Basel III Enhanced Risk Coverage: Counterparty Credit Risk and Related Issues
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand proposes implementing Basel III enhanced risk coverage standards, introducing a credit valuation adjustment charge for mark-to-market counterparty credit risk and an asset value correlation multiplier for exposures to large or unregulated financial institutions.
