debt securities issued by public sector entities, exposures to which are treated in accordance with Article 116(1) and (2);

An institution may use debt securities that are issued by other institutions or investment firms and that do not have a credit assessment by an ECAI as eligible collateral where those debt securities fulfil all the following criteria:
they are listed on a recognised exchange;
they qualify as senior debt;
all other rated issues by the issuing institution of the same seniority have a credit assessment by an ECAI which has been determined by EBA to be associated with credit quality step 3 or above under the rules for the risk weighting of exposures to institutions or short term exposures under Chapter 2;
the lending institution has no information to suggest that the issue would justify a credit assessment below that indicated in point (c);
the market liquidity of the instrument is sufficient for these purposes.
Institutions may use units or shares in CIUs as eligible collateral where all the following conditions are satisfied:
the units or shares have a daily public price quote;
the CIUs are limited to investing in instruments that are eligible for recognition under paragraphs 1 and 4;
the CIUs meet the conditions laid down in Article 132(3).
Where a CIU invests in shares or units of another CIU, conditions laid down in points (a) to (c) of the first subparagraph shall apply equally to any such underlying CIU.
The use by a CIU of derivative instruments to hedge permitted investments shall not prevent units or shares in that undertaking from being eligible as collateral.
Where any underlying CIU has underlying CIUs of its own, institutions may use units or shares in the original CIU as eligible collateral provided that they apply the methodology laid down in the first subparagraph.
Where non-eligible assets can have a negative value due to liabilities or contingent liabilities resulting from ownership, institutions shall do both of the following:
calculate the total value of the non-eligible assets;
where the amount obtained under point (a) is negative, subtract the absolute value of that amount from the total value of the eligible assets.
