(Alliance News) - AIB Group PLC on Thursday said it had completed its second significant risk transfer, or SRT, on a portfolio of residential mortgage assets.
The Dublin-based lender said the transfer totalling EUR2 billion forms part of its multi-asset SRT programme.
AIB said the completion of the SRT delivers a positive common equity tier 1, CET 1, impact of around 25 basis points.
It added that at the end of September its CET1 ratio was 16.6%. AIB said it remains "strongly" capitalised and comfortably ahead of its CET1 minimum regulatory requirement of 11.30%.
The CET1 ratio compares a bank's capital against its risk assets, with a higher ratio being more financially sound.
AIB Chief Financial Officer Donal Galvin commented: "The reduction of risk weighted assets through the execution of this SRT enhances capital efficiency and generates a CET1 benefit of around 25bps. AIB remains strongly capitalised and comfortably ahead of minimum capital requirements."
AIB shares were flat at 798.00 pence each on Thursday afternoon in London.
