Point (d) now references the 0% risk weight assignment as coming under Article 118 rather than Article 117.
A new point (fa) adds regulated financial sector entities as eligible protection providers, with a definition tying that term to the condition in Article 142(1), point (4)(b), while point (g) is rewritten to cover other undertakings with a nominated ECAI credit assessment, excluding cases where credit protection is provided to a securitisation exposure, and the prior subpoints (i) and (ii) distinguishing ECAI-rated versus internally rated corporate entities are removed from point (g).
Paragraph 2 is restructured so that internally rated corporate entities under the IRB approach are now described as eligible providers in addition to those listed in paragraph 1, and the former second subparagraph about competent authorities publishing lists of eligible financial institutions under point (f) is no longer present in the text shown.

Institutions may use the following parties as eligible providers of unfunded credit protection: (a) central governments and central banks; (b) regional governments or local authorities; (c) multilateral development banks; (d) international organisations exposures to which a 0 % risk weight under Article 117 is assigned; (e) public sector entities, claims on which are treated in accordance with Article 116; (f) institutions, and financial institutions for which exposures to the financial institution are treated as exposures to institutions in accordance with Article 119(5); (g) other corporate entities, including parent undertakings, subsidiaries and affiliated corporate entities of the institution, where either of the following conditions is met: (i) those other corporate entities have a credit assessment by an ECAI; (ii) in the case of institutions calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts under the IRB Approach, those other corporate entities do not have a credit assessment by a recognised ECAI and are internally rated by the institution; (h) qualifying central counterparties. 2. Where institutions calculate risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts under the IRB Approach, to be eligible as a provider of unfunded credit protection a guarantor shall be internally rated by the institution in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of Chapter 3. Competent authorities shall publish and maintain the list of those financial institutions that are eligible providers of unfunded credit protection under point (f) of paragraph 1, or the guiding criteria for identifying such eligible providers of unfunded credit protection, together with a description of the applicable prudential requirements, and share their list with other competent authorities in accordance with Article 117 of Directive 2013/36/EU.
