BCBS: Basel III counterparty credit risk - Frequently asked questions (update of FAQs published in July 2012)


Default: Change to:


The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision today issued frequently asked questions (FAQs) on Basel III's counterparty credit risk rules.


To promote consistent global implementation of Basel III, the Committee has agreed to review periodically frequently asked questions and publish answers along with any technical elaboration of the rules text and interpretative guidance that may be necessary.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has received a number of interpretation questions related to the December 2010 publication of the Basel III regulatory frameworks for capital and liquidity and the 13 January 2011 press release on the loss absorbency of capital at the point of non-viability.

Today's publication sets out the third set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) that relate to counterparty credit risk, including the default counterparty credit risk charge, the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) capital charge and asset value correlations. FAQs that have been added since the publication of the second version of this document in July 2012 are shaded yellow.

These FAQs aim to promote consistent global implementation of Basel III.
