AI Summary of Article 280a Interest rate risk category add-on

This document outlines the methodology for calculating the interest rate risk category add-on as stipulated in Article 278. Institutions are required to determine the AddOnIR for a netting set by aggregating the individual add-ons from designated hedging sets, which are classified according to their supervisory factors and effective notional amounts.

To compute the effective notional amount for each hedging set, institutions must categorise transactions based on their end dates into predefined buckets, as per Table 2. This systematic approach ensures compliance with regulatory standards while accurately reflecting the associated interest rate risk.
