Article 16 - Aggregation of the stress scenario risk measures

Article 16

Aggregation of the stress scenario risk measures

1.   For the purposes of aggregating the stress scenario risk measures as referred to in Article 325bk(3), point (d), of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, institutions shall, for each stress scenario risk measure they have computed, determine the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure as follows:

(a)

where institutions determined the extreme scenario of future shock for a single risk factor in accordance with the stepwise method set out to in Article 3, the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Formula

where:

RSS is the rescaled stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable risk factor;

SS is the stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable risk factor;

Formula
, and where LH is the liquidity horizon referred to in Article 325bd(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for the non-modellable risk factor;

κ is the non-linearity coefficient for the non-modellable risk factor calculated in accordance with Article 17;

(b)

where institutions determined a stress scenario risk measure for more than one risk factor by determining an extreme scenario of future shock in accordance with the stepwise method set out in Article 6 for a non-modellable standardised bucket comprising those risk factors, the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Formula

where:

RSS is the rescaled stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable standardised bucket;

SS is the stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable standardised bucket;

Formula
, and where LH is the liquidity horizon referred to in Article 325bd(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for the risk factors within the non-modellable standardised bucket;

κ is the non-linearity coefficient for the non-modellable standardised bucket calculated in accordance with Article 18;

(c)

where institutions determined the extreme scenario of future shock for a single risk factor in accordance with the direct method set out in Article 2, the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure shall be calculated with the following formula:

Formula

where:

RSS is the rescaled stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable risk factor;

SS is the stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable risk factor;

Formula
, and where LH is the liquidity horizon referred to in Article 325bd(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for the non-modellable risk factor;

UCF is the uncertainty compensation factor to be calculated in accordance with Article 20;

(d)

where institutions determined a stress scenario risk measure for more than one risk factor by determining an extreme scenario of future shock in accordance with the direct method set out in Article 5 for the non-modellable bucket comprising those risk factors, the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Formula

where:

RSS is the rescaled stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable standardised bucket;

SS is the stress scenario risk measure for the non-modellable standardised bucket;

Formula
, and where LH is the liquidity horizon referred to in Article 325bd(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for the risk factors within the non-modellable bucket;

UCF is the uncertainty compensation factor to be calculated in accordance with Article 20;

(e)

where institutions determined a stress scenario risk measure by determining a regulatory extreme scenario of future shock in accordance with Article 14, the corresponding rescaled stress scenario risk measure shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Formula

where:

RSS is the rescaled stress scenario risk measure;

SS is the stress scenario risk measure.

2.   Institutions shall aggregate the stress scenario risk measures in accordance with the following formula:

Formula

where:

ICSR denotes the set of non-modellable risk factors or non-modellable standardised buckets for which institutions determined a stress scenario risk measure that was classified as reflecting idiosyncratic credit spread risk only, in accordance with paragraph 3;

k is an index denoting the non-modellable risk factors or non-modellable standardised buckets belonging to ICSR ;

EIR denotes the set of non-modellable risk factors or non-modellable standardised buckets for which institutions determine a stress scenario risk measure that was classified as reflecting idiosyncratic equity risk only, in accordance with paragraph 4;

l is an index denoting the non-modellable risk factors or non-modellable standardised buckets belonging to EIR ;

OR denotes a non-modellable risk factor or non-modellable standardised bucket for which institutions determine a stress scenario risk measure that was neither classified as reflecting idiosyncratic credit spread risk only, in accordance with paragraph 3, nor idiosyncratic equity risk only, in accordance with paragraph 4;

j is an index denoting the non-modellable risk factors or non-modellable standardised buckets belonging to OR;

Formula
are respectively the rescaled stress scenario risk measures for the non-modellable risk factors or the non-modellable standardised buckets k,l, j calculated in accordance with paragraph 1;

Formula
.

3.   The non-modellable risk factors that institutions classify as reflecting idiosyncratic credit spread risk only shall meet all of the following conditions:

(a)

the nature of the risk factor is such that it reflects idiosyncratic credit spread risk only;

(b)

the value taken by the risk factor is not driven by systematic risk components;

(c)

the correlation among risk factors is negligible;

(d)

institutions perform and document the statistical tests used to verify the condition set out in point (c).

4.   The non-modellable risk factors that institutions classify as reflecting idiosyncratic equity risk only shall meet all of the following conditions:

(a)

the nature of the risk factor is such that it reflects idiosyncratic equity risk only;

(b)

the value taken by the risk factor is not driven by systematic risk components;

(c)

the correlation among risk factors is negligible;

(d)

institutions perform and document the statistical tests used to verify the condition set out in point (c).
