Division 5 Dexia shall reduce the proportion of short-term funding in its balance sheet and shall lengthen the average maturity of its long-term funding. Compliance with this commitment shall be assessed overall by means of three quantitative indicators. In this context:

Dexia shall maintain the ‘short-term funding/total balance sheet’ ratio defined in Annex II to this decision, at 30 % at 31 December 2009, at a level below or equal to 23 % at 31 December 2010, below or equal to 20 % at 31 December 2011, below or equal to 14 % at 31 December 2012, below or equal to 13 % at 31 December 2013 and below or equal to 11 % at 31 December 2014. For the purposes of this commitment, the ratio shall also be monitored as an annual average over the entire reference period.

Dexia shall lengthen the maturity of its funding and shall reduce its duration gap by maintaining the average term of the liabilities of the group as defined in Annex II to this decision, at a level above or equal to the levels below:

Dexia shall increase its stable sources of funding. A ratio shall be calculated, with the numerator equal to the sum of the funding in the form of covered bonds and the funding in the form of RCB and PWB commercial deposits and with the denominator equal to the sum of all the assets of the Dexia group. This ratio, equal to 36 % at 31 December 2009, must be above or equal to 40 % at 31 December 2010, above or equal to 45 % at 31 December 2011, above or equal to 53 % at 31 December 2012, above or equal to 55 % at 31 December 2013 and above or equal to 58 % at 31 December 2014.
