An institution shall fully document its compliance with those policies and procedures, shall subject them to an internal audit on at least a yearly basis and shall make the results of that audit available to the competent authorities. An institution shall have in place an independent risk control function which shall evaluate, on an ongoing basis, whether its instruments are being properly assigned to the trading book or the non-trading book. 2. Institutions shall assign positions in the following instruments to the trading book: (a) instruments that meet the criteria set out in Article 325(6), (7) and (8), for the inclusion in the alternative correlation trading portfolio (ACTP); (b) instruments that would give rise to a net short credit or net short equity position in the non-trading book, with the exception of the own liabilities of the institution, unless such positions meet the criteria referred to in point (e); (c) instruments resulting from securities underwriting commitments, where those underwriting commitments relate only to securities that are expected to be purchased by the institution on the settlement date; (d) instruments classified unambiguously as having a trading purpose under the accounting framework applicable to the institution; (e) instruments resulting from market-making activities; (f) positions held with trading intent in CIUs, provided that those CIUs meet at least one of the conditions set out in paragraph 8; (g) listed equities; (h) trading-related securities financing transactions; (i) options, or other derivatives, embedded in the own liabilities of the institution in the non-trading book that relate to credit risk or equity risk.

An institution shall have a net short credit position where the credit spread increase, or the deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuer or group of issuers, results in a profit for the institution. Institutions shall continuously monitor whether instruments give rise to a net short credit or net short equity position in the non-trading book. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (i), an institution shall split the embedded option, or other derivative, from its own liability in the non-trading book that relates to credit risk or equity risk. It shall assign the embedded option, or other derivative, to the trading book and shall leave the own liability in the non-trading book. Where, due to its nature, it is not possible to split the instrument, an institution shall assign the whole instrument to the trading book. In such a case, it shall duly document the reason for applying that treatment. 3.

Where an institution has assigned to the trading book a position in an instrument other than the instruments referred to in paragraph 2, point (a), (b) or (c), the institution’s competent authority may ask the institution to provide evidence to justify such assignment. Where the institution fails to provide suitable evidence, its competent authority may require the institution to reassign that position to the non-trading book. 7. Where an institution has assigned to the non-trading book a position in an instrument other than the instruments referred to in paragraph 3, the institution’s competent authority may ask the institution to provide evidence to justify such assignment. Where the institution fails to provide suitable evidence, its competent authority may require the institution to reassign that position to the trading book. 8.

Approaches to credit risk
1. Institutions shall apply either the Standardised Approach provided for in Chapter 2 or, if where permitted by the competent authorities in accordance with Article 143, the Internal Ratings Based Approach provided for in Chapter 3 to calculate their risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 92(4), points (a) and (f) of Article 92(3).

2. For trade exposures and for default fund contributions to a central counterparty, institutions shall apply the treatment set out in Chapter 6, Section 9 9, to calculate their risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 92(4), points (a) and (f) of Article 92(3). (g). For all other types of exposures to a central counterparty, institutions shall treat those exposures as follows:
(a) as exposures to an institution for other types of exposures to a qualifying CCP;
(b) as exposures to a corporate for other types of exposures to a non-qualifying CCP.
3. For the purposes of this Regulation, exposures to a third-country investment firm, a firms, third-country credit institution institutions and a third-country exchange exchanges, as well as exposures to third-country financial institutions authorised and supervised by third-country authorities and subject to prudential requirements comparable to those applied to institutions in terms of robustness, shall be treated as exposures to an institution only where if the third country applies prudential and supervisory requirements to that entity that are at least equivalent to those applied in the Union.
4. For the purposes of paragraph 3, the Commission may adopt, by way of implementing acts, and subject to the examination procedure referred to in Article 464(2), a decision as to whether a third country applies prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements at least equivalent to those applied in the Union. In the absence of such a decision, until 1 January 2015, institutions may continue to treat exposures to the entities referred to in paragraph 3 as exposures to institutions provided that the relevant competent authorities have approved the third country as eligible for that treatment before 1 January 2014.

Calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts
1. To calculate risk-weighted exposure amounts, risk weights shall be applied to all exposures, unless those exposures are deducted from own funds or are subject to the treatment set out in Article 72e(5), first subparagraph, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2. 2 of this Regulation. The application of risk weights shall be based on the exposure class to which the exposure is assigned and, to the extent specified in Section 2, its credit quality. Credit quality may be determined by reference to the credit assessments of ECAIs or the credit assessments of export credit agencies in accordance with Section 3.
With the exception of exposures assigned to the exposure classes set out in Article 112, points (a), (b), (c) and (e), of this Regulation where the assessment in accordance with Article 79, point (b), of Directive 2013/36/EU reflects higher risk characteristics than those implied by the credit quality step to which the exposure would be assigned based on the applicable credit assessment of the nominated ECAI or export credit agency, the institution shall assign a risk weight at least one credit quality step higher than the risk weight implied by the credit assessment of the nominated ECAI or export credit agency.
2. For the purposes of applying a risk weight, as referred to in paragraph 1, the exposure value shall be multiplied by the risk weight specified or determined in accordance with Section 2.
3. Where an exposure is subject to credit protection protection, the exposure value or the risk weight applicable to that item exposure, as appropriate, may be amended in accordance with this Chapter and Chapter 4.
4. Risk-weighted exposure amounts for securitised exposures shall be calculated in accordance with Chapter 5.
5. Exposures The exposure value of any item for which no calculation risk weight is provided in Section 2 for under this Chapter shall be assigned a risk-weight risk weight of 100 %.
6. With the exception of exposures giving rise to Common Equity Tier 1, Additional Tier 1 or Tier 2 items, an institution may, subject to the prior approval of the competent authorities, decide not to apply the requirements of paragraph 1 of this Article to the exposures of that institution to a counterparty which is its parent undertaking, its subsidiary, a subsidiary of its parent undertaking undertaking, or an undertaking linked to the institution by a relationship within the meaning of Article 12(1) 22(7) of Directive 83/349/EEC. 2013/34/EU.

The provision now opens with a new paragraph -1 assigning risk weights to exposures to regional governments or local authorities based on a nominated ECAI credit assessment using a table linked to Article 136, whereas the prior version had no such credit-assessment-based table and instead risk-weighted these exposures as exposures to institutions.
Paragraph 1 is rewritten so that exposures without a nominated ECAI credit assessment are risk-weighted according to a second table tied to the credit quality step of the relevant central government, including a stated 100% weight where that central government is unrated, replacing the earlier rule that simply treated such exposures as exposures to institutions unless treated as central government exposures or given the paragraph 5 weight.
Paragraphs 2, 4 and 5 now state they apply by way of derogation from paragraphs -1 and 1, paragraph 3 refers to legal acts rather than legislation conferring taxing rights and drops the reference to Article 150(1)(a) permission, and paragraph 5's cross-reference is expanded to paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 instead of paragraphs 2 to 4.

2. By way of derogation from paragraphs - 1 and Article 120(2) shall not be applied.
2. Exposures 1, exposures to regional governments or local authorities shall be treated as exposures to the central government in whose jurisdiction they are established where there is no difference in risk between such exposures because of the specific revenue-raising powers of the former, and the existence of specific institutional arrangements the effect of which is to reduce their risk of default.
EBA shall maintain a publicly available database of all regional governments and local authorities within the Union which relevant competent authorities treat as exposures to their central governments.
3. Exposures to churches or religious communities constituted in the form of a legal person under public law shall, in so far as they raise taxes in accordance with legislation legal acts conferring on them the right to do so, be treated as exposures to regional governments and local authorities. In this that case, paragraph 2 shall not apply and, for the purposes apply.

The after text replaces that approach with a grading system that sorts exposures to unrated institutions into Grade A, B or C based on multiple qualitative and quantitative conditions, including capital and disclosure criteria, and then maps those grades to risk weights using a new Table 1, with a further 30% weight option for certain Grade A exposures meeting specific capital and leverage ratio thresholds.
The after text also adds a new paragraph directing institutions to assess whether financial institutions treated as institutions under Article 119(5) meet comparable prudential requirements for grading purposes, a mechanism absent from the before text.

Specialised lending exposures for which a directly applicable credit assessment by a nominated ECAI is not available shall be assigned a risk weight as follows: (a) where the purpose of a specialised lending exposure is to finance the acquisition of physical assets, including ships, aircraft, satellites, railcars, and fleets, and the income to be generated by those assets comes in the form of cash flows generated by the specific physical assets that have been financed and pledged or assigned to the lender (object finance exposures), institutions shall apply a risk weight of 100 %; (b) where the purpose of a specialised lending exposure is to provide for short-term financing of reserves, inventories or receivables of exchange-traded commodities, including crude oil, metals or crops, and the income to be generated by those reserves, inventories or receivables is to be the proceeds from the sale of the commodity (commodity finance exposures), institutions shall apply a risk weight of 100 %; (c) where the purpose of a specialised lending exposure is to finance an individual project, either in the form of construction of a new capital installation or refinancing of an existing installation, with or without improvements, for the development or acquisition of large, complex and expensive installations, including power plants, chemical processing plants, mines, transportation infrastructure, environment, and telecommunications infrastructure, in which the lending institution looks primarily to the revenues generated by the financed project, both as the source of repayment and as security for the loan (project finance exposures), institutions shall apply the following risk weights: (i) 130 % where the project to which the exposure is related is in the pre-operational phase; (ii) provided that the adjustment to own funds requirements for credit risk referred to in Article 501a is not applied, 80 % where the project to which the exposure is related is in the operational phase and the exposure meets all of the following criteria: (1) there are contractual restrictions on the ability of the obligor to perform activities that might be detrimental to lenders, including the restriction that new debt cannot be issued without the consent of existing debt providers; (2) the obligor has sufficient reserve funds fully funded in cash, or other financial arrangements with an entity, to cover the contingency funding and working capital needs over the lifetime of the project being financed, provided that the entity is assigned an ECAI rating by a recognised ECAI with a credit quality step of at least 3 or, in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in accordance with Chapter 3, where the entity does not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI, that entity is assigned with an internal credit rating equivalent to a credit quality step of at least 3 by the institution, provided that that entity is internally rated by the institution in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 6; (3) the project to which the exposure is related generates cash flows that are predictable and cover all future loan repayments; (4) where the revenues of the obligor are not funded by payments from a large number of users, the source of repayment of the obligation depends on one main counterparty and that main counterparty is one of the following: a central bank, a central government, a regional government or a local authority, provided that they are assigned a risk weight of 0 % in accordance with Articles 114 and 115, or are assigned an ECAI rating with a credit quality step of at least 3 by a recognised ECAI; or, in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in accordance with Chapter 3, where the central bank, central government, regional government or local authority do not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI, they are assigned with an internal credit rating equivalent to a credit quality step of at least 3 by the institution, provided that they are internally rated by the institution in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 6; a public sector entity, provided that that entity is assigned a risk weight of 20 % or below in accordance with Article 116, or is assigned an ECAI rating with a credit quality step of at least 3 by a recognised ECAI or, in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in accordance with Chapter 3, where the public sector entity does not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI, that public sector entity is assigned with an internal credit rating equivalent to a credit quality step of at least 3 by the institution, provided that that public sector entity is internally rated by the institution in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 6, a corporate entity which has been assigned an ECAI rating with a credit quality step of at least 3 by a recognised ECAI, or, in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in accordance with Chapter 3, where the corporate entity does not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI, that corporate entity is assigned an internal credit rating equivalent to a credit quality step of at least 3 by the institution, provided that that corporate entity is internally rated by the institution in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 3, Section 6; (5) the contractual provisions governing the exposure to the obligor provide for a high degree of protection for the lending institution in the case of a default of the obligor; (6) the main counterparty, or other counterparties which similarly comply with the eligibility criteria for the main counterparty, effectively protect the lending institution against losses resulting from the termination of the project;

(iii) 100 % where the project to which the exposure is related is in the operational phase and the exposure does not meet the conditions set out in point (ii); (d) for the purposes of point (c)(ii)(3), the cash flows generated shall not be considered predictable unless a substantial part of the revenues satisfies one or more of the following conditions: (i) the revenues are availability-based, meaning that, once construction is completed, the obligor is entitled, as long as the contractual conditions are fulfilled, to payments from its contractual counterparties which cover operating and maintenance costs, debt service costs and equity returns as the obligor operates the project, and those payments are not subject to swings in demand, such as traffic levels, and are adjusted typically only for lack of performance or lack of availability of the asset to the public; (ii) the revenues are subject to a rate-of-return regulation; (iii) the revenues are subject to a take-or-pay contract; (e) for the purposes of point (c), the operational phase shall mean the phase in which the entity that was specifically created to finance the project, or that is economically comparable, meets both of the following conditions: (i) the entity has a positive net cash flow that is sufficient to cover any remaining contractual obligation; (ii) the entity has a declining long term debt. 4. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to further specify the conditions under which the criteria set out in paragraph 3, point (c)(ii), are met. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 July 2026. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
MODIFIED +2,599 −1,776 Art. 123 Retail exposures§
applies from: unchanged
The criteria for classifying an exposure as retail have been rewritten into four lettered conditions covering natural persons or SMEs, the EUR 1 million exposure ceiling, the significant-number-of-similar-exposures test, and a new requirement that the institution treat and manage the exposure internally as retail over time, replacing the earlier three-condition list.
A new paragraph 2 excludes certain non-debt, debt and security exposures from being treated as retail, and the risk weight rules previously embedded in paragraph 1 have been moved into separate paragraphs, with paragraph 3 setting a 75% weight for retail exposures except transactor exposures which now get 45%, and paragraph 4 introducing a new 100% risk weight for exposures to natural persons that fail to meet the paragraph 1 criteria.
The pensioner and employee loan provisions, previously in paragraph 1, now appear as paragraph 5 phrased as a derogation from paragraph 3, with the insurance policy condition in point (b) no longer specifying that it be underwritten by the borrower.

INSERTED +1,816 −0 Art. 123a Exposures with a currency mismatch§
applies from: unknown (an inserted provision states its own application date only in prose)
A new Article 123a introduces a requirement that, for certain retail and mortgage-secured exposures to natural persons, the risk weight otherwise assigned under this Chapter be multiplied by 1.5, capped at 150%, when the exposure's currency differs from the obligor's income currency and the obligor lacks sufficient hedging against that mismatch.
It also defines what counts as a source of income for this purpose, sets a fallback rule applying the 1.5 multiplier to all unhedged exposures in a foreign currency when specific mismatched exposures cannot be isolated, and excludes the euro/ERM II currency pairing from the multiplier.

Article 123a Exposures with a currency mismatch 1. For exposures to natural persons that are assigned to the exposure class referred to in Article 112, point (h), or for exposures to natural persons that qualify as exposures secured by mortgages on residential property that are assigned to the exposure class referred to in Article 112, point (i), the risk weight assigned in accordance with this Chapter shall be multiplied by a factor of 1,5, whereby the resulting risk weight shall not be higher than 150 %, where the following conditions are met: (a) the exposure is denominated in a currency which is different from the currency of the obligor’s source of income; (b) the obligor does not have a hedge for its payment risk due to the currency mismatch, either by a financial instrument or foreign currency income that matches the currency of the exposure, or the total of such hedges available to the borrower covers less than 90 % of each instalment for this exposure. Where an institution is unable to single out those exposures with a currency mismatch, the risk weight multiplier of 1,5 shall apply to all unhedged exposures where the currency of the exposures is different from the domestic currency of the country of residence of the obligor. 2. For the purposes of this Article, source of income refers to any source that generates cash flows to the obligor, including from remittances, rental incomes or salaries, whilst excluding proceeds from selling assets or similar recourse actions by the institution. 3. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where the pair of currencies referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), is composed of the euro and the currency of a Member State participating in the second stage of economic and monetary union (ERM II), the risk weight multiplier of 1,5 shall not apply.

applies from: unknown (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date)
dates removed: 2019-12-31
The provision is rewritten from a short general rule assigning a 100% risk weight to unsecured or non-conforming mortgage exposures and giving designated authorities a general power to adjust risk weights for residential and commercial property segments, into a much longer structure that separately defines treatment for non-ADC and ADC exposures, IPRE and non-IPRE exposures, and introduces detailed eligibility conditions, junior-lien recognition rules, and an exposure-to-value (ETV) ratio calculation methodology.
New paragraphs are added covering treatment of undrawn facilities, leasing transactions with a purchase option, and expanded rules on how designated authorities may raise risk weights up to a stated 150% cap or lower exposure-to-value thresholds, matters not present in the earlier text.
The paragraph numbering is also reorganized, with the authority-designation and risk-weight-assessment provisions moved from paragraphs 1a and 2 to paragraphs 8 and 9, and the cross-Member-State application rule moved from paragraph 6 to paragraph 13.

Article 124 Exposures secured by mortgages on immovable property 1. An exposure or any part of an exposure fully secured by mortgage on immovable property shall be assigned a risk weight of 100 %, where the conditions set out in Article 125 or 126 are not met, except for any part of the exposure which is assigned to another exposure class. The part of the exposure that exceeds the mortgage value of the immovable property shall be assigned the risk weight applicable to the unsecured exposures of the counterparty involved. The part of an exposure that is treated as fully secured by immovable property shall not be greater than the pledged amount of the market value or in those Member States that have laid down rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value in statutory or regulatory provisions, the mortgage lending value of the immovable property in question. 1a. Member States shall designate an authority to be responsible for the application of paragraph 2. That authority shall be the competent authority or the designated authority. Where the authority designated by the Member State for the application of this Article is the competent authority, it shall ensure that the relevant national bodies and authorities which have a macroprudential mandate are duly informed of the competent authority's intention to make use of this Article, and are appropriately involved in the assessment of financial stability concerns in its Member State in accordance with paragraph 2. Where the authority designated by the Member State for the application of this Article is different from the competent authority, the Member State shall adopt the necessary provisions to ensure proper coordination and exchange of information between the competent authority and the designated authority for the proper application of this Article. In particular, authorities shall be required to cooperate closely and to share all the information that may be necessary for the adequate performance of the duties imposed upon the designated authority pursuant to this Article. That cooperation shall aim at avoiding any form of duplicative or inconsistent action between the competent authority and the designated authority, as well as ensuring that the interaction with other measures, in particular measures taken under Article 458 of this Regulation and Article 133 of Directive 2013/36/EU, is duly taken into account. 2. Based on the data collected under Article 430a and on any other relevant indicators, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a of this Article shall periodically, and at least annually, assess whether the risk weight of 35 % for exposures to one or more property segments secured by mortgages on residential property referred to in Article 125 located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of the relevant authority and the risk weight of 50 % for exposures secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property referred to in Article 126 located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of the relevant authority are appropriately based on: (a) the loss experience of exposures secured by immovable property; (b) forward-looking immovable property markets developments. Where, on the basis of the assessment referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a of this Article concludes that the risk weights set out in Article 125(2) or 126(2) do not adequately reflect the actual risks related to exposures to one or more property segments fully secured by mortgages on residential property or on commercial immovable property located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of the relevant authority, and if it considers that the inadequacy of the risk weights could adversely affect current or future financial stability in its Member State, it may increase the risk weights applicable to those exposures within the ranges determined in the fourth subparagraph of this paragraph or impose stricter criteria than those set out in Article 125(2) or 126(2). The authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a of this Article shall notify EBA and the ESRB of any adjustments to risk weights and criteria applied pursuant to this paragraph. Within one month of receipt of that notification, EBA and the ESRB shall provide their opinion to the Member State concerned. EBA and the ESRB shall publish the risk weights and criteria for exposures referred to in Articles 125, 126 and point (a) of Article 199(1) as implemented by the relevant authority. For the purposes of the second subparagraph of this paragraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a may set the risk weights within the following ranges: (a) 35 % to 150 % for exposures secured by mortgages on residential property; (b) 50 % to 150 % for exposures secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property. 3. Where the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a sets higher risk weights or stricter criteria pursuant to the second subparagraph of paragraph 2, institutions shall have a six-month transitional period to apply them. 4. EBA, in close cooperation with the ESRB, shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value referred to in paragraph 1 and the types of factors to be considered for the assessment of the appropriateness of the risk weights referred in the first subparagraph of paragraph 2. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2019. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. 5. The ESRB may, by means of recommendations in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1092/2010, and in close cooperation with EBA, give guidance to authorities designated in accordance with paragraph 1a of this Article on the following: (a) factors which could adversely affect current or future financial stability referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 2; and (b) indicative benchmarks that the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 1a is to take into account when determining higher risk weights. 6. The institutions of a Member State shall apply the risk weights and criteria that have been determined by the authorities of another Member State in accordance with paragraph 2 to all their corresponding exposures secured by mortgages on residential property or commercial immovable property located in one or more parts of that Member State. 11. EBA, in close cooperation with the ESRB, shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the types of factors to be considered for the assessment of the appropriateness of the risk weights referred to in paragraph 9. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 January 2026. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. 12. The ESRB may, by means of recommendations, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1092/2010, and in close cooperation with EBA, give guidance to authorities designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article on both of the following: (a) factors which could adversely affect current or future financial stability referred to in paragraph 9, second subparagraph; (b) indicative benchmarks that the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 is to take into account when determining higher risk weights. 14. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify what constitutes an equivalent legal mechanism in place to ensure that the property under construction is completed within a reasonable timeframe, in accordance with paragraph 3, point (a)(iii)(2). EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 July 2025.

Article 124 Exposures secured by mortgages on immovable property 1. A non-ADC exposure that does not meet all of the conditions set out in paragraph 3, or any part of a non-ADC exposure that exceeds the nominal amount of the lien on the property, shall be treated as follows: (a) a non-IPRE exposure shall be risk weighted as an exposure to the counterparty that is not secured by the immovable property concerned; (b) an IPRE exposure shall be assigned a risk weight of 150 %. 2. A non-ADC exposure, up to the nominal amount of the lien on the property, where all of the conditions set out in paragraph 3 of this Article are met, shall be treated as follows: (a) where the exposure is secured by a residential property, (i) a non-IPRE exposure shall be treated in accordance with Article 125(1): (ii) an IPRE exposure shall be treated in accordance with Article 125(1) where it meets any of the following conditions: (1) the immovable property securing the exposure is the obligor’s primary residence, either where the immovable property as a whole constitutes a single housing unit or where the immovable property securing the exposure is a housing unit that is a separated part within the immovable property; (2) the exposure is to a natural person and is secured by an income-producing residential housing unit, either where the immovable property as a whole constitutes a single housing unit or where the housing unit is a separated part within the immovable property, and total exposures of the institution to that natural person are not secured by more than four immovable properties, including those which are not residential properties or which do not meet any of the criteria set out in this point, or separate housing units within immovable properties; (3) the exposure is to associations or cooperatives of natural persons that are regulated by national law and exist with the sole purpose of granting their members the use of a primary residence in the property securing the loan; (4) the exposure is to public housing companies or not-for-profit associations that are regulated by law and exist to serve social purposes and to offer tenants long-term housing; (iii) an IPRE exposure which does not meet any of the conditions set out in point (ii) of this point, shall be treated in accordance with Article 125(2); (b) where the exposure is secured by commercial immovable property, it shall be treated as follows: (i) a non-IPRE exposure shall be treated in accordance with Article 126(1); (ii) an IPRE exposure shall be treated in accordance with Article 126(2). 3. In order to be eligible for the treatment referred to in paragraph 2, an exposure secured by an immovable property shall fulfil all of the following conditions: (a) the immovable property securing the exposure meets any of the following conditions: (i) the immovable property has been fully completed; (ii) the immovable property is forest or agricultural land; (iii) the lending is to a natural person and the immovable property is either a residential property under construction or it is land upon which a residential property is planned to be constructed where that plan has been legally approved by all relevant authorities, as applicable, and where any of the following conditions is met: (1) the immovable property does not have more than four residential housing units and will be the primary residence of the obligor and the lending to the natural person is not indirectly financing ADC exposures; (2) a central government, regional government or local authority or a public sector entity is involved, exposures to which are treated in accordance with Article 115(2) or Article 116(4), respectively, and has the legal powers and ability to ensure that the property under construction will be finished within a reasonable time frame and is required, or has committed in a legally binding manner, to ensure completion where the construction would otherwise not be finished within such reasonable time frame; alternatively, there is an equivalent legal mechanism in place to ensure that the property under construction is completed within a reasonable timeframe; (b) the exposure is secured by a first lien held by the institution on the immovable property, or the institution holds the first lien and any sequentially lower ranking lien on that property; (c) the property value is not materially dependent upon the credit quality of the obligor; (d) all information required at origination of the exposure and for monitoring purposes is properly documented, including information on the ability of the obligor to repay and on the valuation of the property; (e) the requirements set out in Article 208 are met and the valuation rules set out in Article 229(1) are complied with. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), institutions may exclude situations where purely macro-economic factors affect both the property value and the performance of the obligor. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (d), institutions shall put in place underwriting policies with respect to the origination of exposures secured by immovable property that include the assessment of the ability of the borrower to repay. The underwriting policies shall include the relevant metrics for that assessment and their respective maximum levels. 4. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, point (b), in jurisdictions where junior liens provide the holder with a claim on collateral that is legally enforceable and constitutes an effective credit risk mitigant, junior liens held by an institution other than the one holding the senior lien may also be recognised, including where the institution does not hold the senior lien or does not hold a lien ranking between a more senior lien and a more junior lien both held by the institution. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, the rules governing the liens shall ensure all of the following: (a) each institution holding a lien on a property can initiate the sale of the property independently from other entities holding a lien on the property; (b) where the sale of the property is not carried out by means of a public auction, entities holding a senior lien take reasonable steps to obtain a fair market value or the best price that may be obtained in the circumstances when exercising any power of sale on their own. 5. For the purpose of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts for undrawn facilities, liens that satisfy all eligibility requirements set out in paragraph 3 and, where applicable, paragraph 4, may be recognised where drawing under the facility is conditional on the prior or simultaneous filing of a lien to the extent of the institution’s interest in the lien once the facility is drawn, such that the institution does not have any interest in the lien to the extent that the facility is not drawn. 6. For the purposes of Article 125(2) and Article 126(2), the exposure-to-value (ETV) ratio shall be calculated by dividing the gross exposure amount by the property value subject to the following conditions: (a) the gross exposure amount shall be calculated as the accounting value of the asset item related to the exposure secured by immovable property and any undrawn but committed amount that, once drawn, would increase the exposure value of the exposure which is secured by immovable property; that gross exposure amount shall be calculated without taking into account: (i) specific credit risk adjustments in accordance with Article 110; (ii) additional value adjustments in accordance with Article 34 related to the non-trading book business of the institution; (iii) amounts deducted in accordance with Article 36(1), point (m); and (iv) other own funds reductions related to the asset item; (b) the gross exposure amount shall be calculated without taking into account any type of funded or unfunded credit protection, except for pledged deposits accounts with the lending institution that meet all requirements for on-balance-sheet netting, either under master netting agreements in accordance with Articles 196 and 206 or under other on-balance-sheet netting agreements in accordance with Articles 195 and 205 and have been unconditionally and irrevocably pledged for the sole purpose of fulfilling the credit obligation related to the exposure secured by immovable property; (c) for exposures that are required to be treated in accordance with Article 125(2) or Article 126(2) where a party other than the institution holds a senior lien and a junior lien held by the institution is recognised under paragraph 4 of this Article, the gross exposure amount shall be calculated as the sum of the gross exposure amount of the lien held by the institution and of the gross exposure amounts for all other liens of equal or higher ranking seniority than the lien held by the institution. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), where an institution has more than one exposure secured by the same immovable property and those exposures are secured by liens on that immovable property that are sequential in ranking order without any lien held by a third party ranking in-between, the exposures shall be treated as a single combined exposure and the gross exposure amounts for the individual exposures shall be summed up to calculate the gross exposure amount for the single combined exposure. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), where there is insufficient information to be able to ascertain the ranking of the other liens, the institution shall treat those liens as ranking pari passu with the junior lien held by the institution. The institution shall first determine the risk weight in accordance with Article 125(2) or Article 126(2) (the base risk weight), as applicable. It shall then adjust this risk weight by a multiplier of 1,25, for the purposes of calculating the risk-weighted amounts of junior liens. Where the base risk weight corresponds to the lowest exposure-to-value bucket, the multiplier shall not be applied. The risk weight resulting from multiplying the base risk weight by 1,25 shall be capped at the risk weight that would be applied to the exposure if the requirements in paragraph 3 were not met. 7. Exposures to a tenant under an immovable property leasing transaction under which the institution is the lessor and the tenant has an option to purchase shall qualify as exposures secured by immovable property and shall be treated in accordance with the treatment set out in Article 125 or 126 if the applicable conditions set out in this Article are met, provided that the exposure of the institution is secured by its ownership of the property. 8. Member States shall designate an authority to be responsible for the application of paragraph 9. That authority shall be the competent authority or the designated authority. Where the authority designated by the Member State for the application of this Article is the competent authority, it shall ensure that the relevant national bodies and authorities which have a macroprudential mandate are duly informed of the competent authority’s intention to make use of this Article, and are appropriately involved in the assessment of financial stability concerns in its Member State in accordance with paragraph 9. Where the authority designated by the Member State for the application of this Article is different from the competent authority, the Member State shall adopt the necessary provisions to ensure proper coordination and exchange of information between the competent authority and the designated authority for the proper application of this Article. In particular, authorities shall be required to cooperate closely and to share all information that might be necessary for the adequate performance of the duties imposed upon the designated authority pursuant to this Article. That cooperation shall aim to avoid any form of duplicative or inconsistent action between the competent authority and the designated authority, as well as to ensure that the interaction with other measures, in particular measures taken under Article 458 of this Regulation and Article 133 of Directive 2013/36/EU, is duly taken into account. 9. Based on the data collected under Article 430a and on any other relevant indicators, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article shall periodically, and at least annually, assess whether the risk weights laid down in Articles 125 and 126 for exposures secured by immovable property located in the territory of the Member State of that authority are appropriately based on: (a) the loss experience of exposures secured by immovable property; (b) forward-looking immovable property market developments. Where, on the basis of the assessment referred to in the first subparagraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article concludes that the risk weights set out in Article 125 or 126 do not adequately reflect the actual risks related to exposures to one or more property segments secured by mortgages on residential property or on commercial immovable property located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of that authority, and if it considers that the inadequacy of the risk weights could adversely affect current or future financial stability in its Member State, it may increase the risk weights applicable to those exposures within the ranges determined in the fourth subparagraph of this paragraph or impose stricter criteria than those set out in paragraph 3 of this Article. The authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article shall notify EBA and the ESRB of any adjustments to risk weights and criteria applied pursuant to this paragraph. Within one month of receipt of that notification, EBA and the ESRB shall provide their opinion to the Member State concerned and may indicate in that opinion, where necessary, whether they consider that the adjustments to risk weights and criteria are also recommended for other Member States. EBA and the ESRB shall publish the risk weights and criteria for exposures referred to in Articles 125 and 126 and Article 199(1), point (a), as implemented by the relevant authority. For the purposes of the second subparagraph of this paragraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article may increase the risk weights laid down in Article 125(1), first subparagraph, Article 125(2), first subparagraph, Article 126(1), first subparagraph, or Article 126(2), first subparagraph, or impose stricter criteria than those set out in paragraph 3 of this Article for exposures to one or more property segments secured by mortgages on immovable property located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of that authority. That authority shall not increase those risk weights to more than 150 %. For the purposes of the second subparagraph of this paragraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 of this Article may also reduce the percentages of the property value referred to in Article 125(1) or Article 126(1) or the exposure-to-value percentages that define the exposure-to-value risk weight bucket set out in in Article 125(2), Table 1, or in Article 126(2), Table 1. The relevant authority shall ensure consistency across all exposure-to-value risk weight buckets, such that the risk weight of a lower exposure-to-value risk weight bucket is always lower or equal to the risk weight of an upper exposure-to-value risk weight bucket. 10. Where the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 8 sets higher risk weights or stricter criteria pursuant to paragraph 9, institutions shall have a six-month transitional period to apply them. 11. EBA, in close cooperation with the ESRB, shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the types of factors to be considered for the assessment of the appropriateness of the risk weights referred to in paragraph 9.

MODIFIED +3,685 −3,000 Art. 125 Exposures secured by mortgages on residential property§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree about the kind of change — they agree this provision changed and disagree about how: the text comparison called it MODIFIED and the EU's own amendment metadata called it INSERTED. Both are shown; neither is overruled.
The provision's title changes from referring to exposures fully and completely secured by mortgages on residential property to exposures secured by mortgages on residential property, and the entire substantive structure is replaced.
Where the earlier text set a flat 35% risk weight for fully secured residential mortgage exposures meeting listed conditions on valuation independence, borrower repayment capacity, Articles 208 and 229(1), and an 80% loan-to-value cap, the later text instead assigns a 20% risk weight to the portion of an exposure up to 55% of property value under Article 124(2), with adjustments for junior liens and pari passu liens, and applies a tiered risk-weight table by exposure-to-value bucket to the remainder.
The earlier loss-rate derogation tied to Member State evidence of a well-developed residential property market with specified loss thresholds is replaced by a derogation referencing loss rates published under Article 430a, and a new provision extends a comparable derogation to third countries with equivalent supervisory arrangements or to EBA-published data where a third country does not publish such rates.

Article 125 Exposures fully and completely secured by mortgages on residential property 1. Unless otherwise decided by the competent authorities in accordance with Article 124(2), exposures fully and completely secured by mortgages on residential property shall be treated as follows: (a) exposures or any part of an exposure fully and completely secured by mortgages on residential property which is or shall be occupied or let by the owner, or the beneficial owner in the case of personal investment companies, shall be assigned a risk weight of 35 %; (b) exposures to a tenant under a property leasing transaction concerning residential property under which the institution is the lessor and the tenant has an option to purchase, shall be assigned a risk weight of 35 % provided that the exposure of the institution is fully and completely secured by its ownership of the property. 2. Institutions shall consider an exposure or any part of an exposure as fully and completely secured for the purposes of paragraph 1 only if the following conditions are met: (a) the value of the property shall not materially depend upon the credit quality of the borrower. Institutions may exclude situations where purely macro-economic factors affect both the value of the property and the performance of the borrower from their determination of the materiality of such dependence; (b) the risk of the borrower shall not materially depend upon the performance of the underlying property or project, but on the underlying capacity of the borrower to repay the debt from other sources, and as a consequence, the repayment of the facility shall not materially depend on any cash flow generated by the underlying property serving as collateral. For those other sources, institutions shall determine maximum loan-to-income ratios as part of their lending policy and obtain suitable evidence of the relevant income when granting the loan; (c) the requirements set out in Article 208 and the valuation rules set out in Article 229(1) are met; (d) unless otherwise determined under Article 124(2), the part of the loan to which the 35 % risk weight is assigned does not exceed 80 % of the market value of the property in question or 80 % of the mortgage lending value of the property in question in those Member States that have laid down rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value in statutory or regulatory provisions. 3. Institutions may derogate from point (b) of paragraph 2 for exposures fully and completely secured by mortgages on residential property which is situated within the territory of a Member State, where the competent authority of that Member State has published evidence showing that a well-developed and long-established residential property market is present in that territory with loss rates which do not exceed the following limits: (a) losses stemming from lending collateralised by residential property up to 80 % of the market value or 80 % of the mortgage lending value, unless otherwise decided under Article 124(2), do not exceed 0,3 % of the outstanding loans collateralised by residential property in any given year; (b) overall losses stemming from lending collateralised by residential property do not exceed 0,5 % of the outstanding loans collateralised by residential property in any given year. 4. Where either of the limits referred to in paragraph 3 is not satisfied in a given year, the eligibility to use paragraph 3 shall cease and the condition contained in point (b) of paragraph 2 shall apply until the conditions in paragraph 3 are satisfied in a subsequent year.

Article 125 Exposures secured by mortgages on residential property 1. For an exposure secured by residential property as referred to in Article 124(2), point (a)(i) or (ii), the part of the exposure up to 55 % of the property value shall be assigned a risk weight of 20 %. Where an institution holds a junior lien and there are more senior liens not held by that institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 20 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value shall be reduced by the amount of the more senior liens not held by the institution. Where liens not held by the institution rank pari passu with the lien held by the institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 20 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of any more senior liens not held by the institution, shall be reduced by the product of: (a) 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of more senior liens, if any, both held by the institution and held by other institutions; and (b) the amount of liens not held by the institution that rank pari passu with the lien held by the institution divided by the sum of all pari passu liens. Where, in accordance with Article 124(9), the competent authority or designated authority has set a higher risk weight or a lower percentage of the property value than those referred to in this paragraph, institutions shall use the risk weight or percentage set in accordance with Article 124(9). The remaining part of the exposure referred to in the first subparagraph, if any, shall be risk weighted as an exposure to the counterparty that is not secured by residential property. 2. An exposure as referred to in Article 124(2), point (a)(iii), shall be assigned the risk weight set in accordance with the respective exposure-to-value risk weight bucket in Table 1. For the purposes of this paragraph, where, in accordance with Article 124(9), the competent authority or designated authority, has set a higher risk weight or a lower exposure-to-value percentage than those referred to in this paragraph, institutions shall use the risk weight or percentage set in accordance with Article 124(9).

Institutions may also apply the derogation referred to in paragraph 2, third subparagraph, of this Article in cases where the competent authority of a third country which applies supervisory and regulatory arrangements at least equivalent to those applied in the Union as determined in a decision of the Commission adopted in accordance with Article 107(4), publishes corresponding loss rates for exposures secured by residential property situated within the territory of that third country. Where a competent authority of a third country does not publish corresponding loss rates for exposures secured by residential property situated within the territory of that third country, EBA may publish such information for that third country, provided that valid statistical data, that are statistically representative of the corresponding residential property market, are available.

Sources disagree about the kind of change — they agree this provision changed and disagree about how: the text comparison called it MODIFIED and the EU's own amendment metadata called it INSERTED. Both are shown; neither is overruled.
The heading and substance of Article 126 have changed from setting risk weights for exposures fully and completely secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property under a 50% risk-weight framework, to a new structure assigning risk weights based on loan-to-value or exposure-to-value tranches referencing Article 124(2), including a 60% weight up to 55% of property value and a table of exposure-to-value buckets with weights of 70%, 90% and 110%.
The prior conditions for treating an exposure as fully and completely secured, the specific derogation criteria tied to national loss-rate limits of 0.3% and 0.5% of outstanding loans, and the consequence of failing those limits have been replaced with a differently formulated derogation mechanism tied to loss rates published under Article 430a and to third-country equivalence decisions under Article 107(4).
The revised text also adds a new paragraph requiring EBA to submit a report to the Commission on adjusting the treatment of such exposures, and requiring the Commission, where appropriate, to submit a legislative proposal, with the report and proposal referencing the dates 31 December 2027 and 31 December 2028 respectively.

Article 126 Exposures secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property 1. For an exposure secured by commercial immovable property as referred to in Article 124(2), point (b)(i), the part of the exposure up to 55 % of the property value shall be assigned a risk weight of 60 %. Where an institution holds a junior lien and there are more senior liens not held by that institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 60 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value shall be reduced by the amount of the more senior liens not held by the institution.

Where, in accordance with Article 124(9), the competent authority or designated authority, has set a higher risk weight or a lower percentage of the property value than those referred to in this paragraph, institutions shall use the risk weight or percentage set in accordance with Article 124(9). The remaining part of the exposure referred to in the first subparagraph, if any, shall be risk weighted as an exposure to the counterparty that is not secured by commercial immovable property. 2. An exposure as referred to in Article 124(2), point (b)(ii), shall be assigned the risk weight set in accordance with the respective exposure-to-value risk weight bucket in Table 1. For the purposes of this paragraph, where, in accordance with Article 124(9), the competent authority or designated authority, has set a higher risk weight or a lower exposure-to-value percentage than those referred to in this paragraph, institutions shall use the risk weight or percentage set in accordance with Article 124(9).

Where a competent authority of a third country does not publish corresponding loss rates for exposures secured by commercial immovable property situated within the territory of that third country, EBA may publish such information for a third country, provided that valid statistical data, that are statistically representative of the corresponding commercial immovable property market, are available. 4. EBA shall assess the appropriateness of adjusting the treatment of exposures secured by mortgages on commercial immovable property, including IPRE and non-IPRE exposures, taking into account the appropriateness of risk weights and the relative differences in risk of exposures secured by residential property, the differences in risk sensitivity of IPRE exposures secured by residential property referred to in in Article 125(2), Table 1, and IPRE exposures secured by commercial immovable property referred to in Table 1 in this Article and the recommendations of the ESRB on the vulnerabilities in the commercial immovable property sector in the Union. EBA shall submit a report on its findings to the Commission by 31 December 2027. On the basis of the report referred to in the first subparagraph and taking due account of the related internationally agreed standards developed by the BCBS, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal by 31 December 2028.

Article 126a Land acquisition, development and construction exposures 1. An ADC exposure shall be assigned a risk weight of 150 %. 2. ADC exposures to residential property may be assigned a risk weight of 100 %, provided that the institution applies sound origination and monitoring standards which meet the requirements laid down in Articles 74 and 79 of Directive 2013/36/EU and where at least one of the following conditions is met: (a) legally binding pre-sale or pre-lease contracts for which the purchaser or tenant has made a substantial cash deposit which is subject to forfeiture if the contract is terminated or where the financing is ensured in an equivalent manner, or legally binding sale or lease contracts, including where the payment is made by instalments as the construction works progress, amount to a significant portion of total contracts; (b) the obligor has substantial equity at risk, which is represented as an appropriate amount of obligor-contributed equity to the residential property value upon completion. 3.

The 150% risk weight assignment is retained in the after text but is now applied specifically to subordinated debt exposures, with an exception where those exposures are deducted from own funds or subject to the treatment in Article 72e(5), first subparagraph, whereas the before text applied the 150% weight to exposures associated with particularly high risk generally and included a separate paragraph 3 on risk characteristics and EBA guidelines that no longer appears.

Without prejudice to the first subparagraph, point (c), of this paragraph, until 1 July 2027, indirect exposures to credit institutions without an external rating that guarantee mortgage loans until their registration shall be treated for the purposes of that point as exposures to credit institutions that qualify for credit quality step 1, provided that they are short-term exposures assigned to grade A under Article 121 and that the guaranteed mortgage loans will, once registered, be eligible for the preferential treatment pursuant to the first subparagraph, points (d), (e) and (f), of this paragraph.
1a. For the purposes of point (c) of the first subparagraph of paragraph 1, the following shall apply:
(a) for exposures to credit institutions that qualify for credit quality step 1, the exposure shall not exceed 15 % of the nominal … 430 unchanged words … this Regulation, the requirements set out in Article 208 shall be met. The monitoring of property values in accordance with point (a) of Article 208(3) shall be carried out frequently and at least annually for all immovable property and ships.
For the purpose of valuing immovable property, the competent authorities designated pursuant to Article 18(2) of Directive (EU) 2019/2162 may allow that property to be valued at or at less than the market value, or in those Member States that have laid down rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value in statutory or regulatory provisions, at the mortgage lending value of that property, without applying the limits set out in Article 229(1), point (e), of this Regulation.
3a. In addition to being collateralised by the eligible assets listed in paragraph 1 of this Article, covered bonds shall be subject to a minimum level of 5 % of overcollateralisation as defined in point (14) of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2019/2162.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the total nominal amount of all cover assets as defined in point (4) of Article 3 of that Directive shall be at least of the same value as the total nominal amount of outstanding covered bonds (nominal principle), and shall consist of eligible assets as set out in paragraph 1 of this Article.
Member States may set a lower minimum level of overcollateralisation for covered bonds or authorise their competent authorities to set such a level, provided that:
(a) either the calculation of overcollateralisation is based on a formal approach where the underlying risk of the assets is taken into account, or the valuation of the assets is subject to the mortgage lending value; and
(b) the minimum level of overcollateralisation is not lower than 2 %, based on the nominal principle referred to in Article 15(6) and (7) of Directive (EU) 2019/2162.
The assets contributing to a minimum level of overcollateralisation shall not be subject to the limits on exposure size set out in paragraph 1a and shall not count towards those limits.
3b. Eligible assets listed in paragraph 1 of this Article may be included in the cover pool as substitution assets as defined in point (13) of Article 3 of Directive (EU) 2019/2162, subject to the limits on credit quality and exposure size set out in paragraphs 1 and 1a of this Article.

Article 132a
Approaches for calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts of CIUs
1. Where the conditions set out in Article 132(3) are met, institutions that have sufficient information about the individual underlying exposures of a CIU shall look through to those exposures to calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount of the CIU, risk weighting all underlying exposures of the CIU as if they were directly held by those institutions.
2. Where the conditions set out in Article 132(3) are met, institutions that do not have sufficient information about the individual underlying exposures of a CIU to use the look-through approach may calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount of those exposures in accordance with the limits set in the CIU's mandate and relevant law.
Institutions shall carry out the calculations referred to in the first subparagraph under the assumption that the CIU first incurs exposures to the maximum extent allowed under its mandate or relevant law in the exposures attracting the highest own funds requirement and then continues incurring exposures in descending order until the maximum total exposure limit is reached, and that the CIU applies leverage to the maximum extent allowed under its mandate or relevant law, where applicable.
Institutions shall carry out the calculations referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with the methods set out in this Chapter, in Chapter 5, and in Section 3, 4 or 5 of Chapter 6 of this Title.
3. By way of derogation from Article 92(4), point (d) of Article 92(3), (e), institutions that calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount of a CIU's CIU’s exposures in accordance with paragraph 1 or 2 of this Article may calculate the own funds requirement for the credit valuation adjustment risk of derivative exposures of that CIU as an amount equal to 50 % of the own funds requirement for those derivative exposures calculated in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 3, 4 or 5 of Chapter 6 5, of this Title, as applicable.
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, an institution may exclude from the calculation of the own funds requirement for credit valuation adjustment risk derivative exposures which would not be subject to that requirement if they were incurred directly by the institution.
4. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify how institutions shall calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount referred to in paragraph 2 where one or more of the inputs required for that calculation are not available.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 28 March 2020.
Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Paragraph 2 no longer refers to exposures in the form of units or shares in CIUs described in points (g) and (h) of Article 150(1), and instead refers to equity exposures underlying units or shares in CIUs to entities whose credit obligations are assigned a 0% risk weight under the Chapter, including certain publicly sponsored entities, as well as equity exposures referred to in Article 133(5).
The closing reference to applying the treatment in Article 133 is retained, but it now attaches to those equity exposures rather than to the previously described CIU unit or share exposures.

applies from: unchanged
The definition of equity exposures has been substantially rewritten, replacing the two-part description of non-debt subordinated claims and similar debt exposures with a more detailed set of five categories including conditional instruments, Tier 1 items, obligations with deferred or share-based settlement, and debt-equity swap holdings.
A new paragraph excludes certain equity investments that resemble debt or that constitute securitisation exposures from being treated as equity exposures, a carve-out that was not present before.
The flat 100% risk weight and its exceptions have been replaced by a tiered structure assigning 250% as a general rule, 400% for specified unlisted-company investments, 100% for certain permitted legislative-programme exposures, 0% for exposures to central banks, and a floor for debt-equity swap holdings, whereas the earlier text also separately addressed investments in institutions' equity or regulatory capital instruments, which no longer appears in this form.

Article 133 Equity exposures 1. The following exposures shall be considered equity exposures: (a) non-debt exposures conveying a subordinated, residual claim on the assets or income of the issuer; (b) debt exposures and other securities, partnerships, derivatives, or other vehicles, the economic substance of which is similar to the exposures specified in point (a). 2. Equity exposures shall be assigned a risk weight of 100 %, unless they are required to be deducted in accordance with Part Two, assigned a 250 % risk weight in accordance with Article 48(4), assigned a 1250 % risk weight in accordance with Article 89(3) or treated as high risk items in accordance with Article 128. 3.

Article 133 Equity exposures 1. All of the following shall be classified as equity exposures: (a) any exposure that meets all of the following conditions: (i) it is irredeemable in the sense that the return of invested funds can be achieved only by the sale of the investment or sale of the rights to the investment or by the liquidation of the issuer; (ii) it does not embody an obligation on the part of the issuer; (iii) it conveys a residual claim on the assets or income of the issuer; (b) instruments that would qualify as Tier 1 items if issued by an institution; (c) instruments that embody an obligation on the part of the issuer and meet any of the following conditions: (i) the issuer is able to defer the settlement of the obligation indefinitely; (ii) the obligation requires, or permits at the issuer’s discretion, settlement by issuance of a fixed number of the issuer’s equity shares; (iii) the obligation requires, or permits at the issuer’s discretion, settlement by issuance of a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares and, ceteris paribus, any change in the value of the obligation is attributable to, comparable to, and in the same direction as, the change in the value of a fixed number of the issuer’s equity shares; (iv) the holder of the instrument has the option of requiring that the obligation be settled in equity shares, unless one of the following conditions is met: (1) in the case of a traded instrument, the institution has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the instrument is traded on the market more like the debt of the issuer than like its equity; (2) in the case of non-traded instruments, the institution has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the instrument should be treated as a debt position; (d) debt obligations and other securities, partnerships, derivatives or other vehicles structured in such a way that the economic substance is similar to the exposures referred to in points (a), (b) and (c), including liabilities from which the return is linked to that of equities; (e) equity exposures that are recorded as a loan but arise from a debt-equity swap made as part of the orderly realisation or restructuring of the debt. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c)(iii), obligations include those that require or permit settlement by issuance of a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares, for which the change in the monetary value of the obligation is equal to the change in the fair value of a fixed number of equity shares multiplied by a specified factor, where both the factor and the referenced number of shares are fixed. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c)(iv), where one of the conditions laid down in that point is met, the institution may decompose the risks for regulatory purposes, subject to the prior permission of the competent authority. 2. Equity investments shall not be treated as equity exposures in any of the following cases: (a) the equity investments are structured in such a way that their economic substance is similar to the economic substance of debt holdings which do not meet the criteria set out in paragraph 1; (b) the equity investments constitute securitisation exposures. 3. Equity exposures, other than those referred to in paragraphs 4 to 7, shall be assigned a risk weight of 250 %, unless those exposures are required to be deducted or risk weighted in accordance with Part Two. 4. The following equity exposures to unlisted companies shall be assigned a risk weight of 400 %, unless those exposures are required to be deducted or risk weighted in accordance with Part Two: (a) investments for short-term resale purposes; (b) investments in venture capital firms or similar investments which are acquired in anticipation of significant short-term capital gains. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of this paragraph, long-term equity investments, including investments in equities of corporate clients with which the institution has or intends to establish a long-term business relationship and debt-equity swaps for corporate restructuring purposes shall be assigned a risk weight in accordance with paragraph 3 or 5, as applicable. For the purposes of this Article, a long-term equity investment is an equity investment that is held for three years or longer or incurred with the intention to be held for three years or longer as approved by the institution’s senior management. 5. Institutions that have received the prior permission of the competent authorities may assign a risk weight of 100 % to equity exposures incurred under legislative programmes to stimulate specified sectors of the economy, up to the part of such equity exposures that in aggregate does not exceed 10 % of the institutions’ own funds, that comply with all of the following conditions: (a) the legislative programmes provide significant subsidies or guarantees, including by multilateral development banks, public development credit institutions as defined in Article 429a(2) or international organisations, for the investment to the institution; (b) the legislative programmes involve some form of government oversight; (c) the legislative programmes involve restrictions on the equity investment, such as limitations on the size and types of businesses in which the institution is investing, on allowable amounts of ownership interests, on the geographical location and on other relevant factors that limit the potential risk of the investment for the investing institution. 6. Equity exposures to central banks shall be assigned a risk weight of 0 %. 7. An equity holding that is recorded as a loan but that has arisen from a debt-equity swap made as part of the orderly realisation or restructuring of the debt shall not be assigned a risk weight lower than the risk weight that would apply if the equity holding were treated as a debt exposure.

2. Prepayments and accrued income for which an institution is unable to determine the counterparty in accordance with Directive 86/635/EEC, shall be assigned a risk weight of 100 %.
3. Cash items in the process of collection shall be assigned a 20 % risk weight. Cash owned and held by the institution, or in hand transit, and equivalent cash items shall be assigned a 0 % risk weight.
4. Gold bullion held in own vaults or on an allocated basis to the extent backed by bullion liabilities shall be assigned a 0 % risk weight.
5. In the case of asset sale and repurchase agreements and outright forward purchases, the risk weight shall be that assigned to the assets in question and not to the counterparties to the transactions.
6. Where an institution provides credit protection for a number of exposures subject to the condition that the nth default among the exposures shall trigger payment and that this credit event shall terminate the contract, the risk weights of the exposures included in the basket will be aggregated, excluding n-1 exposures, up to a maximum of 1250 % and multiplied by the nominal amount of the protection provided by the credit derivative to obtain the risk-weighted exposure amount. The n-1 exposures to be excluded from the aggregation shall be determined on the basis that they shall include those exposures each of which produces a lower risk-weighted exposure amount than the risk-weighted exposure amount of any of the exposures included in the aggregation.
7. The exposure value for leases shall be the discounted minimum lease payments. Minimum lease payments are the payments over the lease term that the lessee is or can be required to make and any bargain option the exercise of which is reasonably certain. A party other than the lessee may be required to make a payment related to the residual value of a leased property and that payment obligation fulfils the set of conditions in Article 201 regarding the eligibility of protection providers as well as the requirements for recognising other types of guarantees provided in Articles 213 to 215, that payment obligation may be taken into account as unfunded credit protection under Chapter 4. These exposures shall be assigned to the relevant exposure class in accordance with Article 112. When the exposure is a residual value of leased assets, the risk-weighted exposure amounts shall be calculated as follows: 1/t * 100 % * residual value, where t is the greater of 1 and the nearest number of whole years of the lease remaining.

An institution may revoke its nomination of an ECAI. An institution shall substantiate the revocation if there are concrete indications that the intention underlying the revocation is to reduce the capital adequacy requirements. Credit assessments shall not be used selectively. An institution shall use solicited credit assessments. However it may use unsolicited credit assessments if EBA has confirmed that unsolicited credit assessments of an ECAI do not differ in quality from solicited credit assessments of this ECAI. EBA shall refuse or revoke this confirmation in particular if the ECAI has used an unsolicited credit assessment to put pressure on the rated entity to place an order for a credit assessment or other services. In using credit assessment, institutions shall comply with the following requirements:
(a) an institution which decides to use the credit assessments produced by an ECAI for a certain class of items shall use those credit assessments consistently for all exposures belonging to that class;
(b) an institution which decides to use the credit assessments produced by an ECAI shall use them in a continuous and consistent way over time;
(c) an institution shall only use ECAIs credit assessments that take into account all amounts both in principal and in interest owed to it;
(d) where only one credit assessment is available from a nominated ECAI for a rated item, that credit assessment shall be used to determine the risk weight for that item;
(e) where two credit assessments are available from nominated ECAIs and the two correspond to different risk weights for a rated item, the higher risk weight shall be assigned;
(f) where more than two credit assessments are available from nominated ECAIs for a rated item, the two assessments generating the two lowest risk weights shall be referred to. If the two lowest risk weights are different, the higher risk weight shall be assigned. If the two lowest risk weights are the same, that risk weight shall be assigned. assigned;

In paragraph 3(a) and 3(b), the phrase referring to internal models approaches to equity exposures alongside rating systems has been dropped, so those points now refer only to rating systems.
In paragraph 4, the requirement to notify competent authorities of changes now covers changes to rating systems only, no longer mentioning internal models approaches to equity exposures.

(a) the exposures are to individuals;
(b) the exposures are revolving, unsecured, and to the extent they are not drawn immediately and unconditionally, cancellable by the institution. In this context revolving exposures are defined as those where customers' outstanding balances are permitted to fluctuate based on their decisions to borrow and repay, up to a limit established by the institution. Undrawn commitments may be considered as unconditionally cancellable if the terms permit the institution to cancel them to the full extent allowable under consumer protection and related legislation;

(b) the purchased receivables shall be generated on an arm's-length basis between the seller and the obligor. As such, inter-company accounts receivables and receivables subject to contra-accounts between firms that buy and sell to each other are ineligible;
(c) the purchasing institution has a claim on all proceeds from the purchased receivables or a pro-rata interest in the proceeds; and
(d) the portfolio of purchased receivables is sufficiently diversified.
6. For purchased retail receivables, refundable purchase price discounts, collaterals or partial guarantees that provide first loss protection for default losses, dilution losses, or both, may be treated as a first loss protection by the purchaser of the receivables or by the beneficiary of the collateral or of the partial guarantee in accordance with Subsections 2 and 3 of Section 3 of Chapter 5. The seller providing the refundable purchase price discount and the provider of a collateral or a partial guarantee shall treat those as an exposure to a first loss position in accordance with Subsections 2 and 3 of Section 3 of Chapter 5.

Article 159a Non-application of PD, LGD and CCF input floors For the purposes of Chapter 3, and in particular with regard to Articles 160(1), 161(4), 164(4) and 166(8c), where an exposure is covered by an eligible guarantee provided by a central government or central bank or by the ECB, the PD, LGD and CCF input floors shall not apply to the part of the exposure covered by that guarantee. However, the part of the exposure that is not covered by that guarantee shall be subject to the PD, LGD and CCF input floors concerned.

applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 1 no longer sets a flat 0,03% PD floor for corporate and institution exposures generally, but instead sets a 0,05% PD input floor applicable specifically to exposures assigned to the exposure classes referenced in Article 147(2), point (b) or point (c)(i), (ii) or (iii), for use in the risk-weighted exposure amount and expected loss calculations under the specified articles.
A new paragraph 1a introduces a separate 0,03% PD input floor for exposures assigned to the exposure classes referenced in Article 147(2), point (aa)(i) or (ii), for the same calculation purposes.
Paragraph 4 has been rewritten so that recognition of unfunded credit protection in the PD now applies only where an institution uses own LGD estimates under Article 143 for both the protected exposure and comparable direct exposures to the protection provider, and is recognised in accordance with Article 183, removing the prior wording on dilution risk conditions and the eligibility of the seller of purchased receivables and corporate entities as protection providers, with paragraphs 6 and 7 also dropping the references to those seller and corporate-entity eligibility provisions from paragraph 4.

1a. For exposures assigned to the exposure classes referred to in Article 147(2), point (aa)(i) or (ii), for the sole purpose of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and the expected loss amounts of those exposures, the PD value that is used for each exposure as an input of the risk-weighted exposure to a corporate or an institution amounts and expected loss formulae shall not be at least less than the following PD input floor value: 0,03 %.
2. For purchased corporate receivables in respect of which an institution is not able to estimate PDs or an institution's PD estimates do not meet the requirements set out in Section 6, the PDs for these exposures shall be determined in accordance with the following methods:
(a) for senior claims on purchased corporate receivables PD shall be the institutions estimate of EL divided by LGD for these receivables;
(b) for subordinated claims on purchased corporate receivables PD shall be the institution's estimate of EL;
(c) an institution that has received the permission of the competent authority to use own LGD estimates for corporate exposures pursuant to Article 143 and that can decompose its EL estimates for purchased corporate receivables into PDs and LGDs in a manner that the competent authority considers to be reliable, may use the PD estimate that results from this decomposition.
3. The PD of obligors in default shall be 100 %.
4. Institutions For an exposure covered by an unfunded credit protection, an institution using own estimates of LGD under Article 143 for both the exposure that is covered by the unfunded credit protection and for comparable direct exposures to the protection provider may take into account recognise the unfunded credit protection in the PD in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 4. For dilution risk, in addition to the protection providers referred to in Article 201(1)(g) the seller of the purchased receivables is eligible if the following conditions are met:
(a) the corporate entity has a credit assessment by an ECAI which has been determined by EBA to be associated with credit quality step 3 or above under the rules for the risk weighting of exposures to corporates under Chapter 2;
(b) the corporate entity, in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts under the IRB Approach, does not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI and is internally rated as having a PD equivalent to that associated with the credit assessments of ECAIs determined by EBA to be associated with credit quality step 3 or above under the rules for the risk weighting of exposures to corporates under Chapter 2. 183.
5. Institutions using own LGD estimates may recognise unfunded credit protection by adjusting PDs subject to Article 161(3).
6. For dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables, PD shall be set equal to the EL estimate estimates of the institution for dilution risk. An institution that has received permission from the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own estimates of LGD estimates for corporate exposures that can decompose its EL estimates for dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables into PDs and LGDs in a manner that the competent authority considers to be reliable, may use the PD estimate estimates that results result from this that decomposition. Institutions may recognise unfunded credit protection in the PD in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 4. For dilution risk, in addition to the protection providers referred to in Article 201(1)(g), the seller of the purchased receivables is eligible provided that the conditions set out in paragraph 4 are met.
7. By way of derogation from Article 201(1)(g), the corporate entities that meet the conditions set out in paragraph 4 are eligible.
An institution that has received the permission of the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own estimates of LGD estimates for dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables, receivables may recognise unfunded credit protection by adjusting PDs subject to Article 161(3).

For the purposes of paragraph 4 of this Article, the LGD input floors in Table 1 in that paragraph for exposures fully secured by eligible funded credit protection shall apply when the value of the funded credit protection, after the application of the volatility adjustments Hc and Hfx concerned in accordance with Article 230, is equal to or exceeds the value of the underlying exposure. For the purposes of paragraph 4 of this Article and for the purposes of the application of the relevant related adjustments, Hc and Hfx, in accordance with Article 230, funded credit protection shall be eligible pursuant to this Chapter. In that case, the type of funded credit protection other physical collateral in Article 230, Table 1, shall be understood as other physical and other eligible collateral. The applicable LGD input floor (LGDfloor) for an exposure partially secured by FCP is calculated as the weighted average of LGDU-floor for the part of the exposure without FCP and LGDS-floor for the fully secured part, as follows: where: LGDU-floor and LGDS-floor are the relevant floor values in Table 1; E, ES, EU and HE are determined in accordance with Article 230. 7. Where an institution that uses own estimates of LGD for a given type of unsecured exposures to corporates and unsecured exposures to regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities is not able to take into account the effect of the funded credit protection securing one of the exposures of that type of exposures in the own estimate of LGD due to lack of data on recoveries for that funded credit protection, the institution shall be permitted to apply the formula set out in Article 230, with the exception that the LGDU in that formula shall be the institution’s own estimate of LGD for unsecured exposures. In that case, the funded credit protection shall be eligible in accordance with Chapter 4 and the institution’s own estimate of LGD used as LGDU shall be calculated based on underlying loss data excluding any recoveries arising from that funded credit protection.

(db) for a master netting agreement including more than one of the transaction types corresponding to point (c), (d) or (da) of this paragraph, M shall be the weighted average remaining maturity of the transactions where M shall be at least the longest holding period, expressed in years, applicable to such transactions as provided for in Article 224(2), either 10 days or 20 days, depending on the cases; the notional amount of each transaction shall be used for weighting the maturity;
(e) an institution that has received the permission of the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own PD estimates for purchased corporate receivables, for drawn amounts M shall equal the purchased receivables exposure weighted average maturity, where M shall be at least 90 days. This same value of M shall also be used for undrawn amounts under a committed purchase facility provided that the facility contains effective covenants, early amortisation triggers, or other features that protect the purchasing institution against a significant deterioration in the quality of the future receivables it is required to purchase over the facility's term.

Based on the data collected under Article 430a and on any other relevant indicators, and taking into account forward-looking immovable property market developments the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 5 of this Article shall periodically, and at least annually, assess whether the minimum LGD input floor values referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article, Article are appropriate for retail exposures secured by mortgages on residential property or other retail exposures secured by residential property or commercial immovable property located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of the relevant that authority.
Where, on the basis of the assessment referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph, the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 5 concludes that the minimum LGD input floor values referred to in paragraph 4 are not adequate, and if it considers that the inadequacy of LGD input floor values could adversely affect current or future financial stability in its Member State, it may set higher minimum LGD input floor values for those exposures located in one or more parts of the territory of the Member State of the relevant that authority. Those higher minimum LGD input floor values may also be applied at the level of one or more property segments of such exposures.
The authority designated in accordance with paragraph 5 shall notify EBA and the ESRB before making the decision referred to in the second subparagraph of this paragraph. Within one month of receipt of that notification notification, EBA and the ESRB shall provide their opinion to the Member State concerned. EBA and the ESRB shall publish those the higher LGD values. input floor values referred to in the second subparagraph of this paragraph.
7. Where the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 5 sets higher minimum LGD input floor values pursuant to paragraph 6, institutions shall have a six-month transitional period to apply them.
8. EBA, in close cooperation with the ESRB, shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the conditions that the authority designated in accordance with paragraph 5 shall take into account when assessing the appropriateness of LGD values as part of the assessment referred to in paragraph 6.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2019.
Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Exposures to corporates, institutions, central governments and central banks banks, regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities and retail exposures
1. Unless noted otherwise, the exposure value of on-balance sheet exposures shall be the accounting value measured without taking into account any credit risk adjustments made.
This rule also applies to assets purchased at a price different than the … 378 unchanged words … commodities, as set out therein. The exposure value of repurchase transactions, securities or commodities lending or borrowing transactions, long settlement transactions and margin lending transactions may be determined either in accordance with Chapter 6 or Article 220(2).
8. The exposure value for the following of off-balance-sheet items which are not contracts as listed in Annex II shall be calculated by using either IRB-CCF or SA-CCFs, in accordance with paragraphs 8a and 8b of this Article and Article 151(8).
Where only the drawn balances of revolving facilities have been securitised, institutions shall ensure that they continue to hold the required amount of own funds against the undrawn balances associated with the securitisation.
An institution that has not received permission to use IRB-CCF shall calculate the exposure value as the committed but undrawn amount multiplied by the SA-CCF concerned.
An institution that uses IRB-CCF shall calculate the exposure value for undrawn commitments as the undrawn amount multiplied by IRB-CCF.
8a. For an exposure for which an institution has not received permission to use IRB-CCF, the applicable CCF shall be the SA-CCF as provided for in Chapter 2 for the same types of items as laid down in Article 111. The amount to which the SA-CCF is to be applied shall be the lower of the value of the committed but undrawn amount and the value that reflects any possible constraining of the availability of the facility, including the existence of an upper limit on the potential lending amount which is related to an obligor’s reported cash flow. Where a conversion factor. Institutions shall use the following conversion factors facility is constrained in accordance with Article 151(8) for exposures to corporates, institutions, central governments and central banks:
(a) for credit lines that are unconditionally cancellable at any time by way, the institution without prior notice, or shall have sufficient line monitoring and management procedures to support the existence of that effectively provide for automatic cancellation due to deterioration in a borrower's creditworthiness, a conversion factor of 0 % shall apply. To apply a conversion factor of 0 %, institutions shall actively monitor the financial condition of the obligor, and their internal control systems shall enable them to immediately detect deterioration in the credit quality of the obligor. Undrawn credit lines may be considered as unconditionally cancellable if the terms permit the institution to cancel them constraining.
8b. Subject to the full extent allowable under consumer protection and related legislation;
(b) for short-term letters permission of credit arising from the movement of goods, a conversion factor of 20 % shall apply for both the issuing and confirming institutions;
(c) for undrawn purchase commitments for revolving purchased receivables competent authorities, institutions that are able to be unconditionally cancelled or that effectively provide for automatic cancellation at any time by the institution without prior notice, a conversion factor of 0 % shall apply. To apply a conversion factor of 0 %, institutions shall actively monitor the financial condition of the obligor, and their internal control systems shall enable them to immediately detect a deterioration in the credit quality of the obligor;
(d) for other credit lines, note issuance facilities (NIFs), and revolving underwriting facilities (RUFs), a conversion factor of 75 % shall apply.
Institutions which meet the requirements for the use of own estimates of conversion factors IRB-CCF as specified in Section 6 may shall use their own estimates IRB-CCF for exposures arising from undrawn revolving commitments treated under the IRB Approach provided that those exposures would not be subject to a SA-CCF of conversion factors across different product types 100 % under the Standardised Approach. SA-CCFs shall be used for:
(a) all other off-balance-sheet items, in particular undrawn non-revolving commitments;
(b) exposures where the minimum requirements for calculating IRB-CCF as mentioned specified in Section 6 are not met by the institution or where the competent authority has not permitted the use of IRB-CCF.
For the purposes of this Article, a commitment shall be deemed revolving where it lets an obligor obtain a loan where the obligor has the flexibility to decide how often to withdraw from the loan and at what intervals, allowing the obligor to drawdown, repay and redraw loans advanced to it. Contractual arrangements that allow prepayments and subsequent redraws of those prepayments shall be considered revolving.
8c. Where IRB-CCF are used for the sole purpose of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts of exposures arising from revolving commitments other than exposures assigned to the exposure class in accordance with Article 147(2), point (a), in particular pursuant to Article 153(1), Article 157 and Article 158(1), (5) and (10), the exposure value for each exposure used as an input of the risk-weighted exposure amount and expected loss formulae shall not be less than the sum of:
(a) the drawn amount of the revolving commitment;
(b) 50 % of the off-balance exposure amount of the remaining undrawn part of the revolving commitment calculated using the applicable SA-CCF provided for in Article 111.

Article 171 Assignment to grades or pools 1. An institution shall have specific definitions, processes and criteria for assigning exposures to grades or pools within a rating system that comply with the following requirements: (a) the grade or pool definitions and criteria shall be sufficiently detailed to allow those charged with assigning ratings to consistently assign obligors or facilities posing similar risk to the same grade or pool. This consistency shall exist across lines of business, departments and geographic locations; (b) the documentation of the rating process shall allow third parties to understand the assignments of exposures to grades or pools, to replicate grade and pool assignments and to evaluate the appropriateness of the assignments to a grade or a pool; (c) the criteria shall also be consistent with the institution's internal lending standards and its policies for handling troubled obligors and facilities. 2. An institution shall take all relevant information into account in assigning obligors and facilities to grades or pools. Information shall be current and shall enable the institution to forecast the future performance of the exposure. The less information an institution has, the more conservative shall be its assignments of exposures to obligor and facility grades or pools. If an institution uses an external rating as a primary factor determining an internal rating assignment, the institution shall ensure that it considers other relevant information.3. Institutions shall use a time horizon longer than one year in assigning ratings. An obligor rating shall represent the institution’s assessment of the obligor’s ability and willingness to contractually perform despite adverse economic conditions or the occurrence of unexpected events.

1. For exposures to corporates, institutions and central governments and central banks, exposures to regional governments, local authorities and for equity public sector entities, exposures where an institution uses to institutions and exposures to corporates, the PD/LGD approach set out in Article 155(3), assignment of exposures shall be carried out in accordance with the following criteria:
(a) each obligor shall be assigned to an obligor grade as part of the credit approval process;
(b) for those exposures for which an institution has received the permission of the competent authority to use own estimates of LGDs and conversion factors pursuant to Article 143, each exposure shall also be assigned to a facility grade as part of the credit approval process;
(c) institutions using the methods set out in Article 153(5) for assigning risk weights for specialised lending exposures shall assign each of these exposures to a grade in accordance with Article 170(2);
(d) each separate legal entity to which the institution is exposed shall be separately rated. An institution shall have appropriate policies regarding the treatment of individual obligor clients and groups of connected clients; rated;
(e) separate exposures to the same obligor shall be assigned to the same obligor grade, irrespective of any differences in the nature of each specific transaction. However, where separate exposures are allowed to result in multiple grades for the same obligor, the following shall apply:
(i) country transfer risk, this being dependent on whether the exposures are denominated in local or foreign currency;
(ii) the treatment of associated guarantees to an exposure may be reflected in an adjusted assignment to an obligor grade;
(iii) consumer protection, bank secrecy or other legislation prohibit the exchange of client data.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (d), an institution shall have appropriate policies for the treatment of individual obligor clients and groups of connected clients. Those policies shall contain a process for the identification of Specific Wrong-Way risk for each legal entity to which the institution is exposed.
For the purposes of Chapter 6, transactions with counterparties where a Specific Wrong-Way risk has been identified shall be treated differently when calculating their exposure value.
2. For retail exposures, each exposure shall be assigned to a grade or a pool as part of the credit approval process.
3. For grade and pool assignments institutions shall document the situations in which human judgement may override the inputs or outputs of the assignment process and the personnel responsible for approving these overrides. Institutions shall document these overrides and note down the personnel responsible. Institutions shall analyse the performance of the exposures whose assignments have been overridden. This analysis shall include an assessment of the performance of exposures whose rating has been overridden by a particular person, accounting for all the responsible personnel.

The scenarios used under paragraph 2 shall also include ESG risk drivers, in particular physical risk and transition risk drivers stemming from climate change. EBA shall issue guidelines, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, on the application of paragraph 2 and 2a. 3. Institutions using the treatment set out in Article 153(3) shall consider as part of their stress testing framework the impact of a deterioration in the credit quality of protection providers, in particular the impact of protection providers falling outside the eligibility criteria.
MODIFIED +100 −488 Art. 178 Default of an obligor or credit facility§
applies from: unchanged
The heading now reads "Default of an obligor or credit facility" rather than "Default of an obligor".
In paragraph 1(1)(b), the sentences allowing competent authorities to replace the 90-day threshold with 180 days for certain retail, SME commercial immovable property and public sector exposures, and the accompanying carve-out for points (m) of Article 36(1) and Article 127, have been removed, leaving only the 90-days-past-due criterion.
In paragraph 3(1)(d), the reference to consenting to a "distressed restructuring" of the credit obligation, including for equity exposures under a PD/LGD Approach, has been replaced with a reference to consenting to a "forbearance measure as referred to in Article 47b", and the equity exposures clause has been removed.

Article 178
Default of an obligor
or credit facility
1. A default shall be considered to have occurred with regard to a particular obligor when either or both of the following have taken place:
(a) the institution considers that the obligor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the institution, the parent undertaking or any of its subsidiaries in full, without recourse by the institution to actions such as realising security;
(b) the obligor is more than 90 days past due on any material credit obligation to the institution, the parent undertaking or any of its subsidiaries. Competent authorities may replace the 90 days with 180 days for exposures secured by residential property or SME commercial immovable property in the retail exposure class, as well as exposures to public sector entities. The 180 days shall not apply for the purposes of point (m) Article 36(1) or Article 127.
In the case of retail exposures, institutions may apply the definition of default laid down in points (a) and (b) of the first subparagraph at the level of an individual credit facility rather than in relation to the total obligations of a borrower.
2. The following shall apply for the purposes of point (b) of paragraph 1:
(a) for overdrafts, days past due commence once an obligor has breached an advised limit, has been advised a limit smaller than current outstandings, or has drawn credit without authorisation and the underlying amount is material;
(b) for the purposes of point (a), an advised limit comprises any credit limit determined by the institution and about which the obligor has been informed by the institution;
(c) days past due for credit cards commence on the minimum payment due date;
(d) materiality of a credit obligation past due shall be assessed against a threshold, defined by the competent authorities. This threshold shall reflect a level of risk that the competent authority considers to be reasonable;
(e) institutions shall have documented policies in respect of the counting of days past due, in particular in respect of the re-ageing of the facilities and the granting of extensions, amendments or deferrals, renewals, and netting of existing accounts. These policies shall be applied consistently over time, and shall be in line with the internal risk management and decision processes of the institution.
3. For the purpose of point (a) of paragraph 1, elements to be taken as indications of unlikeliness to pay shall include the following:
(a) the institution puts the credit obligation on non-accrued status;
(b) the institution recognises a specific credit adjustment resulting from a significant perceived decline in credit quality subsequent to the institution taking on the exposure;
(c) the institution sells the credit obligation at a material credit-related economic loss;
(d) the institution consents to a distressed restructuring forbearance measure as referred to in Article 47b of the credit obligation where this that measure is likely to result in a diminished financial obligation caused by due to the material forgiveness, or postponement, of principal, interest or, where relevant fees. This includes, in the case of equity exposures assessed under a PD/LGD Approach, distressed restructuring of the equity itself; relevant, fees;
(e) the institution has filed for the obligor's bankruptcy or a similar order in respect of an obligor's credit obligation to the institution, the parent undertaking or any of its subsidiaries;
(f) the obligor has sought or has been placed in bankruptcy or similar protection where this would avoid or delay repayment of a credit obligation to the institution, the parent undertaking or any of its subsidiaries.
4. Institutions that use external data that is not itself consistent with the definition of default laid down in paragraph 1, shall make appropriate adjustments to achieve broad equivalence with the definition of default.
5. If the institution considers that a previously defaulted exposure is such that no trigger of default continues to apply, the institution shall rate the obligor or facility as they would for a non-defaulted exposure. Where the definition of default is subsequently triggered, another default would be deemed to have occurred.
6. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the conditions according to which a competent authority shall set the threshold referred to in paragraph 2(d).
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2014.
Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
7. EBA shall issue guidelines on the application of this Article. Those guidelines shall be adopted in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
By 10 July 2025, EBA shall issue guidelines, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, to update the guidelines referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph. In particular, that update shall take due account of the necessity to encourage institutions to engage in proactive, preventive and meaningful debt restructuring to support obligors.
In developing those guidelines, EBA shall duly consider the need for granting a sufficient flexibility to institutions when specifying what constitutes a diminished financial obligation for the purposes of paragraph 3, point (d).
MODIFIED +175 −13 Art. 179 Overall requirements for estimation§
applies from: unchanged
Point (f) now requires an institution to include appropriate adjustments in its estimates to overcome biases, to the extent possible, before adding a margin of conservatism.

Article 179
Overall requirements for estimation
1. In quantifying the risk parameters to be associated with rating grades or pools, institutions shall apply the following requirements:
(a) an institution's own estimates of the risk parameters PD, LGD, conversion factor and EL shall incorporate all relevant data, information and methods. The estimates shall be derived using both historical experience and empirical evidence, and not based purely on judgemental considerations. The estimates shall be plausible and intuitive and shall be based on the material drivers of the respective risk parameters. The less data an institution has, the more conservative it shall be in its estimation;
(b) an institution shall be able to provide a breakdown of its loss experience in terms of default frequency, LGD, conversion factor, or loss where EL estimates are used, by the factors it sees as the drivers of the respective risk parameters. The institution's estimates shall be representative of long run experience;
(c) any changes in lending practice or the process for pursuing recoveries over the observation periods referred to in Article 180(1)(h) and (2)(e), Article 181(1)(j) and (2), and Article 182(2) and (3) shall be taken into account. An institution's estimates shall reflect the implications of technical advances and new data and other information, as it becomes available. Institutions shall review their estimates when new information comes to light but at least on an annual basis;
(d) the population of exposures represented in the data used for estimation, the lending standards used when the data was generated and other relevant characteristics shall be comparable with those of the institution's exposures and standards. The economic or market conditions that underlie the data shall be relevant to current and foreseeable conditions. The number of exposures in the sample and the data period used for quantification shall be sufficient to provide the institution with confidence in the accuracy and robustness of its estimates;
(e) for purchased receivables the estimates shall reflect all relevant information available to the purchasing institution regarding the quality of the underlying receivables, including data for similar pools provided by the seller, by the purchasing institution, or by external sources. The purchasing institution shall evaluate any data relied upon which is provided by the seller;
(f) to overcome biases, an institution shall include appropriate adjustments in its estimates to the extent possible; after having included an appropriate adjustment, it shall add to its estimates a sufficient margin of conservatism that is related to the expected range of estimation errors. Where errors; where methods and data are considered to be less satisfactory, the expected range of errors is larger, and the margin of conservatism shall be larger.
Where institutions use different estimates for the calculation of risk weights and for internal purposes, it shall be documented and be reasonable. If institutions can demonstrate to their competent authorities that for data that have been collected prior to 1 January 2007 appropriate adjustments have been made to achieve broad equivalence with the definition of default laid down in Article 178 or with loss, competent authorities may permit the institutions some flexibility in the application of the required standards for data.
2. Where an institution uses data that is pooled across institutions it shall meet the following requirements:
(a) the rating systems and criteria of other institutions in the pool are similar to its own;
(b) the pool is representative of the portfolio for which the pooled data is used;
(c) the pooled data is used consistently over time by the institution for its estimates;
(d) the institution shall remain responsible for the integrity of its rating systems;
(e) the institution shall maintain sufficient in-house understanding of its rating systems, including the ability to effectively monitor and audit the rating process.
MODIFIED +1,856 −829 Art. 180 Requirements specific to PD estimation§
applies from: unchanged
The scope of paragraph 1 now lists exposures to central governments and central banks, regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities, institutions, and corporates, replacing the earlier reference to corporates, institutions, central governments and central banks and equity exposures under the PD/LGD approach.
Point (e) now refers to current underwriting standards and adds wording about an appropriate adjustment and a margin of conservatism related to the expected range of estimation errors not already covered by that adjustment, and point (h) drops the prior text on longer observation periods and the two-year data transition for LGD or conversion factor estimates, moving related content into a new closing subparagraph and adding a new point (i) requiring PD estimation as a count-weighted arithmetic average of historical default rates with a bar on exposure-weighted averages.
In paragraph 2, point (a) now covers PD estimation by obligor or facility grade or pool, with facility-level default rates tied to the definition of default under Article 178(1), and point (e) removes its detailed language on longer observation periods, materiality of recent data, and the two-year transition period, which is instead placed in new closing subparagraphs referencing points (a) and (e) and describing a representative mix of good and bad economic years.

Article 180
Requirements specific to PD estimation
1. In quantifying the risk parameters to be associated with rating grades or pools, institutions shall apply the following requirements specific to PD estimation to exposures to corporates, institutions and central governments and central banks banks, exposures to regional governments, local authorities and for equity public sector entities, exposures where an institution uses the PD/LGD approach set out in Article 155(3): to institutions and exposures to corporates:
(a) institutions shall estimate PDs by obligor grade from long run averages of one-year default rates. PD estimates for obligors that are highly leveraged or for obligors whose assets are predominantly traded assets shall reflect the performance of the underlying assets based on periods of stressed volatilities;
(b) for purchased corporate receivables institutions may estimate the EL by obligor grade from long run averages of one-year realised default rates;
(c) if an institution derives long run average estimates of PDs and LGDs for purchased corporate receivables from an estimate of EL, and an appropriate estimate of PD or LGD, the process for estimating total losses shall meet the overall standards for estimation of PD and LGD set out in this part, and the outcome shall be consistent with the concept of LGD as set out in Article 181(1)(a);
(d) institutions shall use PD estimation techniques only with supporting analysis. Institutions shall recognise the importance of judgmental considerations in combining results of techniques and in making adjustments for limitations of techniques and information;
(e) to the extent that an institution uses data on internal default experience for the estimation of PDs, the estimates shall be reflective of current underwriting standards and of any differences in the rating system that generated the data and the current rating system. Where system; where underwriting standards or rating systems have changed, after including an appropriate adjustment, the institution shall add a greater margin of conservatism in its estimate of PD; PD related to the expected range of estimation errors that is not already covered by the appropriate adjustment;
(f) to the extent that an institution associates or maps its internal grades to the scale used by an ECAI or similar organisations and then attributes the default rate observed for the external organisation's grades to the institution's grades, mappings shall be based on a comparison of internal rating criteria to the criteria used by the external organisation and on a comparison of the internal and external ratings of any common obligors. Biases or inconsistencies in the mapping approach or underlying data shall be avoided. The criteria of the external organisation underlying the data used for quantification shall be oriented to default risk only and not reflect transaction characteristics. The analysis undertaken by the institution shall include a comparison of the default definitions used, subject to the requirements in Article 178. The institution shall document the basis for the mapping;
(g) to the extent that an institution uses statistical default prediction models it is allowed to estimate PDs as the simple average of default-probability estimates for individual obligors in a given grade. The institution's use of default probability models for this purpose shall meet the standards specified in Article 174;
(h) irrespective of whether an institution is using external, internal, or pooled data sources, or a combination of the three, for its PD estimation, the length of the underlying historical observation period used shall be at least five years for at least one source. If source;
(i) irrespective of the method used to estimate PD, institutions shall estimate a PD for each rating grade based on the observed historical average one-year default rate that is an arithmetic average based on the number of obligors (count weighted); other approaches, including exposure-weighted averages, shall not be permitted.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (h), of this paragraph where the available observation period spans a longer period for any source, and this where those data is are relevant, this that longer period shall be used. This point also applies to The data shall include a representative mix of good and bad years of the PD/LGD Approach to equity. economic cycle relevant for the type of exposures. Subject to the permission of competent authorities, institutions which have not received the permission of the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own estimates of LGDs LGD or conversion factors to use IRB-CCF, may use, when they implement the IRB Approach, relevant data covering a period of two years. The period to be covered shall increase be increased by one year each year until relevant data cover a period of at least five years.
2. For retail exposures, the following requirements shall apply:
(a) institutions shall estimate PDs by obligor or facility grade or pool from long run averages of one-year default rates; rates, and default rates shall be calculated at facility level only where the definition of default is applied at individual credit facility level pursuant to Article 178(1), second subparagraph;
(b) PD estimates may also be derived from an estimate of total losses and appropriate estimates of LGDs;
(c) institutions shall regard internal data for assigning exposures to grades or pools as the primary source of information for estimating loss characteristics. Institutions may use external data (including pooled data) or statistical models for quantification provided that the following strong links both exist:
(i) between the institution's process of assigning exposures to grades or pools and the process used by the external data source; and
(ii) between the institution's internal risk profile and the composition of the external data;
(d) if an institution derives long run average estimates of PD and LGD for retail exposures from an estimate of total losses and an appropriate estimate of PD or LGD, the process for estimating total losses shall meet the overall standards for estimation of PD and LGD set out in this part, and the outcome shall be consistent with the concept of LGD as set out in point (a) of Article 181(1);
(e) irrespective of whether an institution is using external, internal or pooled data sources sources, or a combination of the three, for their estimation of loss characteristics, its PD estimation, the length of the underlying historical observation period used shall be at least five years for at least one source. If the available observation spans a longer period for any source, and these data are relevant, this longer period shall be used. An institution need not give equal importance to historic data if more recent data is a better predictor of loss rates. Subject to the permission of the competent authorities, institutions may use, when they implement the IRB Approach, relevant data covering a period of two years. The period to be covered shall increase by one year each year until relevant data cover a period of five years; source;
(f) institutions shall identify and analyse expected changes of risk parameters over the life of credit exposures (seasoning effects).
For purchased retail receivables, institutions may use external and internal reference data. Institutions shall use all relevant data sources as points of comparison.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), the PD shall be based on the observed historical average one-year default rate.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (e), where the available observation spans a longer period for any source, and where those data are relevant, that longer period shall be used. The data shall include a representative mix of good and bad years of the economic cycle relevant for the type of exposures. Subject to the permission of the competent authorities, institutions may use, when they implement the IRB Approach, relevant data covering a period of two years. The period to be covered shall be increased by one year each year until relevant data cover at least five years.

Article 181
Requirements specific to own-LGD estimates
1. In quantifying the risk parameters to be associated with rating grades or pools, institutions shall apply the following requirements specific to own-LGD estimates:
(a) institutions shall estimate LGDs by facility grade or pool on the basis of the average realised LGDs by facility grade or pool using all observed defaults within the data sources (default weighted average);
(b) institutions shall use LGD estimates that are appropriate for an economic downturn if those are more conservative than the long-run average. To the extent a rating system is expected to deliver realised LGDs at a constant level by grade or pool over time, institutions shall make adjustments to their estimates of risk parameters by grade or pool to limit the capital impact of an economic downturn;
(c) an institution shall consider the extent of any dependence between between, on the one hand, the risk of the obligor and and, on the other hand, that of the collateral funded credit protection, other than master netting agreements and on-balance-sheet netting of loans and deposits, or collateral provider. Cases where there is a significant degree of dependence shall be addressed in a conservative manner; its provider;
(d) currency mismatches between the underlying obligation and the collateral funded credit protection other than master netting agreements and on-balance-sheet netting of loans and deposits shall be treated conservatively in the institution's institution’s assessment of LGD;
(e) to the extent that LGD estimates take into account the existence of collateral, these funded credit protection other than master netting agreements and on-balance-sheet netting of loans and deposits, those estimates shall not solely be based on the collateral's estimated market value. LGD estimates shall take into account the effect value of the potential inability of institutions to expeditiously gain control of their collateral and liquidate it; funded credit protection;
(f) to the extent that LGD estimates take into account the existence of collateral, funded credit protection other than master netting agreements and on-balance-sheet netting of loans and deposits, institutions shall establish internal requirements for collateral the management, legal certainty and risk management of that are funded credit protection, and those requirements shall be generally consistent with those set out in Chapter 4, Section 3; 3, Sub-section 1;
(g) to the extent that an institution recognises collateral funded credit protection other than master netting agreements and on-balance-sheet netting of loans and deposits for determining the exposure value for counterparty credit risk in accordance with Chapter 6, Section 5 or 6, any amount expected to be recovered from the collateral that funded credit protection shall not be taken into account in the LGD estimates;
(h) for the specific case of exposures already in default, the institution shall use the sum of its best estimate of expected loss for each exposure given current economic circumstances and exposure status and its estimate of the increase of loss rate caused by possible additional unexpected losses during the recovery period, i.e. between date of default and final liquidation of the exposure;
(i) to the extent that unpaid fees for late fees payments, imposed on the obligor before the time of default, have been capitalised in the institution's institution’s income statement, they shall be added to the institution's measure of exposure and loss;
(j) for exposures to corporates, institutions and institutions, central governments and central banks, and regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities, estimates of LGD shall be based on data over a minimum of five years, increasing by one year each year after implementation until a minimum of seven years is reached, for at least one data source. If source, if the available observation period spans a longer period for any source, and the data is are relevant, this that longer period shall be used.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), of this paragraph institutions shall adequately take into account recoveries realised in the course of the relevant recovery processes from any type of funded credit protection as well as from unfunded credit protection not falling under the definition in Article 142(1), point (10).
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), cases where there is a significant degree of dependence shall be addressed in a conservative manner.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (e), LGD estimates shall take into account the effect of the potential inability of institutions to expeditiously gain control of their collateral and liquidate it.
2. For retail exposures, institutions may do the following:
(a) derive LGD estimates from realised losses and appropriate estimates of PDs;
(b) reflect future drawings either in their conversion factors or in their LGD estimates;
(c) For purchased retail receivables use external and internal reference data to estimate LGDs.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (b), where institutions include future additional drawings in their conversion factors, those should be taken into account in the LGD in both the numerator and the denominator. Where institutions do not include future additional drawings in their conversion factors, those should be taken into account in the LGD numerator only.
For retail exposures, estimates of LGD shall be based on data over a minimum of five years. An institution need not give equal importance to historic data if more recent data is a better predictor of loss rates. Subject to the permission of the competent authorities, institutions may use, when they implement the IRB Approach, relevant data covering a period of two years. The period to be covered shall increase be increased by one year each year until relevant data cover a period of at least five years.
3. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the following:
(a) the nature, severity and duration of an economic downturn referred to in paragraph 1;
(b) the conditions according to which a competent authority may permit an institution pursuant to paragraph 2 to use relevant data covering a period of two years when the institution implements the IRB Approach.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2014.
Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
4. EBA shall issue guidelines, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, to clarify the treatment of any type of funded credit protection and unfunded credit protection for the purposes of paragraph 1, point (a), of this Article and for the purposes of the application of the LGD parameters.
5. For the purpose of calculating loss, EBA shall, by 31 December 2025, issue updated guidelines, in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, on the following:
(a) with regard to cases that return to non-defaulted status, specifying how artificial cash flow is to be treated and whether it is more appropriate for institutions to discount the artificial cash flow over the actual period of default;
(b) assessing whether the calibration and application of the discount rate is appropriate for the calculation of economic loss across all exposures.

Article 182
Requirements specific to own-conversion factor estimates
1. In quantifying the risk parameters to be associated with rating grades or pools, institutions shall apply the following requirements specific to own-conversion factor estimates:
(a) institutions shall estimate conversion factors by facility grade or pool on the basis of the average realised conversion factors by facility grade or pool using the default weighted average resulting from all observed defaults within the data sources;
(b) institutions shall use conversion factor estimates that are appropriate for an economic downturn if those are more conservative than the long-run average. To the extent a rating system is expected to deliver realised conversion factors at a constant level by grade or pool over time, institutions shall make adjustments to their estimates of risk parameters by grade or pool to limit the capital impact of an economic downturn;
(c) institutions' estimates of conversion factors institutions’ IRB-CCF shall reflect the possibility of additional drawings by the obligor up to and after the time a default event is triggered. The conversion factor estimate shall incorporate a larger margin of conservatism where a stronger positive correlation can reasonably be expected between the default frequency and the magnitude of conversion factor; triggered;
(d) in arriving at estimates of conversion factors institutions shall consider their specific policies and strategies adopted in respect of account monitoring and payment processing. Institutions shall also consider their ability and willingness to prevent further drawings in circumstances short of payment default, such as covenant violations or other technical default events;
(e) institutions shall have adequate systems and procedures in place to monitor facility amounts, current outstandings against committed lines and changes in outstandings per obligor and per grade. The institution shall be able to monitor outstanding balances on a daily basis;
(f) if institutions use different estimates of conversion factors for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts and internal purposes it shall be documented and be reasonable. reasonable;
(g) institutions’ IRB-CCF shall be estimated using a 12-month fixed-horizon approach;
(h) institutions’ IRB-CCF shall be based on reference data that reflect the obligor, facility and bank management practice characteristics of the exposures to which the estimates are applied.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), where institutions observe a negative realised conversion factor on their default observations, the realised conversion factor on those observations shall be equal to zero for the purpose of quantification of their IRB-CCF. Institutions may use the information of the negative realised conversion factor in the process of model development for the purpose of risk differentiation.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), IRB-CCF shall incorporate a greater margin of conservatism where a stronger positive correlation can reasonably be expected between the default frequency and the magnitude of the conversion factor.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (g), each default shall be linked to relevant obligor and facility characteristics at the fixed reference date defined as 12 months prior to the date of default.
1a. For the purposes of paragraph 1, point (h), IRB-CCF applied to particular exposures shall not be based on data that comingle the effects of disparate characteristics or data from exposures that exhibit materially different risk characteristics. IRB-CCF shall be based on appropriately homogenous segments. For that purpose, the following practices shall only be allowed on the basis of a detailed scrutiny and justification by an institution:
(a) SME/mid-market underlying data being applied to large corporate obligors;
(b) data from commitments with a small unused limit availability being applied to facilities with a large unused limit availability;
(c) data from delinquent obligors or blocked for further drawdowns at the reference date being applied to obligors with no known delinquency or relevant restrictions;
(d) data that have been affected by changes in the obligors’ mix of borrowing and other credit-related products over the observation period unless those data have been effectively adjusted by removing the effects of the changes in the product mix.
1b. For the purposes of paragraph 1a, point (d), institutions shall demonstrate to the competent authorities that they have a detailed understanding of the impact of changes in customer product mix on the exposures reference data sets and associated IRB-CCF, and that the impact is immaterial or has been effectively mitigated within their estimation process. In that regard, the following shall not be deemed appropriate:
(a) setting floors or caps to CCF or exposure value observations, with the exception of the realised conversion factor equal to zero, in accordance with paragraph 1, second subparagraph;
(b) using obligor-level estimates that do not fully cover the relevant product transformation options or that inappropriately combine products with very different characteristics;
(c) adjusting only material observations affected by product transformation;
(d) excluding observations affected by product profile transformation.
1c. Institutions shall ensure that their IRB-CCF are effectively quarantined from the potential effects of region of instability caused by a facility being close to being fully drawn at the reference date.

If the available observation period spans a longer period for any source, and the data is are relevant, this that longer period shall be used.
3. For retail exposures, institutions may reflect future drawings either in their conversion factors or in their LGD estimates.
For retail exposures, estimates of conversion factors shall be based on data over a minimum of five years. By way of derogation from point (a) of paragraph 1, an institution need not give equal importance to historic data if more recent data is a better predictor of draw downs. Subject to the permission of competent authorities, institutions may use, when they implement the IRB Approach, relevant data covering a period of two years. The period to be covered shall increase be increased by one year each year until relevant data cover a period of at least five years.

applies from: unchanged
The heading is broadened from covering guarantees and credit derivatives for corporates, institutions and central governments/central banks to covering unfunded credit protection for central governments and central banks, regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities, and corporates.
Point (c) now adds a requirement that the guarantee be non-changeable as well as non-cancellable and drops the sentence on conditional guarantees, while a new point (d) requires the guarantee to be unconditional, with accompanying text defining an unconditional guarantee and describing when clauses on due diligence, fraud, or workout-first payment do not disqualify it.
A new paragraph 1a sets out two alternative approaches institutions may use to recognise unfunded credit protection, paragraph 3 adds text on first-to-default and nth-to-default credit derivatives, and paragraph 4 is replaced with a provision on a protection-provider-RW-floor tied to Article 236a, all of which were absent from the earlier text.

Requirements for assessing the effect of guarantees and unfunded credit derivatives protection for exposures to corporates, institutions and central governments and central banks banks, exposures to regional governments, local authorities and public sector entities, and exposures to corporates, where own estimates of LGD are used and for retail exposures
1. The following requirements shall apply in relation to eligible guarantors and guarantees:
(a) institutions shall have clearly specified criteria for the types of guarantors they recognise for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts;
(b) for recognised guarantors the same rules as for obligors as set out in Articles 171, 172 and 173 shall apply;
(c) the guarantee shall be evidenced in writing, non-cancellable and non-changeable on the part of the guarantor, in force until the obligation is satisfied in full (to full, to the extent of the amount and tenor of the guarantee) guarantee, and legally enforceable against the guarantor in a jurisdiction where the guarantor has assets to attach and enforce a judgement. Conditional guarantees prescribing conditions under judgement;
(d) the guarantee shall be unconditional.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (d), an unconditional guarantee means a guarantee where the credit protection contract does not contain any clause the fulfilment of which is outside the direct control of the lending institution and that could prevent the guarantor may not be from being obliged to perform may be recognised pay out in a timely manner pursuant to the qualifying default of the obligor or to the non-payment by the original obligor. A clause in the credit protection contract providing that a flawed due diligence or fraud by the lending institution cancels or diminishes the extent of the guarantee offered by the guarantor shall not disqualify that guarantee from being considered unconditional.
Guarantees where the payment by the guarantor is subject to permission the lending institution first having to pursue the obligor and that only cover losses remaining after the institution has completed the workout process shall be considered unconditional.
1a. Institutions may recognise unfunded credit protection by using either the PD/LGD modelling adjustment approach, in accordance with this Article and subject to the requirement set out in paragraph 4 of this Article, or the substitution of risk parameters approach under A-IRB in accordance with Article 236a and subject to the eligibility requirements of Chapter 4. Institutions shall have clear policies for assessing the effects of unfunded credit protection on risk parameters. The policies of the competent authorities. The assignment criteria institutions shall adequately address any potential reduction be consistent with their internal risk management practices and shall reflect the requirements of this Article. Those policies shall clearly specify which of the specific methods described in the risk mitigation effect. this paragraph are used for each rating system, and institutions shall apply those policies consistently over time.
2. An institution shall have clearly specified criteria for adjusting grades, pools or LGD estimates, and, in the case of retail and eligible purchased receivables, the process of allocating exposures to grades or pools, to reflect the impact of guarantees for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts. These criteria shall comply with the requirements set out in Articles 171, 172 and 173.
The criteria shall be plausible and intuitive. They shall address the guarantor's ability and willingness to perform under the guarantee, the likely timing of any payments from the guarantor, the degree to which the guarantor's ability to perform under the guarantee is correlated with the obligor's ability to repay, and the extent to which residual risk to the obligor remains.
3. The requirements for guarantees in this Article shall apply also for single-name credit derivatives. In relation to a mismatch between the underlying obligation and the reference obligation of the credit derivative or the obligation used for determining whether a credit event has occurred, the requirements set out under Article 216(2) shall apply. For retail exposures and eligible purchased receivables, this paragraph applies to the process of allocating exposures to grades or pools.
The criteria shall address the payout structure of the credit derivative and conservatively assess the impact this has on the level and timing of recoveries. The institution shall consider the extent to which other forms of residual risk remain.
4. The requirements set out in paragraphs 1 to 3 First-to-default credit derivatives may be recognised as eligible unfunded credit protection. However, second-to-default and all other nth-to-default credit derivatives shall not apply for guarantees provided be recognised as eligible unfunded credit protection.
4. Where institutions recognise unfunded credit protection by institutions, central governments the PD/LGD modelling adjustment approach, the covered part of the underlying exposure shall not be assigned a risk weight which would be lower than the protection-provider-RW-floor. For that purpose, the protection-provider-RW-floor shall be calculated using the same PD, LGD and central banks, and corporate entities which meet risk weight function as the requirements laid down ones applicable to comparable direct exposure to the protection provider as referred to in Article 201(1)(g) if the institution has received permission to apply the Standardised Approach for exposures to such entities pursuant to Articles 148 and 150. In this case the requirements of Chapter 4 shall apply. 236a.
5. For retail guarantees, the requirements set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall also apply to the assignment of exposures to grades or pools, and the estimation of PD.
6. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the conditions according to which competent authorities may permit conditional guarantees to be recognised.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2014.
Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 193 Principles for recognising the effect of credit risk mitigation techniques 1. No exposure in respect of which an institution obtains credit risk mitigation shall produce a higher risk-weighted exposure amount or expected loss amount than an otherwise identical exposure in respect of which an institution has no credit risk mitigation. 2. Where the risk-weighted exposure amount already takes account of credit protection under Chapter 2 or Chapter 3, as applicable, institutions shall not take into account that credit protection in the calculations under this Chapter. 3. Where the provisions in Sections 2 and 3 are met, institutions may amend the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts under the Standardised Approach and the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts under the IRB Approach in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4, 5 and 6. 4. Institutions shall treat cash, securities or commodities purchased, borrowed or received under a repurchase transaction or securities or commodities lending or borrowing transaction as collateral. 5. Where an institution calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts under the Standardised Approach has more than one form of credit risk mitigation covering a single exposure it shall do both of the following: (a) subdivide the exposure into parts covered by each type of credit risk mitigation tool; (b) calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount for each part obtained in point (a) separately in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2 and this Chapter. 6. When an institution calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts under the Standardised Approach covers a single exposure with credit protection provided by a single protection provider and that protection has differing maturities, it shall do both of the following: (a) subdivide the exposure into parts covered by each credit risk mitigation tool; (b) calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount for each part obtained in point (a) separately in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 2 and this Chapter.7. Collateral that satisfies all eligibility requirements set out in this Chapter can be recognised even for exposures associated with undrawn facilities, where drawing under the facility is conditional on the prior or simultaneous purchase or reception of collateral to the extent of the institution’s interest in the collateral once the facility is drawn, such that the institution does not have any interest in the collateral to the extent the facility is not drawn.

(a) immovable property collateral in accordance with paragraphs 2, 3 and 4;
(b) receivables in accordance with paragraph 5;
(c) other physical collateral in accordance with paragraphs 6 and 8;
(d) leasing in accordance with paragraph 7.
2. Unless otherwise specified under Article 124(2), 124(9), institutions may use as eligible collateral residential property which is or will be occupied or let by the owner, or the beneficial owner in the case of personal investment companies, and commercial immovable property, including offices and other commercial premises, where both of the following conditions are met:
(a) the property value of the property does not materially depend upon the credit quality of the obligor. Institutions may exclude situations where purely macro-economic factors affect both the value of the property and the performance of the borrower from their determination of the materiality of such dependence; obligor;
(b) the risk of the borrower does not materially depend upon the performance of the underlying property or project, but on the underlying capacity of the borrower to repay the debt from other sources, and as a consequence the repayment of the facility does not materially depend on any cash flow generated by the underlying property serving as collateral.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), institutions may exclude situations where purely macro-economic factors affect both the property value and the performance of the borrower.
3. Institutions may derogate from point (b) of paragraph 2 for exposures secured by residential property situated within the territory of a Member State, where the competent authority of that Member State has published evidence showing that a well-developed and long-established residential property market is present in that territory with loss rates that do not exceed any of the following limits:
(a) losses stemming from loans collateralised the aggregated amount reported by residential property up to 80 % of the market value or 80 % of the mortgage lending value, unless otherwise provided institutions under Article 124(2), do 430a(1), point (a), divided by the aggregated amount reported by institutions under Article 430a(1), point (c), does not exceed 0,3 % of %;

4. Institutions may derogate from point (b) of paragraph 2 for commercial immovable property situated within the territory of a Member State, where the competent authority of that Member State has published evidence showing that a well-developed and long-established commercial immovable property market is present in that territory with loss rates that do not exceed any of the following limits:

5. Institutions may use as eligible collateral amounts receivable linked to a commercial transaction or transactions with an original maturity of less than or equal to one year. Eligible receivables do not include those associated with securitisations, sub-participations or credit derivatives or amounts owed by affiliated parties.
Where a public development credit institution as defined in Article 429a(2) of this Regulation issues a promotional loan as defined in Article 429a(3) of this Regulation to another institution, or to a financial institution that is authorised to carry out activities as referred to in Annex I, point 2 or 3, to Directive 2013/36/EU and that meets the conditions set out in Article 119(5) of this Regulation, and where that other institution or financial institution passes through directly or indirectly that promotional loan to an ultimate obligor and cedes the receivable from the promotional loan as collateral to the public development credit institution, the public development credit institution may use the ceded receivable as eligible collateral, regardless of the original maturity of the ceded receivable.
6. Competent authorities shall permit an institution to use as eligible collateral physical collateral of a type other than those indicated in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 where all the following conditions are met:

Institutions shall carry out the assessment of this condition periodically and where information indicates material changes in the market;
(b) there are well-established, publicly available market prices for the collateral. Institutions may consider market prices as well-established where they come from reliable sources of information such as public indices and reflect the price of the transactions under normal conditions. Institutions may consider market prices as publicly available, where these prices are disclosed, easily accessible, and obtainable regularly and without any undue administrative or financial burden;
(c) the institution analyses the market prices, time and costs required to realise the collateral and the realised proceeds from the collateral;
(d) the institution demonstrates that in at least 90 % of all liquidations for a given type of collateral the realised proceeds from the collateral are not below 70 % of the collateral value in more than 10 % of all liquidations for a given type of collateral. Where value; where there is material volatility in the market prices, the institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the competent authorities authority that its valuation of the collateral is sufficiently conservative.
Institutions shall document the fulfilment of the conditions specified in points (a) to (d) of the first subparagraph and those specified in Article 210.

The credit quality of the obligor and the value of the collateral shall not have a material positive correlation. Where the value of the collateral is reduced significantly, this shall not alone imply a significant deterioration of the credit quality of the obligor. Where the credit quality of the obligor becomes critical, this shall not alone imply a significant reduction in the value of the collateral. Securities issued by the obligor, or any related group entity, shall not qualify as eligible collateral. This notwithstanding, the obligor's own issues of covered bonds falling within the terms of Article 129 qualify as eligible collateral when they are posted as collateral for a repurchase transaction, provided that they comply with the condition set out in the first subparagraph. 3. Institutions shall fulfil any contractual and statutory requirements in respect of, and take all steps necessary to ensure, the enforceability of the collateral arrangements under the law applicable to their interest in the collateral.

applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 1 now describes the internal model approach as available for securities financing transactions or other capital market-driven transactions other than derivatives covered by an eligible master netting agreement meeting Chapter 6, Section 7 requirements, with use conditioned on meeting paragraph 2, replacing the prior wording that framed the approach as an alternative to the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach or Own Estimates Approach and separately addressed margin lending transactions.
Paragraph 2 is rewritten to set out two conditions for use of the internal model approach, namely that it be applied only to exposures whose risk-weighted amounts are calculated under the IRB Approach in Chapter 3, and that the institution be granted permission by its competent authority, replacing the earlier text that allowed use for margin lending transactions under a bilateral master netting agreement meeting Chapter 6, Section 7 requirements.
Paragraph 3 no longer states that an institution may choose the internal models approach independently of its choice between the Standardised Approach and the IRB Approach, nor does it mention obtaining permission under Title IV, Chapter 5 or applying separately for permission under this Article; it now simply requires the approach to be used for all counterparties and securities except immaterial portfolios, for which the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach under Article 220 may be used, omitting the prior reference to the Own Estimates Approach as an alternative for such portfolios.

Using the internal models approach for master netting agreements
1. Subject to permission For the purpose of competent authorities, institutions may, as an alternative to using the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach or the Own Estimates Approach in calculating the fully adjusted risk-weighted exposure value (E*) resulting from the application of an eligible master netting agreement covering repurchase transactions, amounts and expected loss amounts for securities or commodities lending or borrowing transactions, financing transactions or other capital market driven market-driven transactions other than derivative transactions, use transactions covered by an internal models approach which takes into account correlation effects between security positions subject to the master netting agreement as well as the liquidity of the instruments concerned.
2. Subject to the permission of the competent authorities, institutions may also use their internal models for margin lending transactions, where the transactions are covered under a bilateral eligible master netting agreement that meets the requirements set out in Chapter 6, Section 7. 7, an institution may calculate the fully adjusted exposure value (E*) of the agreement using the internal model approach, provided that the institution meets the conditions set out in paragraph 2.
2. An institution may use the internal model approach where all of the following conditions are met:
(a) the institution uses that approach only for exposures for which the risk-weighted exposures amounts are calculated under the IRB Approach set out in Chapter 3;
(b) the institution is granted the permission to use that approach by its competent authority.
3. An institution may choose to use that uses an internal models model approach independently of the choice it has made between the Standardised Approach and the IRB Approach for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts. However, where an institution seeks to use an internal models approach, it shall do so for all counterparties and securities, excluding with the exception of immaterial portfolios where for which it may use the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach or the Own Estimates Approach as laid down in Article 220.
Institutions that have received permission for an internal risk-measurement model under Title IV, Chapter 5 may use the internal models approach. Where an institution has not received such permission, it may still apply for permission to the competent authorities to use an internal models approach for the purposes of this Article.

Institution shall not use both the Financial Collateral Simple Method and the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method, except for the purposes of Articles 148(1) and 150(1). Institutions shall not use this exception selectively with the purpose of achieving reduced own funds requirements or with the purpose of conducting regulatory arbitrage.

3. Institutions shall assign to those portions of exposure values that are collateralised by the market value of eligible collateral the risk weight that they would assign under Chapter 2 where the lending institution had a direct exposure to the collateral instrument. For this that purpose, the exposure value of an off-balance sheet off-balance-sheet item listed in Annex I shall be equal to 100 % of the item's item’s value rather than the exposure value indicated in Article 111(1).
The risk weight of the collateralised portion shall be at least 20 % except as specified in paragraphs 4 to 6. Institutions shall apply to the remainder of the exposure value the risk weight that they would assign to an unsecured exposure to the counterparty under Chapter 2. 111(2).
4. Institutions shall assign a risk weight of 0 % to the collateralised portion of the exposure arising from repurchase transaction and securities lending or borrowing transactions which fulfil the criteria in Article 227. Where the counterparty to the transaction is not a core market participant, institutions shall assign a risk weight of 10 %.
5. Institutions shall assign a risk weight of 0 %, to the extent of the collateralisation, to the exposure values determined under Chapter 6 for the derivative instruments listed in Annex II and subject to daily marking-to-market, collateralised by cash or cash assimilated instruments where there is no currency mismatch.
Institutions shall assign a risk weight of 10 %, to the extent of the collateralisation, to the exposure values of such transactions collateralised by debt securities issued by central governments or central banks which are assigned a 0 % risk weight under Chapter 2.
6. For transactions other than those referred to in paragraphs 4 and 5, institutions may assign a 0 % risk weight where the exposure and the collateral are denominated in the same currency, and either of the following conditions is met:
(a) the collateral is cash on deposit or a cash assimilated instrument;
(b) the collateral is in the form of debt securities issued by central governments or central banks eligible for a 0 % risk weight under Article 114, and its market value has been discounted by 20 %.

Point (b) of paragraph 4(1) was rewritten so that, instead of applying a 100% conversion factor for institutions using the IRB Approach under Article 166(8) to (10), it now applies a 100% CCF for off-balance-sheet items other than derivatives treated under the IRB Approach, replacing the SA-CCF or IRB-CCF referred to in Article 166(8), (8a) and (8b).
Paragraph 6 was shortened to state only that institutions shall calculate volatility adjustments using the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach referred to in Articles 224 to 227, removing the earlier text about the Own Estimates Approach, the freedom to choose between approaches independently of the Standardised or IRB Approach, and the requirement to apply the Own Estimates Approach across the full range of instrument types with an exception for immaterial portfolios.

Article 223
Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method
1. In order to take account of price volatility, institutions shall apply volatility adjustments to the market value of collateral, as set out in Articles 224 to 227, when valuing financial collateral for the purposes of the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method.
Where collateral is denominated in a currency that differs from the currency in which the underlying exposure is denominated, institutions shall add an adjustment reflecting currency volatility to the volatility adjustment appropriate to the collateral as set out in Articles 224 to 227.
In the case of OTC derivatives transactions covered by netting agreements recognised by the competent authorities under Chapter 6, institutions shall apply a volatility adjustment reflecting currency volatility when there is a mismatch between the collateral currency and the settlement currency. Even where multiple currencies are involved in the transactions covered by the netting agreement, institutions shall apply a single volatility adjustment.
2. Institutions shall calculate the volatility-adjusted value of the collateral (CVA) they need to take into account as follows:CVA C follows:CVAC 1 HC Hfx HCHfx
where:
C
the value of the collateral;
HC
the volatility adjustment appropriate to the collateral, as calculated under Articles 224 and 227;
Hfx
the volatility adjustment appropriate to currency mismatch, as calculated under Articles 224 and 227.
Institutions shall use the formula in this paragraph when calculating the volatility-adjusted value of the collateral for all transactions except for those transactions subject to recognised master netting agreements to which the provisions set out in Articles 220 and 221 apply.
3. Institutions shall calculate the volatility-adjusted value of the exposure (EVA) they need to take into account as follows:EVAE 1 HE 1HE
where:
E
the exposure value as would be determined under Chapter 2 or Chapter 3, as applicable, where the exposure was not collateralised;
HE
the volatility adjustment appropriate to the exposure, as calculated under Articles 224 and 227.
In the case of OTC derivative transactions, institutions using the method laid down in Section 6 of Chapter 6 shall calculate EVA as follows:
EVA = E.
4. For the purpose of calculating E in paragraph 3, the following shall apply:
(a) for institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts under the Standardised Approach, the exposure value of an off-balance sheet off-balance-sheet item listed in Annex I shall be 100 % of that item's item’s value rather than the exposure value indicated in Article 111(1); 111(2);
(b) for institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts off-balance-sheet items other than derivatives treated under the IRB Approach, they institutions shall calculate the their exposure value of the items listed in Article 166(8) to (10) by values using a conversion factor CCF of 100 % rather than instead of the conversion factors SA-CCF or percentages indicated IRB-CCF provided for in those paragraphs. Article 166(8), (8a) and (8b).
5. Institutions shall calculate the fully adjusted value of the exposure (E*), taking into account both volatility and the risk-mitigating effects of collateral as follows:E *max 0, EVA CVAM EVACVAM
where:
EVA
the volatility adjusted value of the exposure as calculated in paragraph 3;
CVAM
CVA further adjusted for any maturity mismatch in accordance with the provisions of Section 5;
In the case of OTC derivative transactions, institutions using the methods laid down in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of Chapter 6 shall take into account the risk-mitigating effects of collateral in accordance with the provisions laid down in Sections 3, 4 and 5 of Chapter 6, as applicable.
6. Institutions may shall calculate volatility adjustments either by using the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach referred to in Article Articles 224 or the Own Estimates Approach referred to in Article 225.
An institution may choose to use the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach or the Own Estimates Approach independently of the choice it has made between the Standardised Approach and the IRB Approach for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts.
However, where an institution uses the Own Estimates Approach, it shall do so for the full range of instrument types, excluding immaterial portfolios where it may use the Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach. 227.
7. Where the collateral consists of a number of eligible items, institutions shall calculate the volatility adjustment (H) as follows:HiaiHi
where:
ai
the proportion of the value of an eligible item i in the total value of collateral;
Hi
the volatility adjustment applicable to eligible item i.

Under the Standardised Approach, institutions shall use E* as calculated under Article 223(5) as the exposure value for the purposes of Article 113. In the case of off-balance sheet off-balance-sheet items listed in Annex I, institutions shall use E* as the value to which the percentages indicated in Article 111(1) 111(2) shall be applied to arrive at the exposure value.
2. Under the IRB Approach, institutions shall use the effective LGD (LGD*) as the LGD for the purposes of Chapter 3. Institutions shall calculate LGD* as follows:LGD*LGD E*E
where:
LGD
the LGD that would apply to the exposure under Chapter 3 where the exposure was not collateralised;
E
the exposure value in accordance with Article 223(3);
E*

Article 229 Valuation principles for other eligible collateral under the IRB Approach 1. For immovable property collateral, the collateral shall be valued by an independent valuer at or at less than the market value. An institution shall require the independent valuer to document the market value in a transparent and clear manner. In those Member States that have laid down rigorous criteria for the assessment of the mortgage lending value in statutory or regulatory provisions the immovable property may instead be valued by an independent valuer at or at less than the mortgage lending value. Institutions shall require the independent valuer not to take into account speculative elements in the assessment of the mortgage lending value and to document that value in a transparent and clear manner. The value of the collateral shall be the market value or mortgage lending value reduced as appropriate to reflect the results of the monitoring required under Article 208(3) and to take account of any prior claims on the immovable property. 2. For receivables, the value of receivables shall be the amount receivable. 3. Institutions shall value physical collateral other than immovable property at its market value. For the purposes of this Article, the market value is the estimated amount for which the property would exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction. 4.

Article 229 Valuation principles for eligible collateral other than financial collateral 1. The valuation of immovable property shall meet all of the following requirements: (a) the value is appraised independently from an institution’s mortgage acquisition, loan processing and loan decision process by an independent valuer who possesses the necessary qualifications, ability and experience to execute a valuation; (b) the value is appraised using prudently conservative valuation criteria which meet all of the following requirements: (i) the value excludes expectations on price increases; (ii) the value is adjusted to take into account the potential for the current market value to be significantly above the value that would be sustainable over the life of the loan; (c) the value is documented in a transparent and clear manner; (d) the value is not higher than a market value for the immovable property where such market value can be determined; (e) where the property is revalued, the property value does not exceed the average value measured for that property, or for a comparable property over the last six years for residential property or eight years for commercial immovable property or the value at origination, whichever is higher. For the purpose of calculating the average value, institutions shall take the average across property values observed at equal intervals and the reference period shall include at least three data points. For the purpose of calculating the average value, institutions may use the results of the monitoring of property values in accordance with Article 208(3). The property value may exceed that average value or the value at origination, as applicable, in the case of modifications made to the property that unequivocally increase its value, such as improvements of the energy performance or improvements to the resilience, protection and adaptation to physical risks of the building or housing unit. The property value shall not be revalued upward if institutions do not have sufficient data to calculate the average value except if the value increase is based on modifications that unequivocally increase its value. The valuation of immovable property shall take account of any prior claims on the property, unless a prior claim is taken into account in the calculation of the gross exposure amount pursuant to Article 124(6), point (c), or as reducing the amount of 55 % of the property value pursuant to Article 125(1) or Article 126(1), and reflect, where applicable, the results of the monitoring required under Article 208(3). 2. For receivables, the value of receivables shall be the amount receivable. 3. Institutions shall value physical collateral other than immovable property at its market value.

Institutions shall use LGD* calculated in accordance with this paragraph and paragraph 2 as the LGD for the purposes of Chapter 3. Where the ratio of the value of the collateral (C) to the exposure value (E) is below the required minimum collateralisation level of the exposure (C*) as laid down in Table 5, LGD* shall be the LGD laid down in Chapter 3 for uncollateralised exposures to the counterparty. For this purpose, institutions shall calculate the exposure value of the items listed in Article 166(8) to (10) by using a conversion factor or percentage of 100 % rather than the conversion factors or percentages indicated in those paragraphs. Where the ratio of the value of the collateral to the exposure value exceeds a second, higher threshold level of C** as laid down in Table 5, LGD* shall be that prescribed in Table 5. Where the required level of collateralisation C** is not achieved in respect of the exposure as a whole, institutions shall consider the exposure to be two exposures — one corresponding to the part in respect of which the required level of collateralisation C** is achieved and one corresponding to the remainder. 2.

For exposures with unfunded credit protection to which an institution applies the IRB Approach set out in Chapter 3 and where comparable direct exposures to the protection provider are treated under the Standardised Approach, institutions shall calculate the risk-weighted exposure amounts in accordance with the following formula:
max {0, E – GA} · r + GA · g
where:
E
= the exposure value determined in accordance with Chapter 3, Section 5; for that purpose, institutions shall calculate the exposure value for off-balance-sheet items other than derivatives treated under the IRB Approach using a CCF of 100 % instead of the SA-CCFs or IRB-CCF provided for in Article 166(8), (8a) and (8b);
GA
= the amount of credit protection adjusted for foreign exchange risk (G*) as calculated in accordance with Article 233(3) further adjusted for any maturity mismatch as laid down in Section 5 of this Chapter;
r
= the risk weight of exposures to the obligor as specified in Chapter 3;
g
= the risk weight applicable to a direct exposure to the protection provider as specified in Chapter 2.
2. Where the amount of credit protection (GA) is less than the exposure value (E), institutions may apply the formula specified in paragraph 1 only where the protected and unprotected parts of the exposure are of equal seniority.
3. Institutions may extend the preferential treatment set out in Article 114(4) and (7), to exposures or parts of exposures guaranteed by the central government or the central bank as if those exposures were direct exposures to the central government or the central bank, provided that the conditions set out in Article 114(4) or (7), as applicable, are met for such direct exposures.
4. The expected loss amount for the covered part of the exposure value shall be zero.
5. For any uncovered part of the exposure value (E), institutions shall use the risk weight and the expected loss corresponding to the underlying exposure. For the calculation set out in Article 159, institutions shall assign any general or specific credit risk adjustments or additional value adjustments in accordance with Article 34 related to the non-trading book business of the institution or other own funds reductions related to the exposure other than the deductions made in accordance with Article 36(1), point (m), to the uncovered part of the exposure value.

The heading and the substance of Article 236 were rewritten from a general IRB substitution-approach provision into one specifically covering unfunded credit protection where own estimates of LGD are not used and the protection provider is treated under the IRB Approach, and the single-paragraph rule of 1 was replaced with a new paragraph 1 plus new paragraphs 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d that separately address institutions using own PD estimates, the risk-weight-function calculation, and the method under Article 153(5).
Paragraph 2 on the uncovered portion was expanded to require institutions to use the risk weight and expected loss of the underlying exposure and to assign credit risk adjustments, value adjustments and other own funds reductions per Article 159 to the uncovered part, replacing the earlier simple statement that PD and LGD of the borrower and underlying exposure apply.
Paragraph 3 was reworded to define GA as the amount of credit protection adjusted for foreign exchange risk and to require institutions to calculate the exposure value for off-balance-sheet items other than derivatives using a CCF of 100% instead of the SA-CCFs or IRB-CCFs referenced in Article 166(8), (8a) and (8b), replacing the prior reference to conversion factors or percentages under Article 166(8) to (10).

Article 236 Calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts under the IRB Approach 1. For the covered portion of the exposure value (E), based on the adjusted value of the credit protection GA, the PD for the purposes of Section 4 of Chapter 3 may be the PD of the protection provider, or a PD between that of the borrower and that of the guarantor where a full substitution is deemed not to be warranted. In the case of subordinated exposures and non-subordinated unfunded protection, the LGD to be applied by institutions for the purposes of Section 4 of Chapter 3 may be that associated with senior claims. 2. For any uncovered portion of the exposure value (E) the PD shall be that of the borrower and the LGD shall be that of the underlying exposure. 3. For the purposes of this Article, GA is the value of G* as calculated under Article 233(3) further adjusted for any maturity mismatch as laid down in Section 5. E is the exposure value determined in accordance with Section 5 of Chapter 3. For this purpose, institutions shall calculate the exposure value of the items listed in Article 166(8) to (10) by using a conversion factor or percentage of 100 % rather than the conversion factors or percentages indicated in those paragraphs.

applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 7 now covers only OTC derivatives and no longer refers to securities-financing transactions, and it drops the option of using own volatility adjustment estimates under the Financial Collateral Comprehensive Method, leaving only the standard Supervisory Volatility Adjustments Approach as the permitted basis for recognising non-cash collateral.
A new paragraph 7a has been added, stating that an institution unable to model collateral jointly with the exposure shall not recognise, in its exposure value calculations for securities financing transactions, the effect of collateral other than cash of the same currency as the exposure itself.
The prior version of paragraph 7 addressed both OTC derivatives and securities-financing transactions together and allowed either own volatility adjustment estimates or the standard supervisory approach.

The article was retitled from 'Combined use of different approaches' to 'Business indicator' and its substance was replaced: instead of rules on combining the Basic Indicator, Standardised and Advanced Measurement Approaches, it now sets out formulas for calculating the business indicator from an interest, leases and dividend component, a services component and a financial component.
New transitional and derogation provisions were added allowing an EU parent institution, until 31 December 2027, to request permission to calculate a separate interest, leases and dividend component for certain subsidiaries, subject to biennial reassessment and EBA notification, and allowing continued use of the alternative standardised approach as it stood on 8 July 2024 for retail and commercial banking business lines until 31 December 2027 or an earlier permission date.
The former paragraph 5 mandate for EBA to develop regulatory technical standards on approach-combination conditions, due to the Commission by 31 December 2016, no longer appears, while the EBA reporting obligation on the new derogation is set for 31 December 2031 with a possible Commission legislative proposal by 31 December 2032, and paragraphs 9 and 10 on regulatory and implementing technical standards for business indicator components remain present in both versions.

Article 314 Combined use of different approaches 1. Institutions may use a combination of approaches provided that they obtain permission from the competent authorities. Competent authorities shall grant such permission where the requirements set out in paragraphs 2 to 4, as applicable, are met. 2. An institution may use an Advanced Measurement Approach in combination with either the Basic Indicator Approach or the Standardised Approach, where both of the following conditions are met: (a) the combination of Approaches used by the institution captures all its operational risks and competent authorities are satisfied with the methodology used by the institution to cover different activities, geographical locations, legal structures or other relevant divisions determined on an internal basis; (b) the criteria set out in Article 320 and the standards set out in Articles 321 and 322 are fulfilled for the part of activities covered by the Standardised Approach and the Advanced Measurement Approaches respectively. 3. For institutions that want to use an Advanced Measurement Approach in combination with either the Basic Indicator Approach or the Standardised Approach competent authorities shall impose the following additional conditions for granting permission: (a) on the date of implementation of an Advanced Measurement Approach, a significant part of the institution's operational risks are captured by that Approach; (b) the institution takes a commitment to apply the Advanced Measurement Approach across a material part of its operations within a time schedule that was submitted to and approved by its competent authorities. 4. An institution may request permission from a competent authority to use a combination of the Basic Indicator Approach and the Standardised Approach only in exceptional circumstances such as the recent acquisition of new business which may require a transitional period for the application of the Standardised Approach. A competent authority shall grant such permission only where the institution has committed to apply the Standardised Approach within a time schedule that was submitted to and approved by the competent authority. 5. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the following: (a) the conditions that competent authorities shall use when assessing the methodology referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2; (b) the conditions that the competent authorities shall use when deciding whether to impose the additional conditions referred to in paragraph 3.

Article 314 Business indicator 1. Institutions shall calculate their business indicator in accordance with the following formula: BI = ILDC + SC + FC where: BI = the business indicator, expressed in billions of euro; ILDC = the interest, leases and dividend component, expressed in billions of euro and calculated in accordance with paragraph 2; SC = the services component, expressed in billions of euro and calculated in accordance with paragraph 5; FC = the financial component, expressed in billions of euro and calculated in accordance with paragraph 6. 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the interest, leases and dividend component shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: where: ILDC = the interest, leases and dividend component; IC = the interest component, which is the institution’s interest income from all financial assets and other interest income, including finance income from financial leases and income from operating leases and profits from leased assets, minus the institution’s interest expenses from all financial liabilities and other interest expenses, including interest expense from financial and operating leases, depreciation and impairment of, and losses from, operating leased assets, calculated as the annual average of the absolute values of the differences over the last three financial years; AC = the asset component, which is the sum of the institution’s total gross outstanding loans, advances, interest bearing securities, including government bonds, and lease assets, calculated as the annual average over the last three financial years on the basis of the amounts at the end of each of the respective financial years; DC = the dividend component, which is the institution’s dividend income from investments in stocks and funds not consolidated in the financial statements of the institution, including dividend income from non-consolidated subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, calculated as the annual average over the last three financial years. 3. By way of derogation from paragraph 2, an EU parent institution may, until 31 December 2027, request permission from its consolidating supervisor to calculate a separate interest, leases and dividend component for any of its specific subsidiary institutions and to add the outcome of that calculation to the interest, leases and dividend component calculated, on a consolidated basis, for the other entities of the group where all of the following conditions are met: (a) the subsidiaries’ retail or commercial banking activities account for the majority of their activity; (b) a significant proportion of the subsidiaries’ retail or commercial banking activities comprise loans associated with a high PD; (c) the use of the derogation provides an appropriate basis for calculating the EU parent institution’s own funds requirement for operational risk. Once granted, the permission, and its conditions, shall be reassessed by the consolidating supervisor every two years. The consolidating supervisor shall notify EBA as soon as such permission is granted, confirmed or withdrawn. By 31 December 2031, EBA shall report to the Commission on the use and appropriateness of the derogation referred to in the first subparagraph having regard, in particular, to the specific business models concerned and to the adequacy of the related own funds requirement for operational risk. On the basis of that report, and taking due account of the related internationally agreed standards developed by the BCBS, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal by 31 December 2032. 4. Until 31 December 2027 or until the consolidating supervisor grants permission in accordance with paragraph 3, whichever is earlier, an EU parent institution that has been granted permission to apply the alternative standardised approach to its business lines of retail banking and commercial banking to calculate its own funds requirement for operational risk may, after having informed its consolidating supervisor, continue to use the alternative standardised approach as set out in the version of this Regulation applicable on 8 July 2024 for the purpose of calculating the own funds requirement for operational risk relating to those two business lines and according to the scope of the existing permission. 5. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the services component shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: SC = max(OI,OE) + max(FI,FE) where: SC = the services component; OI = the other operating income, which is the annual average over the last three financial years of the institution’s income from ordinary banking operations not included in other items of the business indicator but of similar nature; OE = the other operating expenses, which is the annual average over the last three financial years of the institution’s expenses and losses from ordinary banking operations not included in other items of the business indicator but of similar nature, and from operational risk events; FI = the fee and commission income component, which is the annual average over the last three financial years of the institution’s income received from providing advice and services, including income received by the institution as an outsourcer of financial services; FE = the fee and commission expenses component, which is the annual average over the last three financial years of the institution’s expenses paid for receiving advice and services, including outsourcing fees paid by the institution for the supply of financial services, but excluding outsourcing fees paid for the supply of non-financial services. Subject to the prior permission of the competent authority, and to the extent that the institutional protection scheme has at its disposal suitable and uniformly stipulated systems for the monitoring and classification of operational risks, institutions that are members of an institutional protection scheme meeting the requirements of Article 113(7) may calculate the services component net of any income received from, or expenses paid to, institutions that are members of the same institutional protection scheme. Any losses resulting from the related operational risks are subject to mutualisation across institutional protection scheme members. 6. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the financial component shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: FC = TC + BC where: FC = the financial component; TC = the trading book component, which is the annual average of the absolute values over the last three financial years of the net profit or loss, as applicable, on the institution’s trading book, determined as appropriate either in accordance with accounting standards or in accordance with Part Three, Title I, Chapter 3, including from trading assets and trading liabilities, from hedge accounting and from exchange differences; BC = the banking book component, which is the annual average of the absolute values over the last three financial years of the net profit or loss, as applicable, on the institution’s non-trading book, including from financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss, from hedge accounting, from exchange differences and from realised gains and losses on financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value through profit and loss. 7. Institutions shall not use any of the following elements in the calculation of their business indicator: (a) income and expenses from insurance or reinsurance business; (b) premiums paid and payments received from insurance or reinsurance policies purchased; (c) administrative expenses, including staff expenses, outsourcing fees paid for the supply of non-financial services, and other administrative expenses; (d) recovery of administrative expenses including recovery of payments on behalf of customers; (e) expenses of premises and fixed assets, except where those expenses result from operational risk events; (f) depreciation of tangible assets and amortisation of intangible assets, except the depreciation related to operating lease assets, which shall be included in financial and operating lease expenses; (g) provisions and reversal of provisions, except where those provisions relate to operational risk events; (h) expenses due to share capital repayable on demand; (i) impairment and reversal of impairment; (j) changes in goodwill recognised in profit or loss; (k) corporate income tax. 8. Where an institution has been in operation for less than three years, it shall use forward-looking business estimates in calculating the relevant components of its business indicator, subject to the satisfaction of its competent authority. The institution shall start using historical data as soon as that data are available. 9. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the following: (a) the components of the business indicator, and their use, by developing lists of typical sub-items, taking into account international regulatory standards and, where appropriate, the prudential boundary defined in Part Three, Title I, Chapter 3; (b) the elements listed in paragraph 7 of this Article.

Article 316 Relevant indicator 1. For institutions applying accounting standards established by Directive 86/635/EEC, based on the accounting categories for the profit and loss account of institutions under Article 27 of that Directive, the relevant indicator is the sum of the elements listed in Table 1 of this paragraph. Institutions shall include each element in the sum with its positive or negative sign. Table 1 1 Interest receivable and similar income 2 Interest payable and similar charges 3 Income from shares and other variable/fixed-yield securities 4 Commissions/fees receivable 5 Commissions/fees payable 6 Net profit or net loss on financial operations 7 Other operating income Institutions shall adjust these elements to reflect the following qualifications: (a) institutions shall calculate the relevant indicator before the deduction of any provisions and operating expenses. Institutions shall include in operating expenses fees paid for outsourcing services rendered by third parties which are not a parent or subsidiary of the institution or a subsidiary of a parent which is also the parent of the institution. Institutions may use expenditure on the outsourcing of services rendered by third parties to reduce the relevant indicator where the expenditure is incurred from an undertaking subject to rules under, or equivalent to, this Regulation; (b) institutions shall not use the following elements in the calculation of the relevant indicator: (i) realised profits/losses from the sale of non-trading book items; (ii) income from extraordinary or irregular items; (iii) income derived from insurance. (c) when revaluation of trading items is part of the profit and loss statement, institutions may include revaluation. When institutions apply Article 36(2) of Directive 86/635/EEC, they shall include revaluation booked in the profit and loss account. By way of derogation from the first subparagraph of this paragraph, institutions may choose not to apply the accounting categories for the profit and loss account under Article 27 of Directive 86/635/EEC to financial and operating leases for the purpose of calculating the relevant indicator, and may instead: (a) include interest income from financial and operating leases and profits from leased assets in the category referred to in point 1 of Table 1; (b) include interest expense from financial and operating leases, losses, depreciation and impairment of operating leased assets in the category referred to in point 2 of Table 1. 2.

Article 316 Calculation of the annual operational risk loss 1. Institutions with a business indicator equal to or exceeding EUR 750 million shall calculate their annual operational risk loss as the sum of all net losses over a given financial year, calculated in accordance with Article 318(1), that are equal to or exceed the loss data thresholds set out in Article 319(1) or (2). By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, competent authorities may grant a waiver from the requirement to calculate an annual operational risk loss to institutions with a business indicator that does not exceed EUR 1 billion, provided that the institution has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the competent authority that it would be unduly burdensome for the institution to apply the first subparagraph. 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the relevant business indicator shall be the highest value of the business indicator that the institution has reported at the last eight reporting reference dates. An institution that has not yet reported its business indicator shall use its most recent business indicator. 3. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the condition of unduly burdensome for the purposes of paragraph 1. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 January 2026.

Article 317 Own funds requirement 1. Under the Standardised Approach, institutions shall divide their activities into the business lines set out in Table 2 of paragraph 4 and in accordance with the principles set out in Article 318. 2. Institutions shall calculate the own funds requirement for operational risk as the average over three years of the sum of the annual own funds requirements across all business lines referred to in Table 2 of paragraph 4. The annual own funds requirement of each business line is equal to the product of the corresponding beta factor referred to in that Table and the part of the relevant indicator mapped to the respective business line. 3. In any given year, institutions may offset negative own funds requirements resulting from a negative part of the relevant indicator in any business line with positive own funds requirements in other business lines without limit. However, where the aggregate own funds requirement across all business lines within a given year is negative, institutions shall use the value zero as the input to the numerator for that year. 4. Institutions shall calculate the average over three years of the sum referred to in paragraph 2 on the basis of the last three twelve-monthly observations at the end of the financial year. When audited figures are not available, institutions may use business estimates. Where an institution can prove to its competent authority that, due to a merger, an acquisition or a disposal of entities or activities, using a three year average to calculate the relevant indicator would lead to a biased estimation for the own funds requirement for operational risk, the competent authority may permit institutions to amend the calculation in a way that would take into account such events and shall duly inform EBA thereof. In such circumstances, the competent authority may, on its own initiative, also require an institution to amend the calculation. Where an institution has been in operation for less than three years it may use forward-looking business estimates in calculating the relevant indicator, provided that it starts using historical data as soon as it is available.

Article 317 Loss data set 1. Institutions that calculate an annual operational risk loss in accordance with Article 316(1) shall have in place arrangements, processes and mechanisms to establish and maintain updated on an ongoing basis a loss data set compiling for each recorded operational risk event the gross loss amounts, non-insurance recoveries, insurance recoveries, reference dates and grouped losses, including those from misconduct events. 2. The institution’s loss data set shall capture all operational risk events stemming from all entities that are part of the scope of consolidation pursuant to Part One, Title II, Chapter 2. 3. For the purpose of paragraph 1, institutions shall: (a) include in the loss data set each operational risk event recorded during one or multiple financial years; (b) use the date of accounting for including losses related to operational risk events in the loss data set; (c) allocate losses and recoveries related to a common operational risk event or related operational risk events over time and posted to the accounts over several years, to the corresponding financial years of the loss data set, in line with their accounting treatment. 4. Institutions shall also collect: (a) information about the reference dates of operational risk events, including: (i) the date when the operational risk event happened or first began (date of occurrence), where available; (ii) the date on which the institution became aware of the operational risk event (date of discovery); (iii) the date or dates on which an operational risk event results in a loss, or the reserve or provision against a loss, recognised in the institution’s profit and loss accounts (date of accounting); (b) information on any recoveries of gross loss amounts as well as descriptive information about the drivers or causes of the loss events. The level of detail of any descriptive information shall be commensurate with the size of the gross loss amount. 5. An institution shall not include in the loss data set operational risk events related to credit risk that are accounted for in the risk-weighted exposure amount for credit risk. Operational risk events that relate to credit risk but are not accounted for in the risk-weighted exposure amount for credit risk shall be included in the loss data set. 6. Operational risk events related to market risk shall be treated as operational risk and shall be included in the loss data set. 7. An institution shall, upon request from the competent authority, be able to map its historical internal loss data to the event type. 8. For the purposes of this Article, institutions shall ensure the soundness, robustness and performance of their IT systems and infrastructure necessary to maintain and update the loss data set, in particular by ensuring all of the following: (a) their IT systems and infrastructure are sound and resilient and that that soundness and resilience can be maintained on a continuous basis; (b) their IT systems and infrastructure are subject to configuration management, change management and release management processes; (c) where an institution outsources parts of the maintenance of its IT systems and infrastructure, the soundness, robustness and performance of the IT systems and infrastructure is ensured by confirming at least the following: (i) its IT systems and infrastructure are sound and resilient and that soundness and resilience can be maintained on a continuous basis; (ii) the process for planning, creating, testing and deploying the IT systems and infrastructure is sound and proper with reference to project management, risk management, governance, engineering, quality assurance and test planning, systems’ modelling and development, quality assurance in all activities, including code reviews and, where appropriate, code verification, and testing, including user acceptance; (iii) its IT systems and infrastructure are subject to configuration management, change management and release management processes; (iv) the process for planning, creating, testing and deploying the IT systems and infrastructure and contingency plans is approved by the management body or senior management and the management body and senior management are periodically informed about the IT systems and infrastructure performance. 9.

The prior text on mapping criteria, exclusivity of business-line allocation, ancillary activities, internal pricing, senior management responsibility, independent review, and EBA implementing technical standards has been replaced with provisions defining net loss as gross loss minus recovery, listing items to be included in and excluded from the gross loss computation, and setting conditions for using recoveries to reduce gross losses.
The new text also introduces requirements for institutions to maintain updated net loss calculations over a 10-year time window and to provide documentation to competent authorities upon request, none of which appeared in the earlier version.

Article 318 Principles for business line mapping 1. Institutions shall develop and document specific policies and criteria for mapping the relevant indicator for current business lines and activities into the standardised framework set out in Article 317. They shall review and adjust those policies and criteria as appropriate for new or changing business activities and risks. 2. Institutions shall apply the following principles for business line mapping: (a) institutions shall map all activities into the business lines in a mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive manner; (b) institutions shall allocate any activity which cannot be readily mapped into the business line framework, but which represents an ancillary activity to an activity included in the framework, to the business line it supports. Where more than one business line is supported through the ancillary activity, institutions shall use an objective-mapping criterion; (c) where an activity cannot be mapped into a particular business line then institutions shall use the business line yielding the highest percentage. The same business line equally applies to any ancillary activity associated with that activity; (d) institutions may use internal pricing methods to allocate the relevant indicator between business lines. Costs generated in one business line which are imputable to a different business line may be reallocated to the business line to which they pertain; (e) the mapping of activities into business lines for operational risk capital purposes shall be consistent with the categories institutions use for credit and market risks; (f) senior management shall be responsible for the mapping policy under the control of the management body of the institution; (g) institutions shall subject the mapping process to business lines to independent review. 3. EBA shall develop draft implementing technical standards to determine the conditions of application of the principles for business line mapping provided in this Article. EBA shall submit those draft implementing technical standards to the Commission by 31 December 2017. Power is conferred on the Commission to adopt the implementing technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 318 Calculation of net loss and gross loss 1. For the purposes of Article 316(1), institutions shall calculate for each operational risk event a net loss as follows: net loss = gross loss – recovery where: gross loss = a loss linked to an operational risk event before recoveries of any type; recovery = one or multiple independent occurrences, related to the original operational risk event, separated in time, in which funds or inflows of economic benefits are received from a third party. Institutions shall maintain on an ongoing basis an updated calculation of the net loss for each specific operational risk event. To that end, institutions shall update the net loss calculation based on the observed or estimated variations of the gross loss and the recovery for each of the last 10 financial years. Where losses, linked to the same operational risk event, are observed during multiple financial years within that 10-year time window, the institution shall calculate and maintain updated: (a) the net loss, gross loss and recovery for each of the financial years of the 10-year time window where that net loss, gross loss and recovery were recorded; (b) the aggregated net loss, aggregated gross loss and aggregated recovery of all relevant financial years of the 10-year time window. 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the following items shall be included in the gross loss computation: (a) direct charges, such as impairments, settlements, amounts paid to make good the damage, penalties and interest in arrears and legal fees, to the institution’s profit and loss accounts and write-downs due to the operational risk event, including: (i) where the operational risk event relates to market risk, the costs to unwind market positions in the recorded loss amount of the operational risk items; (ii) where payments relate to failures or inadequate processes of the institution, penalties, interest charges, late-payment charges, legal fees and, with the exclusion of the tax amount originally due, tax, unless that amount is already included under point (e); (b) costs incurred as a consequence of the operational risk event, including external expenses with a direct link to the operational risk event and costs of repair or replacement, incurred to restore the position that was prevailing before the operational risk event occurred; (c) provisions or reserves accounted for in the profit and loss accounts against the potential operational loss impact, including those from misconduct events; (d) losses stemming from operational risk events with a definitive financial impact which are temporarily booked in transitory or suspense accounts and are not yet reflected in the profit and loss accounts (pending losses); (e) negative economic impacts booked in a financial year and which are due to operational risk events impacting the cash flows or financial statements of previous financial years (timing losses). For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (d), material pending losses shall be included in the loss data set within a time period commensurate with the size and age of the pending item. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (e), the institution shall include in the loss data set material timing losses where those losses are due to operational risk events that span more than one financial year. Institutions shall include in the recorded loss amount of the operational risk item of a financial year losses that are due to the correction of booking errors that occurred in any previous financial year, even where those losses do not directly affect third parties. Where there are material timing losses and the operational risk event affects directly third parties, including customers, providers and employees of the institution, the institution shall also include the official restatement of previously issued financial reports. 3. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the following items shall be excluded from the gross loss computation: (a) costs of general maintenance of contracts on property, plant or equipment; (b) internal or external expenditure to enhance the business after the operational risk losses, including upgrades, improvements, risk assessment initiatives and enhancements; (c) insurance premiums. 4. For the purposes of paragraph 1, recoveries shall be used to reduce gross losses only where the institution has received payment. Receivables shall not be considered as recoveries. Upon request from the competent authority, the institution shall provide all documentation needed to verify the payments received and factored in the calculation of the net loss of an operational risk event.

Under the Alternative Standardised Approach, for the business lines retail banking and commercial banking, institutions shall apply the following: (a) the relevant indicator is a normalised income indicator equal to the nominal amount of loans and advances multiplied by 0,035; (b) the loans and advances consist of the total drawn amounts in the corresponding credit portfolios. For the commercial banking business line, institutions shall also include securities held in the non trading book in the nominal amount of loans and advances. 2. To be permitted to use the Alternative Standardised Approach, an institution shall meet all the following conditions: (a) its retail or commercial banking activities shall account for at least 90 % of its income; (b) a significant proportion of its retail or commercial banking activities shall comprise loans associated with a high PD; (c) the Alternative Standardised Approach provides an appropriate basis for calculating its own funds requirement for operational risk.

Article 320 Exclusion of losses 1. An institution may request permission from the competent authority to exclude from the calculation of its annual operational risk loss exceptional operational risk events that are no longer relevant to the institution’s risk profile, where all of the following conditions are met: (a) the institution can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the cause of the operational risk event at the origin of those operational risk losses will not occur again; (b) the aggregated net loss of the corresponding operational risk event is either of the following: (i) equal to or exceed 10 % of the institution’s average annual operational risk loss, calculated over the last 10 financial years and based on the threshold referred to in Article 319(1), where the operational risk loss event refers to activities that are still part of the business indicator; (ii) related to an operational risk event that refers to activities divested from the business indicator in accordance with Article 315(2); (c) the operational risk loss was in the loss database for a minimum period of one year, unless the operational risk loss is related to activities divested from the business indicator in accordance with Article 315(2). For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), of this paragraph the minimum period of one year shall start from the date on which the operational risk event, included in the loss data set, first became greater than the materiality threshold provided for in Article 319(1). 2. An institution requesting the permission referred to in paragraph 1 shall provide the competent authority with documented justifications for the exclusion of an exceptional operational risk event, including: (a) a description of the operational risk event; (b) proof that the loss from the operational risk event is above the materiality threshold for loss exclusion referred to in paragraph 1, point (b)(i), including the date on which that operational risk event became greater than the materiality threshold; (c) the date on which the operational risk event concerned would be excluded, considering the minimum retention period set out in paragraph 1, point (c); (d) the reason why the operational risk event is no longer deemed relevant to the institution’s risk profile; (e) a demonstration that there are no similar or residual legal exposures and that the operational risk event to be excluded has no relevance to other activities or products; (f) reports of the institution’s independent review or validation, confirming that the operational risk event is no longer relevant and that there are no similar or residual legal exposures; (g) proof that competent bodies of the institution, through the institution’s approval processes, have approved the request for exclusion of the operational risk event and the date of such approval; (h) the impact of the exclusion of the operational risk event on the annual operational risk loss. 3.

Article 322 Quantitative Standards 1. The quantitative standards referred to in Article 312(2) include the standards relating to process, to internal data, to external data, to scenario analysis, to business environment and to internal control factors laid down in paragraphs 2 to 6 respectively. 2. The standards relating to process are the following: (a) an institution shall calculate its own funds requirement as comprising both expected loss and unexpected loss, unless expected loss is adequately captured in its internal business practices. The operational risk measure shall capture potentially severe tail events, achieving a soundness standard comparable to a 99,9 % confidence interval over a one year period; (b) an institution's operational risk measurement system shall include the use of internal data, external data, scenario analysis and factors reflecting the business environment and internal control systems as set out in paragraphs 3 to 6. An institution shall have in place a well documented approach for weighting the use of these four elements in its overall operational risk measurement system; (c) an institution's risk measurement system shall capture the major drivers of risk affecting the shape of the tail of the estimated distribution of losses; (d) an institution may recognise correlations in operational risk losses across individual operational risk estimates only where its systems for measuring correlations are sound, implemented with integrity, and take into account the uncertainty surrounding any such correlation estimates, particularly in periods of stress. An institution shall validate its correlation assumptions using appropriate quantitative and qualitative techniques; (e) an institution's risk measurement system shall be internally consistent and shall avoid the multiple counting of qualitative assessments or risk mitigation techniques recognised in other areas of this Regulation. 3. The standards relating to internal data are the following: (a) an institution shall base its internally generated operational risk measures on a minimum historical observation period of five years. When an institution first moves to an Advanced Measurement Approach, it may use a three-year historical observation period; (b) an institution shall be able to map their historical internal loss data into the business lines defined in Article 317 and into the event types defined in Article 324, and to provide these data to competent authorities upon request. In exceptional circumstances, an institution may allocate loss events which affect the entire institution to an additional business line corporate items. An institution shall have in place documented, objective criteria for allocating losses to the specified business lines and event types. An institution shall record the operational risk losses that are related to credit risk and that the institution has historically included in the internal credit risk databases in the operational risk databases and shall identify them separately. Such losses shall not be subject to the operational risk charge, provided that the institution is required to continue to treat them as credit risk for the purposes of calculating own funds requirements. An institution shall include operational risk losses that are related to market risks in the scope of the own funds requirement for operational risk; (c) an institution's internal loss data shall be comprehensive in that it captures all material activities and exposures from all appropriate sub-systems and geographic locations. An institution shall be able to justify that any excluded activities or exposures, both individually and in combination, would not have a material impact on the overall risk estimates. An institution shall define appropriate minimum loss thresholds for internal loss data collection; (d) aside from information on gross loss amounts, an institution shall collect information about the date of the loss event, any recoveries of gross loss amounts, as well as descriptive information about the drivers or causes of the loss event; (e) an institution shall have in place specific criteria for assigning loss data arising from a loss event in a centralised function or an activity that spans more than one business line, as well as from related loss events over time; (f) an institution shall have in place documented procedures for assessing the on-going relevance of historical loss data, including those situations in which judgement overrides, scaling, or other adjustments may be used, to what extent they may be used and who is authorised to make such decisions. 4. The qualifying standards relating to external data are the following: (a) an institution's operational risk measurement system shall use relevant external data, especially when there is reason to believe that the institution is exposed to infrequent, yet potentially severe, losses. An institution shall have a systematic process for determining the situations for which external data shall be used and the methodologies used to incorporate the data in its measurement system; (b) an institution shall regularly review the conditions and practices for external data and shall document them and subject them to periodic independent review. 5. An institution shall use scenario analysis of expert opinion in conjunction with external data to evaluate its exposure to high severity events. Over time, the institution shall validate and reassess such assessments through comparison to actual loss experience to ensure their reasonableness. 6. The qualifying standards relating to business environment and internal control factors are the following: (a) an institution's firm-wide risk assessment methodology shall capture key business environment and internal control factors that can change the institutions operational risk profile; (b) an institution shall justify the choice of each factor as a meaningful driver of risk, based on experience and involving the expert judgment of the affected business areas; (c) an institution shall be able to justify to competent authorities the sensitivity of risk estimates to changes in the factors and the relative weighting of the various factors. In addition to capturing changes in risk due to improvements in risk controls, an institution's risk measurement framework shall also capture potential increases in risk due to greater complexity of activities or increased business volume; (d) an institution shall document its risk measurement framework and shall subject it to independent review within the institution and by competent authorities. Over time, an institution shall validate and reassess the process and the outcomes through comparison to actual internal loss experience and relevant external data.

Article 322 Comprehensiveness, accuracy and quality of the loss data 1. Institutions shall have in place the organisation and processes to ensure the comprehensiveness, accuracy and quality of the loss data and to subject that data to independent review. 2. Competent authorities shall periodically, and at least every five years, review the quality of the loss data of an institution that calculates an annual operational risk loss in accordance with Article 316(1). Competent authorities shall carry out such review at least every three years for an institution with a business indicator that exceeds EUR 1 billion.

The insurance and the institutions' insurance framework shall meet all the following conditions: (a) the insurance policy has an initial term of no less than one year. For policies with a residual term of less than one year, an institution shall make appropriate haircuts reflecting the declining residual term of the policy, up to a full 100 % haircut for policies with a residual term of 90 days or less; (b) the insurance policy has a minimum notice period for cancellation of the contract of 90 days; (c) the insurance policy has no exclusions or limitations triggered by supervisory actions or, in the case of a failed institution, that preclude the institution's receiver or liquidator from recovering the damages suffered or expenses incurred by the institution, except in respect of events occurring after the initiation of receivership or liquidation proceedings in respect of the institution. However, the insurance policy may exclude any fine, penalty, or punitive damages resulting from actions by the competent authorities; (d) the risk mitigation calculations shall reflect the insurance coverage in a manner that is transparent in its relationship to, and consistent with, the actual likelihood and impact of loss used in the overall determination of operational risk capital; (e) the insurance is provided by a third party entity. In the case of insurance through captives and affiliates, the exposure has to be laid off to an independent third party entity that meets the eligibility criteria set out in paragraph 2; (f) the framework for recognising insurance is well reasoned and documented. 4. The methodology for recognising insurance shall capture all the following elements through discounts or haircuts in the amount of insurance recognition: (a) the residual term of the insurance policy, where less than one year; (b) the policy's cancellation terms, where less than one year; (c) the uncertainty of payment as well as mismatches in coverage of insurance policies. 5. The reduction in own funds requirements from the recognition of insurances and other risk transfer mechanisms shall not exceed 20 % of the own funds requirement for operational risk before the recognition of risk mitigation techniques.

Article 325
Approaches for calculating the own funds requirements for market risk
1. An institution shall calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of for all its trading book positions and non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange risk or commodity risk in accordance with the following approaches:
(a) the standardised approach referred to in paragraph 2;
(b) the internal model approach set out in Chapter 5 of this Title for those risk categories for which the institution has been granted permission in accordance with Article 363 to use that approach.
2. The own funds requirements for market risk calculated in accordance with the standardised approach referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall mean the sum of the following own funds requirements, as applicable:
(a) the own funds requirements for position risk referred to in Chapter 2;
(b) the own funds requirements for foreign exchange risk referred to in Chapter 3;
(c) the own funds requirements for commodity risk referred to in Chapter 4.
3. An institution that is not exempted from the reporting requirements set out in Article 430b in accordance with Article 325a shall report the calculation in accordance with Article 430b for all trading book positions and its non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange risk or commodity risk in accordance with the following approaches:
(a) the alternative standardised approach set out in Chapter 1a;
(b) the alternative internal model approach set out in Chapter 1b. 1b for those positions assigned to trading desks for which the institution has been granted permission by its competent authority to use that alternative approach as set out in Article 325az(1);
(c) the simplified standardised approach referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, provided that the institution meets the conditions set out in Article 325a(1).
By way of derogation from the first subparagraph, an institution shall not calculate own funds requirements for foreign exchange risk for trading book positions and non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange risk where those positions are deducted from the institution’s own funds. The institution shall document its use of the derogation set out in this subparagraph, including its impact and materiality, and make the information available, upon request, to its competent authority.
2. The own funds requirements for market risk calculated in accordance with the simplified standardised approach shall be the sum of the following own funds requirements, as applicable:
(a) the own funds requirements for position risk referred to in Chapter 2, multiplied by:
(i) 1,3, for the general and specific risks of positions in debt instruments, excluding securitisation instruments as referred to in Article 337;
(ii) 3,5, for the general and specific risks of positions in equity instruments;
(b) the own funds requirements for foreign exchange risk referred to in Chapter 3, multiplied by 1,2;
(c) the own funds requirements for commodity risk referred to in Chapter 4, multiplied by 1,9;
(d) the own funds requirements for securitisation instruments as referred to in Article 337.
3. An institution using the alternative internal model approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (b), of this Article to calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of trading book positions and non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange risk or commodity risk shall report to its competent authority the monthly calculation of the own funds requirements for market risk using the alternative standardised approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), of this Article for each trading desk to which those positions have been assigned in accordance with Article 104b.
4. An institution may use a combination of the alternative standardised approach referred to in combination paragraph 1, point (a), of this Article and the approaches set out alternative internal model approach referred to in points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1 1, point (b), of this Article on a permanent basis within basis, provided that the total own funds requirements for market risk calculated using the alternative internal model approach represent at least 10 % of the total own funds requirements for market risk. On an individual basis, an institution shall not use either of those approaches in combination with the simplified standardised approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (c), of this Article. At consolidated level, an institution may use a group combination of those three approaches to calculate the own funds requirements for market risk in accordance with Article 363. 325b(4), point (b), as long as the simplified standardised approach is not used in combination with the other two approaches within a single legal entity.
5. Institutions An institution shall not use the alternative internal model approach set out referred to in paragraph 1, point (b) of paragraph 3 (b), for instruments in their its trading book that are securitisation positions or positions included in the alternative correlation trading portfolio (ACTP) as set out in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8.
6. Securitisation positions and nth-to-default credit derivatives that meet all the following criteria shall be included in the ACTP:
(a) the positions are neither re-securitisation positions, nor options on a securitisation tranche, nor any other derivatives of securitisation exposures that do not provide a pro-rata share in the proceeds of a securitisation tranche;
(b) all their underlying instruments are:
(i) single-name instruments, including single-name credit derivatives, for which a liquid two-way market exists;
(ii) commonly-traded indices based on the instruments referred to in point (i).
A two-way market is considered to exist where there are independent bona fide offers to buy and sell, so that a price that is reasonably related to the last sales price or current bona fide competitive bid and offer quotations can be determined within one day and settled at that price within a relatively short time conforming to trade custom.
7. Positions with any of the following underlying instruments shall not be included in the ACTP:
(a) underlying instruments that are assigned to the exposure classes referred to in point (h) or (i) of Article 112;
(b) a claim on a special purpose entity, collateralised, directly or indirectly, by a position that, in accordance with paragraph 6, would itself not be eligible for inclusion in the ACTP.
8. Institutions may include in the ACTP positions that are neither securitisation positions nor nth-to-default credit derivatives but that hedge other positions in that portfolio, provided that a liquid two-way market as described in the second subparagraph of paragraph 6 exists for the instrument or its underlying instruments.
9. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify how institutions are to calculate the own funds requirements for market risk for non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange risk or commodity risk in accordance with the approaches set out in paragraph 1, points (a) and (b), of this Article, taking into account the requirements set out in Article 104b(5) and (6), where applicable.

Institutions shall independently review the alternative standardised approach they use for the purposes of this Chapter to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, either as part of their regular internal auditing process, or by mandating a third-party undertaking to conduct that review. The outcome of such a review shall be reported to the appropriate management bodies. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, third-party undertaking means an undertaking that provides auditing or consulting services to institutions and that has staff with sufficient skills in the area of market risk. 6. The review of the alternative standardised approach referred to in paragraph 5 shall cover the activities of both the business trading units and of the independent risk control unit and shall assess at least the following: (a) the internal policies, procedures and controls for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the requirements referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article; (b) the adequacy of the documentation of the risk management system and processes and the organisation of the risk control unit referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article; (c) the accuracy of sensitivity computations and of the process used to derive those computations from the institution’s pricing models that serve as a basis for reporting profit and loss to senior management, as referred to in Article 325t; (d) the verification process that the institution employs to evaluate the consistency, timeliness and reliability of the data sources used in the calculation of the own funds requirements for market risk using the alternative standardised approach, including the independence of those data sources. An institution shall conduct the review referred to in the first subparagraph at least once a year, or on a less frequent basis of up to every two years where the institution can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the size, systemic importance, nature, scale and complexity of its trading book business justifies a less frequent review. 7. Competent authorities shall verify that the calculation referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, including the implementation by an institution of the requirements set out in this Chapter and in Article 325a, is performed with integrity. 8. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the assessment methodology under which competent authorities conduct the verification referred to in paragraph 7; EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 July 2028. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 1 now ties the look-through and mandate-based approaches to whether an institution meets the conditions in Article 104(8), points (a) and (b), rather than to whether it can obtain sufficient information about underlying exposures, and the look-through calculation is to be performed on a monthly basis; the former stand-alone treatment of the mandate-limits approach is now split off into a new paragraph 1a, and the option to allocate a CIU to the non-trading book when neither condition is met has been removed from paragraph 1 and is replaced by a rule in paragraph 5 requiring positions to be assigned to the non-trading book when the Article 132(3) conditions are not met.
New paragraph 1a sets out separately the default-risk and residual-risk add-on treatment for CIU positions using the mandate-based approaches, including a specific instruction to treat positions under the single-equity-position approach as an unrated equity position in the unrated bucket under Article 325y(1), Table 2, and requires the same approach to be used consistently for all positions in the same CIU when calculating own funds requirements on a stand-alone basis.
Paragraph 4 has been rewritten to require calculation of own funds requirements for market risk by determining the hypothetical portfolio attracting the highest requirements under Article 325c(2), point (a), with that same hypothetical portfolio then used for default risk and residual risk add-on calculations, and to require competent-authority approval of the institution's methodology, replacing the former descending-order maximum-total-loss-limit calculation method, while a new paragraph 6 introduces conditions under which institutions may rely on a third party to perform the look-through calculation.

Article 325j
Treatment of collective investment undertakings
1. An institution shall calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of a position in a CIU using one of the following approaches:
(a) where an institution is able to obtain sufficient information about that meets the individual underlying exposures of the CIU, the institution condition set out in Article 104(8), point (a), shall calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of that CIU position by looking through to the underlying positions of the CIU CIU, on a monthly basis, as if those positions were directly held by the institution;
(b) where an institution that meets the institution is not able to obtain sufficient information about the individual underlying exposures of the CIU, but the institution has knowledge of the content the mandate of the CIU and daily price quotes for the CIU can be obtained, the institution condition set out in Article 104(8), point (b), shall calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of that CIU position by using one either of the following approaches:
(i) the institution may it shall consider the position in the CIU as a single equity position allocated to the bucket other sector in Article 325ap(1), Table 8 of Article 325ap(1); 8;
(ii) upon permission from its competent authority, an institution may calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of the CIU in accordance with it shall consider the limits set in the CIU’s mandate and in the relevant law;
(c) where law.
For the purposes of the calculation referred to in the first subparagraph, point (b)(ii), of this paragraph the institution meets neither the conditions in point (a) nor (b), the institution shall allocate the CIU to the non-trading book.
An institution that uses one of the approaches set out in point (b) shall apply the own funds requirement for the default risk set out in Section 5 of this Chapter and the residual risk add-on set out in Section 4 of this Chapter where the mandate of the CIU implies that some exposures in the CIU shall be subject to those own funds requirements.
An institution that uses the approach set out in point (ii) of point (b) may calculate the own funds requirements for counterparty credit risk and own funds requirements for credit valuation adjustment risk of derivative positions of the CIU, CIU using the simplified approach set out in Article 132a(3).
1a. For the purposes of the approaches referred to in paragraph 3 1, point (b), of this Article 132a. the institution shall:
(a) apply the own funds requirements for default risk set out in Section 5 and the residual risk add-on set out in Section 4 to a position in a CIU, where the mandate of that CIU allows it to invest in exposures that shall be subject to those own funds requirements; when using the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (b)(i), of this Article the institution shall consider the position in the CIU as a single unrated equity position allocated to the bucket unrated in Article 325y(1), Table 2; and
(b) for all positions in the same CIU, use the same approach among the approaches set out in paragraph 1, point (b), of this Article to calculate the own funds requirements on a stand-alone basis as a separate portfolio.
2. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where an institution has a position in a CIU that tracks an index benchmark so that the annualised return difference between the CIU and the tracked index benchmark over the last 12 months is below 1 % in absolute terms, ignoring fees and commissions, the institution may treat that position as a position in the tracked index benchmark. An institution shall verify compliance with that condition when the institution enters into the position and, after that, at least annually.
However, where data for the last 12 months are not fully available, an institution may, subject to permission from the institution’s competent authority, use an annualised return difference from a period shorter than 12 months.
3. An institution may use a combination of the approaches referred to in paragraph 1, points (a), (b) (a) and (c) of paragraph 1 (b), for its positions in CIUs. However, an institution shall use only one of those approaches for all the positions in the same CIU.
4. For the purposes of point (b) of paragraph 1, point (b)(ii), of this Article an institution shall carry out the calculations under the following provisions:
(a) for the purposes of calculating calculate the own funds requirement under requirements for market risk by determining the sensitivities-based method set out in Section 2 hypothetical portfolio of this Chapter, the CIU shall first take position to the maximum extent allowed under its mandate or relevant law in the exposures attracting that would attract the highest own funds requirements set out under that Section and shall then continue in accordance with Article 325c(2), point (a), based on the CIU’s mandate or relevant law, taking positions in descending order until into account the leverage to the maximum total loss limit is reached;
(b) for extent, where applicable.
The institution shall use the purposes of same hypothetical portfolio as the one referred to in the first subparagraph to calculate, where applicable, the own fund funds requirements for the default risk set out in Section 5 of this Chapter, and the CIU shall first take position to the maximum extent allowed under its mandate or relevant law in the exposures attracting the highest own funds requirements residual risk add-on set out under that in Section and shall then continue taking positions 4 to a position in descending order until a CIU.
The methodology developed by the maximum total loss limit is reached;
(c) institution to determine the CIU shall apply leverage to the maximum extent allowed under its mandate or relevant law, where applicable.
The own funds requirements for hypothetical portfolios of all positions in the same CIU CIUs for which the calculations referred to in the first subparagraph are used shall be calculated on a stand-alone basis as a separate portfolio using the approach set out in this Chapter. approved by its competent authority.
5. An institution may use the approaches referred to in point (a) or (b) of paragraph 1 only where the CIU meets all of the conditions set out in Article 132(3) 132(3). Where the CIU does not meet all of the conditions set out in Article 132(3), the institution shall assign its positions in that CIU to the non-trading book.
6. To calculate the own funds requirements for market risk of a CIU position in accordance with the approach set out in paragraph 1, point (a), institutions may rely on a third party to perform such calculation, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
(a) the third party is one of the following:
(i) the depository institution or the depository financial institution of the CIU, provided that the CIU exclusively invests in securities and deposits all securities at that depository institution or depository financial institution;
(ii) for CIUs not covered by point (a) (i) of this point, the CIU management company, provided that the CIU management company meets the criteria set out in Article 132(4). 132(3), point (a);
(iii) a third-party vendor on condition that the data, information or risk metrics are provided or calculated by the third parties referred to in point (i) or (ii) of this point or by another such third-party vendor;
(b) the third party provides the institution with the data, information or risk metrics to calculate the own funds requirement for market risk of the CIU position in accordance with the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), of this Article;
(c) an external auditor of the institution has confirmed the adequacy of the third-party’s data, information or risk metrics referred to in point (b) of this paragraph and the institution’s competent authority has unrestricted access to those data, information or risk metrics upon request.
7. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to further specify the technical elements of the methodology to determine hypothetical portfolios for the purposes of the approach set out in paragraph 4, including the manner in which institutions are to take into account in the methodology, where applicable, leverage to the maximum extent.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 January 2027.
Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

(a) for general interest rate risk and credit spread risk, institutions shall assume, for each currency, that the underlying of the volatility risk factors for which vega risk is calculated follows either a lognormal or normal distribution in the pricing models used for those instruments;
(b) for equity risk, commodity risk and foreign exchange risk, institutions shall assume that the underlying of the volatility risk factors for which vega risk is calculated follows a lognormal distribution in the pricing models used for those instruments.
4. Institutions shall calculate all sensitivities except for the sensitivities to credit valuation adjustments.
5. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, subject to the permission of the competent authorities, an institution may use alternative definitions of delta risk sensitivities in the calculation of the own funds requirements of a trading book position under this Chapter, provided that the institution meets all the following conditions:
(a) those alternative definitions are used for internal risk management purposes and or for the reporting of profits and losses to senior management by an independent risk control unit within the institution;
(b) the institution demonstrates that those alternative definitions are more appropriate for capturing the sensitivities for the position than are the formulas set out in this Subsection, and that the resulting sensitivities do not materially differ from those formulas.

Article 325u Own funds requirements for residual risks 1. In addition to the own funds requirements for market risk set out in Section 2, institutions shall apply additional own funds requirements to instruments exposed to residual risks in accordance with this Article. 2. Instruments are considered to be exposed to residual risks where they meet any of the following conditions: (a) the instrument references an exotic underlying, which, for the purposes of this Chapter, means a trading book instrument referencing an underlying exposure that is not in the scope of the delta, vega or curvature risk treatments under the sensitivities-based method laid down in Section 2 or the own funds requirements for the default risk set out in Section 5; (b) the instrument is an instrument bearing other residual risks, which, for the purposes of this Chapter, means any of the following instruments: (i) instruments that are subject to the own funds requirements for vega and curvature risk under the sensitivities-based method set out in Section 2 and that generate pay-offs that cannot be replicated as a finite linear combination of plain-vanilla options with a single underlying equity price, commodity price, exchange rate, bond price, credit default swap price or interest rate swap; (ii) instruments that are positions that are included in the ACTP referred to in Article 325(6); hedges that are included in that ACTP, as referred to in Article 325(8), shall not be considered. 3. Institutions shall calculate the additional own funds requirements referred to in paragraph 1 as the sum of gross notional amounts of the instruments referred to in paragraph 2, multiplied by the following risk weights: (a) 1,0 % in the case of instruments referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2; (b) 0,1 % in the case of instruments referred to in point (b) of paragraph 2. 4. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, institution shall not apply the own funds requirement for residual risks to an instrument that meets any of the following conditions: (a) the instrument is listed on a recognised exchange; (b) the instrument is eligible for central clearing in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 648/2012; (c) the instrument perfectly offsets the market risk of another position in the trading book, in which case the two perfectly matching trading book positions shall be exempted from the own funds requirement for residual risks. 4a. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, until 31 December 2032, an institution shall not apply the own funds requirement for residual risks to instruments that aim solely to hedge the market risk of positions in the trading book that generate an own funds requirement for residual risks and are subject to the same type of residual risks as the positions they hedge. The competent authority shall grant permission to apply the treatment referred to in the first subparagraph if the institution can demonstrate on an ongoing basis to the satisfaction of the competent authority that the instruments comply with the criteria to be treated as hedging positions. The institution shall report to the competent authority the result of the calculation of the own funds requirements for the residual risks for all instruments for which the derogation referred to in the first subparagraph is applied. 5. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify what an exotic underlying is and which instruments are instruments bearing residual risks for the purposes of paragraph 2. When developing those draft regulatory technical standards, EBA shall examine whether longevity risk, weather, natural disasters and future realised volatility should be considered as exotic underlyings. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 28 June 2021. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. 6. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the criteria that the institutions are to use to identify the positions qualifying for the derogation referred to in paragraph 4a. Those criteria shall include, at least, the nature of the instruments referred to in that paragraph, the net profit and loss of the combined positions, the sensitivities of the combined positions and the risks remaining unhedged in the combined positions, taking into account in particular the possibility that the original position can be hedged by a partial amount. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 30 June 2024. Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010. 7. By 31 December 2029, EBA shall submit a report to the Commission on the impact of the application of the treatment referred to in paragraph 4a.

Article 325v Definitions and general provisions 1. For the purposes of this Section, the following definitions apply: (a) short exposure means that the default of an issuer or group of issuers leads to a gain for the institution, regardless of the type of instrument or transaction creating the exposure; (b) long exposure means that the default of an issuer or group of issuers leads to a loss for the institution, regardless of the type of instrument or transaction creating the exposure; (c) gross jump-to-default (gross JTD) amount means the estimated size of the loss or gain that the default of the obligor would produce for a specific exposure; (d) net jump-to-default (net JTD) amount means the estimated size of the loss or gain that an institution would incur due to the default of an obligor, after offsetting between gross JTD amounts has taken place, (e) loss given default or LGD means the loss given default of the obligor on an instrument issued by that obligor expressed as a share of the notional amount of the instrument; (f) default risk weight means the percentage representing the estimated probability of the default of each obligor, according to the creditworthiness of that obligor. 2. Own funds requirements for the default risk shall apply to debt and equity instruments, to derivative instruments having those instruments as underlyings and to derivatives, the pay-offs or fair values of which are affected by the default of an obligor other than the counterparty to the derivative instrument itself. Institutions shall calculate default risk requirements separately for each of the following types of instruments: non-securitisations, securitisations that are not included in the ACTP, and securitisations that are included in the ACTP. The final own funds requirements for the default risk to be applied by institutions shall be the sum of those three components.3.

Article 325x Net jump-to-default amounts 1. Institutions shall calculate net JTD amounts by offsetting the gross JTD amounts of short exposures and long exposures. Offsetting shall only be possible between exposures to the same obligor where the short exposures have the same seniority as, or lower seniority than, the long exposures. 2. Offsetting shall be either full or partial, depending on the maturities of the offsetting exposures: (a) offsetting shall be full where all offsetting exposures have maturities of one year or more; (b) offsetting shall be partial where at least one of the offsetting exposures has a maturity of less than one year, in which case the size of the JTD amount of each exposure with a maturity of less than one year shall be multiplied by the ratio of the exposure's maturity relative to one year. 3. Where no offsetting is possible gross JTD amounts shall equal net JTD amounts in the case of exposures with maturities of one year or more. Gross JTD amounts with maturities of less than one year shall be multiplied by the ratio of the exposure's maturity relative to one year, with a floor of three months, to calculate net JTD amounts. 4. For the purposes of paragraphs 2 and 3, the maturities of the derivative contracts shall be considered, rather than those of their underlyings. Cash equity exposures shall be assigned a maturity of either one year or three months, at the institution's discretion.5. Where the contractual or legal terms of a derivative position having a debt or equity cash instrument as an underlying, and hedged with that debt or equity cash instrument, allow an institution to close out both legs of that position at the time of the expiry of the first-to-mature of the two legs with no exposure to default risk of the underlying, the net jump-to-default amount of the combined position shall be set equal to zero.

(a) for tranched non-tranched products, the default risk weights corresponding to their credit quality as specified in Article 325y(1) and (2);
(b) for non-tranched tranched products, the default risk weights referred to in Article 325aa(1).
2. Risk-weighted net JTD amounts shall be assigned to buckets that correspond to an index.
3. Weighted net JTD amounts shall be aggregated within each bucket in accordance with the following formula:
DRCb = max {(Σi ∈ long RWi · net JTDi) – WtSACTP · (Σi ∈ short RWi · |net JTDi|); 0}
where:
DRCb
the own funds requirement for the default risk for bucket b;
i
an instrument belonging to bucket b; and
WtSACTP
the ratio recognising a benefit for hedging relationships within a bucket, which shall be calculated in accordance with the WtS formula set out in Article 325y(4), but using long positions and short positions across the entire ACTP and not just the positions in the particular bucket.
4. Institutions shall calculate the own funds requirements for the default risk for the ACTP by using the following formula:
where:
DRCACTP
the own funds requirement for the default risk for the ACTP; and
DRCb

For the purposes of this Article, an overshooting means a one-day change in the value of a portfolio composed of all the positions assigned to the trading desk that exceeds the related value-at-risk … 461 unchanged words … to in Article 325ba for the portfolio of all the positions assigned to the trading desks for which it has been granted permission to use alternative internal models as referred to in Article 325az(2).
6. The multiplication factor (mc) shall be equal to at least the sum of the value of 1,5 and an add-on between 0 and 0,5 determined in accordance with Table 3. For the portfolio referred to in paragraph 5, that add-on shall be calculated on the basis of the number of overshootings that occurred over the most recent 250 business days as evidenced by the institution's institution’s back-testing of the value-at-risk number calculated in accordance with point (a) of this subparagraph. The calculation of the add-on shall be subject to the following requirements:
(a) an overshooting shall be a one-day change in the portfolio's value that exceeds the related value-at-risk number calculated by the institution's internal model in accordance with the following:
(i) a one-day holding period;
(ii) a 99th percentile, one tailed confidence interval;
(iii) scenarios of future shocks shall apply to the risk factors of the trading desks' positions referred to in Article 325bg(3) and which are considered modellable in accordance with Article 325be;
(iv) the data inputs used to determine the scenarios of future shocks applied to the modellable risk factors shall be calibrated to historical data referred to in point (c) of Article 325bc(4);
(v) unless stated otherwise in this Article, the institution's internal model shall be based on the same modelling assumptions as those used for the calculation of the expected shortfall risk measure referred to in point (a) of Article 325ba(1);
(b) the number of overshootings shall be equal to the greater of the number of overshootings under hypothetical and the actual changes in the value of the portfolio.

In extraordinary circumstances, competent authorities may permit an institution to do one or both of the following:
(a) limit the calculation of the add-on to that resulting from overshootings under the back-testing of hypothetical changes where the number of overshootings under the back-testing of actual changes does not result from deficiencies in the institution’s alternative internal model;
(b) exclude the overshootings evidenced by the back-testing of hypothetical or actual changes from the calculation of the add-on where those overshootings do not result from deficiencies in the institution’s alternative internal model.
For the purposes of the first subparagraph, competent authorities may increase the value of mc above the sum referred to in that subparagraph, where an institution’s alternative internal model shows deficiencies preventing the appropriate measurement of the own funds requirements for market risk.
7. Competent authorities shall monitor the appropriateness of the multiplication factor referred to in paragraph 5 and the compliance of trading desks with the back-testing requirements referred to in paragraph 3. Institutions shall promptly notify, the competent authorities of overshootings that result from their back-testing programme and provide an explanation for those overshootings, and in any case shall notify the competent authorities thereof no later than within five business days after the occurrence of an overshooting.
8. By way of derogation from paragraphs 2 and 6 of this Article, 6, competent authorities may permit an institution not to count an overshooting where a one-day change in the value of its portfolio that exceeds the related value-at-risk number calculated by that institution's institution’s internal model is attributable to a non-modellable risk factor. To do so, the institution shall demonstrate to its competent authority that the stress scenario risk measure calculated in accordance with Article 325bk for that non-modellable risk factor is higher than the positive difference between the change in the value of the institution's portfolio and the related value-at-risk number.
9. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the technical elements to be included in the actual and hypothetical changes to the value of the portfolio of an institution for the purposes of this Article.

applies from: unchanged
Paragraph 3 no longer refers to capturing material risks between a hedging instrument and the hedged instrument during the interval between the maturity of a hedging instrument and the one-year time horizon, and instead requires institutions to ensure that maturity mismatches between a hedging instrument and the hedged instrument occurring during the one-year time horizon, where not captured in the internal default risk model, do not lead to a material underestimation of risk.
The description of basis risks in hedging strategies retains the listed sources of difference (type of product, seniority in the capital structure, internal or external ratings, vintage and other differences) but drops maturity from that list, as maturity mismatches are now addressed separately.
The final sentence on recognising a hedging instrument only to the extent it can be maintained as the obligor approaches a credit event or other event is unchanged, but paragraph 3 is now split into three separate sentences rather than two.

Recognition of hedges in an internal default risk model
1. Institutions may incorporate hedges in their internal default risk model and may net positions where the long positions and short positions relate to the same financial instrument.
2. In their internal default risk models, institutions may only recognise hedging or diversification effects associated with long and short positions involving different instruments or different securities of the same obligor, as well as long and short positions in different issuers by explicitly modelling the gross long and short positions in the different instruments, including modelling of basis risks between different issuers.
3. In their internal default risk models, institutions shall capture material risks between a hedging instrument and the hedged instrument that could occur during the interval between the maturity of a hedging instrument and the one-year time horizon, as well as the potential for significant basis risks in hedging strategies that arise from differences in the type of product, seniority in the capital structure, internal or external ratings, maturity, vintage and other differences. Institutions shall ensure that maturity mismatches between a hedging instrument and the hedged instrument that could occur during the one-year time horizon, where those mismatches are not captured in their internal default risk model, do not lead to a material underestimation of risk.
Institutions shall recognise a hedging instrument only to the extent that it can be maintained even as the obligor approaches a credit event or other event.

7. As part of the independent review and validation of the internal models that they use for the purposes of this Chapter, including for the risk-measurement system, institutions shall:
(a) verify that their approach for the modelling of correlations and price changes is appropriate for their portfolio, including the choice and weights of the systematic risk factors in the model;
(b) perform a variety of stress tests, including sensitivity analyses and scenario analyses, to assess the qualitative and quantitative reasonableness of the internal default risk model, in particular with regard to the treatment of concentrations; and
(c) apply appropriate quantitative validation including relevant internal modelling benchmarks.
The tests referred to in point (b) shall not be limited to the range of past events experienced.
8. The internal default risk model shall appropriately reflect issuer concentrations and concentrations that can arise within and across product classes under stressed conditions.
9. The internal default risk model shall be consistent with the institution's internal risk management methodologies for identifying, measuring, and managing trading risks.
10. Institutions shall have clearly defined policies and procedures for determining the default assumptions for correlations between different issuers in accordance with point (c) of Article 325bn(1) and the preferred choice of method for estimating the default probabilities in point (e) of paragraph 5 of this Article and the loss given default in point (d) of paragraph 6 of this Article.

Article 382a Approaches for calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk 1. An institution shall calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk for all transactions referred to in Article 382 in accordance with the following approaches: (a) the standardised approach set out in Article 383, where the institution has been granted permission by the competent authority to use that approach; (b) the basic approach set out in Article 384; (c) the simplified approach set out in Article 385, provided that the institution meets the conditions set out in paragraph 1 of that Article. 2. An institution shall not use the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (c), in combination with the approach referred to in point (a) or (b) of that paragraph. 3. An institution may use a combination of the approaches referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) and (b), to calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk on a permanent basis for: (a) different counterparties; (b) different eligible netting sets with the same counterparty; (c) different transactions of the same eligible netting set, provided that any of the conditions referred to in paragraph 5 are satisfied. 4. For the purposes of paragraph 3, point (c), institutions shall split the eligible netting set into a hypothetical netting set containing the transactions subject to the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), and a hypothetical netting set containing the transactions subject to the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (b). 5. For the purposes of paragraph 3, point (c), the conditions referred to therein shall comprise the following: (a) the split is consistent with the treatment of the legal netting set when calculating the CVA for accounting purposes; (b) the permission granted by competent authorities to use the approach referred to in paragraph 1, point (a), is limited to the corresponding hypothetical netting set and does not cover all transactions within the eligible netting set. Institutions shall document how they use a combination of the approaches referred to in paragraph 1, points (a) and (b), and as set out in this paragraph, to calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk on a permanent basis.

dates removed: 2014-01-01
The provision was renamed from 'Advanced method' to 'Standardised approach' and its entire content was replaced: the earlier version set out a detailed internal-model formula for calculating CVA own funds requirements based on credit spreads, expected exposure and discount factors, while the new version instead sets out permission requirements an institution must satisfy for competent authority approval to use a standardised approach, defines risk classes and CVA portfolio terms, and states that own funds requirements are the sum of delta risk and vega risk requirements calculated under Article 383b.
The prior seven paragraphs covering the advanced internal model, its formulae, margined trading treatment, IMM permission provisions, stressed value-at-risk calculation, proxy spread handling, and EBA regulatory technical standards have all been removed and replaced with three new paragraphs referencing newly introduced Articles 383a, 383b, 383i and 383j.

Article 383
Advanced method
1. An institution which has permission to use an internal model for the specific risk of debt instruments in accordance with point (d) of Article 363 (1) shall, for all transactions for which it has permission to use the IMM for determining the exposure value for the associated counterparty credit risk exposure in accordance with Article 283, determine the own funds requirements for CVA risk by modelling the impact of changes in the counterparties' credit spreads on the CVAs of all counterparties of those transactions, taking into account CVA hedges that are eligible in accordance with Article 386.
An institution shall use its internal model for determining the own funds requirements for the specific risk associated with traded debt positions and shall apply a 99 % confidence interval and a 10-day equivalent holding period. The internal model shall be used in such way that it simulates changes in the credit spreads of counterparties, but does not model the sensitivity of CVA to changes in other market factors, including changes in the value of the reference asset, commodity, currency or interest rate of a derivative.
The own funds requirements for CVA risk for each counterparty shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:CVALGDMKT Ti1 max 0,exp si 1 ti 1LGDMKT exp si tiLGDMKT EEi 1 Di 1 EEi Di2
where:
ti
the time of the i-th revaluation, starting from t0=0;
tT
the longest contractual maturity across the netting sets with the counterparty;
si
is the credit spread of the counterparty at tenor ti, used to calculate the CVA of the counterparty. Where the credit default swap spread of the counterparty is available, an institution shall use that spread. Where such a credit default swap spread is not available, an institution shall use a proxy spread that is appropriate having regard to the rating, industry and region of the counterparty;
LGDMKT
the LGD of the counterparty that shall be based on the spread of a market instrument of the counterparty if a counterparty instrument is available. Where a counterparty instrument is not available, it shall be based on the proxy spread that is appropriate having regard to the rating, industry and region of the counterparty.
The first factor within the sum represents an approximation of the market implied marginal probability of a default occurring between times ti-1 and ti;
EEi
the expected exposure to the counterparty at revaluation time ti, where exposures of different netting sets for such counterparty are added, and where the longest maturity of each netting set is given by the longest contractual maturity inside the netting set; An institution shall apply the treatment set out in paragraph 3 in the case of margined trading, if the institution uses the EPE measure referred to in point (a) or (b) of Article 285(1) for margined trades;
Di
the default risk-free discount factor at time ti, where D0 =1.
2. When calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk for a counterparty, an institution shall base all inputs into its internal model for specific risk of debt instruments on the following formulae (whichever is appropriate):
(a) where the model is based on full repricing, the formula in paragraph 1 shall be used directly;
(b) where the model is based on credit spread sensitivities for specific tenors, an institution shall base each credit spread sensitivity ('Regulatory CS01') on the following formula:
Regulatory CS01i0.0001 ti exp si tiLGDMKT EEi 1 Di 1 EEi 1 Di 12
For the final time bucket i=T, the corresponding formula is
Regulatory CS01T0.0001 tT expsT tTLGDMKT EET 1 DT 1 EET DT2
(c) where the model uses credit spread sensitivities to parallel shifts in credit spreads, an institution shall use the following formula:
Regulatory CS01 0.0001 Ti1ti expsi tiLGDMKT ti 1 expsi 1 ti 1LGDMKT EEi 1 Di 1EEi Di2
(d) where the model uses second-order sensitivities to shifts in credit spreads (spread gamma), the gammas shall be calculated based on the formula in paragraph 1.
3. An institution using the EPE measure for collateralised OTC derivatives referred to in point (a) or (b) of Article 285(1) shall, when determining the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with paragraph 1, do both of the following:
(a) assume a constant EE profile;
(b) set EE equal to the effective expected exposure as calculated under Article 285(1)(b) for a maturity equal to the greater of the following:
(i) half of the longest maturity occurring in the netting set;
(ii) the notional weighted average maturity of all transactions inside the netting set.
4. An institution which is permitted by the competent authority in accordance with Article 283 to use IMM to calculate exposure values in relation to the majority of its business, but which uses the methods set out in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 of Title II, Chapter 6 for smaller portfolios, and which has permission to use the market risk internal model for the specific risk of debt instruments in accordance with point (d) of Article 363(1) may, subject to permission from the competent authorities, calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with paragraph 1 for the non-IMM netting sets. Competent authorities shall grant this permission only if the institution uses the methods set out in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 of Title II, Chapter 6 for a limited number of smaller portfolios.
For the purposes of a calculation under the preceding subparagraph and where the IMM model does not produce an expected exposure profile, an institution shall do both of the following:
(a) assume a constant EE profile;
(b) set EE equal to the exposure value as computed under the methods set out in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 of Title II, Chapter 6, or IMM for a maturity equal to the greater of:
(i) half of the longest maturity occurring in the netting set;
(ii) the notional weighted average maturity of all transactions inside the netting set.
5. An institution shall determine the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with Article 364(1) and Articles 365 and 367 as the sum of non-stressed and stressed value-at-risk, which shall be calculated as follows:
(a) for the non-stressed value-at-risk, current parameter calibrations for expected exposure as set out in the first subparagraph of Article 292(2), shall be used;
(b) for the stressed value-at-risk, future counterparty EE profiles using a stressed calibration as set out in the second subparagraph of Article 292(2) shall be used. The period of stress for the credit spread parameters shall be the most severe one-year stress period contained within the three-year stress period used for the exposure parameters;
(c) the three-times multiplication factor used in the calculation of own funds requirements based on a value-at-risk and a stressed value-at-risk in accordance with 364(1) will apply to these calculations. EBA shall monitor for consistency any supervisory discretion used to apply a higher multiplication factor than that three-times multiplication factor to the value-at-risk and stressed value-at-risk inputs to the CVA risk charge. Competent authorities applying a multiplication factor higher than three shall provide a written justification to EBA;
(d) the calculation shall be carried out on at least a monthly basis and the EE that is used shall be calculated on the same frequency. If lower than a daily frequency is used, for the purpose of the calculation specified in points (a)(ii) and (b)(ii) of Article 364(1) institutions shall take the average over three months.
6. For exposures to a counterparty, for which the institution's approved internal model for the specific risk of debt instruments does not produce a proxy spread that is appropriate with respect to the criteria of rating, industry and region of the counterparty, the institution shall use the method set out in Article 384 to calculate the own funds requirement for CVA risk.
7. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify in greater detail:
(a) how a proxy spread is to be determined by the institution's approved internal model for the specific risk of debt instruments for the purposes of identifying si and LGDMKT referred to in paragraph 1;
(b) the number and size of portfolios that fulfil the criterion of a limited number of smaller portfolios referred to in paragraph 4.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 1 January 2014.
Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Article 383 Standardised approach 1. The competent authority shall grant an institution permission to calculate its own funds requirements for CVA risk for a portfolio of transactions with one or more counterparties by using the standardised approach in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Article, after having assessed whether the institution complies with the following requirements: (a) the institution has established a distinct unit which is responsible for the institution’s overall risk management and hedging of CVA risk; (b) for each counterparty concerned, the institution has developed a regulatory CVA model to calculate the CVA of that counterparty in accordance with Article 383a; (c) for each counterparty concerned, the institution is able to calculate, at least on a monthly basis, the sensitivities of its CVA to the risk factors concerned as determined in accordance with Article 383b; (d) for all positions in eligible hedges recognised in accordance with Article 386 for the purpose of calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the standardised approach, the institution is able to calculate, and at least on a monthly basis, the sensitivities of those positions to the relevant risk factors determined in accordance with Article 383b; (e) the institution has established a risk control unit that is independent from business trading units and the unit referred to in point (a) and that reports directly to the management body; that risk control unit shall be responsible for designing and implementing the standardised approach and shall produce and analyse monthly reports on the output of that approach and, moreover, the risk control unit shall assess the appropriateness of the institution’s trading limits and include the results of that assessment in its monthly reports; the risk control unit shall have a sufficient number of staff with a level of skills that is appropriate to fulfil its purpose. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (c), of this paragraph the sensitivity of a counterparty’s CVA to a risk factor means the relative change in the value of that CVA, as a result of a change in the value of one of the relevant risk factors of that CVA, calculated using the institution’s regulatory CVA model in accordance with Articles 383i and 383j. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (d), of this paragraph the sensitivity of a position in an eligible hedge to a risk factor means the relative change in the value of that position, as a result of a change in the value of one of the relevant risk factors of that position, calculated using the institution’s pricing model in accordance with Articles 383i and 383j. 2. For the purpose of calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk, the following definitions apply: (1) risk class means any of the following categories: (a) interest rate risk; (b) counterparty credit spread risk; (c) reference credit spread risk; (d) equity risk; (e) commodity risk; (f) foreign exchange risk; (2) CVA portfolio means the portfolio composed of the aggregate CVA and the eligible hedges referred to in paragraph 1, point (d); (3) aggregate CVA means the sum of the CVAs calculated using the regulatory CVA model for the counterparties referred to in paragraph 1, first subparagraph. 3. Institutions shall determine the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the standardised approach as the sum of the following own funds requirements calculated in accordance with Article 383b: (a) the own funds requirements for delta risk which capture the risk of changes in the institution’s CVA portfolio due to movements in the relevant non-volatility related risk factors; (b) the own funds requirements for vega risk which capture the risk of changes in the institution’s CVA portfolio due to movements in the relevant volatility related risk factors.

Article 383a Regulatory CVA model 1. A regulatory CVA model used for calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with Article 383 shall be conceptually sound, implemented with integrity, and comply with all of the following requirements: (a) the regulatory CVA model is capable of modelling the CVA of a given counterparty, recognising netting and margin agreements at netting set level, where relevant, in accordance with this Article; (b) the institution estimates the counterparty’s probabilities of default from the counterparty credit spreads and market-consensus expected loss given default for that counterparty; (c) the expected loss given default referred to in point (a) shall be the same as the market-consensus expected loss given default referred to in point (b), unless the institution can demonstrate that the seniority of the portfolio of transactions with that counterparty differs from the seniority of senior unsecured bonds issued by that counterparty; (d) at each future time point, the simulated discounted future exposure of the portfolio of transactions with a counterparty is calculated with an exposure model by repricing all transactions in that portfolio, based on the simulated joint changes of the market risk factors that are material to those transactions using an appropriate number of scenarios, and discounting the prices to the date of calculation using risk-free interest rates; (e) the regulatory CVA model is capable of modelling significant dependency between the simulated discounted future exposure of the portfolio of transactions and the counterparty credit spreads; (f) where the transactions of the portfolio are included in a netting set subject to a margin agreement and daily mark-to-market valuation, the collateral posted and received as part of that agreement is recognised as a risk mitigant in the simulated discounted future exposure, where all of the following conditions are met: (i) the institution determines the margin period of risk relevant for that netting set in accordance with the requirements set out in Article 285(2) and (5), and reflects that margin period in the calculation of the simulated discounted future exposure; (ii) all applicable features of the margin agreement, including the frequency of margin calls, the type of contractually eligible collateral, the threshold amounts, the minimum transfer amounts, the independent amounts and the initial margins for both the institution and the counterparty are appropriately reflected in the calculation of the simulated discounted future exposure; (iii) the institution has established a collateral management unit that complies with Article 287 for all collateral recognised for calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the standardised approach. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (a), CVA shall have a positive sign and shall be calculated as a function of the counterparty’s expected loss given default, an appropriate set of the counterparty’s probabilities of default at future time points and an appropriate set of simulated discounted future exposures of the portfolio of transactions with that counterparty at future time points until the maturity of the longest transaction in that portfolio. For the purposes of the demonstration referred to in the first subparagraph, point (c), collateral received from the counterparty shall not change the seniority of the exposure. For the purposes of the first subparagraph, point (f)(iii), of this paragraph where the institution has already established a collateral management unit for using the internal model method referred to in Article 283, the institution shall not be required to establish an additional collateral management unit where that institution demonstrates to its competent authority that such a unit complies with the requirements set out in Article 287 for the collateral recognised for calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the standardised approach. 2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, point (b), where the credit default swap spreads of the counterparty are observable in the market, an institution shall use those spreads. Where such credit default swap spreads are not available, an institution shall use one of the following: (a) credit spreads from other instruments issued by the counterparty reflecting current market conditions; (b) proxy spreads that are appropriate considering the rating, industry and region of the counterparty. 3. An institution using a regulatory CVA model shall comply with all of the following qualitative requirements: (a) the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 is part of the institution’s internal CVA risk management system that includes the identification, measurement, management, approval and internal reporting of CVA and CVA risk for accounting purposes; (b) the institution has in place a process for ensuring compliance with a documented set of internal policies, controls, assessment of model performance and procedures concerning the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1; (c) the institution shall have an independent validation unit that is responsible for the effective initial and ongoing validation of the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article; that unit shall be independent from business credit and trading units, including the unit referred to in Article 383(1), point (a), and report directly to senior management; it shall have a sufficient number of staff with a level of skills that is appropriate to fulfil that purpose; (d) the senior management shall be actively involved in the risk control process and shall regard CVA risk control as an essential aspect of the business, to which appropriate resources need to be devoted; (e) the institution shall document the process for initial and ongoing validation of the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 to a level of detail that would enable a third party to understand how the models operate, their limitations, and their key assumptions, and recreate the analysis; that documentation shall set out the minimum frequency with which ongoing validation will be conducted, as well as other circumstances, such as a sudden change in market behaviour, under which additional validation shall be conducted; it shall describe how the validation is conducted with respect to data flows and portfolios, what analyses are used and how representative counterparty portfolios are constructed; (f) the pricing models used in the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 for a given scenario of simulated market risk factors shall be tested against appropriate independent benchmarks for a wide range of market states as part of the initial and ongoing model validation process; pricing models for options shall account for the non-linearity of option value with respect to market risk factors; (g) an independent review of the institution’s internal CVA risk management system referred to in point (a) of this paragraph shall be carried out by the institution’s internal auditing process on a regular basis; that review shall include the activities both of the unit referred to in Article 383(1), point (a), and of the independent validation unit referred to in point (c) of this paragraph; (h) the regulatory CVA model used by the institution for calculating the simulated discounted future exposure referred to in paragraph 1, shall reflect transaction terms and specifications and margin agreements in a timely, complete, and conservative manner; the terms and specifications shall reside in a secure database subject to formal and periodic audit; the transmission of transaction terms and specifications data and margin agreements to the exposure model shall also be subject to internal audit, and formal reconciliation processes shall be in place between the internal model and source data systems to verify on an ongoing basis that transaction terms, specifications and margin agreements are being reflected in the exposure system correctly or, at least, conservatively; (i) the current and historical market data inputs used in the model by the institution for calculating the simulated discounted future exposure referred to in paragraph 1 shall be acquired independently of the business lines and fed into that model in a timely and complete manner and maintained in a secure database subject to formal and periodic audit; an institution shall have a well-developed data integrity process to handle inappropriate data observations; where the model relies on proxy market data, an institution shall design internal policies to identify suitable proxies and shall demonstrate empirically on an ongoing basis that the proxies provide a conservative representation of the underlying risk; (j) the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 shall capture the transaction specific and contractual information necessary in order to aggregate exposures at the level of the netting set; an institution shall verify that transactions are assigned to the appropriate netting set within the model. For the purpose of calculating the own funds requirements for CVA risk, the exposure model referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article may have different specifications and assumptions in order to meet all requirements laid down in Article 383a, except that its market data inputs and netting recognition shall remain the same as the ones used for accounting purposes. 4. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify: (a) how proxy spreads referred to in paragraph 2, point (b), are to be determined by the institution for the purposes of calculating default probabilities; (b) further technical elements that institutions are to take into account when calculating the counterparty’s expected loss given default, the counterparty’s probabilities of default and the simulated discounted future exposure of the portfolio of transactions with that counterparty and CVA, as referred to in paragraph 1; (c) which other instruments referred to in paragraph 2, point (a), are appropriate to estimate the counterparty’s probabilities of default and how institutions are to make that estimate.

This is a newly inserted article setting out a detailed methodology for calculating own funds requirements for delta and vega risks, covering the application of specified risk factors, sensitivity calculations for CVAs and eligible hedges, treatment of index instruments and qualified index risk factors, weighting formulae, and aggregation of net-weighted and bucket-specific sensitivities into risk-class specific requirements.

Article 383b Own funds requirements for delta and vega risks 1. Institutions shall apply the delta and vega risk factors described in Articles 383c to 383h, and the process set out in paragraphs 2 to 8 of this Article, to calculate the own funds requirements for delta and vega risks. 2. For each risk class referred to in Article 383(2), the sensitivity of the aggregate CVAs and the sensitivity of all positions in eligible hedges falling within the scope of the own funds requirements for delta or vega risk to each of the applicable delta or vega risk factors included in that risk class shall be calculated by using the corresponding formulae set out in Articles 383i and 383j. Where the value of an instrument depends on several risk factors, the sensitivity shall be determined separately for each risk factor. For the calculation of the vega risk sensitivities of the aggregate CVAs, sensitivities both to volatilities used in the exposure model to simulate risk factors and to volatilities used to reprice option transactions in the portfolio with the counterparty shall be included. By way of derogation from paragraph 1 of this Article, subject to the permission of the competent authority, an institution may use alternative definitions of delta and vega risk sensitivities in the calculation of the own funds requirements of a trading book position under this Chapter, provided that the institution meets all of the following conditions: (a) those alternative definitions are used for internal risk management purposes or for the reporting of profits and losses to senior management by an independent risk control unit within the institution; (b) the institution demonstrates that those alternative definitions are more appropriate for capturing the sensitivities of the position than the formulae set out in Articles 383i and 383j, and that the resulting delta and vega risk sensitivities do not materially differ from the ones obtained applying the formulae set out in Articles 383i and 383j, respectively. 3. Where an eligible hedge is an index instrument, institutions shall calculate the sensitivities of that eligible hedge to all relevant risk factors by applying the shift of one of the relevant risk factors to each of the index constituents. 4. An institution may introduce additional risk factors that correspond to qualified index instruments for the following risk classes: (a) counterparty credit spread risk; (b) reference credit spread risk; and (c) equity risk. For the purposes of delta risks, an index instrument shall be considered qualified where it meets the conditions set out in Article 325i. For vega risks, all index instruments shall be considered qualified. An institution shall calculate sensitivities of CVA and eligible hedges to qualified index risk factors in addition to sensitivities to the non-index risk factors. An institution shall calculate delta and vega risk sensitivities to a qualified index risk factor as a single sensitivity to the underlying qualified index. Where 75 % of the constituents of a qualified index are mapped to the same sector as set out in Articles 383p, 383s and 383v, the institution shall map the qualified index to that same sector. Otherwise, the institution shall map the sensitivity to the applicable qualified index bucket. 5.

The net-weighted sensitivities within the same bucket shall be aggregated in accordance with the following formula, using the corresponding correlations ρkl to weighted sensitivities within the same bucket set out in Articles 383l, 383t and 383q giving rise to the bucket-specific sensitivity Kb: where: Kb = the bucket-specific sensitivity of bucket b; WSk = the net-weighted sensitivities; ρkl = the corresponding intra-bucket correlation parameters; R = the hedging disallowance parameter equal to 0,01. 8. The bucket-specific sensitivity shall be calculated in accordance with paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of this Article for each bucket within a risk class. Once the bucket-specific sensitivity has been calculated for all buckets, weighted sensitivities to all risk factors across buckets shall be aggregated in accordance with the following formula, using the corresponding correlations γbc for weighted sensitivities in different buckets set out in Articles 383l, 383o, 383r, 383u, 383w and 383z giving rise to the risk-class specific own funds requirements for delta or vega risk: where: mCVA = a multiplier factor which is equal to 1; the competent authority may increase the value of mCVA where the institution’s regulatory CVA model shows deficiencies preventing the appropriate measurement of the own funds requirements for CVA risk; Kb = the bucket-specific sensitivity of bucket b; γbc = the correlation parameter between buckets b and c; for all risk factors in bucket b; for all risk factors in bucket c.

Otherwise, the risk weights for unrated exposures shall be applied. 2. Risk weights for reference credit spread volatilities shall be set at 100 %. 3. To assign a risk exposure to a sector, institutions shall rely on a classification that is commonly used in the market for grouping issuers by sector. Institutions shall assign each issuer to only one of the sector buckets in Table 1. Risk exposures from any issuer that an institution cannot assign to a sector in such a manner shall be assigned to bucket 20 in Table 1. 4. Institutions shall assign to buckets 11 and 19 only exposures that reference qualified indices as referred to in Article 383b(4). 5. Institutions shall use a look-through approach to determine the sensitivities of an exposure referencing a non-qualified index.

The later version introduces new defined terms and calculation elements, including a basic approach total figure combining hedged and unhedged components with fixed coefficients, risk weights mapped by sector and credit quality via new Table 1, and correlation factors for single-name hedges via new Table 2, none of which appear in the earlier text.

Article 384 Standardised method 1. An institution which does not calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk for its counterparties in accordance with Article 383 shall calculate a portfolio own funds requirements for CVA risk for each counterparty in accordance with the following formula, taking into account CVA hedges that are eligible in accordance with Article 386:K2.33 h i 0.5 wi Mi EADitotal MihedgeBi ind wind Mind Bind2 i 0.75 wi2 Mi EADitotal MihedgeBi2 where: h the one-year risk horizon (in units of a year); h = 1; wi the weight applicable to counterparty i. Counterparty i shall be mapped to one of the six weights wi based on an external credit assessment by a nominated ECAI, as set out in Table 1. For a counterparty for which a credit assessment by a nominated ECAI is not available: (a) an institution using the approach in Title II, Chapter 3 shall map the internal rating of the counterparty to one of the external credit assessment; (b) an institution using the approach in Title II, Chapter 2 shall assign wi=1,0 % to this counterparty. However, if an institution uses Article 128 to risk weight counterparty credit risk exposures to this counterparty, wi=3,0 % shall be assigned; EADtotali the total counterparty credit risk exposure value of counterparty i (summed across its netting sets) including the effect of collateral in accordance with the methods set out in Sections 3 to 6 of Chapter 6 of Title II as applicable to the calculation of the own funds requirements for counterparty credit risk for that counterparty. For an institution not using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, the exposure shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1 e0.05 Mi0.05 Mi Bi the notional of purchased single name credit default swap hedges (summed if more than one position) referencing counterparty i and used to hedge CVA risk. That notional amount shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1 e0.05 Mihedge0.05 Mihedge Bind is the full notional of one or more index credit default swap of purchased protection used to hedge CVA risk. That notional amount shall be discounted by applying the following factor:1 e0.05 Mind0.05 Mind wind is the weight applicable to index hedges. An institution shall determine wind by calculating a weighted average of wi that are applicable to the individual constituents of the index; Mi the effective maturity of the transactions with counterparty i. For an institution using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, Mi shall be calculated in accordance with Article 162(2)(g). However, for that purpose, Mi shall not be capped at five years but at the longest contractual remaining maturity in the netting set. For an institution not using the method set out in Section 6 of Title II, Chapter 6, Mi is the average notional weighted maturity as referred to in point (b) of Article 162(2). However, for that purpose, Mi shall not be capped at five years but at the longest contractual remaining maturity in the netting set. Mihedge the maturity of the hedge instrument with notional Bi (the quantities MihedgeBi are to be summed if these are several positions); Mind the maturity of the index hedge. In the case of more than one index hedge position, Mind is the notional-weighted maturity. 2. Where a counterparty is included in an index on which a credit default swap used for hedging counterparty credit risk is based, the institution may subtract the notional amount attributable to that counterparty in accordance with its reference entity weight from the index CDS notional amount and treat it as a single name hedge (Bi) of the individual counterparty with maturity based on the maturity of the index.

Over-hedging of the exposures with single name credit default swaps under the method laid out in Article 383 is not allowed. 2. An institution shall not reflect other types of counterparty risk hedges in the calculation of the own funds requirements for CVA risk. In particular, tranched or nth-to-default credit default swaps and credit linked notes are not eligible hedges for the purposes the calculation of the own funds requirements for CVA risk. 3. Eligible hedges that are included in the calculation of the own funds requirements for CVA risk shall not be included in the calculation of the own funds requirements for specific risk as set out in Title IV or treated as credit risk mitigation other than for the counterparty credit risk of the same portfolio of transaction.

The heading changes from Own funds requirements to Transitional arrangements for the output floor, and the earlier 2014 own funds requirement ratios and their competent-authority publication rule are entirely removed.
In their place the provision now sets out a phased output floor factor x for 2025 to 2029, a formula for TREA calculation until 31 December 2029, and a series of transitional treatments running through 2032 covering unrated corporate exposures, alpha replacement for certain derivative exposures, residential mortgage risk weights, related monitoring and reporting duties for EBA and ESMA, and a securitisation factor p.
The new text also adds detailed notification, verification and limitation rules, including a four-year cap on extensions of the transitional arrangements, none of which appeared in the prior version.

Where liens not held by the institution rank pari passu with the lien held by the institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 10 % risk weight, the amount of 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of any more senior liens not held by the institution, shall be reduced by the product of: (a) 55 % of the property value, reduced by the amount of more senior liens, if any, both held by the institution and held by other institutions; and (b) the amount of liens not held by the institution that rank pari passu with the lien held by the institution divided by the sum of all pari passu liens. 7. For the purposes of paragraph 5, point (b), where an institution holds a junior lien and there are more senior liens not held by that institution, to determine the part of the institution’s exposure that is eligible for the 45 % risk weight, the amount of 80 % of the property value shall be reduced by the amount of the more senior liens not held by the institution.

Where the discretion referred to in paragraph 5 has been exercised and provided that all conditions set out in paragraph 8 are met, institutions may assign the following risk weights to any remaining part of the exposures secured by mortgages on residential property referred to in paragraph 5, point (b), until 31 December 2032: (a) 52,5 % during the period from 1 January 2030 to 31 December 2030; (b) 60 % during the period from 1 January 2031 to 31 December 2031; (c) 67,5 % during the period from 1 January 2032 to 31 December 2032. 10. Where Member States exercise the discretion referred to in paragraph 5, they shall notify EBA and substantiate their decision. Competent authorities shall notify the details of all verifications referred to in paragraph 8, point (f), to EBA. 11.

The provision no longer describes a competent-authority exemption for equity exposures held as at 31 December 2007 or a matching risk-weight rule for domestic-currency sovereign exposures, and it removes the earlier mandate for EBA to draft regulatory technical standards on that exemption by 30 June 2014.
Instead the text now sets out, for institutions permitted to use the IRB Approach for equity exposures, a calculation of the risk-weighted exposure amount as the higher of two amounts referencing Article 495a and the version of the Regulation applicable on 8 July 2024, an alternative option to apply Article 133 treatment, an expected-loss calculation tied to the 8 July 2024 versions of Article 158 and related provisions, and a bar on competent authorities granting new IRB permission for equity exposures after 31 December 2024, all running until 31 December 2029.

Article 495 Treatment of equity exposures under the IRB Approach 1. Until 31 December 2017, the competent authorities may, by way of derogation from Chapter 3 of Part Three, exempt from the IRB treatment certain categories of equity exposures held by institutions and EU subsidiaries of institutions in that Member State as at 31 December 2007. The competent authority shall publish the categories of equity exposures which benefit from such treatment in accordance with Article 143 of Directive 2013/36/EU. The exempted position shall be measured as the number of shares as at 31 December 2007 and any additional share arising directly as a result of owning those holdings, provided that they do not increase the proportional share of ownership in a portfolio company. If an acquisition increases the proportional share of ownership in a specific holding the part of the holding which constitutes the excess shall not be subject to the exemption. Nor shall the exemption apply to holdings that were originally subject to the exemption, but have been sold and then bought back. Equity exposures subject to this provision shall be subject to the capital requirements calculated in accordance with the Standardised Approach under Part Three, Title II, Chapter 2 and the requirements set out in Title IV of Part Three, as applicable. Competent authorities shall notify the Commission and EBA of the implementation of this paragraph. 2. In the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts for the purposes of Article 114(4), until 31 December 2017 the same risk weight shall be assigned in relation to exposures to the central governments or central banks of Member States denominated and funded in the domestic currency of any Member State as would be applied to such exposures denominated and funded in their domestic currency. 3. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the conditions according to which competent authorities shall afford the exemption referred to in paragraph 1. EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 30 June 2014. Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.

Instead of applying the treatment laid down in paragraph 1, institutions that have been granted permission to apply the IRB Approach to calculate the risk-weighted exposure amount for equity exposures may apply the treatment set out in Article 133 to all their equity exposures at any time until 31 December 2029. Where institutions apply the first subparagraph of this paragraph, Article 495a(1) and (2) shall not apply. For the purposes of this paragraph, the conditions to revert to the use of less sophisticated approaches set out in Article 149 shall not apply. 3.

EBA shall prepare a report on the appropriate calibration of risk parameters, including the haircut parameter, applicable to specialised lending exposures under the IRB Approach, and in particular on own estimates of LGD and LGD input floors for each specific category of specialised lending exposures as referred to in Article 147(8). EBA shall in particular include in its report data on average numbers of defaults and realised losses observed in the Union for different samples of institutions with different business and risk profiles. EBA shall recommend specific calibrations of risk parameters, including the haircut parameter, that would reflect the specific and different risk profile for each specific category of specialised lending exposures. EBA shall submit that report to the European Parliament to the Council and to the Commission by 10 July 2026. On the basis of that report and taking due account of the related internationally agreed standards developed by the BCBS, the Commission shall, where appropriate, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council a legislative proposal by 31 December 2027. 3. By way of derogation from Article 122a(3), point (a), specialised lending exposures as referred to in that point for which a directly applicable credit assessment by a nominated ECAI is not available may, until 31 December 2032, be assigned a risk weight of 80 %, where the adjustment to own funds requirements for credit risk referred to in Article 501a is not applied and the exposure is deemed to be of high quality when taking into account all of the following criteria: (a) the obligor can meet its financial obligations even under severely stressed conditions due to the presence of all of the following features: (i) adequate exposure-to-value of the exposure; (ii) conservative repayment profile of the exposure; (iii) commensurate remaining lifetime of the assets upon full pay-out of the exposure or alternatively recourse to a protection provider with high creditworthiness; (iv) low refinancing risk of the exposure by the obligor or that risk is adequately mitigated by a commensurate residual asset value or recourse to a protection provider with high creditworthiness; (v) the obligor has contractual restrictions over its activity and funding structure; (vi) the obligor uses derivatives only for risk-mitigation purposes; (vii) material operating risks are properly managed; (b) the contractual arrangements on the assets provide lenders with a high degree of protection, including the following features: (i) the lenders have a legally enforceable first-ranking right over the assets financed and, where applicable, over the income that they generate; (ii) there are contractual restrictions on the ability of the obligor to make changes to the asset which would have a negative impact on its value; (iii) where the asset is under construction, the lenders have a legally enforceable first-ranking right over the assets and the underlying construction contracts; (c) the assets being financed meet all of the following standards to operate in a sound and effective manner: (i) the technology and design of the asset are tested; (ii) all necessary permits and authorisations for the operation of the assets have been obtained; (iii) where the asset is under construction, the obligor has adequate safeguards on the agreed specifications, budget and completion date of the asset, including strong completion guarantees or the involvement of an experienced constructor and adequate contract provisions for liquidated damages. 4. EBA shall prepare a report, analysing the following: (a) the evolution of the trends and conditions in markets for object finance in the Union; (b) the effective riskiness of the object finance exposures over a full economic cycle; (c) the impact on own funds requirements of the treatment set out in Article 122a(3), point (a), for object finance exposures, without taking into account Article 465(1); (d) the appropriateness of the definition of the sub-class of high quality object finance and to assign to that sub-class of exposures a different prudential treatment. EBA shall submit that report to the European Parliament, to the Council and to the Commission by 31 December 2030.

Sources disagree about the kind of change — they agree this provision changed and disagree about how: the text comparison called it MODIFIED and the EU's own amendment metadata called it INSERTED. Both are shown; neither is overruled.
A new paragraph 1 has been added, setting out a derogation from Article 230 for the applicable value of Hc corresponding to other physical collateral in leasing exposures under Article 199(7), scaling that value by specified percentages across three time periods running from 1 January 2025 through 31 December 2029.
The remainder of the article, covering the EBA report and the Commission's possible legislative proposal, is unchanged and now appears as paragraph 2.
