AI Summary of Article 142 Definitions

This chapter outlines key definitions relevant to the regulatory framework surrounding credit risk assessment and financial entities. A 'rating system' refers to the comprehensive methodologies and IT systems employed to evaluate credit risk and assign exposures into distinct rating categories. It further delineates the criteria for 'large regulated financial sector entities', which must possess total assets exceeding EUR 70 billion and comply with stringent prudential requirements, contrasting with 'unregulated financial sector entities' that do not meet these standards.

Additionally, definitions of 'obligor grade' and 'facility grade' are provided, which categorise risk levels based on specific criteria for estimating probability of default and loss given default. The regulation also empowers the Commission to evaluate supervisory equivalence in third countries, ensuring continued compliance with the Union's legal framework.
