Effective
in the second quarter of 2020
, we adopted the IMM approach for CCR for qualifying derivative transactions which impacted the calculation of EAD and risk-weighted assets (RWA). Some derivatives are not eligible for IMM and remain under
SA-CCR.
Comparative amounts presented have not been restated.
(2)
Current replacement cost reflects the current
mark-to-market
(MTM) value of derivatives offset by eligible financial collateral, where present.
(3)
Under IMM, effective expected positive exposure (EEPE) is used, which computes through simulation, the expected exposures with consideration to the expected movements in underlying risk factor and netting/collateral agreements. The EAD is calculated as EEPE multiplied by the prescribed alpha factor of 1.4. The EAD under
SA-CCR
is calculated as the sum of replacement cost and potential future exposure, multiplied by the prescribed alpha factor of 1.4.
(4)
Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year.
