Document Overview
AI Summary of Article 232 Other funded credit protection
The document outlines the regulatory framework for cash deposits and collateralised exposures, detailing how these can be treated as guarantees. Under Article 212(1), cash deposits with third-party institutions can serve as collateral when certain conditions are met. Article 212(2) specifies the treatment of life insurance policies pledged as collateral, indicating risk weights applicable under both the Standardised and IRB Approaches.
Furthermore, risk weights are defined based on the senior unsecured exposure of the insurance provider, ensuring a graduated response to credit risk. Institutions are granted additional flexibility in classifying repurchase agreements as guarantees, with valuation methodologies specified for both face value and market price.

Article 232 Other funded credit protection
1.Where the conditions set out in Article 212(1) are met, cash on deposit with, or cash assimilated instruments held by, a third-party institution in a non-custodial arrangement and pledged to the lending institution, may be treated as a guarantee provided by the third-party institution.
2. Where the conditions set out in Article 212(2) are met, institutions shall subject the portion of the exposure collateralised by the current surrender value of life insurance policies pledged to the lending institution to the following treatment:
(a) where the exposure is subject to the Standardised Approach, it shall be risk-weighted by using the risk weights specified in paragraph 3;
(b) where the exposure is subject to the IRB Approach but not subject to the institution's own estimates of LGD, it shall be assigned an LGD of 40 %.
In the event of a currency mismatch, institutions shall reduce the current surrender value in accordance with Article 233(3), the value of the credit protection being the current surrender value of the life insurance policy.
