The program-managed portfolio generally includes retail products such as mortgages, personal lending (including credit

cards) as well as certain small to medium sized enterprise lending. These credit exposures are grouped into pools of

similar risk based on the analysis of characteristics that have historically predicted the likelihood of default, and a PD

is assigned relative to the credit exposure's pool. The exposure is then assigned to strong, satisfactory or weak by

benchmarking that PD against transaction-managed exposures, which are in turn mapped to external ratings per the

above table. In addition, any program-managed exposures that are one or more days past due are classified as weak.

The following table shows the credit quality of loans and undrawn credit commitments.

a.In 2024, the Group revised the methodology that it uses to classify program-managed exposures as strong, satisfactory, or weak. This is a

change in disclosur

e methodology and does not represent a change in underlying credit quality of the Group’s credit exposures. Comparatives

have been revised accordingly.
