Search for Q&As

Enquirers can use various factors to search for a Q&A:

  • These include searching by the Q&A ID; legal reference, date submitted, technical standard / guideline, or by keyword if known.
  • Searches can be extended to more than one legal act, topic, technical standard or guidelines by making multiple selections (i.e. pressing 'Ctrl' on your keyboard, and selecting the relevant ones from the drop-down lists by left mouse-click).

Disclaimer:

Q&As refer to the provisions in force on the day of their publication. The EBA does not systematically review published Q&As following the amendment of legislative acts. Users of the Q&A tool should therefore check the date of publication of the Q&A and whether the provisions referred to in the answer remain the same.

Definition of "official export credit agency" for the calculation of deduction for non-performing exposures

Article 47c(4a) of the CRR exempts the part of a non‑performing exposure guaranteed or insured by an “official export credit agency” (ECA) from the deduction requirements laid down in Article 47c. However, the CRR does not define the term “official export credit agency”. In this context, what are the criteria for qualifying as an “official export credit agency” and how can it be determined whether an export credit agency and the guarantee or insurance provided meets the criteria for applying the derogation as provided in CRR Article 47c(4a)?

Historical valuation series considered in determining the average value of real estate collateral

Considering that institutions may rely on comparable real estate valuation indices to fill in periods where no formal property revaluation exists, in order to construct the required equally distant interval valuation points, is there any requirement or expectation to extend the historical series beyond the minimum three data points, covering the full reference period (e.g., six years for RRE and eight years for CRE)?  The reasoning underlying this question is illustrated in the following example: RRE: Case 1 - Exclusive reliance on three data points derived from formal property revaluation exercises Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: -- Period 2: -- Period 3: First formal property revaluation Period 4: -- Period 5: -- Period 6: Second formal property revaluation RRE: Case 2 - Use of real‑estate price valuation indices to construct the historical period Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: First property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 2: Second property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 3: Third property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 4: Fourth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 5: Fifth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 6: First formal property revaluation RRE: Case 3 - Use of real‑estate price valuation and indices to construct the historical period Period 0: Property value at origination Period 1: First formal property revaluation Period 2: First property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 3: Second property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 4: Third property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 5: Fourth property value collected using real‑estate valuation indices Period 6: Second formal property revaluation

Application of the current market value as a cap for immovable property collateral

Should the most recent market value constitute the maximum permissible (“cap”) for prudential purposes, even when the revaluation mechanisms under Article 229 would otherwise yield a higher value?

Application of Article 199(6)(d) for low default portfolios

In cases where institutions do not have a sufficient internal track record of default and liquidation events due to the low-default nature of certain portfolios, is there an alternative approach, such as the use of relevant external data, market evidence, or a combination of internal and external information, that could be considered acceptable to demonstrate compliance with Article 199(6)(d) for eligible physical collateral?

Historical valuation data predating the origination of the exposure for eligible immovable property collateral

For the purpose of calculating the average property value for exposures where the available valuation history does not meet the minimum historical period of six years for residential real estate (RRE) and eight years for commercial real estate (CRE), may the missing historical period be supplemented by using real estate price valuation indices for comparable properties predating the origination date of the exposure?
