Article 325q Foreign exchange risk factors 1.

There shall be one bucket per currency pair, containing a single risk factor and a single net sensitivity. 2. The foreign exchange vega risk factors to be applied by institutions to options with underlyings that are sensitive to foreign exchange shall be the implied volatilities of exchange rates between the currency pairs referred to in paragraph 1. pairs. Those implied volatilities of exchange rates shall be mapped to the following maturities in accordance with the maturities of the corresponding options subject to own funds requirements: 0,5 years, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, years and 10 years. 3.

Version in force , Modified

Amended by Regulation (EU) 2021/424 32021R0424 on EUR-Lex (external, EUR-Lex)

Applies from: no date changed

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

Paragraph 1 now allows the spot exchange rate to be taken against the institution's base currency, where one is used under new paragraph 7, in addition to the reporting currency.

Paragraph 3 now applies the curvature risk factors to instruments (rather than only options) with foreign exchange sensitive underlyings, and defines those factors by reference to the delta risk factors in paragraph 1 rather than simply repeating paragraph 1's content.

Three new paragraphs, 5, 6 and 7, have been added covering adjustment of curvature risk components by a factor of 1,5 in certain currency-underlying situations and, subject to competent authority permission, the use of a designated base currency in place of the reporting currency under listed conditions, with conversion of resulting own funds requirements back into the reporting currency; none of this appears in the earlier text.

Found in the text, but not every source lists it — the text comparison and the amending act's instructions found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. The source that does not name it is the EU's own amendment metadata. All are shown; none is overruled.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

This is a newly added provision setting out foreign exchange risk factors, defining foreign exchange delta risk factors as the spot exchange rates between an instrument's currency and the institution's reporting currency, with one bucket per currency pair holding a single risk factor and net sensitivity.

It further defines foreign exchange vega risk factors as implied volatilities of exchange rates for those currency pairs, mapped to five specified maturities, and defines foreign exchange curvature risk factors as the same factors used for delta risk.

It also states that institutions are not required to distinguish between onshore and offshore variants of a currency for these delta, vega and curvature risk factors.
