Disclosure Report Pursuant to SolvV
The new German Solvency Regulation (SolvV) means that German banks are now required not only to implement new methods for calculating the amount of own funds necessary to back their counterparty credit, market price and operational risks. They must also publish qualitative and quantitative information about their risk exposures and risk management practices.
Apart from the Annual Report of the WestLB Group, which already contains extensive qualitative explanations on risk management processes and accounting principles, the attached Disclosure Report includes additional quantitative regulatory information. The Disclosure Report will contribute towards providing increased transparency on relevant financial information of the Bank.
