FUNDAMENTALS OF MPR (CONTD)

AVERAGE BALANCES
• It is an objective form of performance
measurement

occurred during the period
• It discourages end of month “padding”

FUNDAMENTALS OF MPR (CONTD)
THE CONCEPT OF POOL
• Easy transferability of funds among
branches
• All fund sources and uses emanate
from the pool
• Where a unit has more liabilities than
is required for its immediate use such
funds are lent to the pool
• Where a unit utilises funds more than
its capacity for liability generation such
funds are borrowed from the pool
• Lending/Borrowing priced at pool rate

 MPR MANAGEMENT
• Cash Management
-The need to determine average cash need
without incurring stock out costs
- The need to balance cost of holding with
availability
• Risk Assets Management
- Ensure that average rate is well above
Fund rate
- Minimise/Eliminate incidences of bad loans
so as to reduce loan loss provision
• Other Assets
- The need to effectively manage the balance
on these account to avoid/reduce pool
charge
- Constant reconciliation so as to reduce
fictitious assets and reduce possibility of pool

charge
 MPR MANAGEMENT (CONTD)
• Deposits
- Ensure that deposits are priced well
below the pool/fund rate.
- Ensure that deposits mix are skewed
towards DDA to increase margin earned
from the pool
- Try to achieve some level of fund
matching between the OD level and
tenured deposit
- Ensure some level of stability in
funding through Fincon/MIS
growth in savings and 9
term deposit
 MPR MANAGEMENT (CONTD)
• Other Liabilities
- Focus on U/E, Bank Cheques etc as
a source of funding for the following
reasons:
- Balance on these accounts not
adjusted for liquidity purpose
- Income from float is higher than
any other class of liabilities
