AI Summary of Article 306 Own funds requirements for trade exposures
This directive outlines the treatment of trade exposures with Central Clearing Parties (CCPs). Institutions must apply a 2% risk weight to exposures with Qualifying CCPs (QCCPs), while non-qualifying CCPs demand a risk weight as per the Standardised Approach to credit risk. Notably, if an institution intermediates a transaction where it is not liable for client losses upon CCP default, it may set that exposure to zero.
Additionally, if collateral assets are deemed bankruptcy remote, a zero exposure value is permissible. Institutions must calculate exposure values and risk-weighted amounts following prescribed sections of relevant regulations.

Article 306 Own funds requirements for trade exposures
1. An institution shall apply the following treatment to its trade exposures with CCPs:
(a) it shall apply a risk weight of 2 % to the exposure values of all its trade exposures with QCCPs;
(b) it shall apply the risk weight used for the Standardised Approach to credit risk as set out in Article 107(2)(b) to all its trade exposures with non-qualifying CCPs;
(c) where an institution acts as a financial intermediary between a client and a CCP, and the terms of the CCP-related transaction stipulate that the institution is not required to reimburse the client for any losses suffered due to changes in the value of that transaction in the event that the CCP defaults, that institution may set the exposure value of the trade exposure with the CCP that corresponds to that CCP-related transaction to zero;
