Question

Under Article 274(5) and 273 there are circumstances where transactions may have a zero exposure value e.g. netting sets made up entirely of written options or certain CDS transactions. Should these be reported in the C34.02 with values in columns 0020-0140 and then have c0150 onwards set to 0 (or c0170 onwards?) or should they be disregarded from population of values in any columns as there is no requirement to calculate exposure for these transactions. Similarly should they be included in the same C34.03 columns?

Background

It is unclear whether it is just the final calculated exposure value which may be set to zero in these circumstances or if there is no requirement to calculate an exposure value and hence the components such as PFE/RC etc.

Answer

Under Article 274(5) and Article 273 of Regulation (EU) 575/2013, where transactions have a zero exposure value, the transactions shall be reported in the C34.02 and C 34.03 of Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/451.
