AI Summary of Article 325bk Calculation of stress scenario risk measure

The 'stress scenario risk measure' for non-modellable risk factors encompasses potential losses across trading and non-trading book positions exposed to foreign exchange or commodity risks. Institutions are mandated to devise extreme scenarios of future shocks for these risk factors, which must meet the approval criteria set forth by relevant competent authorities.

The EBA is tasked with crafting regulatory technical standards which will delineate methodologies for scenario development, specify a regulatory extreme scenario for various risk factor sub-categories, and outline aggregation protocols for stress measures. These standards aim to ensure that capital requirements reflect the risk levels consistent with modellable risk factors. Submission of the draft standards to the Commission is scheduled for 28 September 2020.

Article 325bk Calculation of stress scenario risk measure

1. The 'stress scenario risk measure' of a given non-modellable risk factor means the loss that is incurred in all trading book positions or non-trading book positions that are subject to foreign exchange or commodity risk of the portfolio which includes that non-modellable risk factor when an extreme scenario of future shock is applied to that risk factor.

2. Institutions shall develop appropriate extreme scenarios of future shock for all non-modellable risk factors, to the satisfaction of their competent authorities.

3. EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify:

(a) how institutions are to develop extreme scenarios of future shock applicable to non-modellable risk factors and how they are to apply those extreme scenarios of future shock to those risk factors;

(b) a regulatory extreme scenario of future shock for each broad sub-category of risk factors listed in Table 2 of Article 325bd, which institutions may use when they are unable to develop an extreme scenario of future shock in accordance with point (a) of this subparagraph, or which competent authorities may require that institution apply if those authorities are not satisfied with the extreme scenario of future shock developed by the institution;
