applies from: unchanged
In point (a) of paragraph 1, the wording describing what the institution must demonstrate about its reason for using the Standardised Approach was changed from stating that the use is not proposed in order to reduce the own funds requirement of the institution, to stating that it is not made with a view to engaging in regulatory arbitrage, including by unduly reducing the own funds requirements of the institution.
The remaining text of point (a), and paragraphs 2 and 3, are unchanged between the two versions.
