5. 5 COMMON PROBLEMS Difficulties for non-specialist in banking operations Information required: development of our own cases For banks: * Data collection process * High costs

6. 6 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Credit risk measurement in a standardised manner, supported by external credit assessments

7. 7 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Claims on sovereigns: OECD country risk classification

8. 8 OECD CREDIT RISK CLASSIFICATION

9. 9 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Other exposures: ECAIs risk classification (Standard & Poors) Credit risk set in Directive

10. 10 Exposure Value -Value Adjustments and Provisions = Exposure Net of Value Adjustments and Provisions THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates

11. 11 FULLY ADJUSTED EXPOSURE VALUE (E*) CALCULATED AS SET IN DIRECTIVE E* = max {0, [((E) - (C)) + (|net position in each security| x Hsec) + (|Efx| x Hfx)]} IN OUR TEST CASES: NO CREDIT RISK MITIGATION TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN USED, SO: E* = EXPOSURE NET OF VALUE ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVISIONS THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates

12. 12 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates OUR TEST CASES: ON- BALANCE SHEET ITEMS RISK WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT CALCULATED AS A PERCENTAGE OF E*

13. 13 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates RISK WEIGHTS ACCORDING TO ANNEX VIII OF THE DIRECTIVE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS = 8% x RISK WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNT

14. 14 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates SIMPLE CASES PROBLEMS: - CRM TECHNIQUES E* - OFF-BALANCE SHEET ITEMS

15. 15 THE STANDARDISED APPROACH Filling the templates LEGAL REFERENCES AND COMMENTS IN THE TEMPLATES

16. 16 THE IRB APPROACH Filling the templates COMPETENT AUTHORITIES MAY PERMIT CREDIT INSTITUTIONS TO CALCULATE THEIR RISK-WEIGHTED EXPOSURE AMOUNTS USING THE INTERNAL RATINGS BASED APPROACH CREDIT INSTITUTIONS SYSTEMS FOR THE MANAGEMENT AND RATING OF CREDIT RISK EXPOSURES ARE IMPLEMENTED WITH INTEGRITY AND IF THEY MEET THE STANDARDS SET IN DIRECTIVE, ANNEX VII

17. 17 CREATION OF OBLIGOR RATING SCALE SEVEN GRADES + ONE MORE FOR PAST- DUE (minimum number of grades) OBLIGOR GRADE: risk category within a rating systems obligor rating scale to which obligors are assigned THE IRB APPROACH Filling the templates

18. 18 THE IRB APPROACH Filling the templates AVERAGE PD ASSIGNED TO THE OBLIGOR GRADE (minimum 0.03%) EXPOSURE WEIGHTED AVERAGE LGD 45% MATURITY VALUE (M) 2.5 YEARS RISK WEIGHT
