Board Evaluation and Declarations
The Board conducts an annual Board Effectiveness Evaluation (“BEE”) with the objective of assessing the performance and
effectiveness of the Board as a whole, Board Committees, and individual Directors. This is important to enable the Board to identify
areas for professional development and process improvements. The results of this exercise form part of the basis for the re-
appointment of Directors.

The BEE is a self and peer assessment based on a set of questionnaire. The exercise is conducted internally and facilitated by the
Corporate Secretarial Department (“CSD”). The results are presented to and discussed by the NRC and the Board, allowing them to
identify strengths, areas for improvement, and potential issues requiring attention. In addition, the Board also engages an external
consultant to conduct an independent BEE at least once every two (2) years.
Apart from that, the Board, through the NRC, assess the fitness and propriety of the Directors annually. The independence of INEDs
is also assessed annually and benchmarked against regulatory provisions. These assessments involve a self-declaration by the
Directors to confirm their ability to continue serving as Directors of the Bank. The other self-declarations regarding connected
parties, other directorships and asset declarations are made by the Directors at least once a year or whenever there is a change.
