Subject Matter:
Number of counterparties in template CVA
Question:

The guidance for template C25.00 (CVA) states that "Number of counterparties included in calculation of own funds for CVA risk. Counterparties are a subset of obligors. They only exist in case of derivatives transactions or SFTs where they are simply the other contracting party." This requirement could be interpreted in a number of ways e.g. Option A: using the ultimate parent undertaking Option B: at subsidiary level Option B would report more counterparties than Option A i.e. where there are CVA exposures to two subsidiaries with the same ultimate parent, option A would disclose 1 counterparty; option B would disclose 2 counterparties
