AI Summary of Article 195 On-balance sheet netting

The institution is allowed to utilise on-balance sheet netting for mutual claims with its counterparty as a recognised means of credit risk mitigation. This eligibility, however, is confined to reciprocal cash balances and is subject to the constraints of Article 196.

Furthermore, institutions may adjust their risk-weighted exposure amounts and associated expected loss amounts solely for loans and deposits that they have accepted under a valid on-balance sheet netting agreement. This provision underscores the importance of maintaining rigorous compliance and robust risk management frameworks within the institution.

Article 195 On-balance sheet netting

An institution may use on-balance sheet netting of mutual claims between itself and its counterparty as an eligible form of credit risk mitigation.

Without prejudice to Article 196, eligibility is limited to reciprocal cash balances between the institution and the counterparty. Institutions may amend risk-weighted exposure amounts and, as relevant, expected loss amounts only for loans and deposits that they have received themselves and that are subject to an on-balance sheet netting agreement.
