The treatment of client exposures to a CCP via a clearing member is described in art 305 and consists of
1/ application of art 305 paragraph 1 (when the conditions in paragraph 2 are not met) = use of counterpart credit risk section 1 to 8 for the CCP-related transactions with the clearing member
2/ application of art 305 paragraph 2 (and subject to paragraph 3) = use of art 306 for the trade exposures with the CCP
Can it be clarrified which party should be treated as the counterparty in sush a transaction (the clearing member or the CCP) under Corep?
Can it in addition be clarrified whether the same counterparty as in Corep should be used under Finrep?
- Background on the question
-
For the reporting by residence of the counterparty under Corep, and for the determination of the IRB parameters, the counterparty in a transaction has to be clearly identified.
In the case of transactions with a clearing member that acts as a financial intermediairy to a CCP there is some unclarity to whom is the counterparty, and whether or not this is dependant on the application of art 305 paragraph 1 (which talks about 'CCP-related transactions towards a clearing member') and art 305 paragraph 2 (and 3) and art 306 (which talks about 'CCP-related transactions to a clearing member' in art 305 paragraph 2, but refers to art 306 which uses the term 'trade exposures towards a CCP').
