Article 53 - Length of the historical observation period

Article 53

Length of the historical observation period

When assessing the length of the period used for the estimation of conversion factors referred to in paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of Article 182 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/72 (‘historical observation period’), competent authorities shall verify that:

(a)

the length of the historical observation period covers at least the minimum length required by paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of Article 182 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and, where applicable, Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/72;

(b)

where the available observation period is longer than the minimum period required by paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of Article 182 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for a data source, and the data obtained from it are relevant for the estimation of conversion factors, that the information for that longer period is used;

(c)

for retail exposures, where the institution does not give equal importance to all historical data used, that this is justified by better prediction of drawings on commitments and that, if a zero weight or a very small weight is applied to a specific period, this is either duly justified or leads to more conservative estimates.
