AI Summary of Article 123 Retail exposures
This document outlines the criteria for classifying exposures as retail, focusing on loans to natural persons and SMEs. Retail exposures must comply with specific conditions regarding the total amount, risk management treatment, and the presence of a significant number of similar exposures. Notably, retail exposures receive a risk weight of 75%, with certain exceptions, such as transactor exposures at 45% and loans to pensioners or employees at 35% under specific conditions.
Exclusions include non-debt exposures and all forms of securities. The EBA is tasked with issuing guidelines by July 2025 to further define these criteria, emphasising the need for effective risk management and compliance frameworks.

Article 123 Retail exposures
1. Exposures that comply with all of the following criteria shall be considered retail exposures:
(a) the exposure is to one or more natural persons or to an SME;
(b) the total amount owed to the institution, its parent undertakings and its subsidiaries, by the obligor or group of connected clients, including any exposure in default but excluding exposures secured by residential property, up to the property value shall not, to the knowledge of the institution, which shall take reasonable steps to confirm the situation, exceed EUR 1 million;
(c) the exposure represents one of a significant number of exposures with similar characteristics, such that the risks associated with such exposure are substantially reduced;
(d) the institution concerned treats the exposure in its risk management framework and manages the exposure internally as a retail exposure consistently over time and in a manner that is similar to the treatment by the institution of other retail exposures.
