The Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued Annex IIIb-A to provide detailed illustrations for reporting recognized credit risk mitigation under the Banking (Capital) Rules. The document demonstrates risk-weighted amount calculations for on-balance sheet loans, off-balance sheet commitments, and collateralized derivatives using both the Simple and Comprehensive Approaches. It specifies the application of risk weights, supervisory haircuts, and conversion factors to determine the final capital requirements for various secured exposure scenarios.
1 Annex IIIb-A Illustrations on Reporting of Recognized Credit Risk Mitigation All monetary figures in HK$ million unless otherwise stated. Case 1: On-balance sheet exposure – collateralized loan Exposure: A 5-year term loan of $1,000 to an unrated corporate incorporated in Hong Kong. Collateral: Debt securities that are− — issued by a bank; — denominated in Euro; — rated AA by the Standard & Poor’s; and — maturing in 7 years. The collateral is subject to daily revaluation and presently has a market value of $1,050. Simple Approach

1 As the lending involves only cash, no haircut is required for the loan exposure (i.e. He = 0).
3 = max (0, 181) = 181 RWA of the loan = E* × risk-weight of the unrated corporate = 181 × 100% = 181 2. Reporting Arrangement Division A
4 Case 2: Off-balance sheet exposure - collateralized loan commitment Now assuming that the corporate borrower in Case 1 has not yet drawn down the loan facility and the facility has an original maturity of 2 years (i.e. the borrower has to draw down the loan within 2 years). It is also assumed that the loan facility cannot be cancelled by the AI unconditionally. Simple approach

7 Case 3: Collateralized derivative contract covered by recognized guarantee Interest rate contract with a notional of $1,000 with a four-year residual maturity. Not subject to margin agreement and netting agreement. The counterparty is an unrated corporate. The contract is covered by a guarantee of $8 provided by a bank with an “A1” Moody’s rating. It is assumed that the replacement cost and potential future exposure of the contract calculated under the SA-CCR approach are $1 and $18 respectively.
