| 45. | Information on Regulatory Capital and Capital Adequacy Ratios:
Requirements and Capital Management: The main objectives of the Bank’s capital management are to ensure the adequacy and quality of its capital, at a consolidated level, based on the adequate management of the risks it faces in its operations, establishing sufficient capital levels, through the definition of an internal objective, which supports both the business strategy in normal scenarios, as well as stress scenarios in the short and medium terms, thus ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, coverage of its material risks, a solid credit classification and the generation of adequate capital clearances. During 2022, the Bank has comfortably met the required capital requirements and its internal sufficiency objectives. As part of its Capital Management Policy, the Bank has established capital adequacy alerts and limits, which are monitored by the governance structures that the Bank has established for these purposes, including the Capital Management Committee. During 2022, none of the internal alerts defined by the Bank were activated as part of the Capital Risk Appetite Framework. The Bank manages capital based on its strategic objectives, its risk profile and its ability to generate cash flows, as well as the economic and business context in which it operates. Consequently, the Bank may modify the amount of payment of dividends to its shareholders or issue basic capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital instruments. The adequacy of the Bank’s capital is monitored using, among other measures, the indices and rules established by the CMF, as well as the alerts and internal limits that the Capital Management Committee and board of directors have defined for such purposes. Capital Requirements In accordance with the General Banking Law, the effective equity of a bank may not be less than 8% of its risk-weighted assets (RWA), net of required provisions. Additionally, it establishes that the Basic Capital may not be less than 4.5% of its APR or 3% of its total assets, net of required provisions. Regarding Tier 1 capital, corresponding to the sum of Basic Capital and Additional Tier 1 Capital, the latter in the form of bonds with no maturity date and preferred shares, it is established that it may not be less than 6% of their RWAs, net of required provisions. Likewise, banking entities must comply, as established by current regulations or regulators, with capital buffers, such as the conservation buffer, the systemically important buffer, the countercyclical buffer and/or capital charges by pillar 2. Adoption of the Basel III standard In 2019, the CMF began the regulatory process for the implementation of Basel III standards in Chile, as established in Law No. 21,130 that modernizes banking legislation. During the years 2020 and 2021, the CMF promulgated the different regulations for the adoption of the Basel III standard for local banking, which are applicable as of December 1, 2021. The regulation includes the standard methodologies to determine, among others, Credit, Operational and Market Risk-Weighted Assets, regulatory capital, leverage ratio and systemically important banks. Additionally, the regulations describe requirements and conditions applicable to: (i) the application of internal models for the calculation of certain risk-weighted assets, (ii) the issuance of additional tier 1 and tier 2 capital hybrid instruments, (iii) market disclosure requirements (Pillar 3), (iv) the principles for determining capital buffers (countercyclical and conservation), (v) additional requirements to which banks defined as systemically important and (vi) the criteria by which banks with deficiencies identified in the supervision process (Pillar 2) could be subject to additional capital requirements, among others. The aforementioned Basel III banking solvency standards consider a series of transitory regulations. These measures include: i) the gradual adoption of the conservation buffer, requirements for systemic banks and repeal of the requirements of article 35 of the LGB, ii) the gradual application of adjustments to regulatory capital, iii) the temporary substitution of additional tier 1 capital (AT1) for tier 2 capital instruments, that is, subordinated bonds and additional provisions and iv) gradualness to continue recognizing subordinated bonds issued by banking subsidiaries as effective equity, among other matters. During 2022, the CMF has continued to refine and clarify the application of capital regulation. Information on regulatory capital and capital adequacy indicators is presented below:
