Sample RAROC calculation

On a representative BBB+ rated, 5-year term loan of EUR 25M at 150bp spread with a 20bp commitment fee, Qatar National Bank would generate an estimated RAROC of 9.00% against a typical 12% bank hurdle rate. To hit that hurdle on this exact deal, the bank would need a minimum spread of 203bp. This deal is below target — the bank would likely push for higher pricing or additional ancillary business.
