to explore a severe downside to the COVID-19 situation, differing from the traditional &ldquo;Annual Cyclical&rdquo; scenario framework.
The test explores whether the Bank has sufficient capital to withstand a severe but plausible outcome based on the current economic environment
based on the Group&rsquo;s balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, and compared the theoretical Common Equity Tier 1 (&ldquo;CET1&rdquo;)
ratio and Tier 1 leverage ratio positions of the Group.</P>
