Article 500d
Temporary calculation of the exposure value of regular-way purchases and sales awaiting settlement in view of the COVID-19 pandemic
Institutions that, in accordance with the applicable accounting framework, apply settlement date accounting to regular-way purchases and sales which are awaiting settlement shall include in the total exposure measure the full nominal value of commitments to pay related to regular-way purchases.
Institutions may offset the full nominal value of commitments to pay related to regular-way purchases by the full nominal value of cash receivables related to regular-way sales awaiting settlement only where both of the following conditions are met:
both the regular-way purchases and sales are settled on a delivery-versus-payment basis;
the financial assets bought and sold that are associated with cash payables and receivables are measured at fair value through profit or loss and included in the institution’s trading book.
