AI Summary of Article 108 Use of credit risk mitigation techniques under the Standardised Approach and the IRB Approach for credit risk and dilution risk

This document outlines the conditions under which institutions may recognise funded and unfunded credit protection when calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts, aligning with the Standardised and IRB Approaches. Institutions can treat certain loans to natural persons as exposures secured by mortgages on residential properties, provided specific criteria regarding legal status, credit quality, and the rights to secure mortgages are fulfilled.

Competent authorities are tasked with informing the EBA of eligible protection providers, which will be publicly listed and updated annually. Institutions opting to apply this treatment must do so consistently across all relevant exposures.
