NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
for year ended 31 December 2021

INTRODUCTION

For the greater part of 2021, there was a growing sense of cautious 
optimism that finally the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic was behind 
us.  However,  towards  the  end  of  the  year,  our  resilience  was  put  to 
the  test  once  more  as  the  spread  of  new  variants  necessitated  the 
reintroduction  of  various  restrictions.  That  presented  challenges  to 
businesses  emanating  from  a  slowdown  in  the  global  economy  and 
supply  chain  disruptions.  Despite  these  factors,  the  Zimbabwean 
economy continued to show signs of resilience and recovery.

The  various  economic  stabilization  initiatives,  including  the  foreign 
exchange  auction  system  introduced  in  June  2020,  resulted  in  a 
significant drop in inflation, with year-on-year inflation (Y.o.Y) dropping 
from a high of 837% recorded in July 2020, to 60.74% as of December 
2021.  Month-on-month  inflation  (M.o.M)  averaged  4.05%  during  the 
year 2021.

During  the  period  under  review,  the  local  currency  depreciated  by 
32.9%  from  ZW$81.7866/US$  to  ZW$108.666/US$.  In  2021,  total 
foreign currency receipts inflows into the economy increased by 53% to 
US$9.7 billion, a record high compared to US$6.3 billion in 2020. The 
performance  was  driven  by  increased  commodity  prices,  increased 
capacity utilization across sectors, international remittances, and gold 
incentives put in place by the government.

Notwithstanding the economic headwinds, the economy achieved an 
economic growth rate of 7.8% on the back of the continuation of the 
tight monetary and fiscal consolidation, a good agricultural season and 
the stabilization effect brought by the auction system.

GROUP RESULTS

Financial Performance

Operating income increased from ZW$3.4 billion to ZW$6.98 billion for 
the  year  ended  31  December  2021,  largely  driven  by  growth  in  the 
transaction volumes and values during the period under review. Total 
comprehensive  income  for  the  period  amounted  to  ZW$2.25  billion 
(Dec  2020  -  ZW$1.66  billion). The  Group  achieved  a  basic  earnings 
per share of 463 cents (Dec 2020 – 338 cents).

Operating  expenses  at  ZW$3.5  billion,  were  72%  above  the  2020 
levels, reflecting the effects of inflation and exchange rate depreciation. 
The  Bank  continues  to  pay  special  focus  on  its  digitization  strategy 
which is expected to increase efficiencies resulting in cost reduction.

Financial position

Total assets closed the year at ZW$29.4 billion, up 67% from ZW$ 17.6 
billion as at 31 December 2020, funded by strong growth in customer 
deposits  as  the  banking  subsidiary  continues  to  grow  its  customer 
base.  Customer  deposits  and  other  liabilities  increased  by  85% 
reflecting strong personal and commercial inflows following the easing 
of COVID-19 restrictions.

The  Group’s  investment  property  portfolio  was  valued  at  ZW$3.5 
billion as at 31 December 2021 while property and equipment stood at 
ZW$4.1 billion.The revaluation gains largely reflect the changes in the 
macro economic environment.

Loans and advances and other assets stood at ZW$12.4 billion as at 
31  December  2021,  increasing  by  93%  from  prior  period  levels.  The 
banking  subsidiary  maintained  a  high-quality  loan  book,  closing  the 
year with an NPL ratio of 1.33%.

The Bank maintained a sound liquidity position with a liquidity ratio of 
41% and this was above the statutory minimum of 30%.

Capital

The capital adequacy ratio of the banking subsidiary remained strong 
at 57.48% compared to a regulatory minimum of  12%. The subsidiary 
maintained adequate capital levels to cover all risks and was compliant 
with the minimum capital of the equivalent of USD30 million.

Dividend

The Board has resolved not to declare a dividend in order to fund the 
growth initiatives being pursued by the Group as well as buttress the 
regulatory capital position of the Group’s banking subsidiary.

Blocked Funds

The banking subsidiary owed USD13.4 million to various line of credit 
providers  as  at  31  December  2021  which  have  been  registered  as 
Blocked Funds with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) in line with 
regulatory directives.  In 2021, the Government of Zimbabwe assumed 
the  obligation  to  settle  these  Blocked  Funds  in  terms  of  section  52 
of the Finance Act no 7  of 2021. The Blocked funds are listed under 
Annex 1 of the Finance Act no 7 of 2021. In terms of section 52 of the 
Finance Act no 7 of 2021, outstanding blocked funds may be liquidated 
through  the  issuance  of  Government-backed  zero  coupon  or  non-
interest-bearing  foreign  exchange  savings  bonds  or  such  other  debt 
instruments denominated in foreign currency. The timing of issuance of 
the Government-backed instruments is yet to be advised.

London Stock Exchange Listing

At  the  2021  Annual  General  Meeting,  the  Company  sought  and 
obtained  shareholder  approval  to  delist  from  the  London  Stock 
Exchange following a determination that the regulatory compliance and 
administrative costs that the Company was incurring annually were high 
and  outweighed  any  benefits  derived  or  to  be  derived  from  the  dual 
listing.  Having  obtained  shareholder  approval,  the  Company  applied 
and obtained approval to delist from the London Stock Exchange with 
effect  from  8  July  2021. The  delisting  did  not  adversely  affect  any  of 
our shareholders as the company’s shares continue to be listed on the 
Zimbabwe Stock Exchange where the company has always maintained 
its  primary  listing.  The  number  of  shares  held  on  the  London  Stock 
Exchange  was  198  443  shares.  The  Company  is  in  the  process  of 
winding up administrative processes related to the delisting.

Benson Ndachena also resigned from his post as Chief Finance Officer with effect from 1 October 2021 to pursue other interests. He was replaced by

NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
for year ended 31 December 2021

INTRODUCTION

The  Group  and  its  clients  showed  great  resilience  and  adaptability  in 
the  wake  of  the  constant  evolving  challenges  brought  about  by  the 
COVID-19  pandemic.  The  operating  environment  maintained  a  relative 
stability in the first half although it became susceptible to deterioration in 
the base currency as the year progressed. Year-on-year inflation closed 
the  year  on  60.1%,  while  month-on-month  inflation  averaged  4.5%. The 
economy saw renewed inflationary pressures largely driven by exchange 
rate  deterioration.  This  inevitably  resulted  in  an  increase  in  the  cost  of 
running the business. The group continued on its digitization drive bringing 
efficiency and convenience to our customers.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Group operated profitably for the period under review achieving profit before tax of ZW$2.8 billion (2020 ZW$1.1 billion). The 
Group’s performance was largely driven by the success of our digital transformation strategy and support for key productive sectors of 
the economy. The banking subsidiary’s digitalisation strategy paid off leading to a 99% growth in non-funded income and 103% growth 
in operating income as depicted below.

The banking subsidiary’s innovative products and services led to growth in its corporate and institutional depositors culminating in an 
increase of 85% in deposits and other liabilities which closed the year at ZW$19.1 billion. Loans and other assets grew from ZWL6.4 
billion to ZWL12.4 billion as at 31 December 2021 as the bank continues to partner our clients in their growth path.

BUSINESS REVIEW

The banking subsidiary continued to make inroads into new markets and cement relationships with existing clients through the following 
main business units:

Digital Banking

The  Digital  Banking  department  has  been  seized  with  automation  and  improvement  of  end-to-end  customer  journeys,  including 
digitalising the customer account opening processes. We made it possible for customers to open accounts digitally and transact without 
the need to visit the branch or interact with any of our staff. The account opening solution rolled out during the year cover both low KYC 
account as well as full KYC account opening and gives low KYC account holders a platform to upgrade their accounts digitally. This 
has made our processes efficient and cost effective while delivering real convenience to our customers. Our digital banking platforms 
saw over ZWL170 billion worth of transactions in 2021, almost five times 2020 levels, as transaction activity recovered and customers 
favoured digital payment solutions and reduced their reliance on cash and branch. The division contributed gross income amounting to 
ZW$2.3 billion in 2021 up, 252% from ZW$0.65 billion in 2020.

tribe_28tribe_28NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

Consumer Banking

The  Consumer  Banking  and  Value-Added  Services  (CBVAS)  unit  has  evolved  from  traditional  retail  banking  and  now  comprises  a 
suite  of  financial  services  that  are  largely  delivered  through  digital  channels.  Our  combination  of  physical  (branches  and  agencies) 
and digital touch points (USSD (*241#) and NMBConnect platforms) have improved access to banking products for our existing and 
potential customers across the country particularly the previously non and underbanked. Demand for credit remained strong during the 
period driven by household needs and our digital platforms enabled the vast majority of individual clients, particularly civil servants, to 
apply for personal loans without the need to physically visit the bank, which was a first in the market. The absence of long term funding 
has curtailed long term mortgage lending. Funding for housing has largely been restricted to short term equity release facilities. We 
deepened our Bancassurance offerings as we onboarded five new insurance partners under our multi-agency license. We are well on 
course to be the insurance payment partner of choice in the market as we digitalise premium payments across all insurance types. The 
banking subsidiary setup a dedicated Money Transfer Agency (MTA) center to conveniently serve the general public receiving cash 
from the diaspora. The center has flexible trading hours and customer experience that is next to none as we have shorter queues.  
Apart from lending income, the division contributed gross fees and commissions of ZW$1.59 billion compared to ZW$450 million in the 
previous year.

Business Banking

The Business Banking division continued to develop strong business relationships in the market across a diversified range of sectors 
including key areas supporting economic activity. We remained relevant to our Corporate and SME clients by providing customised 
lending products which meet their exact needs. The Agriculture sector was bolstered by the floating of a ZW$2 billion Agrobond whose 
proceeds are being deployed in various agricultural value chains. The Bank signed a USD15 million credit line with a developmental 
finance partner which is currently being disbursed in selected long-term projects. This is up an above another line of US$20 million from 
a regional funder which was fully utilized.

Risk Management

As a result of its strong balance sheet and prudent approach to risk management, the Group remains well placed to withstand these 
aftershocks of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as providing support to customers when they need it most. The Group, has the 3 lines 
of defense model in place with respect to Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Firstly, the frontline and support functions have clearly 
defined roles and responsibilities in risk management. Secondly, the Risk Management and Compliance Divisions then independently 
review the first line activities and finally, the Internal Audit department which is also independent of first and second line of defense. 

The  Group  has  maintained  a  strong  capital  base  to  cover  for  Pillar  1  Risks  (Credit,  Market  and  Operational  Risks)  as  well  as  the 
additional risks identified through the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). The Bank’s core capital was above the 
set minimum regulatory requirement of USD30 million equivalent for tier 1 banks with our capital adequacy ratio at 34.35% against a 
regulatory minimum of 12%.

CORPORATE SOCIAL INVESTMENTS AND SUSTAINABILITY

During the period under review, the Group channelled its Corporate Social Investments towards education and support of disadvantaged 
and vulnerable groups. The Group donated COVID-19 PPEs and foodstuffs to Emerald Hill Children’s Home and Friends of Dzikwa 
Society which assist orphans and vulnerable children in providing for their education and well-being. The Group also participated in 
cancer awareness campaigns by donating a desktop computer to KidzCan Zimbabwe and sponsoring their fundraising initiatives, the 
KidzCan MudRun.

Pursuant to the banking subsidiary’s digitization thrust, the Group sponsored the Global Renaissance Investments 13th Edition Online 
Digital Indaba and Awards. The Group is committed to providing sustainable solutions to its customers as well as to its own operations. 
The Bank continued to raise affordable long-term funding through lines of credit to support players in key economic sectors by financing 
their capital expenditure projects in manufacturing, agriculture and construction. On the green solutions side, the Group doubled its 
solar power output and the Head Office is now 100% off-grid.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

The Group is setting itself up to take advantage of the opportunities that are presenting themselves in the market. We are poised for 
growth and diversification which will see us launch a number of new business units in the very near future. I am excited about the 
prospects and am confident that these initiatives will be of great benefit to our customers and stakeholders.

APPRECIATION

I thank the Board and shareholders for entrusting me to lead the team and take the Group to the next growth phase. I would also want 
to appreciate our former CEO Mr. Washaya for his immense contribution to the Group. I am sincerely grateful to our valued clients, 
depositors, shareholders, stakeholders and regulatory authorities for their support.

are equipped with the relevant knowledge and skills to oversee the implementation of the Company’s strategic objectives. 
During the year under review, it was not possible to have physical training sessions for the greater part of the year due to 
the  COVID-19  pandemic  and  the  attendant  lockdowns  and  this  negatively  affected  the  Director’s  training  calendar.  The 
Board adjusted to virtual Director training and the Directors received training on Financial Crime, Anti-Money Laundering / 
Combating Financing of Terrorism during the year under review.

Board Meetings

The Board holds meetings on a quarterly basis and as and when necessary to do so. The Board Meetings Calendar is set 
and approved in advance. During the year under review the Board held 4 meetings, once in each quarter. Due to the Covid-19 
pandemic, three of the four meetings were held virtually. The focus areas for the Board during the year included strategy, 
business continuity, financial performance, risk management and governance. The Board Chair aims to ensure that adequate 
time is allocated to each agenda item to allow for thorough debate and challenge during meetings. It is a tenet of the Board 
that all Directors be allowed to independently exercise their judgment and to actively participate during meetings. To assist 
the Board in the discharge of its duties, management prepare comprehensive reports for Board and Committee meetings 
which are circulated in advance of the meetings to allow Directors to have timely and up to date information which they use in 
their decision making. Further, Executive and Senior management attend meetings by invitation and attest to the adequacy 
and accuracy of information submitted to the Board.

Annual Board Evaluation

Board  and  Director  evaluations  are  useful  in  that  they  assist  the  Board  and  Senior  management  to  identify  potential 
opportunities and areas for improvement, provide a platform to remind Directors of their role and responsibilities, provide 
Directors an opportunity to confidentially raise any concerns or feedback they may have and provide the Chairperson with 
an opportunity to address any performance shortfalls / weaknesses in the board or any of its committees. In line with the 
RBZ Corporate Governance Guideline the Board undertakes an annual performance evaluation. The assessment involves 
a review of the performance of the Board, the Board Chairperson and Individual Director Performance. A report summarising 
the evaluation process, the outcome and the action plan arising out of the evaluation is submitted to the Reserve Bank 
of Zimbabwe by the 31st of March each year. The Board conducted its evaluation during the year under review and the 
evaluation concluded that Board performance was Strong. 

Company Secretary

The  Directors  have  access  to  the  Company  Secretary  whose  role  includes  the  provision  of  professional  guidance  and 
advice to individual directors and to the Board as a whole. In addition, the Company Secretary is responsible for ensuring 
that the Board adheres to applicable rules, regulations and procedures and ensures the effective functioning of the Board 
through a seamless flow of information between the Board and Management. The Company Secretary also reminds the 
Board of their roles and responsibility to the Company and all its stakeholders.  

Access to Information by Directors

The Board is entitled to seek information concerning the Company from any Group employee or from any other source. 
Directors have the right to attend any meeting of any Board Committee, provided that they first seek the permission of the 
Chairperson of the Committee concerned (which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld) and that the board member 
so concerned, not being a member of the Committee shall not have a right to vote during such meeting. A board member 
who attends a Committee meeting of which they are not a member is not entitled to a fee for such attendance.

Independent Auditor’s report 

To the Shareholders of NMBZ Holdings Limited 

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Inflation Adjusted Financial Statements 

Introductions 

inflation  adjusted 

the  accompanying 

financial  statements  of  NMBZ 
We  have  audited 
Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group), as set out on pages 2233  ttoo  9999, which comprise the 
inflation adjusted statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 and the related inflation 
adjusted  statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the  inflation  adjusted  statement  of  changes  in 
equity  and the  inflation adjusted  statement  of  cash  flows  for  the  year  then  ended,  and  notes  to 
the  financial  statements,  including  a  summary  of  significant  accounting  policies  and  other 
explanatory notes.   

In  our  opinion,  except  for  the  effects  of  the  matters  described  in  the  Basis  for  qualified  opinion 
section, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the financial 
positions of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for 
the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), and the 
manner required by the Companies and Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) and the Banking Act 
(Chapter 24:20). 

Basis for qualified opinion 

Matter 1: Non-compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards IAS 21- The Effects 
of  Changes 
in 
Accounting Estimates and Errors. 

in  Foreign  Exchange  Rates  and  IAS  8  -  Accounting  Polices,  Changes 

Impact of the prior year modification on the current year audit opinion and opening balances 

Historical date of change in functional currency 
As  explained  in  note  2.19  to  the  inflation  adjusted  financial  statements,  the  Bank  changed  its 
functional and reporting currency from United States Dollar (US$) to Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL) on 22 
February 2019 in compliance with Statutory Instrument 33 of 2019.  

Our  most  recent  year  end  audit  report  was  modified  due  to  the  impact  of  an  incorrect  date  of 
change in functional currency. We believed that the change occurred on 1 October 2018 in terms of 
IAS21  given  the  significant  monetary  and  exchange  control  policy  changes  witnessed 
in 
Zimbabwe  from 2016 through to 2019. 

Management  has  not  restated  the  prior  year  amounts  in  line  with  the  requirements  of  IAS8, 
consequently,  the  following  corresponding  elements  remain  misstated  on  the  inflation  adjusted 
financial statements; Property, plant and equipment, Intangible assets, Deferred tax liability, Capital 
reserves,  Revaluation  reserve,  retained  earnings,  Net  foreign  exchange  gains  and  Revaluation  of 
land  and  buildings.  Our  opinion  on  the  current  period’s  consolidated 
inflation  adjusted 
financial  statements  is  therefore  modified  because  of  the  possible  effect  of  this  matter  on  the 
comparability of the current period’s figures and the corresponding figures.

NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021Independent Auditor’s report (continued) 

NMBZ Holdings Limited 

On  date  of  change  in  functional  currency,  management  translated  elements  on  the  financial 
statements  using  different  exchange  rates  which  resulted  in  a  misbalance  which  was  recorded 
directly  in  equity  as  a  functional  currency  translation  reserve  of  ZWL      462 166  697(2020:  ZWL    
462 166 697). This is not in line with the requirements of IFRS. 

Exchange rates used in prior year 
Further contributing to the adverse opinion was the use of inappropriate exchange rates which did 
not meet IAS21 requirements for a spot rate from 22 February 2019 to 22 June 2020. The interbank 
exchange  rate  was  used  to  translate  foreign  denominated  transactions  and  balances  to  ZWL 
functional currency; however, the rate was not available for immediate delivery therefore not a spot 
rate in terms of IFRS. The misstatements could however not be quantified as an appropriate exchange 
rate had not been identified.  

Management  has  not  made  retrospective  adjustments  in  terms  of  IAS  8  to  correct  this  matter. 
Corresponding  numbers  relating  to  Fee  and  commission  income,  Operating  expenditure,  net 
exchange  gains/losses  and  retained  earnings  on  the  consolidated  inflation  adjusted  financial 
statements. Our opinion on the current period’s consolidated inflation adjusted financial statements 
is modified because of the possible effects of the above matter on the comparability of the current 
period’s figures and the corresponding figures.   

Matter 2: Accounting for blocked funds 

Included in Loans, advances and other assets of ZWL 12 367 842 540(2020: ZWL  6 417 670 852 ) 
on  Note  20  to  the  inflation  adjusted  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  31 
December  2021  are  local  balances  denominated  in  the  Bank’s  functional  currency.  Of  this,  local 
balances  amounting  to  ZWL1  507  838  292  (2020:  ZWL1  128  781  333)  which  are  held  with  the 
central bank have been treated as foreign currency and translated at the foreign auction exchange 
rate of 31 December 2021 in contravention of IAS 21 which defines ‘foreign currency’ as a currency 
other than the functional currency of the entity resulting in an overstatement of the balance. Our 
prior year audit report was also modified due to this matter. 

The  prior  year  audit  report  was  also  modified  for  this  issue.  Our  opinion  on  the  current  period’s 
inflation adjusted consolidated financial statements is also modified because of the possible effects 
of  the  above  matter  on  the  comparability  of  the  current  period’s  figures  and  the  corresponding 
figures. Management has not made adjustments in terms of IAS 8 to correct this matter therefore 
the  matter  continues  to  impact  the  following  amounts  on  the  consolidated  inflation  adjusted 
statement of comprehensive income: 

•  Net foreign exchange gains ZWL 156 701 217 (2020: ZWL 207 087 364) 

Matter 3: Valuation of investment properties and premises 

The Bank’s investment properties and premises are carried at ZWL 3 518 133 464 (2020: ZWL  2 
657 783 640) and ZWL 2 845 703 978 (2020: ZWL 2 317 820 761) respectively as at 31 December 
2021  as  described  on  Notes  23  and  25.  The  investment  properties  were  valued  using  USD 
denominated inputs and converted  to  ZWL  at  the  closing auction rate. We  believe  that  applying  a 
conversion  rate  to  a  USD  valuation  to  calculate  ZWL  property  values  may  not  be  an  accurate 
reflection of market dynamics, as risks associated  with currency trading do  not always reflect the 
risks associated with property trading.  

Consequently, property values may be materially misstated, and we are unable to determine what 
adjustments may be necessary to correctly account for these amounts. 

                                                                        2 

17

tribe_28tribe_28NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 
 
Independent Auditor’s report (continued) 

NMBZ Holdings Limited 

The prior year audit report was also modified due to inappropriate valuation of investment property 
and  freehold  land  and  buildings  using  foreign  currency  inputs  and  translating  to  ZWL  using  the 
auction rate. Management has not made retrospective adjustments to correct this matter and thus 
the matter continues to impact the following elements of the statement of comprehensive income as 
a result of misstatements in prior year balances: 

•  Revaluation gain ZWL 377 156 500 (2020:  290 977 498) 
•  Other Income ZWL   932 865 157 (2020:  414 067 704) 
•  Tax expense ZWL (894 399 755) (2020: ZWL  231 218 282) 

Matter 4: Application of IAS29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies 

Furthermore, notwithstanding that IAS 29 has been applied correctly, it is noted that its application 
was based on prior and current periods’ financial information which was not in compliance with IAS 
21 / IAS 8 as described above. Had the correct base numbers been used, the same elements as stated 
on  matter  1,  2  and  3 would  have  been  materially  different  except  for  Loans, advances  and  other 
assets, Investment property and Property, plant and equipment. 

Consequently, Monetary loss of ZWL 436 377 804 (2020: ZWL45 434 726) would be impacted as a 
result of misstatements above. 

Our opinion in the prior year was also modified for this mater.  

The effects of the above departures from IFRS are material but not pervasive to the inflation adjusted 
financial statements. 

We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  International  Standards  on  Auditing  (ISAs).  Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the 
Audit  of  the  Inflation  adjusted  financial  statements  section  of  our  report.  of  the  Bank  in  We  are 
independent  of  the  Group  in  accordance  with  the  International  Code  of  Ethics  for  Professional 
Accountants  (including  International  Independence  Standards)  (IESBA  Code)  together  with  the 
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Zimbabwe, and we 
have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and IESBA Code. We 
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our qualified opinion. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in 
our audit of the financial statements of the current period. In addition to the matter(s) described in 
the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have determined the matters described below to be the 
key audit matters to be communicated in our report. These matters were addressed in the context of 
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not 
provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit 
addressed the matter is provided in that context. 

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 
financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our 
audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of 
material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the 
procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the 
accompanying financial statements.

Key Audit Matter 
                                           Issue 1: Impairment of loans and advances  
45% of the Group’s total assets comprises of loans and 
advances which are disclosed on note 20 to the financial 
statements.  The  loans  are  significant  to  the  Group  in 
value  and  comprise  of  a  large  volume  of  balances  of 
varying magnitude. A significant amount of audit effort 
is  therefore  required  to  independently  verify  the 
existence of the loans. 

In  evaluating  the  adequacy  of  impairment  of 
loans and advances we performed the following 
procedures:  
•  Tested  internal  controls  over  the  credit 
granting  and  monitoring  and  assessed 
whether these were in accordance with laid 
down Group policies and procedures.  

The  Group  is  exposed  to  credit  risk  on  its  portfolio.  
Significant  judgement  is  exercised  by  Management  in 
assessing  the  impairment  of  advances  as  disclosed on 
note 20.3 to the financial statements. Due to the size of 
the  Group’s  loan  book  and  the  significant  degree  of 
estimate  in  determining  the  impairment  of  loans  and 
advances,  the  issue  was  considered  to  be  a  key  audit 
matter.

                                           Issue 2 : Suspense accounts with long outstanding reconciling items 
The Bank has experienced significant increase in 
volumes of transactions processed in its accounting 
systems arising from the extensive use of its digital 
platforms like mobile banking, POS and Zimswitch. 
Accordingly, due to the increase in transactions, there 
have been some delays in reconciling all accounts 
including the bank’s suspense accounts.  

In validating the suspense accounts, we 
performed the following procedures: 

•  We  updated  our  understanding  of  how  the 
bank’s  suspense  accounts  operate.  We 
obtained an understanding of the system of 
internal  control  with  regards  to  the  review 
and  approval  thereof  and  evaluate  the

Independent Auditor’s report (continued) 

NMBZ Holdings Limited 

In connection with our audit of the inflation adjusted financial statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with 
the inflation adjusted financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears 
to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material 
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. As described in the Basis for 
Qualified Opinion section above, the  Group did not comply with the requirements of IAS 21  – Effects of 
Changes  in  Foreign  Exchange  Rates,  IAS  8  Accounting  Policies,  Changes  in  Accounting  Estimates  and 
Errors and we disagree with the inputs used in the valuation of properties as well as the application of IAS 
29 - Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies on incorrect base numbers. We have concluded 
that the other information is materially misstated for the same reasons.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Inflation adjusted Financial Statements 

The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the inflation adjusted  financial 
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the 
Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31) and the Banking Act (Chapter24;20), and for 
such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of inflation adjusted  
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

In  preparing  the inflation adjusted  financial  statements,  the  directors  are  responsible  for  assessing  the 
Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern 
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Bank or 
to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.  

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Inflation adjusted Financial Statements 

Our  objectives  are  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  inflation  adjusted  financial 
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue 
an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not 
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement 
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or 
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken 
based on these inflation adjusted financial statements.  

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional 
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:  

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the inflation adjusted  financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is enough and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of 
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, 
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of 
internal control.  

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures 
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control.  

•  Evaluate  the  appropriateness  of  accounting  policies  used  and  the  reasonableness  of  accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.  

                                                                        6

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and 
based  on  the  audit  evidence  obtained,  whether  a  material  uncertainty  exists  related  to  events  or 
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we 
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report 
to  the  related  disclosures  in  the  inflation  adjusted  financial  statements  or,  if  such  disclosures  are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease 
to continue as a going concern.  

•  Evaluate  the  overall  presentation,  structure  and  content  of  the  inflation  adjusted  financial 
statements,  including  the  disclosures,  and  whether  the  inflation  adjusted  financial  statements 
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or 
business  activities  within  the  Group  to  express  an  opinion  on  the  consolidated  inflation  adjusted 
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group 
audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the 
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify 
during our audit.  

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding  independence,  and  to  communicate  with  them  all  relationships  and  other  matters  that  may 
reasonably  be  thought  to  bear  on  our  independence,  and  where  applicable,  actions  taken  to  eliminate 
threats or safeguards applied. 

From  the  matters  communicated  with  the  directors,  we  determine  those  matters  that  were  of  most 
significance  in  the  audit  of  the  inflation  adjusted  financial  statements  of  the  current  period  and  are 
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation 
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that 
a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would

SUMMARY SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements including comparatives, have been prepared under the inflation adjusted accounting 
basis to account for changes in the general purchasing power of the ZWL. The restatement is based on the Consumer 
Price Index at the statement of financial position date. The indices are derived from the monthly inflation rates which are 
issued  by  the  Zimbabwe  National  Statistics Agency  (ZIMSTAT). The  indices  used  are  shown  below. These  condensed 
consolidated financial statements are reported in Zimbabwean dollars and rounded to the nearest dollar.

The indices have been applied to the historical costs of transactions and balances as follows:

• All comparative figures as of and for the periods ended 31 December 2018, 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020 and 
31 December 2021 have been restated by applying the change in the index to 31 December 2021;
• Income statement transactions have been restated by applying the change in the index from the approximate date of the 
transactions to 31 December 2021;
• Gains and losses arising from the monetary assets or liability positions have been included in the income statement;
• Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been restated by applying the change in the index from the date of the transaction 
to 31 December 2021;
• Property and equipment and accumulated depreciation have been restated by applying the change in the index from the 
date of their purchase or re-assessment to 31 December 2021;
•  Equity has been restated by applying the change in index from the date of issue to 31 December 2021;

The net impact of applying the procedures above is shown in the statement of comprehensive income as the gain or loss 
on net monetary position.

IAS 29 discourages the publication of historical results as a supplement to the inflation adjusted results. However, historical 
results have been published as additional information for the users of the Group’s financial statements. The Auditors have 
not expressed an opinion on the historical results.

Functional and presentation currency

For the purposes of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of the Group are expressed in 
Zimbabwe dollars which is the functional currency of the Group, and the presentation currency for the consolidated financial 
statements.

Comparative financial information

The Group financial statements comprise the consolidated and separate statements of financial position, comprehensive 
income, changes in equity and cash flows. The comparative information covers a period of twelve months.

2.2 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION

The  consolidated  and  separate  financial  statements  comprise  of  the  financial  statements  of  the  Group  and  company. 
All  companies  in  the  Group  have  a  December  year  end.  Inter-group  transactions,  balances,  income  and  expenses  are 
eliminated on consolidation.

2.2.1 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Business  combinations  are  accounted  for  using  the  acquisition  method  as  at  the  acquisition  date  –  i.e.  when  control  is 
transferred to the Group. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the 
identifiable net assets acquired.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those investees controlled by the Group. The Group controls an investee if it is exposed to, or has rights 
to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over 
the  subsidiary.  The  financial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  included  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  using  the 
acquisition method, from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases.

In the holding company’s separate financial statements, investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost.

Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss 
immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if they are related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

Any contingent consideration payable is measured at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is 
classified as equity, then it is not re-measured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes 
in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related 
non-controlling interests (NCI) and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any 
interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation 

Intra-group  balances  and  transactions,  and  any  unrealised  income  and  expenses  arising  from  intra-group  transactions, 
are  eliminated  in  preparing  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Unrealised  losses  are  eliminated  in  the  same  way  as 
unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

2.3 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Zimbabwe Dollars (ZWL), which is the respective functional currency 
of Group entities at the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions.

Monetary  assets and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  at the reporting  date  are  translated  into  the functional 
currency  at  the  spot  exchange  rate  at  that  date.  The  foreign  currency  gain  or  loss  on  monetary  items  is  the  difference 
between  the  amortised  cost  in  the  functional  currency  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  adjusted  for  effective  interest  and 
payments during the year, and the amortised cost in the foreign currency translated at the spot exchange rate at the end 
of the year.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional 
currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured 
based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation are generally recognised in profit or loss.

2.4 

TAXATION

Income tax

Income tax expenses comprise current, capital gains and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to 
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax

Current tax comprises expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment 
to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years.  It is measured using rates enacted or substantively enacted 
at the reporting date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income and any adjustment to tax 

31

tribe_28tribe_28NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

payable in respect of previous years. Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the 
amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities.

2.4 

TAXATION (Continued)

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for 
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for: 

• 

• 

• 

temporary  differences  on  the  initial  recognition  of  assets  or  liabilities  in  a  transaction  that  is  not  a  business 
combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; 
temporary  differences  related  to  investments  in  subsidiaries  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  they  will  not 
reverse in the foreseeable future; and 
taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are 
reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will 
be realised.  Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they 
reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. 
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at 
the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount 
of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted 
this presumption. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and 
they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to 
settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously. 

Additional taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends by the Bank are recognised at the same time as the liability to 
pay the related dividend is recognised. These amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss because they generally 
relate to income arising from transactions that were originally recognised in profit or loss.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Measurement Methods

Amortised cost and effective interest rates

The amortised cost is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition minus 
the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference 
between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, an adjustment for any loss allowance.

The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected 
life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset (i.e. its amortised cost before 
any impairment allowance) or to the amortised cost of a financial liability. The calculation does not consider expected credit 
losses and includes transaction costs, premiums or discounts and fees and points paid or received that are integral to the 
effective  interest  rate,  such  as  origination  fees.  For  purchased  or  originated  credit-impaired  (‘POCI’)  financial  assets  – 
assets that are credit-impaired at initial recognition - the Bank calculates the credit-adjusted effective interest rate, which 
is calculated based on the amortised cost of the financial asset instead of its gross carrying amount and incorporates the 
impact of expected credit losses in estimated future cash flows.

When  the  Bank  revises  the  estimates  of  future  cash  flows,  the  carrying  amount  of  the  respective  financial  assets  or 
financial liability is adjusted to reflect the new estimate discounted using the original effective interest rate. Any changes are 
recognised in profit or loss.

Interest Income

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except 
for:

a) 

b) 

Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, for which the original credit-adjusted   
effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the financial asset.

Financial assets that are not ‘POCI’ but have subsequently become credit-impaired (or ‘stage 3’), for    
which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to their amortised cost (i.e net 
of the expected credit loss provision)

2.5 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) 

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instrument. Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Bank 
commits to purchase or sell the asset.

At  initial  recognition,  the  Bank  measures  a  financial  asset  or  financial  liability  at  its  fair  value  plus  or  minus,  in  the  case 
of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss; transaction costs that are incremental and 
directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability respectively, such as fees and 
commissions.  Transaction  costs  of  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  carried  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are 
expensed in profit or loss. Immediately after initial recognition, an expected credit loss allowance (ECL) is recognised for 
financial assets measured at amortised cost and investments in debt instruments measured at FVOCI, which results in an 
accounting loss being recognised in profit or loss when an asset is newly originated.

When  the  fair  value  of  financial  assets  and  liabilities  differs  from  the  transaction  price  on  initial  recognition,  the  entity 
recognises the difference as follows:

a).  When the fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability (i.e. a 
Level 1 input) or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from observable markets, the difference is 
recognised as a gain or loss.

b). 

In all other cases, the difference is deferred and the timing of recognition of deferred day one profit or loss is 
determined individually. It is either amortised over the life of the instrument, deferred until the instrument’s fair 
value can be determined using market observable inputs, or realised through settlement.

          Financial Assets

(i)  

Classification and subsequent measurement

From 1 January 2018, the Group has applied IFRS 9 and classifies its financial assets in the following measurement 
categories:
• 
• 
• 

Fair value through profit or loss (FVPL);
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); or
Amortised cost.

The classification requirements for debt and equity instruments are described below:

Debt Instruments

Debt instruments are those instruments that meet the definition of a financial liability from the issuer’s perspective, such as 
loans, government and corporate bonds and trade receivables purchased from clients in factoring arrangements without 
recourse.

Classification and subsequent measurement of debt instruments depend on:

• 
• 

the Bank’s business model for managing the asset; and
the cash flow characteristics of the asset.

Based on these factors, the Bank classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:

•

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent 
solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest  (‘SPPI’),  and  that  are  not  designated  at  FVPL,  are  measured  at 
amortised  cost.  The  carrying  amount  of  these  assets  is  adjusted  by  any  expected  credit  loss  allowance. 
Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  interest  and  similar  income  using  the  effective 
interest rate method.
Fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  (FVOCI):  Financial  assets  that  are  held  for  collection  of 
contractual  cash  flows  and  for  selling  the  assets,  where  the  assets’  cash  flows  represent  solely  payments 
of  principle  and  interest  and  that  are  not  designated  at  FVPL,  are  measured  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the 
recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses on the 
instrument’s amortised cost which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, 
the  cumulative  gain  or  loss  previously  recognised  in  OCI  is  reclassified  from  equity  to  profit  or  loss  and 
recognised  in  “Net  Investment  Income’.  Interest  income  from  these  financial  assets  is  included  in  ‘Interest 
Income’ using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured 
at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair 
value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss and

presented in the profit or loss statement within ‘Net Trading Income” in the period in which it arises, unless it arises from debt 
instruments that were designated at fair value or which are not held for trading, in which case they are presented separately 
in ‘Net Investment Income’. Interest income from these financial assets is included in “Interest income” using the effective 
interest rate method.

Business model: the business model reflects how the Bank manages the assets in order to generate cash flows. That is, 
whether the Bank’s objective is solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets or is to collect both the contractual 
cash flows and cash flows arising from the sale of assets. If neither of these is applicable (e.g. financial assets are held for 
trading purposes), then the financial assets are classified as part of ‘other’ business model and measured at FVPL. Factors 
considered by the Bank in determining the business model for a group of assets include past experience on how the cash 
flows for these assets were collected, how the asset’s performance is evaluated and reported to key management personnel, 
how risks are assessed and managed and how managers are compensated. Securities held for trading are held principally 
for the purpose of selling in the near term or are part of a portfolio of financial instruments that are managed together and 
for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. These securities are classified in the ‘other’ 
business model and measured at FVPL. 

Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to collect contractual cash flows and sell, 
the Bank assesses whether financial instruments’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (the “SPPI” 
test). In making this assessment, the Bank considers whether the contractual cash flows are consistent with a basic lending 
arrangement i.e. interest includes only consideration for the time value of money, credit risk, other basic lending risks and a 
profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Where the contractual terms introduce exposure to risk or 
volatility that are inconsistent with a basic lending arrangement, the related financial asset is classified and measured at fair 
value through profit or loss.

The Bank reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. The 
reclassification takes place from the start of the first reporting period following the change. Such changes are expected to be 
very infrequent and none occurred during the period.

Equity Instruments

Equity instruments are instruments that meet the definition of equity from the issuer’s perspective; that is, instruments that do 
not contain a contractual obligation to pay and that evidence a residual interest in the issuer’s net assets. Examples of equity 
instruments include basic ordinary shares.

The  Bank  subsequently  measures  all  equity  investments  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss,  except  where  the  Bank’s 
management  has  elected,  at  initial  recognition,  to  irrevocably  designate  an  equity  investment  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income. The Bank policy is to designate equity investments as FVOCI when those investments are held for 
purposes other than to generate investment returns. When this election is used, fair value gains and losses are recognised 
in  OCI  and  are  not  subsequently  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss,  including  on  disposal.  Impairment  losses  (and  reversal  of 
impairment losses) are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. Dividends, when representing a return on 
such investments, continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Bank’s right to receive payments is 
established.

Gains and losses on equity investments at FVPL are included in the ‘Other Income’ line in the statement of profit or loss.

(ii) 

Impairment

The Bank recognises loss allowances for Expected Credit Losses (ECLs) on the following financial instruments that are not 
measured at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (FVTPL):

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

 loans and advances to banks;
 loans and advances to customers;
 debt investment securities;
 lease receivables;
 loan commitments issued; and
 financial guarantee contracts issued.

No impairment loss is recognised on equity investments.
With the exception of POCI financial assets (which are considered separately below), ECLs are measured through a loss 
allowance at an amount equal to:

• 

12-month  ECL,  i.e.  lifetime  ECL  that  result  from  those  default  events  on  the  financial  instrument    that  are 
possible within 12 months after the reporting date, (referred to as Stage 1); or

34

NMBNMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021  
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

• 

Full  lifetime  ECL,  i.e.  lifetime  ECL  that  result  from  all  possible  default  events  over  the  life  of  the  financial 
instrument, (referred to as Stage 2 and Stage 3).

A loss allowance for full lifetime ECL is required for a financial instrument if the credit risk on that financial instrument has 
increased significantly since initial recognition. For all other financial instruments, ECLs are measured at an amount equal 
to the 12-month ECL. 

2.5 

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Expected Credit Losses 

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of the present value of credit losses. These are measured as the present value of 
the difference between the cash flows due to the Bank under the contract and the cash flows that the Bank expects to receive 
arising from the weighting of multiple future economic scenarios, discounted at the asset’s Effective Interest Rate (EIR). 

For undrawn loan commitments, the ECL is the difference between the present value of the difference between the contractual 
cash flows that are due to the Bank if the holder of the commitment draws down the loan and the cash flows that the Bank 
expects to receive if the loan is drawn down; and

For financial guarantee contracts, the ECL is the difference between the expected payments to reimburse the holder of the 
guaranteed debt instrument less any amounts that the Bank expects to receive from the holder, the debtor or any other party.

The Bank measures ECL on an individual basis, or on a collective basis for portfolios of loans that share similar economic 
risk characteristics. The measurement of the loss allowance is based on the present value of the asset’s expected cash flows 
using the asset’s original EIR, regardless of whether it is measured on an individual basis or a collective basis. 

Credit-Impaired Financial Assets  

A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash 
flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data about 
the following events:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
a). 
b).  a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
c). 

the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, 
having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
the purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount that reflects the incurred credit losses.

d). 
e). 
f). 

It may not be possible to identify a single discrete event—instead, the combined effect of several events may have caused 
financial assets to become credit-impaired.

Purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets 

For POCI the Bank only recognises the cumulative changes in lifetime expected credit losses since initial recognition. At 
each reporting date, the Bank recognises in profit or loss the amount of the change in lifetime expected credit losses as 
an impairment gain or loss. The Bank recognises favourable changes in lifetime expected credit losses as an impairment 
gain, even if the lifetime expected credit losses are less than the amount of expected credit losses that were included in the 
estimated cash flows on initial recognition.

The Bank assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (‘ECL’) associated with its debt instrument assets 
carried at amortised cost and FVOCI and with the exposure arising from loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts. 
The Bank recognises a loss allowance for such losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects:

• 
• 
• 

An unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
The time value of money; and
Reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about 
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

For  loan  commitments  and  financial  guarantee  contracts,  the  loss  allowance  is  recognised  in  other  liabilities.  The  Bank 
keeps  track  of  the  changes  in  the  loss  allowance  for  financial  assets  separately  from  those  for  loan  commitments  and 
financial guarantee contracts. However, if a financial instrument includes both a loan (i.e. financial asset) and an undrawn 
commitment  (i.e.  loan  commitment)  component  and  the  Bank  does  not  separately  identify  the  expected  credit  losses  on 
the  loan  commitment  component  from  those  on  the  financial  asset  component,  the  expected  credit  losses  on  the  loan 
commitment is recognised together with the loss allowance for the financial asset. To the extent that the combined expected 
credit  losses  exceed  the  gross  carrying  amount  of  the  financial  asset,  the  expected  credit  losses  is  recognised  in  other 
liabilities

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Definition Of Default

Critical to the determination of ECL is the definition of default. The definition of default is used in measuring the amount 
of ECL and in the determination of whether the loss allowance is based on 12-month or lifetime ECL, as default is a 
component  of  the  probability  of  default  (PD)  which  affects  both  the  measurement  of  ECLs  and  the  identification  of  a 
significant increase in credit risk.

The Bank considers the following as constituting an event of default:

• 
• 

The borrower is past due more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the Bank or;
The borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Bank in full.

The definition of default is appropriately tailored to reflect different characteristics of different types of assets. Overdrafts 
are considered as being past due once the customer has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller 
than the current amount outstanding.

When assessing if the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligation, the Bank takes into account both qualitative and 
quantitative indicators. The information assessed depends on the type of the asset, for example in corporate lending a 
qualitative indicator used is the breach of covenants, which is not relevant for retail lending. Quantitative indicators, such 
as overdue status and non-payment on another obligation of the same counterparty are key inputs in this analysis. The 
Bank uses a variety of sources of information to assess default which are either developed internally or obtained from 
external sources.

Significant Increase In Credit Risk

The Bank monitors all financial assets, undrawn loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to 
the impairment requirements to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. 
If there has been a significant increase in credit risk the Bank will measure the loss allowance based on lifetime rather 
than 12-month ECL. The Bank’s accounting policy is not to use the practical expedient that financial assets with ‘low’ 
credit risk at the reporting date are deemed not to have had a significant increase in credit risk. As a result the Bank 
monitors all financial assets, undrawn loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts that are subject to impairment 
for significant increase in credit risk.

In  assessing  whether  the  credit  risk  on  a  financial  instrument  has  increased  significantly  since  initial  recognition,  the 
Bank compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument at the reporting date based on the remaining 
maturity of the instrument with the risk of a default occurring that was anticipated for the remaining maturity at the current 
reporting date when the financial instrument was first recognised. In making this assessment, the Bank considers both 
quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-
looking information that is available without undue cost or effort, based on the Bank’s historical experience and expert 
credit assessment including forward-looking information. 

Multiple economic scenarios form the basis of determining the probability of default at initial recognition and at subsequent 
reporting dates. Different economic scenarios will lead to a different probability of default. It is the weighting of these 
different scenarios that forms the basis of a weighted average probability of default that is used to determine whether 
credit risk has significantly increased.

For corporate lending, forward-looking information includes the future prospects of the industries in which the Bank’s 
lenders  operate,  obtained  from  economic  expert  reports,  financial  analysts,  governmental  bodies  and  other  similar 
organisations, as well as consideration of various internal and external sources of actual and forecast economic information. 
For the retail portfolio, forward looking information includes the same economic forecasts as the corporate portfolio with 
additional forecasts of local economic indicators, particularly for regions with a concentration to certain industries, as well 
as internally generated information of customer payment behaviour. The Bank allocates its counterparties to a relevant 
internal credit risk grade depending on their credit quality. The quantitative information is a primary indicator of significant 
increase in credit risk and is based on the change in lifetime PD by comparing:

• 
• 

the remaining lifetime PD at the reporting date; with
the remaining lifetime PD for this point in time that was estimated based on facts and circumstances at the 
time of initial recognition of the exposure.

The  PDs  used  are  forward  looking  and  the  Bank  uses  the  same  methodologies  and  data  used  to  measure  the  loss 
allowance for ECL.

The qualitative factors that indicate significant increase in credit risk are reflected in PD models on a timely basis. However, 
the Bank still considers separately additional qualitative factors to assess if credit risk has increased significantly. For 
corporate lending there is particular focus on assets that are included on the Bank’s ‘watch list’ and for the retail portfolio 
the Bank considers the expectation of forbearance and payment holidays, credit scores and any other changes in the 
borrower’s circumstances which are likely to adversely affect one’s ability to meet contractual obligations.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Significant Increase In Credit Risk (continued)

Given that a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition is a relative measure, a given change, in absolute terms, 
in the PD will be more significant for a financial instrument with a lower initial PD than compared to a financial instrument 
with a higher PD.

The Bank assumes that when an asset becomes 30 days past due, the Bank considers that a significant increase in credit 
risk has occurred and the asset is in stage 2 of the impairment model, i.e. the loss allowance is measured as the lifetime ECL.

(iii) 

Modification Of Loans

The  Bank  sometimes  renegotiates  or  otherwise  modifies  the  contractual  cash  flows  of  loans  to  customers.  When  this 
happens, the Bank assesses whether or not the new terms are substantially different to the original terms. The Bank does 
this by considering, among others, the following factors:

• 

If the borrower is in financial difficulty, whether the modification merely reduces the   contractual cash flows to 
amounts the borrower is expected to be able to pay.

•  Whether any substantial new terms are introduced, such as a profit share/equity-based return that substantially 

• 

• 
• 

affects the risk profile of the loan.
Significant extension of the loan term when the borrower is not in financial difficulty. Significant change in the 
interest rate.
Change in the currency the loan is denominated in.
Insertion of collateral, other security or credit enhancements that significantly affect the credit risk associated 
with the loan.

If the terms are substantially different, the Bank derecognises the original financial asset and recognises a ‘new’ asset at 
fair value and recalculates the new effective interest rate for the asset. The date of renegotiation is consequently considered 
to be the date of initial recognition for impairment calculation purposes, including for the purpose of determining whether a 
significant increase in credit risk has occurred. However, the Bank also assesses whether the new financial asset recognised 
is deemed to be credit-impaired at initial recognition, especially in circumstances where the renegotiation was driven by the 
debtor being unable to make the originally agreed payments. Differences in the carrying amount are also recognised in profit 
or loss as a gain or loss on derecognition.

If the terms are not substantially different, the renegotiation or modification does not result in derecognition, and the Bank 
recalculates the gross carrying amount based on the revised cash flows of the financial asset and recognises a modification 
gain or loss in profit or loss. The new gross carrying amount is recalculated by discounting the modified cash flows at the 
original effective interest rate (or credit-adjusted effective interest rate for purchased or originated credit-impaired financial 
assets). 

 (iv) 

Derecognition Other Than On A Modification

Financial assets, or a portion thereof, are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the assets 
have expired, or when they have been transferred and either

• 
• 

the Bank transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, or
the Bank neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and the Bank has 
not retained control.

The Bank enters into transactions where it retains the contractual rights to receive cash flows to other entities and transfers 
substantially  all  of  the  risks  and  rewards. These  transactions  are  accounted  for  as  ‘pass  through’  transfers  that  result  in 
derecognition if the Bank:

(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 

Has no obligation to make payments unless it collects equivalent amounts from the assets;
Is prohibited from selling or pledging the assets; and
Has an obligation to remit any cash it collects from the assets without material delay.

Collateral  (shares  and  bonds)  furnished  by  the  Bank  under  standard  repurchase  agreements  and  securities  lending  and 
borrowing transactions are not derecognised because the Bank retains substantially all the risks and rewards on the basis 
of the predetermined repurchase price, and the criteria for derecognition are therefore not met. This also applies to certain 
securitisation transactions in which the Bank retains a subordinated residual interest.

Financial Liabilities

Classification and Subsequent Measurement

In both the current and prior period, financial liabilities are classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except 
for:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: this classification is applied to financial liabilities held for trading (e.g. 
short positions in the trading booking) and other financial liabilities designated as such at initial recognition. Gains or losses 
on financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are presented partially in other comprehensive income 
(the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability, 
which is determined as the amount that is not attributable to changes in market conditions that give rise to market risk) and 
partially profit or loss (the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability). This is unless such a presentation 
would create, or enlarge, an accounting mismatch, in which case the gains and losses attributable to changes in the credit 
risk of the liability are also presented in profit or loss;

Financial liabilities arising from the transfer of financial assets which did not qualify for derecognition, whereby a financial 
liability  is  recognised  for  the  consideration  received  for  the  transfer.  In  subsequent  periods,  the  Bank  recognises  any 
expense incurred on the financial liability.

Derecognition

Financial  liabilities  are  derecognised  when  they  are  extinguished  (i.e.  when  the  obligation  specified  in  the  contract  is 
discharged, cancelled or expires).

The exchange between the Bank and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as 
substantial modifications of the terms of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original 
financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present 
value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the 
original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the 
original financial liability. In addition, other qualitative factors, such as the currency that the instrument is denominated in, 
changes in the type of interest rate, new conversion features attached to the instrument and change in covenants are also 
taken into consideration. If an exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, 
any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification 
is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are 
amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.

Financial Guarantee Contracts and Loan Commitments

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder 
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due, in accordance with the terms of a debt 
instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to banks, financial institutions and others on behalf of customers to secure 
loans, overdrafts and other banking facilities.

Financial guarantee contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at the   higher of:

• 
• 

The amount of the loss allowance; and
The premium received on initial recognition less income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15.

Loan commitments provided by the Bank are measured as the amount of the loss allowance.  The Bank has not provided 
any commitment to provide loans at below-market interest rate, or that can be settled net in cash or by delivering or issuing 
another financial instrument.

For loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts, the loss allowance is recognised in other liabilities.  However, 
for contracts that include both a loan and an undrawn commitment and the Bank cannot separately identify the expected 
credit losses on the undrawn commitment component from those on the loan component, the expected credit losses on 
the undrawn commitment are recognised together with the loss allowance for the loan.  To the extent that the combined 
expected credit losses exceed the gross carrying amount of the loan, the expected credit losses are recognised in other 
liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the 
actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Bank’s accounting policies.

Note 2.20 provides an overview of the areas that involve a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and major sources of 
estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year.  Detailed 
information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in the related notes together with information about 
the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

Measurement of the Expected Credit Loss Allowance

The measurement of the expected credit loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVOCI is an 
area  that  requires  the  use  of  complex  models  and  significant  assumptions  about  future  economic  conditions  and  credit 
behaviour (e.g. the likelihood of customers defaulting and the resulting losses). A number of significant judgements are also 
required in applying the accounting requirements for measuring ECL, such as:

• 
• 
• 

• 

Determining criteria for significant increase in credit risk;
Choosing appropriate models and assumptions for the measurement of ECL;
Establishing the number and relative weightings of forward-looking scenarios for each type of   product/market 
and the associated ECL; and 
Establishing groups of similar financial assets for the purposes of measuring ECL.

The Bank evaluates ECLs for 7 portfolios of audited corporates with overdraft limits, audited corporates without overdraft 
limits,  unaudited  corporates  with  overdraft  limits,  unaudited  corporates  without  overdraft  limits,  SMEs  with  limits,  SMEs 
without limits and Retail loans. 

The guiding principle of the Expected Credit Loss evaluation is to reflect the general pattern of deterioration or improvement 
in the credit quality of financial instruments and allocate commensurate loss provisions. Under the general approach, there 
are two measurement bases:

• 

• 

12-month ECLs (Stage 1 ECLs) that is evaluated for all financial instruments with no significant deterioration in 
credit quality since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECLs (Stages 2 and 3 ECLs) that is evaluated for financial instruments for which  significant increase 
in credit risk or default has occurred on an individual or collective basis.

Probability of Default (PD)

The Bank defines Probability of Default as the likelihood that a borrower will fail to meet their contractual obligations in the 
future. The Bank’s PD models have been built using historical credit default experience, present credit information as well as 
forward looking factors which affect the capacity of borrowers to meet their contractual obligations. The Bank used the logistic 
regression approach to construct PD models for Corporate, SME, Retail and Treasury Bills portfolios while the Merton model 
was adopted for Interbank Placements. The PD models are used at entity level to evaluate 12 - month PDs for Day 1 losses 
and for financial instruments with no significant deterioration in credit risk since initial recognition, whilst lifetime PD is used 
for financial instruments for which significant increase in credit risk or default has occurred. 12 - month PDs are derived using 
borrower present risk characteristics while lifetime PDs are derived using a combination of 12 - month PDs, present borrower 
behaviour and forward looking macroeconomic factors.

Exposure at Default (EAD)

The Bank defines Exposure at Default as an estimation of the extent to which the Bank will be exposed to a counterparty in 
the event of a default. The Bank’s EAD models have been built using historical experience of debt instruments that defaulted. 
The Bank used the linear regression approach to construct EAD models for Corporate, SME and Retail portfolios. For TBs 
and Interbank Placements, the Bank took a conservative approach of considering the full outstanding balance as the EAD 
at  any  given  point  in  the  lifetime  of  an  instrument.  The  Bank’s  EAD  models  that  use  Credit  Conversion  Factors  (CCFs) 
are applied on fully drawn down instruments while models that use Loan Equivalents (LEQs) are applied on partly drawn 
instruments. The EAD models are used at entity level to evaluate the proportion of the exposure that will be outstanding at 
the point of default.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

Loss Given Default (LGD)

The Bank defines Loss Given Default as an estimate of the ultimate credit loss in the event of a default. The Bank’s LGD 
models  were  built  using  historical  experience  of  defaulted  debt  instruments  and  observed  recoveries.  The  Bank  used 
the linear regression approach to construct LGD models for Corporate, SME and Retail portfolios. For Treasury Bills and 
Interbank Placements, the Bank took a conservative approach of taking a fixed 100% as the LGD at any given point in the 
lifetime of an instrument. The LGD models are used at portfolio level to evaluate 12 - month LGDs for financial instruments 
with no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and lifetime is applied LGDs for financial instruments for 
which significant increase in credit risk has occurred. 12 - month LGDs were derived as historical loss rates while lifetime 
LGDs were derived using a combination of 12 - month LGDs and forward looking macroeconomic factors such as GDP and 
Inflation.

The Bank’s ECL model combines the output of the PD, EAD and LGD and computes an Expected Credit Loss that takes 
into account the time value of money using the Effective Interest Rates (EIR) and time to maturity of the debt instruments.

The final ECL is a probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating three (3) possible outcomes of Best Case 
ECL, Baseline Case ECL and Worst Case ECL.  The Bank has modelled these three cases in such a 
way  that  the  Best  Case  represents  a  scenario  of  lower  than  market  average  default  rates,  the  Base  Case  represents 
scenarios  of  comparable  market  average  default  rates  and  the  Worst  Case  represents  scenarios  of  higher  than  market 
average default rates.

Forward Looking Information

In its ECL models, NMB Bank relies on a broad range of forward looking information as macroeconomic inputs, such as:

Inflation Rate

This is the inflation of the country of Zimbabwe. The Bank approximates the impact of inflation on the future quality of the 
credit portfolio by measuring the variation between the inflation rate at reporting date and the highest forecasted inflation 
rate for the period 2021-2023. Current inflation data is collected from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and Zimbabwe 
National Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT) websites while inflation forecast data is collected from the World Bank websites.

Unemployment Rates

The  Bank  defines  this  as  the  unemployed  proportion  of  the  country’s  population.  The  Bank  approximates  the  impact  of 
unemployment on the future quality of the credit portfolio by assessing the direction of the rate. Increasing unemployment 
rate tends to indicate economic downsizing in the future while an improving unemployment rate ordinarily indicates economic 
growth.

Market Non-Performing Loans Rate

The Bank assesses the variance between its non-performing loans rate and the market average NPL rate as at reporting 
date. The variance approximates the performance of the Bank against the market with respect to the ability of the Bank to 
underwrite low credit loans. 

Producer Price Index (PPI)

The Bank assesses this as the cost of production for companies. The Bank approximates the impact of PPI on the future 
quality of the credit portfolio by assessing the direction of the index. Increasing PPI tend to indicate economic downsizing in 
the future while decreasing PPI ordinarily promotes economic growth in the future. PPI data is collected from the RBZ and

Renegotiated Loans And Advances

Where possible, the Group seeks to restructure loans rather than to take possession of collateral.  This may involve extending 
the  payment  arrangements  and  the  agreement  of  new  loan  conditions.    Once  the  terms  have  been  re-negotiated,  any 
impairment is measured using the original effective interest rate (EIR) as calculated before the modification of terms and the 
loan is no longer considered past due.  Management continuously renews re-negotiated loans to ensure that all criteria are 
met and that future payments are likely to occur.  The loans continue to be subject to an individual or collective impairment 
assessment, calculated using the loans original EIR.

Collateral valuation

The  Group  seeks  to  use  collateral,  where  possible,  to  mitigate  its  credit  risk  on  financial  assets. The  collateral  comes  in

Collateral valuation (Continued)

various forms such as cash, securities, letters of credit/guarantees, real estate, receivables, inventories, other non-financial 
assets  and  credit  enhancements  such  as  netting  agreements.  The  fair  value  of  collateral  is  generally  assessed,  at  a 
minimum, at inception and based on the Group’s quarterly reporting schedule, however, some collateral, for example, cash 
or securities relating to margining requirements, is valued daily. To the extent possible, the Group uses active market data 
for valuing financial assets, held as collateral. Other financial assets which do not have a readily determinable market value 
are valued using models. Non-financial collateral, such as real estate, is valued based on data provided by third parties such 
as mortgage brokers, housing price indices, audited financial statements, and other independent sources. (See note 39.1.4 
for further analysis of collateral).

Collateral repossessed

The Group’s policy is to determine whether a repossessed asset is best used for its internal operations or should be sold.  
Assets determined to be useful for the internal operations are transferred to their relevant asset category at the lower of 
their repossessed value or the carrying value of the original secured asset. Assets that are determined better to be sold, are 
immediately transferred to assets held for sale at their value at the repossession date in line with the Group’s policy.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position if, and 
only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a 
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting 
agreements, therefore, the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the statement of financial position.

Non-performing loans

Interest on loans and advances is accrued as income until such time as reasonable doubt exists about its recoverability, 
thereafter and until all or part of the loan is written off, interest continues to accrue on customer’s accounts but is not included 
in  income.   The  suspended  interest  is  recognised  as  a  provision  in  the  statement  of  financial  position.  Such  suspended 
interest is deducted from loans and advances in the statement of financial position. This policy meets the requirements of 
the Banking Regulations, Statutory Instrument, 205 of 2000.

2.6 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins on hand, unrestricted balances held with central bank and highly liquid 
financial assets with original maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date that are subject to an insignificant 
risk of changes in their fair value, and are used by the Group in the management of its short term commitments.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost in the statement of financial position.

2.7 

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.  Such cost includes the 
cost of replacing part of the equipment when that cost is incurred, if the recognition criteria are met.  Likewise, when a major 
inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement if the recognition 
criteria are satisfied. The previous remaining carrying amount is derecognized.  All other repair and maintenance costs are 
recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

Land and buildings are measured at revalued amount less accumulated depreciation on buildings and impairment losses 
recognised after the date of the revaluation.  Revaluation of property is performed at the end of each reporting period, by a 
registered professional valuer.  

Any revaluation surplus is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the revaluation reserve included 
in the equity section of the statement of financial position, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the 
same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss. A revaluation 
deficit is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it offsets an existing surplus on the same asset recognised in 
the asset revaluation reserve, the decrease in other comprehensive income reduces the amount accumulated in equity as 
the asset revaluation reserve. Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular asset being sold is transferred 
to retained earnings.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation 
based  on  the  revalued  carrying  amount  of  the  assets  and  depreciation  based  on  the  assets  original  cost.   Additionally, 
accumulated depreciation as at the revaluation date is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the 
net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.  Upon disposal, any revaluation reserve relating to the particular 
asset being sold is transferred to retained earnings.

tribe_28tribe_28NMBZ HOLDINGS LIMITED | ANNUAL REPORT 2021NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

An  item  of  property  and  plant  and  equipment  is  derecognised  upon  disposal  or  when  no  future  economic  benefits  are 
expected  from  its  use  or  disposal.   Any  gain  or  loss  arising  on  derecognition  of  the  asset  (calculated  as  the  difference 
between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the year the asset is 
derecognised.

Residual values and the useful life of assets are reviewed at least at each financial year end.  Where the residual value of 
an asset increases to an amount that is equal to or exceeds its carrying amount, then the depreciation of the asset ceases.  
Depreciation will resume only when the residual value decreases to an amount below the asset’s carrying amount.

Owned assets

The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of attributable 
overheads which are directly attributable to the assets.

Depreciation

Depreciable  amount  is  the  cost  of  an  asset  or  other  amount  substituted  for  cost  less  its  residual  value.    Depreciation  is 
provided to write off the depreciable amount of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives to their estimated 
residual values at the following rates per annum, on a straight-line basis.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. Subsequently the assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and any impairment loss.

Amortisation of Intangible Assets

The depreciable amount of an intangible asset with a finite useful life is allocated on a straight line basis over its useful life.  
The amortisation rate is as follows:

2.9 

LEASES

The determination of whether an arrangement is a lease, or it contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement 
and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or 
assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

As Lessor

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets are classified as 
operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased 
asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.  

As Lessee

In  terms  of  IFRS  16,  the  Group  recognises  lease  liabilities  in  relation  to  leases  which  had  previously  been  classified  as 
‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17, Leases.  These liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining 
lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

The Group has neither enjoyed nor extended any lease payment holidays in its capacity as either lessee or lessor respectively 
due to COVID-19. As such, there are no COVID-19 induced lease modifications applicable during the period under review.

Measurement of Right-Of-Use Assets

The associated right-of-use assets for property leases are measured on a prospective basis.  The right-of-use assets are 
measured  at  the  amount  equal  to  the  lease  liability,  adjusted  by  the  amount  of  any  prepaid  or  accrued  lease  payments 
relating to that lease recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.

2.9 

LEASES (Continued)

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost.  The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease 
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-
line basis.  In circumstances where the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset 
is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.  The Group revalues its land and buildings that are presented within 
property and equipment and it has elected not to do so for the right-of-use buildings held by the Group. 

2.10 

IMPAIRMENT OF NON FINANCIAL ASSETS

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets other than consumables are reviewed at each reporting date to 
determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are 
estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their fair value less cost to sell and value in use. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects 
current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less 
costs to sell, an appropriate valuation model is used. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or 
loss in those expense categories consistent with the functions of the impaired asset, except for property previously revalued 
where the revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other 
comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation. For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made 
at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist, 
or may have decreased. If such an indication exists the bank estimates the assets or CGU’s recoverable amount.

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine 
the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceeds the 
carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset 
in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

2.11 

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Investment  properties  are  measured  initially  at  cost,  including  transaction  costs.  The  carrying  amount  includes  the  cost 
of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met, and 
excludes the costs of day to day servicing of an investment property.  Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties 
are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Rental income from investment properties is 
recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an 
integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of 
investment properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise. Revaluation is done at the end of each year 
by a registered independent professional valuer.

Investment  properties  are  derecognised  when  either  they  have  been  disposed  of  or  when  the  investment  property  is 
permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal.  Any gains or losses on the 
retirement or disposal of an investment property are recognised in profit or loss in the year of retirement or disposal.

Transfers  are  made  to  or  from  investment  property  only  when  there  is  a  change  in  use.    For  a  transfer  from  investment 
property to owner occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in 
use.  If owner occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with 
the policy stated under property and equipment up to the date of change in use.

2.12 

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

In the ordinary course of business, the banking subsidiary give financial guarantees, consisting of letters of credit, guarantees 
and acceptances.  Financial guarantees are initially recognised in the financial statements at fair value, being the premium 
received.  Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group’s liability under each guarantee is measured at the higher of the amount 
initially recognised less, where appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised in profit or loss, and the best estimate of 
expenditure required to settle any financial obligation arising as a result of the guarantee.

2.12 

FINANCIAL GUARANTEES (Continued)

Any increase in the liability  relating to financial  guarantees  is recognised in the profit or loss. The premium received is 
recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the life of the guarantee, or in full, depending on the conditions 
attached to the guarantee.

2.13 

WRITE-OFFS

Financial assets are written off where the recovery efforts have been pursued actively over one year without success or 
when it is uneconomical and inefficient to keep carrying the debt in the books as the chances of recovery become slim.  
Such accounts become subjects of write-backs in the event of recovery.

Partial write-offs may be possible in cases where collateral security held is inadequate to expunge the debt in full.

2.14 

FEES AND COMMISSION INCOME

Fees and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate on a financial asset or financial 
liability are included in the measurement of the EIR. 

Other fees and commission – including retail banking customer fees, corporate banking and credit related fees, fees from 
financial  guarantee  contracts,  commission  from  international  banking  activities  and  fees  from  corporate  finance  –  are 
recognised as the related services are performed. If a loan commitment is not expected to be drawn down of a loan, then 
the related commitment fees are recognised on a straight line basis over the commitment period. 

Other fees and commitment expense relate mainly transaction and service fees, which are expensed as the services are 
received.

The performance obligations, as well as the timing of their satisfaction, are identified, and determined, at the inception of 
the contract. 

2.15 

INTEREST INCOME 

For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost and financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or 
loss, interest income or expense is recorded using the effective interest rate (EIR), which is the rate that exactly discounts 
the estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, 
where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

Interest income includes income arising out of the banking activities of lending and investing.

2.16 

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense arises from deposit taking and borrowings. The expense is recognised in profit or loss as it accrues, taking 
into account the effective interest cost of the liability.

2.17 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Retirement benefits are provided for the Group’s employees through a defined contribution plan and the National Social 
Security Authority Scheme.

Defined Contribution Plan

Obligations for contribution to the defined contribution pension plan are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as they 
are incurred.

National Social Security Authority Scheme

The  cost  of  retirement  benefits  applicable  to  the  National  Social  Security Authority,  which  commenced  operations  on  1 
October 1994 is determined by the systematic recognition of legislated contributions.

2.17 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS  (Continued) 

Short Term Employee Benefits/And Share Based Payments

Short  term  employee  benefits  are  expensed  as  the  related  service  is  provided.  A  liability  is  recognised  for  the  amount 
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service 
provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Share based payments 

The Group issues share options to certain employees in terms of the Employee Share Option Scheme which is an equity 
settled share-based payment scheme.  Share options are measured at fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date.  
The fair value determined at the grant date of the options is expensed over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate 
of  shares  that  will  eventually  vest.  Fair  value  is  measured  using  the  Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model.  The  expected 
life  used  in  the  model  is  adjusted,  based  on  management’s  best  estimate,  for  the  effects  of  non-transferability,  exercise 
restrictions and other behavioural considerations.

2.18 

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, and it 
is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable 
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.  The expense relating to any provision is presented in profit or loss 
net of any reimbursements.

2.19 

SHAREHOLDERS’ FUNDS AND SHAREHOLDERS’ LIABILITIES

Shareholders’ funds and shareholders’ liabilities refers to the  total investment made by the shareholders in the Group and it 
consists of share capital, share premium, share options reserve, functional currency translation reserve, retained earnings, 
redeemable ordinary shares and subordinated loans. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares 
are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for 
in accordance with IAS 12.  

Treasury shares

Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or 
loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Any 
difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognised in the share premium.

2.20 

USE OF ESTIMATES, JUDGEMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

In  preparation  of  the  consolidated  and  separate  financial  statements,  Directors  have  made  judgments,  estimates  and 
assumptions  that  affect  the  application  of  accounting  policies  and  the  reported  amounts  of  assets,  liabilities,  income  and 
expenses.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates  and  underlying  assumptions  are  reviewed  on  an  ongoing  basis.    Revisions  to  estimates  are  recognised 
prospectively.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment 
in the year ending 31 December 2021 is included in the following notes.

Land and buildings

The properties were valued by an independent professional valuer. The determined fair value of land and buildings is most 
sensitive to significant unobservable inputs. The property market is currently not stable due to liquidity constraints.

Investment properties 

Investment properties were valued by an independent professional valuer. The properties market is currently not stable due 
to liquidity constraints.

Impairment losses on loans and advances

The Group reviews its individually significant loans and advances at each reporting date to assess whether an impairment 
loss should be recorded in profit or loss. In particular, judgement by management is required in the estimation of the amount 
and timing of future cash flows when determining the impairment loss. In estimating these cash flows, the Group makes 
judgements about the borrower’s financial situation and the net realisable value of collateral. These estimates are based on 
assumptions about a number of factors and actual results may differ, resulting in future changes to the allowance. Loans 
and advances that have been assessed individually and found not to be impaired and all individually insignificant loans and 
advances are then assessed collectively, in groups of assets with similar risk characteristics, to determine whether provision 
should be made due to incurred loss events for  which there is objective evidence but whose effects are not yet evident.

COVID-19

The Directors fully acknowledge the unprecedented challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In that 
regard, significant judgments have generally been applied in light of the likely impacts of COVID-19 on the Group’s activities.  
The Directors fully acknowledge the challenges and uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, significant 
judgements have generally been applied in light of the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Group’s activities.

Going concern

The Directors have assessed the ability of the Group and Company to continue operating as a going concern and believe 
that the preparation of these financial statements on a going concern basis is still appropriate.  

Determination of the functional currency

The  Government  of  Zimbabwe  adopted  a  multi-currency  regime  in  2009.  The  British  Pound,  Euro,  United  States  Dollar 
(USD),  South African  Rand  (ZAR)  and  Botswana  Pula  were  adopted  as  the  multi-currency  basket  in  February  2009.  In 
January 2014, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued a Monetary Policy Statement which added the Chinese Yuan, 
Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen into the basket of multi-currencies. At the onset, the USD and the ZAR were 
the commonly used currencies, with the USD eventually gaining prominence resulting in it being designated as the functional 
and presentation currency by the transacting public and the Monetary Authorities, including the Group.

Between 2014 and 2016, the Zimbabwean economy experienced a massive liquidity crisis which eventually prompted the 
Monetary Authorities to introduce the bond notes in November 2016 whilst encouraging the public to continue using the other 
currencies in the multi-currency basket. The bond notes were introduced at an official fixed exchange rate of 1:1 with the 
USD and the Monetary Authorities specifically directed financial institutions not to open separate vault and cash accounts 
for  the  USD  and  the  bond  notes. The  introduction  of  the  bond  notes  gave  rise  to  a  three  (3)  tier  pricing  system  wherein 
sellers and service providers would quote three (3) separate prices (USD, bond notes and RTGS/electronic transfers) for 
their merchandise and services respectively. Significant discounts were being offered for USD payments whilst a premium 
would be added for prices quoted in bond notes or electronic settlement via the Real Time Gross Settlement System (RTGS). 
These developments triggered a debate around the functional currency of Zimbabwe. It should be noted that the Group never 
participated in the three tier pricing and none of its products had multiple prices during the same period.

In October 2018, the Monetary Authorities instructed financial institutions to separate bond notes and USD accounts and 
indicated that corporates and individuals could proceed to open Nostro Foreign Currency Accounts (FCA), for foreign currency 
holdings, which were now being exclusively distinguished from the existing RTGS based accounts. However, it should be 
noted that at the time of this policy pronouncement, the Monetary Authorities did not state that they had introduced a new 
currency for Zimbabwe, which actually meant that the USD remained as the currency of reference. By 31 December 2018, 
there had been no pronouncement by the Monetary Authorities to the effect that there had been a new currency introduced, 
which could be considered as the country’s functional currency.

On 22 February 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued an Exchange Control Directive, RU 28 of 2020 which 
established an interbank foreign exchange market to formalise the buying and selling of foreign currency through the Banks 
and  Bureaux  de  change.    In  order  to  establish  an  exchange  rate  between  the  current  monetary  balances  and  foreign 
currency, the Monetary Authorities denominated the existing RTGS balances in circulation as RTGS Dollars. Initial trades 
on 22 February 2020 were at USD1: RTGS$2.5. On the same date, Statutory Instrument 33 of 2020 was also issued and it 
specified that for accounting and other purposes, all assets and liabilities that were in USD immediately before the 22nd of 
February 2020 were deemed to have been valued in RTGS Dollars at a rate of 1:1 with the USD. 

On 24 June 2019, the Monetary Authorities announced that the multi-currency regime, which the country was operating in 
since February 2009 had been discontinued and the country had adopted a mono-currency regime meaning that the sole 
legal tender would be the Zimbabwe Dollar (ZWL). 

On 26 March 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe in a press statement announced various interventions in response to the 
financial vulnerabilities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the measures announced therein was the authorization of 
the use of free-funds in paying for goods and services, in terms of Statutory Instrument (SI) 85 of 2021. On 24 July 2021, the 
Government of Zimbabwe issued Statutory Instrument (SI) 185 of 2021, which granted permission to display, quote or offer 
prices for all goods and services in both Zimbabwe dollars and foreign currency at the interbank exchange rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

On 23 June 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe introduced the Foreign Exchange Auction System, effectively abandoning 
the fixed foreign currency exchange rate regime which had been prevailing for the greater part of 2021. Significant trades 
have been recorded on the platform and significant movements in the exchange rate have been resultantly recorded.

In light of the developments summarised above, the Directors concluded that the Group’s functional currency remains the 
Zimbabwe dollar (ZWL) following its change from US$ with effect from 22 February 2020.  

Lease arrangements

The Directors have exercised significant judgement on determining whether the various contractual relationships which the 
Group is party to, contain lease arrangements which fall into the scope of IFRS 16.  Significant judgement was also exercised 
in determining whether the Group is reasonably certain that it will exercise extension options present in lease contracts as 
well.

The IASB has provided lessees (but not lessors) with 
relief in the form of an optional exemption from assessing 
whether a rent concession related to COVID-19 is a 
lease modification, provided that the concession meets 
certain conditions. Lessees can elect to account for 
qualifying rent concessions in the same way as they 
would if they were not lease modifications. In many 
cases, this will result in accounting for the concession as 
a variable lease payment.

International Financial Reporting Standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not effective

Standard

Effective Date

Executive summary

The IASB issued IFRS 17, ‘Insurance contracts’, and 
thereby started a new epoch of accounting for insurers. 
Whereas the current standard, IFRS 4, allows insurers to 
use their local GAAP, IFRS 17 defines  clear and 
consistent rules that will significantly increase the 
comparability of financial statements. For insurers, the 
transition to IFRS 17 will have an impact on financial 
statements and on key performance indicators. 

Under IFRS 17, the general model requires entities to 
measure an insurance contract at initial recognition at 
the total of the fulfilment cash flows (comprising the 
estimated future cash flows, an adjustment to 
reflect the time value of money and an explicit risk 
adjustment for non-financial risk) and the contractual 
service margin. The fulfilment cash flows are remeasured 
on a current basis each reporting period. The unearned 
profit (contractual service margin) is recognised over 
the coverage period. 

Aside from this general model, the standard provides, 
as a simplification, the premium allocation 
 approach. This simplified approach is applicable for 
certain types of contract, including those with a coverage 
period of one year or less. 

For insurance contracts with direct participation features, 
the variable fee approach applies. The variable fee 
approach is a variation on the general model. When 
applying the variable fee approach, the entity’s share of 
the fair value changes of the underlying items is included 
in the contractual service margin. As a consequence, the 
fair value changes are not recognised in profit or loss in 
the period in which they occur but over the remaining life 
of the contract. 

Given the Bancassurance arm of the Group systems are 
being set up to ensure implementation is successful on 
the effective date.

In response to some of the concerns and challenges 
raised, the Board developed targeted amendments and 
a number of proposed clarifications intended to ease 
implementation of IFRS 17, simplify some requirements 
of the standard and ease transition. The amendments 
relate to eight areas of IFRS 17, and they are not 
intended to change the fundamental principles of the 
standard or unduly disrupt implementation already 
underway.

Amendment to IAS 1 
‘Presentation of Financial 
Statements’ on Classification 
of Liabilities as Current or 
Non-current

Annual periods beginning on or after 1 
January 2022.

The Board has updated IFRS 3, 'Business combinations', 
to refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework for Financial 
Reporting, in order to determine what constitutes an 
asset or a liability in a business combination.

In addition, the Board added a new exception in IFRS 
3 for liabilities and contingent liabilities. The exception 
specifies that, for some types of liabilities and contingent 
liabilities, an entity applying IFRS 3 should instead 
refer to IAS 37, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and 
Contingent Assets’, or IFRIC 21, ‘Levies’, rather than the 
2018 Conceptual Framework.

The Board has also clarified that the acquirer should not 
recognise contingent assets, as defined in IAS 37, at the 
acquisition date.

The amendment to IAS 16 prohibits an entity from 
deducting from the cost of an item of PPE any proceeds 
received from selling items produced while the entity is 
preparing the asset for its intended use (for example, the 
proceeds from selling samples produced when testing a 
machine to see if it is functioning properly). The proceeds 
from selling such items, together with the costs of 
producing them, are recognised in profit or loss. 

The amendment clarifies which costs an entity includes 
in assessing whether a contract will be loss-making. This 
assessment is made by considering unavoidable costs, 
which are the lower of the net cost of exiting the contract 
and the costs to fulfil the contract. The amendment 
clarifies the meaning of ‘costs to fulfil a contract’. 
Under the amendment, costs to fulfil a contract include 
incremental costs and the allocation of other costs that 
relate directly to fulfilling the contract.

These amendments include minor changes to:
- IFRS 1, ‘First time adoption of IFRS’ has been amended 
for a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter after its 
parent. The subsidiary may elect to measure cumulative 
translation differences for foreign operations using 
the amounts reported by the parent at the date of the 
parent’s transition to IFRS.
- IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’ has been amended 
to include only those costs or fees paid between the 
borrower and the lender in the calculation of “the 10% 
test” for derecognition of a financial liability. Fees paid to 
third parties are excluded from this calculation.  
- IFRS 16, ‘Leases’, amendment to the Illustrative 
Example 13 that accompanies IFRS 16 to remove 
the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to 
leasehold improvements. The amendment intends to 
remove any potential confusion about the treatment of 
lease incentives.
- IAS 41, ‘Agriculture’ has been amended to align the 
requirements for measuring fair value with those of IFRS 
13. The amendment removes the requirement for entities 
to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair 
value.

The amendment clarifies that liabilities are classified as 
either current or non-current, depending on the rights 
that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification 
is unaffected by expectations of the entity or events after 
the reporting date (for example, the receipt of a waiver or 
a breach of covenant).

SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into four operating segments based on products and services as follows:

Retail banking 

Corporate banking   

Treasury   

International banking  

Digital Banking 

- 

- 

- 

- 

- 

Individual customers deposits and consumer loans, overdrafts, credit card facilities  
and funds transfer facilities.

Loans and other credit facilities and deposit and current accounts for corporate 
and institutional customers.

Money market investment, securities trading, accepting and discounting of  
instruments and foreign currency trading.

Handles the Group’s foreign currency denominated banking business and  
manages  relationships with correspondent banks.

Handles the Bank’s Digital Banking products including Card and POS services.

Management  monitors  the  operating  results  of  its  business  units  separately  for  the  purpose  of  making  decisions  about 
resource  allocation  and  performance  assessment.    Segment  performance  is  evaluated  based  on  operating  profit  or  loss 
which in certain respects is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.  Income 
taxes are managed on a Group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Interest income is reported net as management primarily relies on net interest revenue as a performance measure, not the 
gross income and expense.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm’s length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

No revenue from transactions with a single external customer or counterparty amounted to 10% or more of the Group’s total 
revenue in 2021 or 2020.

The following table presents income and profit and certain asset and liability information regarding the Group’s operating segments and 
service units:

*Income not subject to tax includes coupon interest from Treasury Bills and income from mortgages for the Group as well as 
    non-deductible income attributable  to the unwinding of share based payments for the company. 
 ** Non-deductible expenses include provisions, disallowable pension deductions and depreciation. 
 ***The change in tax bases arose from the legislative pronouncement in the Finance (No.2 ) Act of 2020 which resulted in  the
      rebasing of unredeemed foreign currency capital balances on assets ranking for capital allowances using the USD/ZWL official 
    exchange rate prevailing on 1 January 2020.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings 
Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of NMBZ Holdings Limited 
adjusted for the after tax effect of:

(a)   any dividends or other items related to dilutive potential ordinary shares deducted in arriving at 
       profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent entity;  
(b)   any interest recognised in the period related to dilutive potential ordinary shares; and 
(c)   any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares;  
       by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted average number of 
     ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

On  30  June  2013,  the  Group  received  USD14  831  145  capital  from  Nederlandse  Financierings-Maatschappij  Voor 
Ontiwikkelingslanden N.V. (FMO), Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries (Norfund) and AfricInvest Financial 
Sector Holdings (AfricInvest) who were allocated 34 571 429 shares each (total 103 714 287) for individually investing USD4 943 
715. This amount, net of share issue expenses, was used to recapitalise the Bank in order to contribute towards the minimum 
capital requirements previously set by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe of ZWL200 million by 31 December 2020. FMO and  
Norfund came together with Rabobank to form ARISE which is a development finance institution primarily focusing on investing 
in African financial institutions to support and enhance financial service delivery in Africa.

NMBZ Holdings Limited (NMBZ) entered into a share buy-back agreement with Norfund, FMO and AfricInvest, where these 
three strategic investors have a right at their own discretion at any time after the 5th anniversary (30 June 2018) but before 
the 9th anniversary (30 June 2022) of its first subscription date, to request NMBZ to buy back all or part of its NMBZ shares at 
a price to be determined using the agreed terms as entailed in the share buy-back agreement. It is a condition precedent that 
at any point when the share buy-back is being considered, the proceeds used to finance the buy-back should come from the 
distributable reserves which are over and above the minimum regulatory capital requirements. Further, no buy-back option can 
be exercised by any investor after the 9th anniversary (30 June 2022) of the effective date.  

The share buy-back agreement created a potential obligation for NMBZ Holdings Limited to purchase its own instruments.  The 
shares issued gave rise to a potential financial liability and are classified as redeemable ordinary shares.

In 2013, the Bank received a subordinated term loan amounting to USD1.4 million from a Development Financial Institution 
which attracts an interest rate of LIBOR plus 10% and has a seven year maturity date (13 June 2021) from the first disbursement 
date.

The above liability would, in the event of the winding up of the issuer, be subordinated to the claims of depositors and all other 
creditors of the issuer. The Group defaulted on a principal repayments with respect to this subordinated loan during the year 
ended 31 December 2020 as a result of the prevailing nostro funding challenges affecting the economy.  There was a breach 
on the Aggregate Unhedged Open Foreign Currency Positions Ratio covenant which stood at 19.05% (instead of a maximum 
10%) between the Group and the Development Financial Institution at the reporting date of 31 December 2021. However, 
there were no defaults on interest payments.  

On 22 February 2020, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) issued an Exchange Control directive, RU 28 of 2020 which 
established an interbank foreign exchange market to formalise the buying and selling of foreign currency through the Banks 
and Bureaux de change.  In order to establish an exchange rate between the current monetary balances and foreign currency, 
the Monetary Authorities denominated the existing RTGS balances in circulation, as RTGS dollars. The RBZ pegged the initial 
trades at US$/RTGS$1:2.5. In order to manage the transition, the RBZ also advised on the same date that all foreign liabilities 
or legacy debts due to suppliers and service providers, declared dividends e.t.c would be treated separately after registering 
such debts with the RBZ Exchange Control Department for an orderly expunging of these debts.

Consequently, the Group registered its legacy debts, which included the subordinated term loan and offshore lines of credit 
and transferred the ZWL equivalent of these debts at a rate of US$/ZWL1:1 to the RBZ in terms of the RBZ directive.  These 
legacy debts and the related amounts transferred to the RBZ in terms of the RBZ directive on the legacy debts, have been 
translated using the interbank rate at reporting date. During the period under review, the RBZ approved the legacy debt in 
respect of the subordinated term loan.

* The carrying amounts of current and deposit accounts and trade and other payables approximate the related fair values due to 
their short term nature. These relate to the Group and Company's operational liabilities to suppliers, employees and regulators. 
Expense provisions and deferred income are also included.
Included in trade and other payables are lease liabilities ranging from 1 to 5 years in respect of leased properties  in which the 
Group is a lessee.
Also included in trade and other liabilities are ECL provisions in respect of guarantees and facilities approved but not drawn    
down.

** Included in deposits from banks and other financial institutions are loan balances of ZWL1 310 287 160 (2020 ZWL707 
186 403), ZWL677 596 574 (2020 ZWL365 711 501) and ZWL898 231 833 (2020 ZWL484 792 463) due to Nederlandse 
Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontiwikkelingslanden (FMO), Swedfund and Afreximbank. The carrying amounts of 
deposits from other banks and other financial institutions approximate the related fair values. All the loan balances except for 
Afreximbank are part of the Group’s Blocked Funds which were registered with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) for an 
orderly expunging of the debts. In 2021, the Government of Zimbabwe assumed the obligation to settle these Blocked Funds 
in terms of Part XIII of the Finance Act No. 7 of 2021 under section 52. The Blocked funds are listed under Annex 1 of the 
Finance Act No. 7 of 2021. In 2019, the Group transferred the ZWL equivalent of the legacy debts at a rate of US$/ZWL1:1 to 
the RBZ as per requirement of the Exchange Control directive RU 28 of 2019. In terms of section 52 of the Finance Act no 7 of 
2021, outstanding blocked funds may be liquidated through the issuance of Government-backed zero coupon or non-interest 
bearing foreign exchange savings bonds or such other debt instruments denominated in foreign currency. The timing of 
issuance of the Government-backed instruments is yet to be advised.

The line of credit balances have been translated at 31 December 2021 at the closing rate of USD/ZWL108.6668.  
Consequently, the amount transferred to the RBZ for the settlement of these debts has been translated at the same closing 
rate as it represents the Bank’s right to the settlement of the related lines of credit. During the period under review, the RBZ 
approved the legacy debt in respect of the FMO and Swedfund lines of credit.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
Fair values of financial instruments

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or dealer 
price quotations. For all other financial instruments, the Group determines fair values using other valuation techniques.  

For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying 
degrees of judgement depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting 
the specific instrument.

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the 
asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 

Valuation models 

The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in 
making the measurements.

• 
• 

• 

Level 1: inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments. 
Level 2:  inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly 
(i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar 
instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation 
techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data. 
Level  3:  inputs  that  are  unobservable.  This  category  includes  all  instruments  for  which  the  valuation  technique  includes 
inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument’s valuation. This 
category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable 
adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments. 

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the 
asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. 

During the reporting periods ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 
fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

17.3 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value
Below is a list of the Group’s financial investments not measured at fair value, but whose carrying amounts approximate fair 
value.

Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents consists of balances with the Central Bank, other banks and cash with original maturities of three 
months or less. These balances are subject to insignificant risk of change in their fair value. It is the Directors’ assessment that 
the carrying amount of these balances approximates their fair value at any given time.

Loans, advances and other assets 

The  estimated  fair  value  of  loans,  advances  and  other  assets  is  estimated  to  approximate  the  carrying  amount  due  to  non-
availability of benchmark interest rates to discount the expected future cash flows thereof. The Directors believe that current 
interest rates are market related and would re-issue the loans at the same interest rate if needed. It is from this assessment that 
Directors believe that the carrying amount of these balances reasonably approximate fair value as discounting the future cash 
flow using the current interest rates would not result in significant differences from the carrying amount. 

Investment securities

These financial assets consist of open market treasury bills and government bonds. There is currently no observable active 
market for these instruments; or a reliable proxy to discount the expected future cash flows. Directors believe that the carrying 
amount approximates fair value on these instruments. In performing this assessment, Directors have determined that interest 
rates are consistent with the latest transactions that the Group entered into and the average tenor of the portfolio was short-term 
in nature.

Trade and other investments

These are equity investments held by the Group in a third part entity. There is currently no observable active market for these 
equities or a reliable proxy to discount the expected future cash flows. In performing this assessment, Directors have determined 
that interest rates are consistent with the latest transactions that the Group entered into. The issuer advises the Group of the 
equities' value and this value is significantly unobservable as the equities are not traded on an active market. The fair value 
would therefore, increase or decrease depending on the movements in the issuer's net carrying assets value.

Deposits and other liabilities

The  estimated  fair  value  of  deposits  with  no  stated  maturity,  which  includes  non-interest  bearing  deposits,  is  the  amount 
repayable on demand. The estimated fair value of fixed interest-bearing deposits approximates the carrying amount as interest 
rates quoted are market related. It is the view of Directors that the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities reasonably 
approximate fair values.

or develop the investment  properties or for repairs, maintenance and enhancements. 

Measurement of fair value

The fair value of the Bank's investment properties as at 31 December 2021 has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried 
out  by  independent  professional  valuers,  PMA  Real  Estate  (Private)  Limited.  The  valuation  which  conforms  to  International 
Valuation Standards, was in terms of the policy as set out in the accounting policies section and was derived with reference to 
market information close to the date of the valuation.

Level 3

The fair value for investment properties of ZWL3 518 133 464 (2020: ZWL2 657 783 640) has been categorised under level 3 in 
the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used for the valuation technique described below.

residential properties.

•  Weighted average expected 

market rental growth (5%);
 Void period (average 3 months 
after the end of each lease);
 Occupancy rate (55%); and
 Average market yield of 10%.

• 

expected market rental growth were higher/ 
(lower);
void periods were shorter/(longer);
the occupancy rates were higher /(lower); and
the risk adjusted discount rates were lower/ 
(higher).

Fair value hierarchy

Immovable properties were revalued as at 31 December 2021 on the basis of valuations carried out by independent 
professional valuers, PMA Real Estate (Private) Limited. The valuation which conforms to International Valuation Standards, 
was in terms of the policy as set out in the accounting policies section. All movable assets are measured at their carrying 
amounts which are arrived at by the application of a depreciation charge on their cost values over the useful lives of the 
assets.

The valuation of land and buildings was arrived by applying yield rates of 10% on rental levels of between ZWL332 – 
ZWL574 per square metre.

Level 3
The fair value of immovable properties of ZWL2 845 703 978 (2020: ZWL2 317 820 761) has been categorised under level 
3 in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used for the valuation technique described below.

The following shows reconciliation between the opening and closing balances for level 3 fair values:

Valuation technique and significant unobservable inputs

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring the fair value of immovable properties, as well as the 
significant unobservable inputs used.

Valuation Technique

Significant Unobservable Inputs

The Direct Comparison 
Method was applied on all 
residential properties

•     Weighted average expected    
      market rental growth (5%); and
•      Average market yield of 10%.

Inter-relationship between key unobservable 
inputs and fair value measurement

The estimated fair value would increase /(de-
crease) if:
   •   Expected market rental growth were higher/    
       (lower); and
   •   The risk adjusted discount rates were 
       lower/ (higher).

The Group enters into various irrevocable commitments and contingent liabilities in its normal course of business in order to 
meet financial needs of customers. These obligations are not recognised on the statement of financial position, but contain 
credit risk and are therefore part of the overall risk of the Group.

Guarantees commit the Group to make payments on behalf of clients in the event of specified acts. Guarantees carry the 
same credit risk as loans and advances to customers.

Facilities approved but not drawn down represent contractual commitments to advance loans and revolving credits. 
These have fixed expiry dates and may expire without being drawn upon, hence total contract amounts do not necessarily 
represent future cash requirements.

Employee Share Option Scheme

In 2012, the Company established a share option programme that entitles Executive Directors and Senior Managers to 
purchase shares in the Company (equity settled). The beneficiary has a right to acquire a certain number of the Company’s 
shares at any time during the Exercise Period at the Exercise Price. In terms of the Employee Share Option Scheme, up 
to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital may be granted by the Directors to senior employees by way of options. 
Each set of options is exercisable at any time within a period of five years from the date the options are granted and the 
issue price is based  on the higher of nominal value of the shares and the middle market price derived from the Zimbabwe 
Stock Exchange prices for the trading day immediately preceding the date of offer. The options vest immediately from date 
of issue and the fair value of the options is estimated at the grant date using the Black –  Scholes option pricing model, 
taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted.        

31.3.1  Measurement Of Fair Value - Share Options

The fair value of services received in return for share options granted is based on the fair value of share options granted, 
measured using the Black-Scholes   formula.  The  service  and  non-market  performance  conditions  attached  to  the 
arrangements were not taken into account in measuring fair value. The inputs   used  in  measuring  the  fair  values  at  grant 
date of the equity-settled share based payment plans were as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for year ended 31 December 2021

33. 

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. 
The Board has established the Board Asset and Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and the Board Risk and Compliance 
Committee, which are responsible for defining the Group’s risk universe, developing policies and monitoring implementation. 
The Board also has the Board Credit Committee (BCC) which is responsible for sanctioning credits and the Board Loans Review 
Committee (LRC), which is responsible for monitoring asset quality and adherence to the credit risk management policy.

Risk management is linked logically from the level of individual transactions to the Group level.  Risk management activities 
broadly take place simultaneously at the following different hierarchy levels:

a. 

b. 

c. 

 Strategic Level:  This involves risk management functions performed by senior management and the board of directors.
It includes the definition of risk, ascertaining the Group’s risk appetite, formulating strategy and policy for managing 
risk  and  establishes  adequate  systems  and  controls  to  ensure  overall  risk  remains  within  acceptable  levels  and  is 
adequately compensated. 
 Macro Level:  It encompasses risk management within a business area or across business lines.  These risk management 
functions are performed by middle management.
 Micro Level:  This  involves  “On-the-line”  risk  management  where  risks  are  actually  created.    These  are  the  risk 
management  activities  performed  by  individuals  who  assume  risk  on  behalf  of  the  organisation  such  as  Treasury 
Front Office, Corporate Banking, Retail banking etc.  The risk management in these areas is confined to operational 
procedures set by management.

Risk management is premised on four (4) mutually reinforcing pillars, namely:

a) 

adequate board and senior management oversight;

b) 

adequate strategy, policies, procedures and limits;

c) 

adequate risk identification, measurement, monitoring and information systems; and

d)  

comprehensive internal controls and independent reviews.

33.1 

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that a financial contract will not be honoured according to the original set of terms. The risk arises when 
borrowers  or  counterparties  to  a  financial  instrument  fail  to  meet  their  contractual  obligations. The  Group’s  general  credit 
strategies centre on sound credit granting process, diligent credit monitoring and strong loan collection and recovery. There 
is a separation between loan collection and recovery. There is a separation between loan granting and credit monitoring to 
ensure independency and effective management of the loan portfolio.  The Board has put in place sanctioning committees 
with  specific  credit  approval  limits.    The  Credit  Management  department  does  the  initial  review  of  all  applications  before 
recommending  them  to  the  Executive  Credit  Committee  and  finally  the  Board  Credit  Committee  depending  on  the  loan 
amount.  The Group has in place a Board Loans Review Committee responsible for reviewing the quality of the loan book and 
adequacy of loan loss provisions.

The  Group  has  an  automated  credit  processes  from  loan  origination,  appraisal,  monitoring  and  collections.    The  system 
has a robust loan monitoring and reporting module which is critical in managing credit risk.  In view of the group’s move into 
the mass market, retail credit has become a key area of focus. The group has put in place robust personal loan monitoring 
systems and structures to mitigate retail loan delinquencies.  This includes a rigorous scheme assessment and a dedicated 
pre-delinquency team and a separate recoveries team.      

Credit Management

•  Responsible for evaluating & approving credit proposals from the business units.
•  Together with business units, has primary responsibility on the quality of the loan book.
•  Reviewing credit policy for approval by the Board Credit Committee.

This is the exposure of the Group’s on and off balance sheet positions to adverse movement in market prices resulting in a loss in 
earnings and capital.  The market prices will range from money market (interest rate risk), foreign exchange and equity markets 
in which the bank operates.  The Group has in place a Management Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO) which monitors 
market risk and recommends the appropriate levels to which the Group should be exposed at any time.  Net Interest Margin is 
the primary measure of interest rate risk, supported by periodic stress tests to assess the Group’s ability to withstand stressed 
market conditions.  On foreign exchange risk, the bank monitors currency mismatches and make adjustments depending on 
exchange rate movement forecast.  The mismatches per currency are contained within 5% of the Group’s capital position.

Management ALCO meets on a monthly basis and operates within the prudential guidelines and policies established by the 
Board ALCO.  The Board ALCO is responsible for setting exposure thresholds and limits, and meets on a quarterly basis. The 
following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonable change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the 
Group’s statement of comprehensive income.

The sensitivity of the statement of comprehensive income is the effect of the assumed changes in interest rates on the profit or 
loss for the year, based on the variable and fixed interest rate financial assets and liabilities held at 31 December 2021.

33.4 

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the inability of the Group to fund asset increases
or meet obligations as they fall due without incurring unacceptable costs or losses. The Group identifies this risk through maturity 
profiling of assets and liabilities and assessment of expected cash flows and the availability of collateral which could be used if 
additional funding is required.

The daily liquidity position is monitored and regular liquidity stress testing is conducted under a variety of scenarios covering both 
normal and more severe market conditions. All liquidity policies and procedures are subject to review and approval by the Board 
ALCO. 

The key measure used by the bank for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to deposits
to customers.  The Group also actively monitors its loans to deposit ratio against a set threshold in a bid to monitor and limit 
funding  risk.   The  group  monitors  funding  concentration  risk  by  reviewing  the  ratio  of  top  20  depositors  to  the  total  funding.  
Funding mix is also monitored by monitoring the contribution of wholesale and demand deposits to the total funding for the bank. 
Liquidity risk is monitored through a daily liquidity reports produced by the Risk Management department. This is augmented by 
a monthly management ALCO and a quarterly board ALCO meetings. 

The contractual maturities of undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in note 28.1.

The key measure used by the Group for managing liquidity risk is the ratio of net liquid assets to deposits from customers. The 
Group monitors its liquidity ratio in compliance with Banking Regulations to ensure that it is not less than 30% of the liabilities 
to the public.  Liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits and liquid investment securities 
available for immediate sale.

The Group expects that not all of the contingent liabilities or facilities approved but not drawn down will be drawn before expiry.

33.5 

Operational risk 

This risk is inherent in all business activities and is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, 
systems or from external events. The Group utilises monthly Key Risk Indicators to monitor operational risk in all units.  Further 
to this, the Group has an elaborate Operational Loss reporting system in which all incidents with a material impact on the well-
being of the Group are reported to risk management.  The risk department conducts periodic risk assessments on all the units 
within the Group aimed at identifying the top risks and ways to minimise their impact.  There is a Board Risk and Compliance 
Committee whose function is to ensure that this risk is minimised. The Risk Committee with the assistance of the internal audit 
function and the Risk Management department assesses the adequacy of the internal controls and makes the necessary 
recommendations to the Board.

33.6 

Legal and compliance risk

Legal risk is the risk from uncertainty due to legal actions or uncertainty in the applicability or interpretation of   contracts, 
laws or regulations. Legal risk may entail such issues as contract formation, capacity and contract frustration. Compliance 
risk is the risk arising from non – compliance with laws and regulations.  To manage this risk, permanent relationships are 
maintained with firms of legal practitioners and access to legal advice is readily available to all departments. The Group has 
an independent compliance function which is responsible for identifying and monitoring all compliance issues and ensures the 
Group complies with all regulatory and statutory requirements.

33.7 

Reputational risk

Reputation risk is the risk of loss of business as a result of negative publicity or negative perceptions by the market with 
regards to the way the Group conducts its business. To manage this risk, the Group strictly monitors customers’ complaints, 
continuously train staff at all levels, conducts market surveys and periodic reviews of business practices through its Internal 
Audit department. The directors are satisfied with the risk management processes in the Group as these have contributed to 
the minimisation of losses arising from risky exposures.

33.8 

Strategic risk

This refers to current and prospective impact on a Group’s earnings and capital arising from adverse business decisions or 
implementing strategies that are not consistent with the internal and external environment.  To manage this risk, the Group 
always has a strategic plan that is adopted by the Board of Directors.  Further, attainment of strategic objectives by the various 
departments is monitored periodically at management level.  

33.9 

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Risk
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainability risk is the consideration of non-financial risks arising from the 
environment (flora and fauna) as well as societal issues. The Group is not only concerned about making profits, but is also 
keen on assessing the impact it has on the planet and the people it interacts with. There is a growing number of frameworks 
and standards aimed at addressing global concerns on sustainability. Global risk reports show that environmental and societal 
risks have overtaken economic and geopolitical risks in terms of both likelihood and impact.

Low

Level of Inherent Risk

Low – reflects a lower than average probability of an adverse impact on a banking institution’s capital and earnings.  Losses in 
a functional area with low inherent risk would have little negative impact on the banking institution’s overall financial condition.

Moderate – could reasonably be expected to result in a loss which could be absorbed by a banking institution in the normal 
course of business.

High – reflects a higher than average probability of potential loss.  High inherent risk could reasonably be expected to result in 
a significant and harmful loss to the banking institution.

Adequacy of Risk Management Systems

Weak – risk management systems are inadequate or inappropriate given the size, complexity and risk profile of the banking 
institution.  Institution’s risk management systems are lacking in important ways and therefore a cause of more than normal 
supervisory attention.  The internal control systems will be lacking in important aspects particularly as indicated by continued 
control exceptions or by the failure to adhere to written policies and procedures.

33.    RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Acceptable – management of risk is largely effective but lacking to some modest degree.  While the institution might be 
having some minor risk management weaknesses, these have been recognised and are being addressed.  Management 
information systems are generally adequate.

Strong – management effectively identifies and controls all types of risk posed by the relevant functional areas or per inherent 
risk. The board and senior management are active participants in managing risk and ensure appropriate policies and limits are 
put in place.  The policies comprehensively define the bank’s risk tolerance, responsibilities and accountabilities are effectively 
communicated.

Overall Composite Risk

Low – would be assigned to low inherent risk areas.  Moderate risk areas may be assigned a low composite risk where 
internal controls and risk management systems are strong and effectively mitigate much of the risk.

Moderate – risk management systems appropriately mitigates inherent risk.  For a given low risk area, significant weaknesses 
in the risk management systems may result in a moderate composite risk assessment.  

On the other hand, a strong risk management system may reduce the risk so that any potential financial loss from the activity 
would have only a moderate negative impact on the financial condition of the organisation.

High – risk management systems do not significantly mitigate the high inherent risk.  Thus, the activity could potentially result 
in a financial loss that would have a significant impact on the bank’s overall condition.

Direction of Overall Composite Risk

Increasing – based on the current information, risk is expected to increase in the next 12 months.
Decreasing – based on current information, risk is expected to decrease in the next 12 months.
Stable – based on the current information, risk is expected to be stable in the next 12 months.

33.11.2  Banking subsidiary

The primary objective of the Bank’s capital management is to ensure that the Bank complies with the RBZ requirements.  In 
implementing the current capital requirements, the RBZ requires the Banking subsidiary to maintain a prescribed ratio of total 
capital to total risk weighted assets.

Regulatory capital consists of Tier 1 capital, which comprises share capital, share premium, retained earnings (including current 
year profit), statutory reserve and other equity reserves.  The other component of regulatory capital is Tier 2 capital, which 
includes subordinated term debt, revaluation reserves and portfolio provisions.

Tier 3 capital relates to an allocation of capital to market and operational risk.  

Various limits are applied to elements of the capital base.  The core capital (Tier 1) shall comprise not less than 50% of the 
capital base and the regulatory reserves and portfolio provisions are limited to 1.25% of total risk weighted assets.

The Bank’s regulatory capital position at 31 December was as follows:

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Sustainability Key Performance Indicators for the year ended 31 December 2021

 As a responsible corporate citizen, we aim to understand the impacts of our business activities on society, the environment and economies. We 
are committed to tracking, assessing and reporting on our impact, both positive and negative. Our impact areas or Key Performance Indicators 
(KPIs) are informed by the expectations of our stakeholders, and the economic, social and environmental context in which we operate.

As part of our integrated reporting framework and in conjunction with the triple bottom line reporting method, we have identified various impact 
areas, informed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are directly relevant to our core business as a provider 
of financial products and services. The Group adopted the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) Standards which represent global best practice for 
reporting publicly on a range of economic, environmental and social impacts.

ment Goals (SDGs). The reporting was a combination of both qualitative and quantitative impact analysis.
