AI Summary of Article 385 Simplified approach

The institution must comply with the stipulations outlined in Article 273a(2) or Article 273a(4) to compute own funds requirements for Counterparty Value Adjustment (CVA) risk. This calculation involves assessing the risk-weighted exposure amounts for counterparty risk as defined in Article 92(4), specifically regarding non-trading and trading book positions, adjusted by a factor of 12.5.

It is imperative that only transactions falling under the CVA risk requirements in Article 382 are included, while credit derivatives recognized as internal hedges against counterparty risk are excluded from this assessment. Institutions failing to maintain compliance with the established conditions must adhere to the provisions of Article 273b.
