Article 382
Scope
1.
An institution shall calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk in accordance with this Title for all OTC derivative instruments in respect of all of its business activities, other than credit derivatives recognised to reduce risk-weighted exposure amounts for credit risk.
2.
An institution shall include in the calculation of own funds required by paragraph 1 securities financing transactions that are fair-valued under the accounting framework applicable to the institution where the institution’s CVA risk exposures arising from those transactions are material.
3.
Transactions with a qualifying central counterparty and a client's transactions with a clearing member, when the clearing member is acting as an intermediary between the client and a qualifying central counterparty and the transactions give rise to a trade exposure of the clearing member to the qualifying central counterparty, are excluded from the own funds requirements for CVA risk.
4.
The following transactions shall be excluded from the own funds requirements for CVA risk:
(a)
transactions with non-financial counterparties as defined in point (9) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, or with non-financial counterparties established in a third country, where those transactions do not exceed the clearing threshold as specified in Article 10(3) and (4) of that Regulation;
(aa)
intragroup transactions entered into with non-financial counterparties as defined in Article 2, point (9), of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 which are part of the same group provided that all the following conditions are met:
(i)
the institution and the non-financial counterparties are included in the same consolidation on a full basis and are subject to supervision on a consolidated basis in accordance with Part One, Title II, Chapter 2;
(ii)
they are subject to appropriate centralised risk evaluation, measurement and control procedures; and
(iii)
the non-financial counterparties are established in the Union or, if they are established in a third country, the Commission has adopted an implementing act in accordance with paragraph 4c in respect of that third country;
(b)
intragroup transactions entered into with financial counterparties, as defined in Article 2, point (8), of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, financial institutions or ancillary services undertakings that are established in the Union or that are established in a third country that applies prudential and supervisory requirements to those financial counterparties, financial institutions or ancillary services undertakings that are at least equivalent to those applied in the Union, unless Member States adopt national law requiring the structural separation within a banking group, in which case the competent authorities may require those intragroup transactions between the structurally separated entities to be included in the own funds requirements;
(c)
transactions with counterparties referred to in point (10) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 and subject to the transitional provisions set out in Article 89(1) of that Regulation until those transitional provisions cease to apply;
(d)
transactions with counterparties referred to in Article 1(4) and (5) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 and transactions with counterparties for which Article 114(4) and Article 115(2) of this Regulation specifies a risk weight of 0 % for exposures to those counterparties.
The exemption from the CVA risk charge for those transactions referred to in point (c) of this paragraph) which are entered into during the transitional period laid down in Article 89(1) of Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 shall apply for the length of the contract of that transaction.
In regard to point (a), where an institution ceases to be exempt through crossing the exemption threshold or due to a change in the exemption threshold, outstanding contracts shall remain exempt until the date of their maturity.
4a.
By way of derogation from paragraph 4 of this Article, an institution may choose to calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk, using any of the approaches referred to in Article 382a(1), for the transactions that are excluded pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article, where the institution uses eligible hedges determined in accordance with Article 386 to mitigate the CVA risk of those transactions. Institutions shall establish policies to specify the application and calculation of the own funds requirements for CVA risk for such transactions.
4b.
Institutions shall report to their competent authorities the results of the calculations of the own funds requirements for CVA risk for all transactions referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article. For the purposes of that reporting requirement, institutions shall calculate the own funds requirements for CVA risk using the relevant approaches set out in Article 382a(1) that they would have used to satisfy an own funds requirement for CVA risk if those transactions were not excluded from the scope pursuant to paragraph 4 of this Article.
4c.
For the purposes of paragraph 4, points (aa) and (b), the Commission may adopt, by way of implementing acts, and subject to the examination procedure referred to in Article 464(2), a decision as to whether a third country applies prudential supervisory and regulatory requirements at least equivalent to those applied in the Union.
5.
EBA shall conduct a review by 1 January 2015 and every two years thereafter, in the light of international regulatory developments and including on potential methodologies on the calibration and thresholds for application of CVA risk charges to non-financial counterparties established in a third country.
EBA in cooperation with ESMA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the procedures for excluding transactions with non-financial counterparties established in a third country from the own funds requirement for CVA risk charge.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards within six months of the date of the review referred to in the first subparagraph,
Power is delegated to the Commission to adopt the regulatory technical standards referred to in the second subparagraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
6.
EBA shall develop draft regulatory technical standards to specify the conditions and the criteria that institutions are to use to assess whether the CVA risk exposures arising from fair-valued securities financing transactions are material, as well as the frequency of that assessment.
EBA shall submit those draft regulatory technical standards to the Commission by 10 July 2026.
Power is delegated to the Commission to supplement this Regulation by adopting the regulatory technical standards referred to in the first subparagraph of this paragraph in accordance with Articles 10 to 14 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010.
