Article 160
1.
For exposures assigned to the exposure classes referred to in Article 147(2), point (b), or point (c)(i), (ii) or (iii), for the sole purpose of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and the expected loss amounts of those exposures, in particular for the purposes of Articles 153 and 157, and Article 158(1), (5) and (10), the PD value that is used for each exposure as an input of the risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss formulae shall not be less than the following PD input floor value: 0,05 %.
1a.
For exposures assigned to the exposure classes referred to in Article 147(2), point (aa)(i) or (ii), for the sole purpose of calculating risk-weighted exposure amounts and the expected loss amounts of those exposures, the PD value that is used for each exposure as an input of the risk-weighted exposure amounts and expected loss formulae shall not be less than the following PD input floor value: 0,03 %.
2.
For purchased corporate receivables in respect of which an institution is not able to estimate PDs or an institution's PD estimates do not meet the requirements set out in Section 6, the PDs for these exposures shall be determined in accordance with the following methods:
(a)
for senior claims on purchased corporate receivables PD shall be the institutions estimate of EL divided by LGD for these receivables;
(b)
for subordinated claims on purchased corporate receivables PD shall be the institution's estimate of EL;
(c)
an institution that has received the permission of the competent authority to use own LGD estimates for corporate exposures pursuant to Article 143 and that can decompose its EL estimates for purchased corporate receivables into PDs and LGDs in a manner that the competent authority considers to be reliable, may use the PD estimate that results from this decomposition.
3.
The PD of obligors in default shall be 100 %.
4.
For an exposure covered by an unfunded credit protection, an institution using own estimates of LGD under Article 143 for both the exposure that is covered by the unfunded credit protection and for comparable direct exposures to the protection provider may recognise the unfunded credit protection in the PD in accordance with Article 183.
6.
For dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables, PD shall be set equal to the EL estimates of the institution for dilution risk. An institution that has received permission from the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own estimates of LGD for corporate exposures that can decompose its EL estimates for dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables into PDs and LGDs in a manner that the competent authority considers to be reliable, may use the PD estimates that result from that decomposition. Institutions may recognise unfunded credit protection in the PD in accordance with Chapter 4.
7.
An institution that has received the permission of the competent authority pursuant to Article 143 to use own estimates of LGD for dilution risk of purchased corporate receivables may recognise unfunded credit protection by adjusting PDs subject to Article 161(3).
