Question

In the context of regulatory reporting of securitization positions under the new EBA regulatory reporting framework 2.9, the question regards the metric expected to be reported in the column [0180] EXPOSURE VALUE of template C13.01. On one hand, the supervisory reporting requirements on ITS under the framework 2.9 define the column [0180] EXPOSURE VALUE of template C13.01 as “Securitisation positions according to Article 248 of CRR”. The Article 248 of Regulation 2017/2401 states that the “exposure value of an on-balance sheet securitisation position shall be its accounting value remaining after any relevant specific credit risk adjustments on the securitisation position have been applied in accordance with Article 110”. As any reference to the application of credit risk mitigation is mentioned on the article 248, we conclude at the this point that the column [0180] EXPOSURE VALUE of template C13.01 should be the exposure value after specific credit risk adjustment after the application of CCF and before application of CRM. On the other hand, the Article 249(2) indicates that the exposure value subject to risk weights has to be after application of credit risk mitigation. However, in Article 247(5), the exposure value subject to risk weights is defined as the exposure value set out in Article 248. There is not a reference to the article 249(2) in article 247(5) or article 248. Could you please give the correct metric to report in column [0180] EXPOSURE VALUE of template C13.01 : is it the exposure value before or after the application of credit risk mitigations ?

Background

The Article 248 of Regulation 2017/2401 states that the “exposure value of an on-balance sheet securitisation position shall be its accounting value remaining after any relevant specific credit risk adjustments on the securitisation position have been applied in accordance with Article 110”. Besides, the Article 249(2) indicates that the exposure value subject to risk weights has to be after application of credit risk mitigation. However, in Article 247(5), the exposure value subject to risk weights is defined as the exposure value set out in Article 248. There is not a reference to the article 249(2) in article 247(5) or article 248.

Answer

In Regulation (EU) N0 575/2013 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2019/876 (CRR2), there is no reference to the article 249(2) in article 247(5) or article 248 of the same regulation. However, by referring to article 248, article 247(5) does not imply that credit risk mitigation cannot be applied. Indeed, article 248 is w ithout prejudice to the application of credit risk mitigation as referred to in article 249. The column 180 for exposure value of template C13.01 of Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 680/2014 (ITS on Supervisory Reporting) is the exposure value after specific credit risk adjustment after the application of credit conversion factors and after application of credit risk mitigation.
