AI Summary of Article 150 Conditions for permanent partial use

This summary outlines the application of the Standardised Approach for risk weights and expected loss amounts for specific exposures under the relevant regulatory framework. Institutions must apply this approach to exposures not granted prior permission to use the IRB Approach, particularly concerning exposure classes outlined in Article 147(2)(e) and others deemed immaterial by competent authorities.

Moreover, institutions with IRB permissions may apply the Standardised Approach for select exposures, including those linked to public sector entities, counterparties within group structures, and other qualifying institutions. The European Banking Authority will provide guidelines by July 2028 on immaterial exposure types, ensuring clarity and compliance in risk assessment practices.

Article 150 Conditions for permanent partial use

1.Institutions shall apply the Standardised Approach for all of the following exposures:

(a)exposures assigned to the exposure class referred to in Article 147(2), point (e);

(b)exposures assigned to exposure classes or belonging to types of exposures within an exposure class, for which institutions have not received the prior permission of the competent authorities to use the IRB Approach for the calculation of the risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts.

An institution that is permitted to use the IRB Approach for the calculation of risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts for a given exposure class may, subject to the competent authority's prior permission, apply the Standardised Approach for some types of exposures within that exposure class, including exposures of foreign branches and different product groups, where those types of exposures are immaterial in terms of size and perceived risk profile.
