1.
Where the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures as referred to in 3.13 to 3.19 is lower than or equal to 7% of the total loss-given-default on all type 1 exposures, a firm must calculate the capital requirement for counterparty default risk on type 1 exposures in accordance with the following formula:
where σ denotes the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures, as defined in 3E13.4.

2.
Where the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures is higher than 7% of the total loss-given-default on all type 1 exposures and lower or equal to 20% of the total loss-given-default on all type 1 exposures, a firm must calculate the capital requirement for counterparty default risk on type 1 exposures in accordance with the following formula:
where σ denotes the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures.
- 31/12/2024
3.
Where the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures is higher than 20% of the total loss-given-default on all type 1 exposures, a firm must calculate the capital requirement for counterparty default risk on type 1 exposures as equal to the total loss-given-default on all type 1 exposures.
- 31/12/2024
4.
A firm must calculate the standard deviation of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures in accordance with the following formula:
where V denotes the variance of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures.

3E14 Variance of the Loss Distribution of Type Exposures
1.
The variance of the loss distribution of type 1 exposures as referred to in 3E13.4 must be equal to the sum of Vinter and Vintra.
- 31/12/2024
2.
A firm must calculate Vinter in accordance with the following formula:
where:
- (a) the sum covers all possible combinations (j,k) of probabilities of default on single name exposures in accordance with 3E12; and
- (b) TLGDj and TLGDk denote the sum of loss-given-default on type 1 exposures from counterparties bearing a probability of default PDj and PDk respectively.
- 31/12/2024
3.
A firm must calculate Vintra in accordance with the following formula:
where:
- (a) the first sum covers all different probabilities of default on single name exposures in accordance with 3E12;
- (b) the second sum covers all single name exposures that have a probability of default equal to PDj; and
- (c) LGDi denotes the loss-given-default on the single name exposure i.

Type 2 Exposures
3E15 Type 2 Exposures
1.
A firm must calculate the capital requirement for counterparty default risk on type 2 exposures as equal to the loss in its basic own funds that would result from an instantaneous decrease in value of type 2 exposures calculated in accordance with the following formula:
where:
- (a) LGDreceivables>3months denote the total loss-given-default on all receivables from intermediaries which have been due for more than three months;
- (b) the sum is taken on all type 2 exposures other than receivables from intermediaries which have been due for more than three months; and
- (c) LGDi denotes the loss-given-default on the type 2 exposure i.
