Article (8): Credit risk mitigation techniques that reduce the original exposure
C 1/2023 Effective from 26/7/20238.1 A Bank must reduce the value of the exposure to the original counterparty by the amount of the eligible credit risk mitigation technique recognised for risk-based capital requirements purposes.
8.2 The recognised amount mentioned in Article 8.1 is:
8.2.1 The value of the protected portion in the case of unfunded credit protection;
8.2.2 The value of the portion of claim collateralised by the market value of the recognised financial collateral when the Bank uses the simple approach for risk-based capital requirements purposes;
8.2.3 The value of the collateral as recognised in the calculation of the counterparty credit risk exposure value for any instruments with counterparty credit risk, such as over-the-counter derivatives;
8.2.4 The value of collateral adjusted after applying the required haircuts, in the case of financial collateral when the Bank applies the comprehensive approach. The haircuts used to reduce the collateral amount are the supervisory haircuts under the comprehensive approach - internally modelled haircuts must not be used.
