AI Summary of Article 282 Calculation of the exposure value

This document outlines the regulatory framework for calculating exposure values under contractual netting agreements, specifying two primary methods based on compliance with Article 274(1). When conditions are met, a single exposure value may be calculated; otherwise, transactions must be evaluated separately as distinct netting sets.

The formula for the replacement cost (RC) varies depending on the type of transaction, with specific provisions for determining potential future exposure. Institutions are mandated to update market values regularly and apply prescribed multipliers based on the nature of the derivatives to ensure adequate risk management and compliance with regulatory standards.

Article 282 Calculation of the exposure value

1. Institutions may calculate a single exposure value for all the transactions within a contractual netting agreement where all the conditions set out in Article 274(1) are met. Otherwise, institutions shall calculate an exposure value separately for each transaction, which shall be treated as its own netting set.

2. The exposure value of a netting set or a transaction shall be the product of 1,4 times the sum of the current replacement cost and the potential future exposure.

3. The current replacement cost referred to in paragraph 2 shall be calculated as follows:

(a)for netting sets of transactions: that are traded on a recognised exchange; centrally cleared by a central counterparty authorised in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 or recognised in accordance with Article 25 of that Regulation; or for which collateral is exchanged bilaterally with the counterparty in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, institutions shall use the following formula:

RC = TH + MTA

where:

RC = the replacement cost;
