On-lent amount
This is a term used in the adjusted on-lent amount calculation for a financial entity to describe all amounts the entity has lent to other entities. It also includes the value of certain leases and certain securities agreements.
An on-lent amount is relevant to calculating a financial entity's safe harbour debt amount. Generally, on-lent amounts represent the financial entity's on-lending business, which is subject to a concessionary on-lending rule.
A financial entity's on-lent amount is the sum of the following assets:
- the value of debt interests issued to the financial entity by other entities
- the value of leases for the hire of goods that are not debt interests issued by other entities where the
- leases are for 6 months or more
- leases are part of the business of hiring goods carried on by the financial entity
- financial entity's business of hiring goods is not carried on predominantly for the purpose of hiring goods to any of its associates
- the value of securities held by the financial entity that
- have been sold by the entity under a reciprocal purchase agreement, sell-buyback arrangement or securities loan arrangement
- have not yet been repurchased by the entity under the agreement or arrangement
- for entity's carrying on a business of dealing in securities but not predominately for the purposes of dealing in securities with, or on behalf of, the entity's associates, all the shares that
- the entity holds
- are listed for quotation in the official list of an approved stock exchange
- are not shares in any of the entity's associate entities.
