EBA consults on technical elements for the implementation of the alternative standardised approach for market risk as part of its FRTB roadmap
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today two public consultations on its draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on gross jump-to-default (JTD) amounts and its draft RTS on residual risk add-on (RRAO). These draft RTS specify i) how gross JTD amounts are to be determined for the purposes of calculating the default risk charge for non-securitisation instruments, and ii) how to identify instruments exposed to residual risks for the purposes of the residual risk add on (RRAO) - under the alternative standardised approach for market risk. These draft RTS are part of the phase 3 deliverables of the EBA roadmap for the new market and counterparty credit risk approaches. Both consultations run until 12 June 2021.
