AI Summary of Article 140 Long-term and short-term credit assessments
Short-term credit assessments are exclusively applicable to short-term assets and off-balance sheet items involving exposures to institutions and corporates. Such assessments cannot be extrapolated to inform risk weights for other items unless specified exceptions are met.
In particular, should a short-term rated facility attract a 150% risk weight, all unrated unsecured exposures related to the same obligor, regardless of whether they are short-term or long-term, must likewise reflect this risk weight. Conversely, if a short-term facility is assigned a 50% risk weight, no unrated short-term exposure may be allocated a risk weight below 100%.

Article 140 Long-term and short-term credit assessments
1. Short-term credit assessments may only be used for short-term asset and off-balance sheet items constituting exposures to institutions and corporates.
2. Any short-term credit assessment shall only apply to the item the short-term credit assessment refers to, and it shall not be used to derive risk weights for any other item, except in the following cases:
(a) if a short-term rated facility is assigned a 150 % risk weight, then all unrated unsecured exposures on that obligor whether short-term or long-term shall also be assigned a 150 % risk weight;
(b) if a short-term rated facility is assigned a 50 % risk-weight, no unrated short-term exposure shall be assigned a risk weight lower than 100 %.
