Article 3 - Calculation of the own funds requirements for market risk for non-trading book positions subject to foreign exchange risk in accordance with the alternative internal model approach

Article 3

Calculation of the own funds requirements for market risk for non-trading book positions subject to foreign exchange risk in accordance with the alternative internal model approach

1.   When calculating the own funds requirements for non-trading book positions subject to foreign exchange risk in accordance with the alternative internal model approach set out in Part Three, Title IV, Chapter 1b, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, institutions shall use as a basis the last available accounting value of those positions.

2.   By way of derogation from paragraph 1, institutions may use the last available fair value of a non-trading book position that is subject to foreign exchange risk, provided that they measure all their non-trading book positions at fair value at least on a quarterly basis. When using this derogation, the institutions shall apply it consistently to all non-trading book positions subject to foreign exchange risk.

3.   Institutions shall update the last available value that is used as a basis for calculating the own funds requirements for foreign exchange risk in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 2 on a daily basis, by reflecting changes in the value of the foreign exchange risk factors.

4.   When updating the last available value of a non-trading book position on a daily basis, institutions shall update the value of all risk factors for a position for which they used the derogation laid down in Article 5(1), second subparagraph.

5.   When calculating the expected shortfall risk measure referred to in Article 325bb of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and the stress scenario risk measure referred to in Article 325bk of that Regulation in relation to non-trading book positions subject to foreign exchange risk, institutions shall apply scenarios of future shocks or extreme scenarios of future shock, respectively, only to risk factors that belong to the foreign exchange broad risk factor category referred to in Article 325bd(1) of that Regulation.

6.   Institutions shall capture in their risk-measurement model the risk of impairment due to changes in the relevant exchange rates posed by items that are subject to that risk, where those items are not measured at fair value and their accounting values are not updated at each reporting date to reflect the changes in the exchange rate between the foreign currency and the reporting currency of the institution recognising the item in its individual financial statement.
