Question:: What should be included in row 110 “Off-balance sheet items” of template C 22.00 (MKR SA FX)?
Background on the question:: Article 352(1) CRR lists the elements to be taken into account to calculate the institution’s net open foreign exchange positions but does not clearly indicate that off-balance sheet items should be taken into account. Only irrevocable guarantees and similar instruments that are certain to be called and likely to be irrecoverable are listed. Hence, what should be included in the row 110 “Off-balance sheet items” of template C 22.00 for it to be in line with Article 352(1) CRR?
