This document outlines the criteria applicable to eligible guarantors and guarantees for calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts. Key provisions include the necessity for written, unconditional guarantees that are legally enforceable and ensure timely payment without external contingencies affecting the guarantor's obligation.

Furthermore, institutions are mandated to maintain clear policies for the impact of unfunded credit protection on risk parameters, ensuring alignment with internal risk management practices. The outlined requirements also extend to single-name credit derivatives, with specific stipulations on the recognition of various default categories, thereby guiding institutions in evaluating the correlation between obligor performance and guarantor reliability.
