(1)The table shows gross loans only and excludes amounts that were outside the scope of the ECL framework. Other financial assets within the scope of the IFRS 9 ECL framework were cash and balances at central banks totalling £89.5 billion (31 December 2024 - £91.8 billion) and debt securities of £70.8 billion (31 December 2024 - £62.4 billion).
(2)Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Includes loans to customers and banks.
(3)Includes £4 million (31 December 2024 - £4 million) related to assets classified as FVOCI and £0.1 billion (31 December 2024 – £0.1 billion) related to off-balance sheet exposures.
(4)ECL provisions coverage is calculated as ECL provisions divided by loans – amortised cost and FVOCI. It is calculated on loans and total ECL provisions, including ECL for other (non-loan) assets and unutilised exposure. Some segments with a high proportion of debt securities or unutilised exposure may result in a not meaningful (nm) coverage ratio.
(5)Includes a £1 million release (June 2024 – £6 million release) related to other financial assets, with no release (June 2024 – £5 million release) related to assets classified as FVOCI and includes a £10 million charge (June 2024 – £4 million release) related to contingent liabilities.
