Capacity of a CSD-banking service provider to convert into cash on a same-day basis collateral or investments through prearranged and highly reliable funding arrangements
What is the meaning of “same day basis” and the settlement period linked to it in Article 10(2)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2017/390?
Furthermore, in view of cut-off times of prearranged and highly reliable funding arrangements including committed repo lines, does the notion ‘same-day basis’ strictly require the conversion of collateral or investments into cash on the same day, or is it sufficient that a CSD-banking service provider has the capacity to start the conversion process on the same day?

Calculating RWAs for the portion of the securitisation position benefitting from credit protection
In case of an institution buying credit protection, which approach has to be applied for calculating RWAs for the portion of the securitisation position benefitting from credit protection, if the SEC-SA Approach is used for the portion of the securitisation position not benefitting from credit protection, and the institution is allowed to apply the IRB Approach to the direct exposures to the protection provider?
May the institution (buying credit protection) calculate the RWAs for the portion of the securitisation position benefitting from credit protection as a direct exposure to the protection provider using the IRB Approach?

Maturity reporting for Pillar 3 ESG risks disclosure, Template 1 and 5
How should we treat products without stated maturity (such as on demand, equity, perpetual loans) in the maturity buckets and in the average weighted maturity computation?
E.g. perpetual loans will probably end up in the >20 years bucket, but which year should we use for the computation of the average weighted maturity? Or Equity holdings are mentioned in the instructions, but it's not clear in which maturity bucket we should report them and which year to use for the computation of the average weighted maturity.
