Notes to the Consolidated statements
■
gradually achieve compliance with the new Basel III liquidity coverage
ratios, through a process that is designed to deliver a sustainable
improvement in asset quality by investing in a dedicated fund eligible
for inclusion in the ratio calculation (LCR – Liquidity Coverage Ratio);
■
diversify refinancing sources to include bank lines of credit, bond
issues, securitization programs, money market issues and customer
deposits. During 2014, Carrefour Banque carried out two major public
placements to support the financing and development of its businesses:
■
€500 million was raised through a four-year variable rate bond
issue carried out in March,
■
€110 million was raised through the November launch of a
revolving credit receivables securitization program, whose master
trust structure will allow Carrefour Banque to dynamically manage
asset-backed securities series issued by the securitization fund.
These two operations, which together raised €610 million, contribute to
the objective of complying with Basel III liquidity ratios by significantly
extending the original life of the Bank’s debt and closely matching the
maturities of loans and borrowings.
In November 2014, Carrefour Banque secured its refinancing sources
by rolling over its €750 million five-year syndicated line of credit and
negotiating two one-year extension options, one year ahead of the facility’s
December 2015 expiry date.
