AI Summary of Article 325bl Scope of the internal default risk model
The positions assigned to trading desks within an institution, as stipulated in Article 325az(2), will be subject to an incremental own funds requirement for default risk. This applies when at least one risk factor mapped to 'equity' or 'credit spread' is present, ensuring compliance with the requirements outlined in Article 325bd(1). The calculation of this own funds requirement must utilise the institution's internal default risk model, adhering to the relevant regulatory standards.
Furthermore, institutions are mandated to identify a single issuer of traded debt or equity instruments linked to each identified risk factor for every position subject to the default risk requirement. This process is critical for effective risk management and compliance.
