Company
 
Act
 
of
 
1956.
 
FHC
 
status
 
allows
 
these
 
entities
 
to
 
engage
 
in
 
a
 
variety
 
of
 
financial
 
and
 
related
 
activities,
 
directly
 
or
 
through
subsidiaries,
 
including
 
underwriting,
 
dealing
 
and
 
market
 
making
 
in
 
securities.
 
Failure
 
to
 
maintain
 
FHC
 
status
 
could
 
result
 
in
 
increasingly
stringent
 
penalties
 
and,
 
ultimately,
 
in
 
the
 
closure
 
or
 
cessation
 
of
 
certain
 
operations
 
in
 
the
 
US.
In
 
addition
 
to
 
oversight
 
by
 
the
 
FRB,
 
Barclays

Certain
 
Basel

standards
 
were
 
implemented
 
in
 
EU
 
law
 
through
 
the
 
Capital
 
Requirements
 
Regulation
 
(CRR)
 
and
 
the
 
Capital
 
Requirements
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,
 
Barclays
Bank
 
PLC
 
plus
 
certain
 
additional
 
subsidiaries
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group.
The
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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.
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
and
 
certain
 
of
 
its
 
members,
 
including
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC,
 
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

In

the
 
BoE
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
permanently
 
write-down,

and

at
 
the
 
point
 
of
 
non-viability
 
of
 
the
 
bank.
 
The
 
BoE’s
 
preferred
 
approach
 
for
 
the
 
resolution
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
PRA
 
has
 
made
 
rules
 
that
 
require
 
authorised
 
firms
 
to
 
draw
 
up
 
recovery
 
plans
 
and
 
resolution
 
packs,
 
as
 
required
 
by
 
the
 
BRRD.
 
Recovery

are
 
designed
 
to
 
outline
 
credible
 
actions
 
that
 
authorised
 
firms
 
could
 
implement
 
in
 
the
 
event
 
of
 
severe
 
stress
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
restore
 
their
business
 
to
 
a
 
stable
 
and
 
sustainable
 
condition.
 
Removal
 
of
 
potential
 
impediments
 
to
 
an
 
orderly
 
resolution
 
of
 
a
 
banking
 
group
 
or
 
one
 
or
 
more
 
of
its
 
subsidiaries
 
is
 
considered
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
BoE’s
 
and
 
PRA’s
 
supervisory
 
strategy
 
for
 
each
 
firm,
 
and
 
the
 
PRA
 
can
 
require
 
firms
 
to
 
make
significant
 
changes
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
enhance
 
resolvability.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
currently
 
provides
 
the
 
PRA
 
with
 
a
 
recovery
 
plan
 
annually
 
and
 
with
 
a
resolution
 
pack
 
as
 
requested.
In
 
July
 
2019,
 
the
 
BoE
 
and
 
PRA
 
published
 
final
 
policies
 
on
 
the
 
Resolvability
 
Assessment
 
Framework
 
(RAF),
 
designed
 
to
 
increase
 
transparency
and
 
accountability
 
and
 
clarify
 
the
 
responsibilities
 
on
 
firms
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
resolution.
 
Firms
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
develop
 
capabilities
 
by
 
1
 
January
2022
 
covering
 
three
 
resolvability
 
outcomes:
 
(i)
 
adequate
 
financial
 
resources;
 
(ii)
 
being
 
able
 
to
 
continue
 
to
 
do
 
business
 
through
 
resolution
 
and
restructuring;
 
and
 
(iii)
 
being
 
able
 
to
 
communicate
 
and
 
co-ordinate
 
within
 
the
 
firm
 
and
 
with
 
authorities.
 
The
 
first
 
self-assessment
 
report
 
on
 
these
capabilities
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
submitted
 
to
 
the
 
PRA/BoE
 
by
 
October
 
2021
 
with
 
public

firms
 
and
 
the
 
PRA/BoE
 
in
 
June
 
2022
(and
 
every
 
two
 
years
 
thereafter).
 
While

for

additional

may
 
apply
 
to
 
certain
 
Barclays

entities
 
or
 
branches.
In

is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
powers
 
of
the
 
Single
 
Resolution
 
Board
 
(SRB)
 
as
 
the
 
Eurozone
 
resolution
 
authority.
 
The
 
CBI
 
and
 
the
 
ECB
 
require
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC
 
to
 
submit
 
a
standalone
 
BRRD-compliant
 
recovery
 
plan
 
on
 
an
 
annual
 
basis.
 
The
 
SRB
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
to
 
require
 
data
 
submissions
 
specific
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Ireland
 
PLC
 
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
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC
 
in
 
the
 
context
 
of
 
the

preferred
 
resolution
 
strategy
 
of
 
single
 
point
 
of
 
entry
 
with
 
bail-in
 
at
Barclays

The
 
SRB
 
also
 
has
 
the
 
power
 
under
 
the
 
BRRD
 
and
 
the
 
SRMR
 
to
 
develop
 
a
 
resolution

for
 
Barclays

TLAC
 
and
 
MREL
The
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group’s
 
overall
 
resolution
 
plan
treats
 
BUSL
 
as
 
a
 
non-resolution
 
entity,
 
from
 
issuing
 
TLAC
 
to
 
entities
 
other
 
than
 
those
 
within
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
Bank

The
 
BRRD
 
established
 
a

for
 
EU

to
 
set
 
up
 
a
 
pre-funded
 
resolution

equal
 
to
 
1%
of

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

(FSCS),
 
which
 
is

In
 
the

the

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

which
 
is

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
swap
 
participants’
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.

Data
 
protection
 
and
 
PSD2
Most
 
countries
 
where
 
Barclays
 
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
 
GDPR’
 
-
 
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
 
data
 
privacy
 
laws,
 
or
 
align
 
their
 
existing
legislation.
 
During
 
2020
 
new
 
privacy
 
laws
 
have
 
been
 
passed
 
in
 
Switzerland,
 
took
 
effect
 
in
 
Brazil
 
and
 
Dubai,
 
and
 
were
 
proposed
 
in
 
India
 
and
China.
 
In
 
the
 
US,
 
Barclays
 
US
 
Consumer
 
Bank
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
the
 
US
 
Federal
 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley
 
Act
 
(GLBA)
 
and
 
the
 
California
 
Consumer
 
Privacy
 
Act
of
 
2018,
 
which
 
came
 
into
 
effect
 
on
 
1
 
January
 
2020
 
(CCPA).
 
The
 
GLBA
 
limits
 
the
 
use
 
and
 
disclosure
 
of
 
non-public
 
personal
 
information
 
to
 
non-
affiliated
 
third

and
 
requires
 
financial
 
institutions
 
to
 
provide
 
written
 
notice
 
of
 
their
 
privacy
 
policies
 
and
 
practices.
 
Any
 
violations
 
of
 
the
GLBA
 
could
 
subject
 
the
 
US
 
Consumer
 
Bank
 
to
 
additional
 
reporting
 
requirements
 
or
 
regulatory
 
investigation
 
or
 
audits
 
by
 
the
 
financial
 
regulators.
The
 
CCPA
 
only
 
applies
 
to

that
 
is
 
not
 
collected,
 
processed,
 
sold
 
or

pursuant
 
to
 
the
 
GLBA,
 
and
 
it
 
requires
 
the
 
US
Consumer

to
 
provide
 
California
 
consumers
 
with
 
additional
 
disclosures
 
regarding
 
the

From
 
14
 
September
 
2019,
 
new
 
rules
 
apply
 
under
 
the
 
revised
 
Payment
 
Services
 
Directive
 
(PSD2)
 
that
 
affect
 
the
 
way
 
banks
 
and
 
other

check
 
that
 
the
 
person
 
requesting
 
access
 
to
 
an
 
account
 
or
 
trying
 
to
 
make
 
a
 
payment
 
is
 
permitted
 
to
 
do
 
so.
 
This
 
is
 
referred
 
to
as
 
strong
 
customer
 
authentication
 
(SCA).
 
In
 
April
 
2020,
 
the
 
FCA
 
provided
 
an
 
additional
 
six
 
months
 
(to
 
14
 
September
 
2021)
 
for
 
the
 
industry
 
to
implement
 
SCA
 
for

Cyber
 
security
 
and
 
operational
 
resilience
Regulators
 
in
 
the
 
UK,
 
the
 
EU
 
and
 
the
 
US
 
continue
 
to
 
focus
 
on
 
cyber
 
security
 
risk
 
management,
 
organisational
 
operational
 
resilience
 
and
 
overall
soundness
 
across
 
all
 
financial
 
services
 
firms,
 
with
 
customer
 
and
 
market
 
expectations
 
of
 
continuous
 
access
 
to
 
financial
 
services
 
at
 
an
 
all-time
high.
This
 
is
 
evidenced
 
by
 
the
 
publication
 
of
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
proposed
 
laws
 
and
 
changes
 
to
 
regulatory
 
frameworks.
 
For
 
example,
 
the
 
UK
 
regulators
published
 
for
 
consultation
 
a
 
new
 
framework
 
for
 
operational
 
resilience
 
that
 
focuses
 
on
 
the
 
identification
 
of
 
important
 
business
 
services,
 
setting
impact
 
tolerances
 
for
 
them,
 
and
 
then
 
testing
 
against
 
them.
 
The
 
European
 
Commission
 
has
 
proposed
 
legislation
 
on
 
cyber
 
security
 
and
operational
 
resilience
 
for
 
the
 
financial
 
services
 
sector,
 
including
 
oversight
 
of
 
third
 
party
 
service
 
providers.
 
The
 
regulatory
 
focus
 
has
 
been
 
further
heightened
 
by
 
the
 
COVID-19
 
pandemic.
 
The
 
existing
 
and
 
anticipated
 
requirements
 
for
 
increased
 
controls
 
will
 
serve
 
to
 
improve
 
industry
standardisation
 
and
 
resilience
 
capabilities,
 
enhancing
 
our
 
ability
 
to
 
deliver
 
services
 
during
 
periods
 
of
 
potential
 
disruption.
 
However,
 
such
measures
 
are
 
likely
 
to
 
result
 
in
 
increased
 
technology
 
and
 
compliance
 
costs
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
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

2017
 
introduced

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Group.
In
 
May
 
2018,
 
the
 
Sanctions
 
and
 
Anti-Money
 
Laundering
 
Act
 
became
 
law
 
in
 
the
 
UK.
 
The
 
Act
 
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.
In
 
the
 
US,
 
the
 
Bank
 
Secrecy
 
Act,
 
the
 
USA
 
PATRIOT
 
Act
 
2001,
 
the
 
Anti-Money
 
Laundering
 
Act
 
of
 
2020
 
and
 
regulations
 
thereunder
 
contain
numerous
 
anti-money
 
laundering
 
and
 
anti-terrorist
 
financing
 
requirements
 
for
 
financial
 
institutions.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
subject
 
to
 
the
 
US
 
Foreign
 
Corrupt
 
Practices
 
Act,
 
which
 
prohibits,
 
among
 
other
 
things,
 
corrupt
 
payments
 
to
 
foreign
 
government
 
officials.
 
It
 
is
 
also
subject
 
to
 
various
 
economic
 
sanctions
 
laws,
 
regulations
 
and
 
executive
 
orders
 
administered
 
by
 
the
 
US
 
government,
 
which
 
prohibit
 
or
 
restrict
some
 
or
 
all
 
business
 
activities
 
and
 
other
 
dealings
 
with
 
or
 
involving
 
certain
 
individuals,
 
entities,
 
groups,
 
countries
 
and
 
territories.
In
 
some
 
cases,
 
US
 
state
 
and
 
federal
 
regulations
 
addressing
 
sanctions,
 
money
 
laundering
 
and
 
other
 
financial
 
crimes
 
may
 
impact
 
entities,
persons
 
or
 
activities
 
located
 
or
 
undertaken
 
outside
 
the
 
US,
 
including
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
 
US
 
government
 
authorities
 
have
aggressively
 
enforced
 
these
 
laws
 
against
 
financial
 
institutions
 
in
 
recent
 
years.
 
Failure
 
of
 
a
 
financial
 
institution
 
to
 
ensure
 
compliance
 
with
 
such
laws
 
could
 
have
 
serious
 
legal,
 
financial
 
and
 
reputational
 
consequences
 
for
 
the
 
institution.

Opinion
 
on
 
the
 
Consolidated

Statements
We
 
have
 
audited
 
the
 
accompanying
 
consolidated
 
balance
 
sheets
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
subsidiaries
 
(the
 
Company)
 
as
 
of
 
December

and
 
2019,

for

the
 
years
 
in
 
the
 
three-year
 
period
 
ended
 
December
 
31,
 
2020
 
and
 
the
related
 
notes
 
and
 
specific
 
disclosures
 
described
 
in
 
Note
 
1
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
as
 
being
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
statements
 
(collectively,
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements).
 
In
 
our
 
opinion,
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
present
 
fairly,
 
in
 
all
 
material
respects,
 
the
 
financial
 
position
 
of
 
the
 
Company
 
as
 
of
 
December
 
31,
 
2020
 
and
 
2019,
 
and
 
the
 
results
 
of
 
its
 
operations
 
and
 
its
 
cash
 
flows
 
for
 
each
of
 
the
 
years
 
in
 
the
 
three-year
 
period
 
ended
 
December
 
31,
 
2020,
 
in
 
conformity
 
with
 
International
 
Financial
 
Reporting
 
Standards,
 
as
 
issued
 
by
 
the
International
 
Accounting
 
Standards
 
Board.
Basis
 
for
 
Opinion
These
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
the
 
responsibility
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
management.
 
Our
 
responsibility
 
is
 
to
 
express
 
an
 
opinion
 
on
these
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
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
 
audit
 
to
 
obtain
reasonable
 
assurance
 
about
 
whether
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
are
 
free
 
of
 
material
 
misstatement,
 
whether
 
due
 
to
 
error
 
or
 
fraud.
 
The
Company
 
is
 
not
 
required
 
to
 
have,
 
nor
 
were
 
we
 
engaged
 
to
 
perform,
 
an
 
audit
 
of
 
its
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting.
 
As
 
part
 
of
 
our
 
audits,
we
 
are
 
required
 
to
 
obtain
 
an
 
understanding
 
of
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting
 
but
 
not
 
for
 
the
 
purpose
 
of
 
expressing
 
an
 
opinion
 
on
 
the
effectiveness
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
internal
 
control
 
over
 
financial
 
reporting.
 
Accordingly,
 
we
 
express
 
no
 
such
 
opinion.
Our
 
audits
 
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.
 
We
 
believe
that
 
our
 
audits
 
provide
 
a
 
reasonable
 
basis
 
for
 
our
 
opinion.
Critical
 
Audit
 
Matters
The
 
critical

matters
 
communicated
 
below
 
are
 
matters
 
arising
 
from
 
the
 
current

The

auditor
 
judgement
 
was
 
applied
 
in
 
assessing
 
qualitative

the
 
impact
 
of
 
economic

In
 
addition,
 
auditor
 
judgement
 
was
 
required
 
to
 
evaluate
 
the
 
sufficiency
 
of
 
audit
 
evidence
 
obtained.
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
 
for
 
estimating
 
the
impairment
 
allowance
 
for
 
loans
 
and
 
advances
 
at
 
amortized
 
cost,
 
including
 
off
 
-balance
 
sheet
 
elements.
 
This
 
included
 
controls
 
relating
 
to
 
the
(1)
 
application
 
of
 
the
 
staging
 
criteria,
 
(2)
 
model
 
validation,
 
implementation
 
and
 
monitoring,
 
(3)
 
authorization
 
and
 
calculation
 
of
 
qualitative
adjustments
 
and
 
management

and
 
(4)
 
selection
 
and
 
implementation
 
of
 
economic
 
variables
 
and
 
the
 
controls
 
over
 
the
 
economic

selection
 
and
 
probabilities.
 
We
 
involved
 
credit
 
risk
 
modelling
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge,
 
who
 
assisted
 
in
 
the
 
following:
o
 
evaluating
 
the
 
Company’s
 
impairment
 
methodologies
 
for
 
compliance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
(including
 
the
 
staging
 
criteria
 
used);
o
 
reperforming
 
and
 
inspecting
 
model
 
code
 
for
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
certain
 
components
 
of
 
the
 
ECL
 
model
 
(including
 
the
 
staging
 
criteria)
 
to
assess
 
its
 
consistency
 
with
 
the
 
Company’s
 
approved
 
staging
 
criteria
 
and
 
the
 
output
 
of
 
the
 
model;
o
 
evaluating
 
for
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
models
 
which
 
were
 
changed
 
or
 
updated
 
during
 
the
 
year
 
as
 
to
 
whether
 
the
 
changes
 
(including
 
the
 
updated
model
 
code)
 
were
 
appropriate
 
by
 
assessing
 
the
 
updated
 
model
 
methodology
 
against
 
the
 
applicable
 
accounting
 
standard;
o
evaluating
 
the
 
model
 
output
 
for
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
models
 
by
 
inspecting
 
the
 
corresponding
 
model
 
functionality
 
and
 
independently
implementing
 
the
 
model
 
by
 
rebuilding
 
the
 
model
 
code
 
and
 
comparing
 
our
 
independent
 
output
 
with
 
management’s
 
output;
 
and
o
 
assessing
 
and
 
reperforming,
 
for
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
models,
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
model
 
predictions
 
by
 
comparing
 
them
 
against
 
actual
results
 
and
 
evaluating
 
the
 
resulting
 
differences.
 
In
 
addition,
 
we
 
involved
 
economic
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge,
 
who
 
assisted
 
in:
o
 
assessing
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
methodology
 
for
 
determining
 
the
 
economic
 
scenarios
 
used
 
and
 
the
 
probability
weightings
 
applied
 
to
 
them;
o
 
assessing
 
key
 
economic
 
variables
 
which
 
included
 
comparing
 
samples
 
of
 
economic
 
variables
 
to
 
external
 
sources;
o
 
assessing
 
the
 
overall
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
economic
 
forecasts
 
by
 
comparing
 
the
 
Company’s
 
forecasts
 
to
 
our
 
own
 
modelled
 
forecasts;
and
o
 
assessing
 
the
 
reasonableness
 
of
 
the
 
Company’s
 
qualitative

by
 
challenging
 
key
 
economic
 
assumptions
 
applied
 
in
 
their
calculation
 
based
 
on
 
external
 
sources.
We
 
evaluated
 
the
 
collective
 
results
 
of
 
the
 
procedures
 
performed
 
to
 
assess
 
the
 
sufficiency
 
of
 
the

obtained
 
related
 
to
 
the
Company’s

As
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note

Of
 
these
 
amounts,
 
Level

Company
 
has
 
Level

of
 
£556.8bn
 
and
 
financial

at
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
£557.5bn.
 
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
 
judgment
 
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
 
matter.
 
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;
 
We
 
inspected
 
movements
 
in
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
throughout
 
the
 
period
 
to
 
assess
 
whether
 
gains
 
or
 
losses
 
generated
 
were
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
accounting
 
standards;
 
We
 
involved
 
valuation
 
professionals
 
with
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and
 
knowledge
 
who
 
assisted
 
in
 
the
 
following:
o
 
assessing
 
the
 
conceptual
 
soundness
 
of
 
significant
 
models
 
and
 
methodologies
 
used
 
in
 
calculating
 
fair
 
values,
 
risk
 
exposures
 
and
 
in
calculating
 
FVAs;
 
and
o
 
developing
 
an
 
independent
 
estimate
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
for
 
a
 
selection
 
of
 
trades
 
from
 
the
 
above
 
portfolios
 
and
 
challenging
 
the
 
Company
 
where
their
 
valuations
 
were
 
outside
 
our

(‘UKRF’)
As
 
discussed
 
in
 
Note
 
31
 
to
 
the
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements,
 
the
 
Company
 
operates
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension
 
plans
 
and
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
the

relates
 
to
 
the

The

fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
defined
 
benefit
 
pension

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
 
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
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
UKRF
 
as
 
a
 
critical
 
audit
 
matter.
 
Subjective
 
and
 
complex
 
auditor
judgement,
 
including
 
specialized
 
skills
 
and

was
 
required
 
in
 
evaluating
 
the

retail
 
price
 
index
 
(‘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

due
 
to
 
the
 
subjective

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
and
 
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.
 
This
 
involved
 
a
 
review
 
of
 
a
 
working
 
capital
 
report
 
(WCR)
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
The
 
WCR
 
is
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
the
Board
 
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
 
forecasts
 
of
 
profitability
 
taken
 
from
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
Group’s
 
three-year
 
medium
 
term
 
plan
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
projections
 
of
 
future
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
requirements
 
and
 
business
 
funding
 
needs.
 
The
 
WCR
also
 
includes
 
details
 
of
 
the
 
impact
 
of
 
internally
 
generated
 
stress
 
testing
 
scenarios
 
on
 
the
 
liquidity
 
and
 
capital
 
requirement
 
forecasts.
 
The
 
stress
tests
 
used
 
were
 
based
 
an
 
assessment
 
of
 
reasonably
 
possible
 
downside
 
economic
 
scenarios
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
could
 
experience.
 
The
 
WCR
 
showed
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
had
 
sufficient
 
capital
 
in
 
place
 
to
 
support
 
its
 
future
 
business
 
requirements
 
and
 
remained
 
above
its
 
regulatory
 
minimum
 
requirements
 
in
 
the
 
stress
 
scenarios.
 
It
 
also
 
showed
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
an
 
expectation
 
that
 
it
 
can
continue
 
to
 
meet
 
its
 
funding
 
requirements
 
during
 
the
 
scenarios.
 
Accordingly,
 
the
 
Board
 
concluded
 
that
 
there
 
was
 
a
 
reasonable
 
expectation
 
that
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
adequate
 
resources
 
to
 
continue
 
as
 
a
 
going
 
concern
 
for
 
a
 
period
 
of
 
at
 
least
 
12
 
months
 
from
 
the
 
date
 
of
 
approval
 
of
the
 
financial
 
statements.

Accounting

The

Consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
.
The
 
consolidated
 
financial
 
statements
 
combine
 
the
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
all
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
 
Subsidiaries
 
are
 
entities
over
 
which
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
has
 
control.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
control
 
over
 
another
 
entity
 
when
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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
 
Barclays

Recognition
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
recognises
 
financial
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
when
 
it
 
becomes
 
a

to
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the

settlement
 
date
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
an
 
option
 
to
 
make
 
an
 
irrevocable
 
election
 
on
 
initial

in
 
which

dividends
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
profit

loss,
 
but
 
gains
 
or

Derecognition
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

(iv)
 
Issued
 
debt
 
and
 
equity
 
instruments
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.

those
 
of

9,
 
IAS
 
39,
 
IFRS

IFRS

and
 
IFRS

were

periods
 
beginning

with
 
earlier

The
 
Barclays
 
Bank

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
13).
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
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.

The
 
following
 
accounting
 
standards
 
have
 
been

In
 
May
 
2017,
 
the

issued
 
IFRS
 
17
Insurance
 
Contracts
,
 
a

new
 
accounting
 
standard
 
for

income,
 
and
 
interest

on
 
financial

held
 
at

are
 
calculated
 
using
 
the
 
effective

method
 
which

incremental
 
fees
 
and
 
costs,
 
over
 
the
 
expected
 
lives
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities.
The
 
effective
 
interest
 
method
 
requires
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
to
 
estimate
 
future
 
cash
 
flows,
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
based
 
on
 
its
 
experience
 
of
customers’
 
behaviour,
 
considering
 
all
 
contractual
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
financial
 
instrument,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
expected
 
lives
 
of
 
the
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
incurs
 
certain
 
costs
 
to
 
originate
 
credit
 
card
 
balances
 
with
 
the
 
most
 
significant
 
being
 
co-brand
 
partner
 
fees.
 
To
 
the
extent
 
these
 
costs
 
are
 
attributed
 
to
 
customers
 
that
 
continuously
 
carry
 
an
 
outstanding
 
balance
 
(revolvers)
 
and
 
incremental
 
to
 
the
 
origination
 
of
credit
 
card
 
balances,
 
they
 
are
 
capitalised
 
and
 
subsequently
 
included
 
within
 
the
 
calculation
 
of
 
the
 
effective
 
interest
 
rate.
 
They
 
are
 
amortised
 
to
interest
 
income
 
over
 
the
 
period
 
of
 
expected
 
repayment
 
of
 
the
 
originated
 
balance.
 
Costs
 
attributed
 
to
 
customers
 
that
 
settle
 
their
 
outstanding
balances
 
each
 
period
 
(transactors)
 
are
 
deferred
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
as
 
a
 
cost
 
of
 
obtaining
 
a
 
contract
 
and
 
amortised
 
to
 
fee
 
and
 
commission
expense
 
over
 
the
 
life
 
of
 
the

relationship
 
(refer

There
 
are

Accounting

The
 
Barclays

applies
 
IFRS
 
15
 
Revenue
 
from
 
Contracts
 
with
 
Customers.
 
IFRS
 
15
 
establishes
 
a
 
five-step
 
model
 
governing
 
revenue
recognition.
 
The
 
five-step
 
model
 
requires
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
recognises
 
fee
 
and
 
commission
 
income
 
charged
 
for
 
services
 
provided
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
as
 
the
 
services
are
 
provided,
 
for
 
example,
 
on
 
completion
 
of
 
the
 
underlying
 
transaction.
 
Where
 
the
 
contractual
 
arrangements
 
also
 
result
 
in
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
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

This

Syndication
 
fees
 
are

a

syndication;
 
however,
 
the

until
 
the

been
 
syndicated
to
 
other

or
 
until
 
other
 
contingencies

and
 
therefore
 
the

revenue
 
is
 
deferred
 
until
 
the

Included
 
in

of

of

Impairment
 
of

During

there
 
have
 
been

in
 
relation
 
to

(2019:

Fees
in

can
 
be
 
added
 
to
 
outstanding

These

may
 
be
 
subsequently
 
impaired
 
as

Remaining
 
performance
 
obligations
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
£135m
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
(2019:
 
£153m;
 
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
 
£35m
 
(2019:
 
£29m;
 
2018:
 
£30m)
 
and
 
there
 
was
 
no
 
impairment
 
loss
 
recognised
in
 
connection
 
with
 
the

costs
 
(2019:
 
nil;

Credit

charges
Accounting
 
for
 
the

of
 
financial
 
assets
 
Impairment
 
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
Intercompany
 
exposures
 
in
 
the
 
individual
 
financial
 
statements,
 
including
 
loan
commitments
 
and
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contracts,
 
are
 
also
 
in
 
scope
 
of
 
IFRS
 
9
 
for
 
ECL
 
purposes.
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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:

-population
 
of
 
the
 
approved
 
lifetime
 
PD
 
score
 
either

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

completed
 
or;
b)
 
(for
 
non-forborne
 
exposures)
 
the
 
performance
 
conditions
 
are
 
defined
 
and

within
 
an

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
forecasters)
 
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
 
m
 
ethodology
 
works
 
such
 
that

the

depend
 
on
 
the

A

that

are
 
also
 
used
 
for
 
the

purposes.
 
The
 
impacts
 
across
 
the
 
portfolios
 
are
 
different
 
because
 
of
 
the
 
sensitivities
 
of
 
each
 
of
 
the

to
specific
 
macroeconomic
 
variables,
 
for
 
example,

Accounting
 
for
 
purchased
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contracts
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
may
 
enter
 
into
 
a
 
financial
 
guarantee
 
contract
 
which
 
requires
 
the
 
issuer
 
of
 
such
 
contract
 
to
 
reimburse
 
the
 
Barclays
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

when

the

Loan

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

profile.
 
In
 
respect
 
of

on
 
a

basis
 
(based
 
on
 
the

the

the

is
 
not

to

modified.
Where
 
terms
 
are
 
substantially
 
different,
 
the

loan
 
will
 
be

and
 
a

Expected
 
life
Lifetime
 
ECLs
 
must
 
be
 
measured
 
over
 
the
 
expected
 
life.
 
This
 
is
 
restricted
 
to
 
the
 
maximum
 
contractual
 
life
 
and
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
expected
prepayment,
 
extension,
 
call
 
and
 
similar
 
options.
 
The
 
exceptions
 
are
 
certain
 
revolver
 
financial
 
instruments,
 
such
 
as
 
credit
 
cards
 
and
 
bank
overdrafts,
 
that
 
include
 
both
 
a
 
drawn
 
and
 
an
 
undrawn
 
component
 
where
 
the
 
entity’s
 
contractual
 
ability
 
to
 
demand
 
repayment
 
and
 
cancel
 
the
undrawn
 
commitment
 
does
 
not
 
limit
 
the

exposure
 
to
 
credit
 
losses
 
to
 
the

period.
 
For
 
revolving
 
facilities,
 
expected
 
life
 
is
analytically
 
derived
 
to
 
reflect
 
behavioural
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
asset,
 
i.e.
 
the
 
full
 
period
 
over
 
which
 
the
 
business
 
expects
 
to
 
be
 
exposed
 
to
 
credit
 
risk.
Behavioural
 
life
 
is
 
typically
 
based
 
upon
 
historical
 
analysis
 
of
 
the
 
average
 
time
 
to
 
default,
 
closure
 
or
 
withdrawal
 
of
 
facility.
 
Where
 
data
 
is
insufficient
 
or
 
analysis
 
inconclusive,
 
an
 
additional
 
‘maturity
 
factor’
 
may
 
be
 
incorporated
 
to
 
reflect
 
the
 
full
 
estimated
 
life
 
of
 
the
 
exposures,
 
based
upon
 
experienced
 
judgement
 
and/or
 
peer
 
analysis.
 
Potential
 
future

of

For

the

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.
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
Temporary
 
adjustments
 
to
 
calculated
 
IFRS9
 
impairment
 
allowances
 
may
 
be
 
applied
 
in
 
limited
 
circumstances
 
to
 
account
 
for
 
situations
 
where
known
 
or
 
expected
 
risk
 
factors
 
or
 
information
 
have
 
not
 
been
 
considered
 
in

Tax
Accounting
 
for
 
income
 
taxes
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
assets
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
tax
 
returns.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
ultimately
 
expects
 
to
 
pay
 
the
 
tax
 
authority
 
to
 
resolve
 
the
 
position.
 
Effective
 
from
 
1
 
January
 
2019,
 
the
 
Barclays
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
merits
 
of
 
that
 
position.
 
Where
 
a
 
number
of
 
issues
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
reviewed
 
and
 
resolved
 
together,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

is
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
UK

primarily
 
due
 
to
 
profits

at
local
 
statutory

These
 
factors,
 
which
 
have
 
each
 
increased
 
the

rate,
 
are
 
largely
 
offset
 
by
 
the
 
impact
 
of

the

Of
 
the

which
 
have
 
suffered
 
a

year
 
and
 
the
 
utilisation
 
of
 
which
 
is
 
dependent
 
upon
 
future
 
taxable
 
profits.
 
This
 
has
 
been
 
taken
 
into
 
account
 
in
 
reaching
 
the
 
above
conclusion
 
that
 
these
 
deferred

(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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
applies
 
the
 
requirements
 
of
 
IAS
 
39
Financial
 
Instruments:
 
Recognition
 
and
 
Measurement
 
for
 
hedge
 
accounting
purposes.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
are:
 
When
 
considering
 
the
 
‘highly
 
probable’
 
requirement,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
not
 
recycled
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
reserve
 
relating
 
to
 
the
 
period
 
after
 
the
 
reforms
 
are
 
expected
 
to
 
take
 
effect.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
elected
 
to
 
early
 
adopt
 
the
 
‘Amendments
 
to
 
IFRS
 
9,
 
IAS
 
39,
 
IFRS
 
7,
 
IFRS
 
4
 
and

Interest
 
Rate

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

reform.
 
The
 
Phase
 
2
 
amendments
 
adopted
 
by
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
are:
 
 
Under
 
a
 
temporary
 
exception,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
upon
 
designation
 
of
 
the
 
hedge
 
to
 
assume
 
that
 
the
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
requirement
 
is
 
met
 
if
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
reasonably
 
expects
 
the
 
RFR
 
risk
 
will
 
become
 
separately
 
identifiable
 
within
 
the
 
next
 
24
 
mo
 
nths.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
applies
 
this
 
relief
 
to
each
 
RFR
 
on
 
a
 
rate-by-rate
 
basis
 
and
 
starts
 
when
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
Cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
accounting
For
 
qualifying
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedges,
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
associated
 
with
 
the
 
effective
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedge
 
is
 
recognised
 
initially
 
in
other
 
comprehensive
 
income,
 
and
 
then
 
recycled
 
to
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
in
 
the
 
periods
 
when
 
the
 
hedged
 
item
 
will
 
affect
 
profit
 
or
 
loss.
 
Any
ineffective
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
on
 
the
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
immediately.
When
 
a
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
expires
 
or
 
is
 
sold,
 
or
 
when
 
a
 
hedge
 
no
 
longer
 
meets
 
the
 
criteria
 
for
 
hedge
 
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
 
forecast
 
transaction
 
is
 
no
 
longer
 
expected
 
to
 
occur,
 
the
 
cumulative
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
that
 
was
 
recognised
 
in
 
equity
 
is
 
immediately
 
transferred
 
to
 
the
income
 
statement.
Hedges
 
of
 
net
 
investments
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
net
 
investments
 
in
 
foreign
 
operations,
 
including
 
monetary
 
items
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
part
 
of
 
the
 
net
 
investment,
 
are
hedged
 
for
 
foreign
 
currency
 
risks
 
using
 
both
 
derivatives
 
and
 
foreign
 
currency
 
borrowings.
 
Hedges
 
of
 
net
 
investments
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
similarly
to
 
cash
 
flow
 
hedges;
 
the
 
effective
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
on
 
the
 
hedging
 
instrument
 
is
 
being
 
recognised
 
directly
 
in
 
other
 
comprehensive
income
 
and
 
the
 
ineffective
 
portion
 
being
 
recognised
 
immediately
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement.
 
The
 
cumulative
 
gain
 
or
 
loss
 
recognised
 
in
 
other
comprehensive
 
income
 
is
 
recognised
 
in
 
the
 
income
 
statement
 
on
 
the
 
disposal
 
or
 
partial
 
disposal
 
of
 
the
 
foreign

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
does
not
 
hedge
 
inflation
 
risk
 
that
 
arises
 
from
 
other
 
activities.
In
 
order
 
to
 
hedge
 
these
 
risks,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
hedging
 
instrument.

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

Movements

unless
 
the

would
 
create
 
or

in

In
 
these
 
scenarios,
all

(including
 
the

Financial

through

In

through

if
 
they

that

that
 
is
 
either
 
(i)
 
a
 
business
 
model
 
to

the

or
 
(ii)

that
 
is
 
achieved
by
 
both
 
collecting
 
contractual
 
cash
 
flows
 
and

Subsequent
 
changes
 
in
 
fair
 
value
 
for
 
these
 
instruments
 
are
 
recognised
 
in
 
the

statement
 
in

investment
 
income,
 
except
 
if
 
reporting
 
it
 
in
 
trading
 
income
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

on
 
a

at
 
the

derived
 
from

For

either:
 
on
 
a
 
straight-line
 
basis
 
over
 
the

of
 
the

or
 
over
 
the

all

where
 
appropriate;
 
or
 
released
 
in
 
full
 
when
 
previously
 
unobservable
 
inputs
 
become

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

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

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.

is
 
applicable
 
to
 
a
 
financial
 
transaction
 
that
 
will
 
take
 
place
 
in
 
the
 
future.
In
 
general,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
a
 
forward
 
in
 
isolation
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
a

value
 
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
 
credit
 
risk
 
of

and
 
form
 
part
 
of
 
the

In

in
 
credit
 
spread
 
in

will
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
movement
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
decrease
 
for
 
a
 
cash

For
 
a
 
derivative
 
instrument,
 
a
 
significant
 
increase
 
in
 
credit
 
spread
 
in
 
isolation
 
can
 
result
 
in
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
increase
 
or
 
decrease
 
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.
 
Wh
 
ile
 
the
 
overall
 
loan
 
spread
 
range
 
is
 
from
 
32bps
to
 
477bps
 
(2019:
 
31bps
 
to
 
624bps),
 
the
 
vast
 
majority
 
of
 
spreads
 
are
 
concentrated
 
towards
 
the
 
bottom
 
end
 
of
 
this
 
range,
 
with
 
98%
 
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

uses
 
mid-market
 
pricing
 
where
 
it

and
 
has
 
the
 
ability
 
to

at,

mid
 
price
 
(which
 
is
the
 
case
 
for
 
certain

derivative
 
markets).
 
For
 
other
 
financial
 
assets

are
 
recorded
to
 
reflect
 
the

for
 
the

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

In

may
 
be
 
derived
 
from
 
an

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’
 
option
 
that
 
reflects
 
the
 
ability
 
of
 
the
 
party
 
posting
 
collateral
 
to
 
change
 
the
 
currency
 
of
 
the
 
collateral.
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
 
£115m
 
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).

CVA
 
and

to
 
reflect
 
the

of
 
counterparty
 
credit
 
risk
 
and
 
Barclays

Group’s
own
 
credit
 
quality
 
respectively.
 
These
 
adjustments
 
are
 
calculated
 
for
 
uncollateralised
 
and
 
partially
 
collateralised
 
derivatives
 
across
 
all
 
asset
classes.
 
CVA
 
and
 
DVA
 
are
 
calculated
 
using
 
estimates
 
of
 
exposure
 
at
 
default,
 
probability
 
of
 
default
 
and
 
recovery
 
rates,
 
at
 
a
 
counterparty
 
level.
Counterparties
 
include
 
(but
 
are
 
not
 
limited
 
to)
 
corporates,
 
sovereigns
 
and
 
sovereign
 
agencies
 
and
 
supranationals.
Exposure
 
at
 
default
 
is
 
generally
 
estimated
 
through
 
the
 
simulation
 
of
 
underlying
 
risk
 
factors
 
through
 
approximating
 
with
 
a
 
more
 
vanilla
 
structure,
or
 
by
 
using
 
current
 
or
 
scenario-based
 
mark

as
 
an
 
estimate
 
of
 
future
 
exposure.
 
Probability
 
of
 
default
 
and
 
recovery
 
rate
 
information
 
is
 
generally
 
sourced
 
from
 
the
 
CDS
 
markets.
 
Where
 
this
 
information
 
is
 
not
 
available,
 
or
considered
 
unreliable,
 
alternative
 
approaches
 
are
 
taken
 
based
 
on
 
mapping
 
internal
 
counterparty
 
ratings
 
onto
 
historical
 
or
 
market-based
 
default
and
 
recovery
 
information.
 
In
 
particular,
 
this
 
applies
 
to
 
sovereign
 
related
 
names
 
where
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
using
 
the
 
recovery
 
assumptions
 
implied
 
in
CDS
 
levels
 
would
 
imply
 
a
 
£32m
 
(2019:
 
£36m)
 
increase
 
in
 
CVA.
CVA
 
increased
 
by
 
£133m
 
to
 
£268m
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
an
 
increased
 
uncollateralised
 
and
 
partially
 
collateralised
 
derivative
 
asset
 
and
 
widening
 
input
counterparty
 
credit
 
spreads.
 
DVA
 
decreased
 
by
 
£42m
 
to
 
£113m,
 
as
 
a
 
result
 
of
 
an
 
update
 
to
 
methodology
 
partially
 
offset
 
by
 
widening
 
input
 
own
credit
 
spreads.
Correlation

and
 
underlying
 
derivative
 
risk
 
factors,
 
termed
 
‘wrong-way,’
 
or
 
‘right-way’
 
risk,
 
is
 
not
 
systematically
incorporated
 
into
 
the
 
CVA
 
calculation
 
but
 
is
 
adjusted
 
where
 
the
 
underlying
 
exposure
 
is
 
directly
 
related
 
to
 
the
 
counterparty.
Barclays
 
continues
 
to
 
monitor
 
market
 
practices
 
and
 
activity
 
to
 
ensure
 
the

remains
 
appropriate.

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

Intangible
 
Assets
 
which
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
decided
 
to
 
apply.
 
When
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
the
 
one
 
of
 
the
 
following:
 
Future
 
lease
 
payments
 
arising
 
from
 
a
 
change
 
in
 
an
 
index
 
or
 
rate;
 
The
 
Barclays

estimate
 
of
 
the
 
amount
 
expected
 
to
 
be
 
payable
 
under
 
a
 
residual
 
value
 
guarantee;
 
or
 
The
 
Barclays

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

The

leases
 
various

and

under

In

the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
will
 
sublease
 
property
 
to

parties
 
when
 
it
 
is
 
no

to
 
meet

Currently,

does
 
not
 
have
 
any

In
 
addition
 
to
 
the

flows
 
identified
 
above,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
exposed
 
to:
 
Variable
 
lease
 
payments:
 
This
 
variability
 
will
 
typically
 
arise
 
from
 
either
 
inflation
 
index
 
instruments
 
or
 
market
 
based
 
pricing
 
adjustments.
 
Currently,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
59
 
leases
 
(2019:
 
71
 
leases)
 
out
 
of
 
the
 
total
 
121
 
leases
 
(2019:

leases)
 
which
 
have
 
variable
 
lease
payment
 
terms
 
based
 
on
 
market
 
based
 
pricing
 
adjustments.
 
Of
 
the
 
gross
 
cash
 
flows
 
identified
 
above,
 
£121m
 
(2019:
 
£403m)
 
is
 
attributable
 
to
leases
 
with
 
some
 
degree
 
of
 
variability
 
predominately
 
linked
 
to
 
market

Extension
 
and

options:
 
The
 
table

represents
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
best
 
estimate
 
of
 
future
 
cash

for
 
leases,
including
 
assumptions
 
regarding
 
the
 
exercising
 
of
 
contractual
 
extension
 
and
 
termination
 
options.
 
The
 
above
 
gross
 
cash
 
flows
 
have
 
been
reduced
 
by
 
£395m
 
(2019:
 
£408m)
 
for
 
leases
 
where
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
are
 
highly
 
expected
 
to
 
exercise
 
an
 
early
 
termination
 
option.
However,
 
there
 
is
 
no
 
significant
 
impact
 
where
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
expected
 
to
 
exercise
 
an
 
extension
 
option.
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
currently
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
any
 
significant
 
sale
 
and
 
lease
 
back
 
transactions.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
does
 
not
 
have
any
 
restrictions
 
or
 
covenants
 
imposed
 
by
 
the
 
lessor
 
on
 
its
 
property
 
leases
 
which
 
restrict

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.
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
capital
 
required
 
to
 
be
 
deployed
 
in
 
the
 
CGU
 
and
 
therefore
 
reflects
 
its
relative
 
risk,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
capital
 
management
 
consider
 
a
 
market
 
participant
 
would
 
require
 
to
 
hold
 
and
 
retain
 
to
 
support
 
business
growth.
The
 
goodwill
 
held
 
across
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

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%
 
to
16.3%
 
(2019:
 
11.0%
 
to
 
13.2%).
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

review
Based
 
on
 
management’s
 
plans
 
and
 
assumptions
 
the
 
value
 
in
 
use
 
exceeds
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
CGUs
 
and
 
no
 
impairment
 
has
 
been
 
indicated.

IAS
 
37
Provisions,
 
Contingent
 
Liabilities
 
and
 
Contingent
 
Assets
in
 
accounting
 
for
 
non-financial
 
liabilities.
Provisions
 
are
 
recognised
 
for
 
present
 
obligations
 
arising
 
as
 
consequences
 
of
 
past
 
events
 
where
 
it
 
is
 
more
 
likely
 
than
 
not
 
that
 
a
 
transfer
 
of
economic
 
benefit
 
will
 
be
 
necessary
 
to
 
settle
 
the
 
obligation,
 
which
 
can
 
be
 
reliably
 
estimated.
 
Provision
 
is
 
made
 
for
 
the
 
anticipated
 
cost
 
of
restructuring,
 
including
 
redundancy
 
costs,
 
when
 
an
 
obligation
 
exists;
 
for
 
example,
 
when
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
a
 
detailed
 
formal
 
plan
 
for
restructuring
 
a
 
business
 
and
 
has
 
raised
 
valid
 
expectations
 
in
 
those
 
affected
 
by
 
the
 
restructuring
 
by
 
announcing
 
its
 
main
 
features
 
or
 
starting
 
to
implement
 
the
 
plan.
Critical
 
accounting
 
estimates
 
and
 
judgements
The
 
financial
 
reporting
 
of
 
provisions
 
involves
 
a
 
significant
 
degree
 
of
 
judgement
 
and
 
is
 
complex.
 
Identifying
 
whether
 
a
 
present
 
obligation
 
exists
and
 
estimating
 
the
 
probability,
 
timing,
 
nature
 
and
 
quantum
 
of
 
the
 
outflows
 
that
 
may
 
arise
 
from
 
past
 
events
 
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.

challenges,
 
many
 
of
 
which

can
 
give
 
rise
 
to
 
either
 
a

Investigations
 
into
 
certain
 
advisory
 
services
 
agreements
 
and
 
related
 
civil
 
action
 
FCA
 
proceedings
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
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
continue
 
to
 
contest
 
the
 
findings.
 
Following
 
the
 
conclusion
 
of
 
the
 
Serious
Fraud
 
Office
 
(SFO)
 
proceedings
 
against
 
certain
 
former
 
Barclays
 
executives
 
resulting
 
in
 
their
 
acquittals,
 
the
 
FCA
 
proceedings,
 
which
 
were
stayed,
 
have
 
resumed.
 
All
 
charges
 
brought
 
by
 
the
 
SFO
 
against
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
Agreements
 
were
dismissed
 
in
 
2018.

PCP
 
Capital
 
Partners

and
 
PCP
 
International

Limited
 
(PCP)
 
are
 
seeking
 
damages
 
of
 
up
 
to
 
approximately
 
£819m
 
from
 
Barclays
Bank
 
PLC
 
for
 
fraudulent
 
misrepresentation
 
and
 
deceit,
 
arising
 
from
 
alleged
 
statements
 
made
 
by
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
to
 
PCP
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
terms
 
on
 
which
 
securities
 
were
 
to
 
be
 
issued
 
to
 
potential
 
investors,
 
allegedly
 
including
 
PCP,
 
in
 
the
 
November
 
2008
 
capital
 
raising.
 
The
 
trial
 
took
place
 
in
 
2020
 
and
 
the
 
High
 
Court
 
has
 
indicated
 
that
 
judgment
 
is
 
imminent.
 
The
 
outcome
 
of
 
the
 
judgment,
 
and
 
any
 
financial
 
impact
 
on
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group,
 
is
 
unknown.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
defending
 
the
 
claim.
Investigations
 
into
 
LIBOR
 
and
 
other
 
benchmarks
 
and
 
related
 
civil
 
actions
Regulators
 
and
 
law
 
enforcement
 
agencies,
 
including
 
certain
 
competition
 
authorities,
 
from
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
governments
 
have
 
conducted
investigations
 
relating
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC’s
 
involvement
 
in
 
allegedly
 
manipulating
 
certain
 
financial
 
benchmarks,
 
such
 
as
 
LIBOR.
 
The
 
SFO
closed
 
its
 
investigation
 
with
 
no
 
action
 
to
 
be
 
taken
 
against
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
 
Various
 
individuals
 
and
 
corporates
 
in
 
a
 
range
 
of
 
jurisdictions
 
have
threatened
 
or
 
brought
 
civil
 
actions
 
against
 
the
 
Barclays

which
 
have
 
been
 
filed
 
in
 
various

In
 
2012,
 
a
 
putative

filed
 
in
 
the
 
SDNY
 
against
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
other
 
Japanese
 
Yen

and
 
Yen
 
LIBOR
 
rates
 
and
 
breaches
 
of
the
 
CEA
 
and
 
the

Act.
 
In
 
2014,
 
the

dismissed
 
the
 
plaintiff’s
 
antitrust
 
claims,
 
and,
 
in
 
2020,
 
the
 
court
 
dismissed
 
the
 
plaintiff’s
remaining
 
CEA
 
claims.
 
The
 
plaintiff
 
has
 
appealed
 
the
 
lower
 
court’s
 
dismissal
 
of
 
such
 
claims.
In
 
2015,
 
a
 
second
 
putative
 
class

and
 
the
 
defendants
 
have
 
filed
 
a
 
motion
 
to
 
dismiss.

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

Court
 
of
 
Appeals
 
held
 
that
 
claims
 
related
 
to
 
certain
 
R&Ws
 
are
time-barred.
 
Barclays

PLC
 
has
 
reached
 
a

to

two
 
of
 
the
 
repurchase
 
actions,
 
which
 
is
 
subject
 
to
 
final
 
court
 
approval.
 
The
financial
 
impact
 
of
 
the
 
settlement
 
is
 
not

in
 
respect
 
of
 
the
 
US

Act
 
There
 
are
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
civil
 
actions,
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
more
 
than
 
4,000
 
plaintiffs,
 
filed
 
in
 
US
 
federal
 
courts
 
in
 
the

District
 
Court
 
in
 
the
 
Eastern
District
 
of

(EDNY)
 
and
 
SDNY
 
against
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
other
 
banks.
 
The
 
complaints
 
generally
 
allege
 
that
 
Barclays
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
those
 
banks
 
engaged
 
in
 
a
 
conspiracy
 
to
 
facilitate
 
US
 
dollar-denominated
 
transactions
 
for
 
the
 
Government
 
of
 
Iran
 
and
 
various
Iranian
 
banks,
 
which
 
in
 
turn
 
funded
 
acts
 
of
 
terrorism
 
that
 
injured
 
or
 
killed
 
plaintiffs
 
or
 
plaintiffs’
 
family
 
members.
 
The
 
plaintiffs
 
seek
 
to
 
recover
damages
 
for
 
pain,
 
suffering
 
and
 
mental
 
anguish
 
under
 
the
 
provisions
 
of
 
the
 
US
 
Anti-Terrorism
 
Act,
 
which
 
allow
 
for
 
the
 
trebling
 
of
 
any
 
proven
damages.
 
The
 
court
 
granted
 
the
 
defendants’
 
motion
 
to
 
dismiss
 
three
 
actions
 
in
 
the
 
EDNY.
 
Plaintiffs
 
have
 
appealed
 
in
 
one
 
action.
 
The
 
court
 
also
 
granted
the
 
defendants’
 
motion
 
to
 
dismiss
 
another
 
action
 
in
 
the
 
SDNY.
 
The
 
remaining
 
actions
 
are

in
 
these
 
cases.

filed
 
a
 
putative

action
 
in

state
 
court
 
against

of
 
the

of
 
Directors
 
of

and
 
senior
 
executives
 
or
 
employees
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group.
 
The
 
shareholder
 
filed
 
the
 
claim
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
Barclays
 
PLC,
 
alleging
 
that
 
the
 
individual
 
defendants
 
harmed
 
the
 
company
 
through
 
breaches
 
of
 
their
 
duties
 
under
 
the
 
Companies
Act
 
2006.
 
The
 
plaintiff
 
seeks
 
damages
 
for
 
the
 
losses
 
that
 
Barclays
 
PLC
 
allegedly
 
suffered.
 
Investigation
 
into
 
collections
 
and
 
recoveries
 
relating
 
to
 
unsecured
 
lending
Since
 
2018,
 
the
 
FCA
 
has
 
been
 
investigating
 
whether
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
implemented
 
effective
 
systems
 
and
 
controls
 
with
 
respect
 
to
 
collections
and
 
recoveries
 
and
 
whether
 
it
 
paid
 
due
 
consideration
 
to
 
the
 
interests
 
of
 
customers
 
in
 
default
 
and
 
arrears.
 
In
 
December
 
2020,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
UK
PLC
 
and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
settled
 
with
 
the
 
FCA
 
and
 
agreed
 
to
 
pay
 
a
 
total
 
penalty
 
of
 
£26m.
Investigation
 
into
 
UK
 
cards’

The
 
FCA
 
is
 
investigating
 
certain
 
aspects
 
of
 
the
 
affordability
 
assessment
 
processes
 
used
 
by
 
Barclays

for

(HMRC)
 
assessments
 
concerning
 
UK
 
Value
 
Added
 
Tax
 
In
 
2018,
 
HMRC
 
issued
 
notices
 
that
 
have
 
the
 
effect
 
of
 
removing
 
certain
 
overseas
 
subsidiaries
 
that
 
have
 
operations
 
in
 
the
 
UK
 
from
 
Barclays’

VAT
 
group,
 
in
 
which
 
group
 
supplies
 
between
 
members
 
are
 
generally
 
free
 
from
 
VAT.
 
The
 
notices
 
have
 
retrospective
 
effect
 
and
 
correspond
 
to
assessments
 
of
 
£181m
 
(inclusive
 
of
 
interest),
 
of
 
which
 
Barclays
 
would
 
expect
 
to
 
attribute
 
an
 
amount
 
of
 
approximately
 
£128m
 
to
 
Barclays
 
Bank
UK
 
PLC
 
and
 
£53m
 
to
 
Barclays

have
 
brought
claims
 
against
 
Barclays
 
Bank

and
 
Barclays

asserting
 
that

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
 
vest
 
are
 
also
 
reflected
 
in
 
the
 
fair
 
value
 
of
 
the
 
award,
 
as
are
 
any
 
other
 
non-vesting
 
conditions
 
 
such
 
as
 
continuing
 
to
 
make
 
payments
 
into
 
a
 
share-based
 
savings
 
scheme.
 
The

for
 
the

Plan
 
(SVP)
The
 
SVP
 
was
 
introduced
 
in
 
March
 
2010.
 
SVP
 
awards
 
have
 
been
granted
 
to
 
participants
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
a
 
conditional
 
right
 
to
 
receive
 
Barclays

shares
 
or
 
provisional

of
 
Barclays
 
PLC

or
 
are
 
considered
 
for
 
release
 
over
 
a
 
period
 
of
 
three,
 
five
 
or
 
seven
years.
 
Participants
 
do
 
not
 
pay
 
to
 
receive
 
an
 
award
 
or
 
to
 
receive
 
a
 
release
 
of
 
shares.
 
For
 
awards
 
granted
 
before
 
December
 
2017,
 
the
 
grantor
may
 
also
 
make
 
a
 
dividend
 
equivalent
 
payment
 
to
 
participants
 
on
 
release
 
of
 
a
 
SVP
 
award.
 
SVP
 
awards
 
are
 
also
 
made
 
to
 
eligible
 
employees
 
for
recruitment
 
purposes.
 
All
 
awards
 
are
 
subject
 
to
 
potential
 
forfeiture
 
in
 
certain
 
leaver
 
scenarios.
Deferred
 
Share
 
Value
 
Plan
 
(DSVP)
The
 
DSVP
 
was
 
introduced
 
in
 
February
 
2017.
 
The
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
DSVP
 
are
 
materially
 
the
 
same
 
as
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
SVP
 
as
 
described
 
above,
 
save
that
 
Executive
 
Directors
 
are
 
not
 
eligible
 
to
 
participate
 
in
 
the
 
DSVP
 
and
 
the
 
DSVP
 
operates
 
over
 
market
 
purchase
 
shares
 
only.
Other
 
schemes
 
In
 
addition
 
to
 
the
 
SVP
 
and
 
DSVP,
 
the
 
Barclays

operates
 
a
 
number

Pensions
 
and

Accounting
 
for
 
pensions
 
and
 
post-retirement
 
benefits
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
operates
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
pension
 
schemes
 
and
 
post-employment
 
benefit
 
schemes.

recognises
 
contributions
 
due
 
in

in
 
the

statement.
 
Any

unpaid
 
at
 
the

are
 
included
 
as
 
a

the

of
 
the

after
 
applying

Each

are
 
calculated
 
using
 
the

the
 
cost
 
of
 
providing
 
healthcare
 
benefits
 
to
 
retired
 
employees
 
is
 
accrued
 
as
 
a

in
 
the

over
 
the
 
period
 
that
 
the

Retirement
 
Fund
 
(UKRF)
The
 
UKRF
 
is
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
main
 
scheme,
 
representing
 
97%
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
total
 
retirement
 
benefit
 
obligations.
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
is
 
the
 
principal
 
employer
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF.
 
The
 
UKRF
 
was
 
closed
 
to
 
new
 
entrants
 
on
 
1
 
October
 
2012,
 
and
 
comprises
 
10
sections,
 
the
 
two
 
most
 
significant
 
of
 
which
 
are:
 
 
Afterwork,
 
which
 
comprises
 
a
 
contributory
 
cash
 
balance
 
defined
 
benefit
 
element,
 
and
 
a
 
voluntary
 
defined
 
contribution
 
element.
 
The
 
cash
balance
 
element
 
is
 
accrued
 
each
 
year
 
and
 
revalued
 
until
 
Normal
 
Retirement
 
Age
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
increase
 
in
 
Retail
 
Price
 
Index
 
(RPI)
 
(up
 
to
 
a
maximum
 
of
 
5%
 
p.a.).
 
An
 
increase
 
of
 
up
 
to
 
2%
 
a
 
year
 
may
 
also
 
be
 
added
 
at
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC’s
 
discretion.
 
The
 
costs
 
of
 
ill-health
retirements
 
and
 
death
 
in
 
service
 
benefits
 
for
 
Afterwork
 
members
 
are
 
borne
 
by
 
the
 
UKRF.
 
The
 
main
 
risks
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
runs
 
in
relation
 
to
 
Afterwork
 
are
 
limited
 
although
 
additional
 
contributions
 
are
 
required
 
if
 
pre-retirement
 
investment
 
returns
 
are
 
not
 
sufficient
 
to
 
provide
for
 
the
 
benefits.
 
The
 
1964
 
Pension
 
Scheme.
 
Most
 
employees
 
recruited
 
before
 
July
 
1997
 
built
 
up
 
benefits
 
in
 
this
 
non-contributory
 
defined
 
benefit
 
scheme
 
in
respect
 
of
 
service
 
up
 
to
 
31
 
March
 
2010.
 
Pensions
 
were
 
calculated
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
service
 
and
 
pensionable
 
salary.
 
From
 
1
 
April
 
2010,
members
 
became
 
eligible
 
to
 
accrue
 
future
 
service
 
benefits
 
in
 
either
 
Afterwork
 
or
 
the
 
Pension
 
Investment
 
Plan
 
(PIP),
 
a
 
historic
 
defined
contribution
 
section
 
which
 
is
 
now
 
closed
 
to
 
future
 
contributions.
 
The
 
risks
 
that
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
runs
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
 
1964
 
section
 
are
typical
 
of
 
final
 
salary
 
pension
 
schemes,
 
principally
 
that
 
investment
 
returns
 
fall
 
short
 
of
 
expectations,

Other
Apart
 
from
 
the
 
UKRF
 
and
 
the
 
BPSP,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
operates
 
a
 
number
 
of
 
smaller
 
pension
 
and
 
long-term
 
employee
 
benefits
 
and
post-retirement
 
health
 
care
 
plans
 
globally,
 
the
 
largest
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
the
 
US
 
defined
 
benefit
 
schemes.
 
Many
 
of
 
the
 
schemes
 
are
 
funded,
 
with
assets
 
backing
 
the
 
obligations
 
held
 
in
 
separate
 
legal
 
vehicles
 
such
 
as
 
trusts.
 
Others
 
are
 
operated
 
on
 
an
 
unfunded
 
basis.
 
The
 
benefits
 
provided,
the
 
approach
 
to
 
funding,
 
and
 
the
 
legal
 
basis
 
of
 
the

reflect
 
local
 
environments.
 
Governance
 
The
 
UKRF
 
operates
 
under
 
trust
 
law
 
and
 
is
 
managed
 
and
 
administered
 
on
 
behalf
 
of
 
the
 
members
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
terms
 
of
 
the
 
Trust
 
Deed
and
 
Rules
 
and
 
all
 
relevant
 
legislation.
 
The
 
Corporate
 
Trustee
 
is
 
Barclays
 
Pension
 
Funds
 
Trustees
 
Limited,
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
The
 
Trustee
 
Board
 
comprises
 
six
 
Management
 
Directors
 
selected
 
by
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC,
 
of
 
whom
 
three
 
are
 
independent
 
Directors
 
with
 
no
relationship
 
with
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
(and
 
who
 
are
 
not

of
 
the

plus
 
three
 
Member
 
Nominated
 
Directors
 
selected
 
from
eligible
 
active
 
members
 
of
 
the
 
UKRF,
 
deferred
 
members
 
or
 
pensioner
 
members
 
who
 
apply
 
for
 
the
 
role.
The
 
BPSP
 
is
 
a
 
Group
 
Personal
 
Pension
 
arrangement
 
which
 
operates
 
as
 
a
 
collection
 
of
 
personal
 
pension
 
plans.
 
Each
 
personal
 
pension
 
plan
 
is
 
a
direct
 
contract
 
between
 
the
 
employee
 
and
 
the
 
BPSP
 
provider
 
(Legal
 
&
 
General
 
Assurance
 
Society
 
Limited),
 
and
 
is
 
regulated
 
by
 
the
 
FCA.
Similar
 
principles
 
of
 
pension
 
governance
 
apply
 
to
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
other
 
pension
 
schemes,
 
depending
 
on

As
 
at
 
31
 
December
 
2020,
 
the
 
UKRF’s
 
scheme

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

(the
 
“Heron

transaction).
 
The
 
net

of
 
£250m
 
on

is

obligation
 
for
 
the

The

are

although
 
25%
 
of
 
the

are
 
expected
 
to

in
 
the
 
next

and
 
25%
 
in
 
years

to

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:

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

or

of

(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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
expects
 
to
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
recover
 
any
 
surplus.
 
Similarly,
 
a
 
liability
 
in
 
respect
 
of
future
 
minimum
 
funding
 
requirements
 
is
 
not
 
recognised.
The
 
UKRF
 
Trustee
 
does
 
not
 
have
 
a
 
substantive
 
right
 
to
 
augment
 
benefits,
 
nor
 
does
 
it
have
 
the
 
right
 
to

up
 
the

The

and

of

The

was
 
based
 
on
 
a
 
variant
 
of

at

December
 
2020
 
led
 
to
 
a

of
 
£1.2bn.
 
The
 
RPI
 
inflation
 
assumption
 
for
 
2020
 
was
 
set
 
by
 
reference
 
to
 
the
 
Bank
 
of
England’s
 
implied
 
inflation
 
curve.
 
The
 
inflation
 
assumption
 
incorporates
 
a
 
deduction
 
of
 
20
 
basis
 
points
 
as
 
an
 
allowance
 
for
 
an
 
inflation

The
 
methodology
 
used
 
to
 
derive
 
the

assumptions
 
is
 
consistent
 
with
 
that
 
used
 
at
 
the
 
prior

The

assumptions
 
are
 
based
 
on

from
 
an
 
analysis
 
in

of

experience,
 
and
 
taking
 
account
 
of
 
recent
 
evidence
 
from

surveys.
 
An

On

December
 
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
 
Bank
 
Group
 
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

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

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.
The
 
UKRF
 
also
 
employs
 
derivative
 
instruments,
 
where
 
appropriate,
 
to
 
achieve
 
a
 
desired
 
exposure
 
or
 
return,
 
or
 
to
 
match
 
assets
 
more
 
closely
 
to
liabilities.
 
The
 
value
 
of
 
assets
 
shown
 
reflects
 
the
 
assets
 
held
 
by
 
the
 
schemes,
 
with
 
any
 
derivative
 
holdings
 
reflected
 
on
 
a
 
fair
 
value
 
basis.

Approximately
 
45%

assets
 
are
 
invested
 
in
 
liability-driven
 
investment
 
strategies;
 
primarily
 
UK
 
gilts
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
interest
 
rate

swaps.
 
These
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
better
 
match
 
the
 
assets
 
to
 
its
 
liabilities.
 
The
 
swaps
 
are
 
used
 
to
 
reduce
 
the

risks
 
against

Triennial
 
Valuation
The
 
latest
 
annual
 
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
 
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.
 
The
 
deficit

contributions
 
agreed

Consolidated

.
 
The
 
consolidated
 
financial

combine
 
the
 
financial
statements
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
and
 
all
 
of
 
its
 
subsidiaries.
 
Subsidiaries
 
are
 
entities
 
over
 
which
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
control.
 
Under
 
IFRS
10,
 
this
 
is
 
when
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

are

and
 
consistent

are

for
 
the
 
purposes
 
of
 
the

Changes
 
in
 
ownership
 
interests
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
accounted
 
for
 
as
 
equity
 
transactions
 
if
they
 
occur
 
after
 
control
 
has
 
been
 
obtained
 
and
 
they
 
do
 
not
 
result
 
in
 
loss
 
of
 
control.
The
 
significant
 
judgements
 
used
 
in
 
applying
 
this
 
policy
 
are
 
set
 
out
 
below.
Accounting
 
for
 
investment
 
in
 
subsidiaries
In
 
the
 
individual
 
financial
 
statements
 
of
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC,
 
investments
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
are
 
stated
 
at
 
cost
 
less
 
impairment.
Investments
 
in
 
subsidiaries,
 
the
 
majority
 
of
 
which
 
are
 
engaged
 
in
 
banking
 
related
 
activities,
 
are
 
recorded
 
on
 
the
 
balance
 
sheet
 
at
 
historical
 
cost
less
 
any
 
impairment.
 
At
 
31
 
December
 
2020
 
the
 
historical
 
cost
 
of
 
investments
 
in
 
subsidiaries
 
was
 
£18,059m
 
(2019:
 
£16,606m),
 
and
 
impairment
allowances
 
recognised
 
against
 
these
 
investments
 
totalled
 
£279m
 
(2019:
 
£501m).
 
The
 
increase
 
in
 
historical
 
cost
 
is
 
predominantly
 
due
 
to
 
capital
injections
 
into
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Ireland
 
PLC.
 
The
 
reduction
 
in
 
impairment
 
is
 
predominantly
 
due
 
to
 
the
 
liquidation
 
of
 
subsidiaries
 
which
 
had
 
been
previously
 
impaired.
 
At
 
the
 
end
 
of
 
each
 
reporting
 
period
 
an
 
impairment
 
review
 
is
 
undertaken
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
investment
 
in
 
subsidiaries.
 
Impairment
 
is
 
indicated
 
where
the
 
investment
 
exceeds
 
the
 
recoverable
 
amount.
The
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
is
 
an
 
estimate
 
of
 
fair
 
value
 
less
 
costs
 
to
 
sell.
The
 
investment
 
in
Barclays
 
Investment
 
Management
 
Limited
 
of
 
£704m
 
showed
 
a
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
of
 
£688m
 
resulting
 
in
 
an
 
impairment
 
being
 
recognised
 
of
£16m.
 
Also,
 
the
 
investment
 
in
 
BNC
 
Brazil
 
Consultoria
 
Empresarial
 
Limitada
 
of
 
£35m
 
showed
 
a
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
of
 
£24m
 
resulting
 
in
 
an
impairment
 
being
 
recognised
 
of
 
£11m.
 
The
 
recoverable
 
amount
 
was
 
higher
 
than
 
the
 
carrying
 
value
 
of
 
all
 
other
 
investments
 
in
 
subsidiaries.

Ownership
 
interests
 
are
 
in
 
some
 
cases
 
different
 
to

interests,

Significant
 
judgements
 
and
 
assumptions
 
used
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
scope
 
of
 
the
 
consolidation
Determining
 
whether
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
significant
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
control
 
of
 
an
 
entity.
 
However,
 
the
entity
 
set
 
out
 
below
 
is
 
excluded
 
from
 
consolidation
 
because
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
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
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
principal
 
subsidiary
 
companies
 
have
 
assets
 
and
 
liabilities
 
before
 
intercompany
 
eliminations
 
of
 
£417bn
 
(2019:
£307bn)
 
and
 
£393bn
 
(2019:
 
£285bn)
 
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
 
Bank
 
PLC,
 
on
 
a
 
going
 
concern

Asset
 
encumbrance
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
uses
 
its
 
financial
 
assets
 
to
 
raise
 
finance
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
securitisations
 
and
 
through
 
the
 
liquidity
 
schemes
 
of
 
central
banks,
 
as
 
well
 
as
 
to
 
provide
 
security
 
to
 
the
 
UK
 
Retirement
 
Fund.
 
Once
 
encumbered,
 
the
 
assets
 
are
 
not
 
available
 
for
 
transfer
 
around
 
the
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
The
 
assets
 
typically
 
affected
 
are
 
disclosed
 
in
 
Note
 
36.
Other
 
restrictions
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
is
 
required
 
to
 
maintain
 
balances
 
with
 
central
 
banks
 
and
 
other
 
regulatory
 
authorities
 
and
 
these
 
amounted
 
to
 
£3,119m

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.

the
 
entity
 
and
 
its
 
exposure
 
to
 
and
 
ability
 
to
 
influence
 
its
 
own
 
returns,
 
it
 
may
consolidate
 
the

the
 
Barclays

An

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group.
 
Such
 
interests
 
include
 
holdings
 
of
 
debt
 
or

securities,
 
derivatives
 
that
 
transfer
financial
 
risks
 
from
 
the

arrangements,
 
short-term

interests
 
and
 
traded

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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

December
 
2020,

Traded
 
derivatives
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

in

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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
subject
 
to
 
changes
 
in
 
market
 
rates
 
of
 
interest,
 
exchange
rates
 
and
 
credit
 
indices
 
which
 
by
 
their
 
nature
 
are
 
uncertain.
 
In
 
addition,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
losses
 
would
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
mitigating
 
action
under
 
its

risk
 
and

that

in
 
most

Securitisations
Accounting
 
for
 
securitisations
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
materia
 
l
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

Continuing
 
involvement
 
in
 
financial
 
assets
 
that
 
have
 
been
 
derecognised
In
 
some
 
cases,
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s
 
involvement
with
 
asset
 
backed
 
securities,
 
residential
 
mortgage
 
backed
 
securities
 
and
 
commercial
 
mortgage
 
securities.
 
Continuing
 
involvement
 
largely
 
arises
from
 
providing
 
financing
 
into
 
these
 
structures
 
in
 
the
 
form
 
of
 
retained
 
notes,
 
which
 
do
 
not
 
bear
 
first
 
losses.

table
 
below
 
shows
 
the
 
potential
 
financial
 
implications

such

involvement:

Interest
 
rate
 
benchmark
 
reform
Following
 
the
 
financial
 
crisis,
 
the
 
reform
 
and
 
replacement
 
of
 
benchmark
 
interest
 
rates
 
such
 
as
 
LIBOR
 
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
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Group
 
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.
 
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
 
Barclays
Group
 
Finance
 
Director
 
is
 
Chair
 
of
 
the
 
UK’s
 
‘Working
 
Group
 
on
 
Sterling
 
Risk-Free
 
Reference
 
Rates’,
 
whose
 
mandate
 
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
 
Barclays
Bank
 
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
 
the
 
Group
 
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.
 
The
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
has
 
in
 
place
 
detailed
 
plans,
 
processes
 
and
procedures
 
to
 
support
 
the
 
transition
 
of
 
the
 
remainder
 
during
 
2021.
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
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
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

Operational
 
Risk:
The

cuts
 
across
 
all
 
businesses
 
and
 
functions.
 
There
 
are
 
a

of

arising
 
from

including
 
technology,
 
operations,

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
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
and
 
its
 
clients
 
that
 
markets
 
are
 
disrupted
 
due
 
to
 
IBOR
 
reform.
 
This
 
could
give
 
rise
 
to
 
financial
 
losses
 
should
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group
 
be
 
unable
 
to
 
operate
 
effectively
 
in
 
financial
 
markets.
Accounting
 
risk:
 
This
 
would
 
occur
 
if
 
the
 
hedged
 
items
 
and
 
hedging
 
instruments
 
of
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank

were
 
to
 
transition
 
away
 
from

at
 
different
 
times;
 
to
 
different
 
benchmarks;
 
or
 
using
 
divergent

resulting
 
in
significant

to
 
the

A

would
 
carry
 
substantial
 
economic,
 
legal,
 
regulatory,
 
reputational
 
and
 
operational
 
risks
 
for
 
the
 
Barclays

The
 
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

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

calculated
 
by

in

on
 
such

on
 
such

may
 
be

by

to

thereof.
The

the
Company

Dividends
 
may
 
be

on

if,
 
in
 
the
 
opinion
 
of

the

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

before)
 
the

payment
 
date
 
on
 
any
 
class
 
of
 
shares
 
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,

(b)
 
redeem,
purchase,

otherwise

of

other

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.
Redemption
 
and
 
Purchase
Subject
 
to
 
applicable
 
legislation
 
and
 
the
 
rights
 
of
 
the
 
other
 
shareholders,
 
any
 
share
 
may
 
be
 
issued
 
on
 
terms
 
that
 
it
 
is,
 
at
 
the
 
option
 
of
 
the
Company
 
or
 
the
 
holder
 
of
 
such
 
share,
 
redeemable.
 
The
 
Directors
 
are
 
authorised
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
terms,
 
conditions
 
and
 
manner
 
of
 
redemption
of
 
any
 
such
 
shares
 
under
 
the
 
Articles
 
of
 
Association.
Calls
 
on
 
capital
The
 
Directors
 
may
 
make
 
calls
 
upon
 
the
 
members
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
any
 
monies
 
unpaid
 
on
 
their
 
shares.
 
A
 
person
 
upon
 
whom
 
a
 
call
 
is
 
made
 
remains
liable
 
even
 
if
 
the
 
shares
 
in
 
respect
 
of
 
which
 
the
 
call
 
is
 
made
 
have
 
been
 
transferred.
 
Interest
 
will
 
be
 
chargeable
 
on
 
any
 
unpaid
 
amount
 
called
 
at
 
a
rate
 
determined
 
by
 
the
 
Board
 
(of
 
not
 
more
 
than
 
20%
 
per
 
annum).
If
 
a
 
member
 
fails
 
to
 
pay
 
any
 
call
 
in
 
full
 
(following
 
notice
 
from
 
the
 
Board
 
that
 
such
 
failure
 
will
 
result
 
in
 
forfeiture
 
of
 
the
 
relevant
 
shares),
 
such
shares
 
(including
 
any
 
dividends
 
declared
 
but
 
not
 
paid)
 
may
 
be
 
forfeited
 
by
 
a
 
resolution
 
of
 
the
 
Board,
 
and
 
will
 
become
 
the
 
property
 
of
 
the
Company.
 
Forfeiture
 
shall
 
not
 
absolve
 
a
 
previous
 
member
 
for
 
amounts
 
payable
 
by
 
him/her
 
(which
 
may
 
continue
 
to
 
accrue
 
interest).
The
 
Company
 
also
 
has
 
a
 
lien
 
over
 
all
 
partly
 
paid
 
shares
 
of
 
the
 
Company
 
for
 
all
 
monies
 
payable
 
or
 
called
 
on
 
that
 
share
 
and
 
over
 
the
 
debts
 
and
liabilities
 
of
 
a
 
member
 
to
 
the
 
Company.
 
If
 
any
 
monies
 
which
 
are
 
the
 
subject
 
of
 
the
 
lien
 
remain
 
unpaid
 
after
 
a
 
notice
 
from
 
the
 
Board
 
demanding
payment,
 
the
 
Company
 
may
 
sell
 
such
 
shares.

The

is
 
a
 
summary
 
of
 
certain
 
UK
 
tax
 
issues
 
which
 
are

It
 
is
 
based
 
on
 
the
 
current
 
laws
 
of
 
England

and
 
the

of
 
Her
 
Majesty’s
 
Revenue
 
and
 
Customs
 
(‘HMRC’),
 
each
 
of
which
 
may
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
change,
 
possibly
 
with
 
retrospective
 
effect.
 
It
 
is
 
a
 
general

(i)
 
Taxatio
 
n
 
of
 
dividends
In
 
accordance
 
with
 
UK
 
law,
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
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
 
Bank
 
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
 
2018-2019
 
and
 
2019-2020
 
tax
 
years,
 
the
 
Nil
 
Rate
 
Amount
was
 
£2,000.
 
For
 
the
 
2016-2017
 
and
 
2017-2018
 
tax
 
years,
 
the
 
Nil
 
Rate
 
Amount
 
was
 
£5,000.
Where
 
the
 
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
received
 
by
 
an
 
individual
 
shareholder
 
in
 
a
 
tax
 
year
 
exceeds
 
the
 
relevant
 
Nil
 
Rate
 
Amount
 
for
 
that
 
tax
 
year,
 
the
excess
 
amount
 
(the
 
‘Remaining
 
Dividend
 
Income’)
 
will
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
at
 
the
 
following
 
rates:
(a)
 
at
 
the
 
rate
 
of
 
7.5%
 
on
 
any
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
Remaining
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
that
 
falls
 
within
 
the
 
basic
 
tax
 
band;
(b)
 
at
 
the
 
rate
 
of
 
32.5%
 
on
 
any
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
Remaining
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
that
 
falls
 
within
 
the
 
higher
 
tax
 
band;
 
and
(c)
 
at
 
the
 
rate
 
of
 
38.1%
 
on
 
any
 
portion
 
of
 
the
 
Remaining
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
that
 
falls
 
within
 
the
 
additional
 
tax
 
band.
In
 
determining
 
the
 
tax
 
band
 
the
 
Remaining
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
falls
 
within
 
for
 
a
 
tax
 
year,
 
the
 
individual
 
shareholder’s
 
Total
 
Dividend
 
Income
 
for
 
the
tax
 
year
 
in
 
question
 
(including
 
the
 
portion
 
comprising
 
the
 
Nil
 
Rate
 
Amount)
 
will
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
the
 
top
 
slice
 
of
 
the
 
shareholder’s
 
total
 
income
 
for
UK
 
income
 
tax
 
purposes.
Subject
 
to
 
special
 
rules
 
for
 
small
 
companies,
 
UK
 
resident
 
shareholders
 
within
 
the
 
charge
 
to
 
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
will
 
not
 
generally
 
be
 
subject
 
to
UK
 
corporation
 
tax
 
on
 
the
 
dividends
 
paid
 
on
 
the
 
Shares,
 
provided
 
the
 
dividend
 
falls
 
within
 
an
 
exempt
 
class
 
and
 
certain
 
conditions
 
are
 
met.
(ii)
 
Taxation
 
of
 
capital
 
gains
The
 
disposal
 
of
 
Shares
 
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).
 
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.
(iii)
 
Stamp
 
duty
 
and
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
Dealings
 
in
 
Shares
 
will
 
generally
 
be
 
subject
 
to
 
UK
 
stamp
 
duty
 
or
 
stamp
 
duty
 
reserve
 
tax
 
(although
 
see
 
the
 
comments
 
below
 
as
 
regards
 
ADSs
 
in
the
 
section
 
‘Taxation
 
of
 
US

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

to

on
 
the

This

is
 
based
 
in

upon
 
the

A
 
“US

is
 
a

of

that

a
 
citizen

of
 
the

that

under
 
the

In

the

of
 
the

the

Convention,
 
and
 
the
 
Code.
 
Generally,
 
exchanges
 
of
 
shares
 
for

Subject

the
 
Depositary
 
receives
 
the

deduction
 
allowed

under
 
the

Subject
 
to

dividends
 
paid
 
by
 
Barclays
 
Bank

to
 
an

to
 
the

Dividends
 
paid
 
on
 
the

(ii)
 
Barclays

in
 
the

of
 
the

or
 
the
 
immediately

The
 
US
 
Treasury
 
has
 
determined
 
that
 
the
 
Treaty
 
meets
 
the
requirements
 
for
 
reduced
 
rates
 
of

and
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
PLC
 
believes
 
that
 
it
 
is

the

of
 
the

Based
 
on
 
its
 
audited
financial
 
statements
 
and
 
relevant
 
market
 
and
 
shareholder
 
date,
 
Barclays
 
Bank

believes
 
that
 
it

In
 
addition,
 
based

regarding
 
the

Barclays

does
 
not
 
anticipate

For
 
foreign

purposes,
 
dividends
 
will
 
generally
 
be
 
income
 
from
 
sources
 
outside
 
the

and
 
will
 
generally

for
 
purposes
 
of
 
computing
 
the
foreign
 
tax
 
credit
 
allowable
 
to
 
a
 
US
 
Holder.
The
 
amount
 
of
 
the
 
dividend
 
distribution
 
includable
 
in

will

Distributions
 
in

as

in

Because
 
Barclays

does
 
not
currently
 
maintain
 
calculations
 
of
 
earnings
 
and
 
profits
 
for

purposes,
 
US
 
Holders
 
should
 
expect
 
that
 
distributions
 
with

to
 
the

will
 
generally
 
be
 
treated
 
as

Subject

rules
 
discussed
 
below,
 
upon
 
a
 
sale
 
or
 
other
 
taxable

of
 
the

US
 
Holders
 
generally
 
will

will
 
realise

in
 
an

in
 
the

as

Such

will
 
generally

if
 
the

Long-term
 
capital
gain
 
of
 
a

US
 
Holder
 
is
 
generally
 
taxed
 
at
 
preferential

The

Taxation
 
of
 
passive

(PFICs)
Barclays

believes
 
that

(“PFIC”)
 
for

this
 
conclusion

In
 
general,
Barclays

will
 
be
 
a

with

to
 
a
 
US

for
 
any

for
 
the

is
 
passive

or
 
(ii)
 
at

50%
 
of
 
the

determined
 
on
 
the

(including
 
cash).
 
With
 
certain
 
exceptions,
 
a
 
US
 
Holder’s

will
 
be
 
treated
 
as
 
stock
 
of

with

to

such

ratably
 
over
 
a
US
 
Holder’s
 
holding

for
 
the

under

have
 
not

The
 
United

has
 
entered
 
into
 
an

agreement
 
regarding
 
the
 
implementation
 
of

(the

IGA”).
 
Under
 
the

IGA,
 
as
 
currently

it
 
is
 
not
 
expected
 
that
 
Barclays

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

in
 
the

Investors

Barclays
 
does
 
not
 
allocate
 
profits
 
at
 
the
 
level
 
of
 
these
 
activities,
 
which
 
in
 
any
 
event
 
would
 
not
 
be
 
significant,
 
and
 
we
therefore
 
report
 
only
 
gross
 
revenue
 
where
 
measurable.
 
Barclays
 
attributed
 
revenue
 
of
 
approximately
 
GBP
 
425
 
in
 
2020
 
in
 
relation
 
to
 
the
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.
Lease
 
Payments
Barclays
 
is
 
party
 
to
 
a
 
long-term
 
lease,
 
entered
 
into
 
in
 
1979,
 
with
 
the
 
National
 
Iranian
 
Oil
 
Company
 
(“NIOC”),
 
pursuant
 
to
 
which
 
Barclays
 
rents
part
 
of
 
NIOC
 
House
 
in
 
London
 
for
 
a
 
Barclays
 
branch.
 
The
 
lease
 
is
 
for
 
60
 
years,
 
contains
 
no
 
early
 
termination
 
clause,
 
and
 
has
 
19
 
years
remaining.
 
Barclays
 
makes
 
quarterly
 
lease
 
payments
 
in
 
GBP
 
to
 
an

that
 
is
 
owned
 
by
 
the
 
Government
 
of
 
Iran.
 
The

difficulties
 
in

Both

‘Credit
 
spread’
 
The
 
premium
 
over
 
the
 
benchmark
 
or
 
risk-free

‘Credit
 
Valuation
 
Adjustment
 
(CVA)’
 
The
 
difference
 
between
 
the
 
risk-free
 
value
 
of
 
a
 
portfolio

and
 
the
 
market
 
value
which
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
counterparty’s
 
risk
 
of

The
 
CVA
 
therefore
 
represents
 
an

of
 
the
 
adjustment
 
to
 
fair
value
 
that
 
a

value
 
which
 
takes
 
into
 
account
 
the
 
Barclays
 
Bank
 
Group’s

The
 
DVA,

an
 
estimate
 
of
 
the
 
adjustment
 
to
 
fair
 
value
 
that
 
a
 
market

The
 
DVA
 
decreases
 
the
 
value
 
of
 
a
liability
 
to
 
take
 
into
 
account
 
a

can
 
be
 
used
 
by
 
the
 
CCP
 
to
 
cover

The

which
 
generally
 
occurs
 
at

period,
 
is

capital
 
or

‘Internal
 
Assessment
 
Approach
 
(IAA)’
One
 
of
 
three
 
types
 
of

that
 
a
 
bank
 
with
 
permission
 
to
 
use
 
the
 
Internal
 
Ratings
Based
 
(IRB)
 
approach
 
may
 
apply
 
to
 
securitisation
 
exposures.
 
It
 
consists
 
of
 
mapping
 
a
 
bank's
 
internal
 
rating
 
methodology
 
for
credit
 
exposures
 
to
 
those
 
of
 
an
 
External
 
Credit
 
Assessment
 
Institution
 
(ECAI)
 
to
 
determine
 
the
 
appropriate
 
risk
 
weight
 
based
 
on
the
 
ratings
 
based
 
approach.
 
Its
 
applicability
 
is
 
limited
 
to
 
ABCP
 
programmes
 
related
 
to
 
liquidity
 
facilities
 
and
 
credit
 
enhancement.
‘Internal
 
Capital
 
Adequacy
 
Assessment
 
Process
 
(ICAAP)’
It
 
describes
 
how
 
the
 
firm
 
identifies,
 
manages
 
and
 
qualifies
 
the
 
risks
 
it
is
 
exposed
 
to,
 
in
 
pursuit
 
of
 
its
 
business
 
strategy.
 
It
 
assesses
 
whether
 
the
 
quality
 
and
 
quantity
 
of
 
capital
 
is
 
available
 
to
 
absorb
capital
 
losses
 
for
 
the
 
risks
 
the
 
firm
 
undertakes.
 
The
 
capital
 
adequacy
 
is
 
assessed
 
on
 
a
 
point
 
of
 
time
 
basis
 
and
 
on
 
a
 
forward

basis
 
taking
 
into
 
account
 
baseline
 
and
 
stressed
 
economic
 
capital
 
conditions.
 
‘Internal
 
Ratings
 
Based
 
(IRB)’
 
An
 
approach
 
under
 
the
 
CRR
 
framework
 
that
 
relies
 
on
 
the
 
bank’s
 
internal
 
models
 
to
 
derive
 
the
 
risk
weights
 
.
 
The
 
IRB
 
approach
 
is
 
divided
 
into
 
two
 
alternative
 
applications,
 
Advanced
 
and
 
Foundation:
 
Advanced
 
IRB
 
(A-IRB):
 
the
 
bank
 
uses
 
its
 
own
 
estimates
 
of
 
Probability
 
of
 
Default
 
(PD),
 
Loss
 
Given
 
Default
 
(LGD)
 
and
credit
 
conversion
 
factor
 
to
 
model
 
a
 
given
 
risk
 
exposure.
 
Foundation
 
IRB
 
(F-IRB):
 
the
 
bank
 
applies
 
its
 
own
 
PD
 
as
 
for
 
Advanced,
 
but
 
it
 
uses
 
standard
 
parameters
 
for
 
the
 
LGD
and
 
the
 
credit
 
conversion
 
factor.
 
The
 
Foundation
 
IRB
 
approach
 
is
 
specifically
 
designed
 
for
 
wholesale
 
credit
 
exposures.
Hence
 
retail,
 
equity,
 
securitisation
 
positions
 
and
 
non-credit
 
obligations
 
asset
 
exposures
 
are
 
treated
 
under
 
standardised
or
 
A-IRB.
 
‘Internal
 
Ratings
 
Based
 
approach
 
(SEC-IRBA)’
This
 
is
 
a
method
 
to
 
calculate
 
risk-weighted
 
exposure
 
amounts
 
for
 
securitisation
positions.
 
Under
 
this
 
method,
 
an
 
institution
 
must
 
be
 
able
 
to
 
model
 
regulatory
 
capital
 
requirements
 
for
 
underlying
 
exposures
 
in

if
 
these
 
had

inputs

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

Barclays
 
Bank
 
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

bearing
 
cash
 
loan.
 
The
 
borrower
 
agrees
 
to
 
sell
 
a
 
security
 
to
 
the
 
lender
subject
 
to
 
a
 
commitment
 
to

For
 
the
 
party
 
selling
 
the
 
security
 
(and
agreeing
 
to
 
repurchase
 
it
 
in
 
the

for
 
the
 
counterparty
 
to

transaction
 
(buying
the
 
security
 
and
 
agreeing
 
to
 
sell
 
in
