AI Summary of Article 231 Calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in the case of pools of eligible funded credit protection for an exposure treated under the IRB Approach

Institutions that have secured multiple forms of funded credit protection (FCP) under the Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Approach may utilise a sequential formula as outlined in Article 230. This method requires institutions to adjust the remaining value of the unsecured exposure (EU) after recognising each type of FCP, reducing it by the adjusted value of the collateral (ES) applied in that step.

Furthermore, as per Article 230(1), the combined value of all FCP types must not exceed the limit set by E·(1+HE). The applicable Loss Given Default (LGD) for each FCP type is defined in Article 230(2), ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while maintaining fiscal prudence.

Article 231 Calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss amounts in the case of pools of eligible funded credit protection for an exposure treated under the IRB Approach

Institutions that have obtained multiple types of funded credit protection may, for exposures treated under the IRB Approach, apply the formula set out in Article 230, sequentially for each individual type of collateral. For that purpose, those institutions shall, after each step of recognising one individual type of FCP, reduce the remaining value of the unsecured exposure (EU) by the adjusted value of the collateral (ES) recognised in that step. In accordance with Article 230(1), the total of ES across all funded credit protection types shall be capped at the value of E·(1+HE), resulting in the following formula:

where:

LGDS,i = the LGD applicable to FCP i, as specified in Article 230(2);

ES,i = the current value of FCP i received after the application of the volatility adjustment applicable for the type of FCP (Hc) pursuant to Article 230(2).
