The amount of this mortgage loan is greater than 1 000 000 and according to Article 191, p.4 can not be treated under Counterparty default risk. The total amount owed to the insurance or reinsurance undertaking and, where relevant, to all related undertakings within the meaning of Article 212(1)(b) and (2) of Directive 2009/138/EC, including any exposure in default, by the counterparty or other connected third party, shall not, to the knowledge of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking, exceed EUR 1 million. The insurance or reinsurance undertaking shall take reasonable steps to acquire this knowledge.
Answer
In case the mortgage loan does not meet the requirements set out in Article 191 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 it should be included in the calculation of the capital requirements for interest rate risk, spread risk and market risk concentration as well as in case relevant for currency risk.
