AI Summary of Article 276 Recognition and treatment of collateral

Institutions shall calculate collateral amounts for VM, VMMA, NICA and NICAMA subject to the following: where all transactions in a netting set belong to the trading book, only collateral eligible under Articles 197 and 299 may be recognised; where a netting set contains at least one non‑trading book transaction, only collateral eligible under Article 197 may be recognised. Collateral received is recognised with a positive sign and collateral posted with a negative sign. The volatility‑adjusted value of any collateral received or posted is calculated in accordance with Article 223. The same collateral item must not be included in both VM and NICA, nor in both VMMA and NICAMA. Collateral posted to a counterparty that is segregated and bankruptcy‑remote shall not be recognised in NICA and NICAMA.

For the volatility‑adjusted value of collateral posted, institutions shall replace the formula in Article 223(2) with a formula where CVA equals the volatility‑adjusted value of collateral posted and C equals the collateral, with Hc and Hfx defined in accordance with Article 223(2). The liquidation period for that calculation is one year for netting sets under Article 275(1), and the margin period of risk determined under point (b) of Article 279c(1) for netting sets under Articles 275(2) and (3).
