Question

What is the definition of "all postions" in the columns in the market risk templates C 18.00 -C 23.00? "All positions" are not descibed or defined neither in CRR nor in the instructions.

Background

It is not clear to us how to define "all positions" in the market risk templates C 18.00 -C 23.00. We have however not found any defintion or description of "all positions" in CRR or in the instructions.

Answer

The columns for gross positions in the market risk templates in general shall report positions prior to any kind of offsetting. The instructions refer to the relevant articles in the Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 (CRR) concerning (gross) positions which have to be considered when calculating the own funds requirements for the respective market risk and how those positions are valued. Combined products have to be split up into their underlying components following the respective Articles in the CRR (e.g. the section on interest rate risk describes the breakdown of derivative contracts into the underlying positions in Articles 328 to 332 of CRR in detail).
