Article 325y

Calculation of the own funds requirements for the default risk

2.  
Exposures which would receive a 0 % risk-weight under the Standardised Approach for credit risk in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title II shall receive a 0 % default risk weight for the own funds requirements for the default risk.
3.  
The weighted net JTD shall be allocated to the following buckets: corporates, sovereigns, and local governments/municipalities.
4.  

Weighted net JTD amounts shall be aggregated within each bucket, in accordance with the following formula:

DRCb = max {(Σi ∈ long RWi · net JTDi) – WtS · (Σi ∈ short RWi · |net JTDi|); 0}
where:

DRCb

=

the own funds requirement for the default risk for bucket b;

i

=

the index that denotes an instrument belonging to bucket b;

RWi

=

the risk weight; and

WtS

=

a ratio recognising a benefit for hedging relationships within a bucket, which shall be calculated as follows:

For the purposes of calculating the DRCb and the WtS, the long positions and short positions shall be aggregated for all positions within a bucket, regardless of the credit quality step to which those positions are allocated, to produce the bucket-specific own funds requirements for the default risk.

5.  
The final own funds requirement for the default risk for non-securitisations shall be calculated as the simple sum of the bucket-level own funds requirements.
