RBS – Interim Results 2015
Notes
14. Financial instruments (continued)
Valuation reserves
When valuing financial instruments in the trading book, adjustments are made to mid-market valuations to
cover bid-offer spread, liquidity and credit risk. The table below shows credit valuation adjustments (CVA)
and other valuation reserves. CVA represents an estimate of the adjustment to fair value that a market
participant would make to incorporate the risk inherent in derivative exposures.

set out below.

30 June 2014 7.3 13.0 20.3 0.8 21.1
Notes:
(1) The OCA does not alter cash flows and is not used for performance management.
(2) Includes wholesale and retail note issuances.
(3) The reserve movement between periods will not equate to the reported profit or loss for own credit. The balance sheet reserve is stated by conversion of underlying
currency balances at spot rates for each period, whereas the income statement includes intra-period foreign exchange sell-offs.
Key points
The decrease in CVA was driven by the tightening of credit spreads in the period, as well as the
balance sheet reduction in RCR. The bid-offer reserve decrease was largely related to risk reduction
in CIB Rates.
The cumulative OCA increase during H1 2015 was mainly due to the widening of spreads on RBS
senior issuance, partially offset by a reduction due to the subordinate debt curve tightening. The OC
A
on senior issued debt OCA is determined by reference to secondary debt issuance spreads, the five
year spread widened from 32 basis points at year end 2014 to 77 basis points at 30 June 2015.
