On-lent amount

This is a term used in the adjusted on-lent amount calculation for a financial entity to describe all amounts the entity has lent to other entities. It also includes the value of certain leases and certain securities agreements.

    • leases are for six months or more

    • financial entity's business of hiring goods is not carried on predominantly for the purpose of hiring goods to any of its associates
  • the value of securities held by the financial entity that
    • have been sold by the entity under a reciprocal purchase agreement, sell-buyback arrangement or securities loan arrangement, and
    • have not yet been repurchased by the entity under the agreement or arrangement
  • if the entity carries on a business of dealing in securities but not predominately for the purposes of dealing in securities with, or on behalf of, the entity's associates, all the shares that
    • the entity holds
    • are listed for quotation in the official list of an approved stock exchange, and
