Section 2.60.4.9 - COLLATERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR DEPOSITORY BANK SERVICES AND RISK ASSESSMENT RATIOS
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
A. The board directs the state treasurer to conduct risk assessment analysis of depository banks holding deposits of public money under the board's authority. The risk assessment will include a determination of each depository bank's primary capital-to-asset ratio, net operating income to total average asset ratio and non-performing loans to primary capital ratio for the past four (4) consecutive quarters. These risk assessment ratios will determine collateral level requirements for financial institutions holding deposits of public money as listed below.
B. Should the risk assessment ratios established in this section result in different levels of collateral for a depository bank, the state treasurer shall request the highest collateral level required by any ratio.
C. Collateral levels shall be required until the risk assessment ratios of the depository bank return to a level which allows collateral to be kept at a lower level or at statutory minimum level as appropriate.
D. State funds shall not be deposited or invested in a depository bank in an amount that, when added to state funds already on deposit in that depository bank, exceeds 200 percent of the total equity capital in case of banks or 200 percent of the net worth in the case of savings and loan associations or 10 percent of the total of the bank's or the saving and loan association's deposits, whichever is less, unless and until the bank or savings and loan association has pledged and maintains collateral with an aggregate market value equal to 102 percent of the aggregate amount on deposit. In no event shall state funds be deposited or invested in any amount that, when added to state funds already on deposit and invested in that depository bank, exceeds 400 percent of the total equity capital in case of banks or 400 percent of the depository bank's net worth in case of savings and loan associations or 25 percent of the total of the bank's or the savings and loan association's deposits, whichever is less, provided, however, the 25 percent of total deposits limitation shall not apply during the first year of operation of a newly chartered bank or savings and loan association. In the event state funds in a bank or savings and loan association exceed the 400 percent/25 percent limitations set out herein, the state treasurer shall not renew any maturing certificates of deposit and shall provide for the staged withdrawal of the amount in excess of these limitations over a reasonable period of time to avoid causing failure of the depository bank unless immediate withdrawal is necessary to prevent loss of funds pursuant to 2.60.4.12 NMAC. Further, the state treasurer shall not deposit state funds in credit unions in excess of the amount insured by an agency of the United States. The amount of state funds deposited and invested as described above shall exclude funds held by the state's fiscal agent bank, as the fiscal agent bank, and demand deposits held by state checking depository banks.
