COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2025/1265

of 1 July 2025

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards specifying the method for identifying the main risk driver of a position and for determining whether a transaction represents a long or a short position as referred to in Articles 94(3), 273a(3) and 325a(2)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of 26 June 2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on prudential requirements for credit institutions and amending Regulation (EU) No 648/2012 ( 1 ) , and in particular Article 94(10), third subparagraph thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

The size of the business constitutes a proxy for the degree of sophistication that institutions should have in their capital calculations. To determine whether institutions are allowed to use simplified methods for the calculation of own funds requirements for market and counterparty credit risks, they are required to calculate the size of the on- and off-balance-sheet business in accordance with Article 94(1), Article 273a(1) and (2), and Article 325a(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. The identification of the main risk driver of a position and, on that basis, the determination of whether a transaction represents a long or a short position, are fundamental for the correct calculation of the size of the business. Given the importance of those calculations for small and non-complex institutions, the method for identifying the main risk driver of a position and for determining whether a transaction represents a long or a short position should be proportionate to the degree of complexity of the institution.

(2)

The method for determining whether a transaction represents a long or a short position should be consistent with the method for determining whether a transaction is a long or short position for transactions referred to in Article 277(3) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931 ( 2 ) .

(3)

To produce accurate results, the method for identifying the main risk driver of a non-derivative position should be based on the calculation of the risk-weighted delta sensitivities to risk factors, as set out in Part Three, Title IV, Chapter 1a, Sections 2, 3 and 6 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. In addition, to ensure the consistency of the approach, the method for identifying the main risk driver of a position should be consistent with the method for identifying the primary risk driver and the most material risk driver in derivative transactions set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931.

(4)

The method for determining whether a transaction represents a long or a short position should be based on the calculation of the risk-weighted delta sensitivity to the main risk driver. Where institutions are not able to calculate the risk-weighted delta sensitivity, they should determinate that sensitivity by assessing the trading or hedging purpose of the transaction.

(5)

It is necessary to lay down a simplified approach for small and non-complex institutions that may not be able to calculate the risk-weighted delta sensitivities, or may not be able to use the methods for identifying the primary risk driver and the most material risk driver in derivative transactions set out in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931. That simplified approach should be suitable for the instruments that small and non-complex institutions normally trade. Larger institutions should also have the possibility to use that simplified approach where they trade simple instruments that are included in the scope of that simplified approach.

(6)

The simplified approach should lead to results that are consistent with the risk-weighted delta sensitivities approach. Nevertheless, simplifying assumptions should be introduced to reduce the computational and operational burden for institutions, in particular with regard to instruments denominated in a currency that is different from the institution’s reporting currency. For that reason, institutions should be allowed to disregard in the determination of the main risk driver the spot exchange rate between the currency in which the instrument is denominated and the institution’s reporting currency for stocks, bonds and derivative transactions the underlying of which would normally be allocated to the interest rate, credit, equity or commodity risk categories.

(7)

Cash positions in the reporting currency should not be taken into account when determining the size of the business, since they do not change their market value under the influence of changes to risk drivers.

(8)

This Regulation is based on the draft regulatory technical standards submitted to the Commission by the European Banking Authority.

(9)

The European Banking Authority has conducted open public consultations on the draft regulatory technical standards on which this Regulation is based, analysed the potential related costs and benefits and requested the advice of the Banking Stakeholder Group established in accordance with Article 37 of Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 3 ) ,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Method for identifying the main risk drivers of a non-derivative position

When identifying the main risk driver of a non-derivative position that is assigned to the trading book, institutions shall first identify all risk factors of that position which are the principal determinants of its change in value. They shall do so by assessing at least the risk factors referred to in Articles 325l to 325q of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. The risk factors identified by the institutions shall be the risk drivers of the position.
Institutions that have identified, in accordance with paragraph 1, only one risk driver of a non-derivative position assigned to the trading book shall take that risk driver as the main risk driver of that position.
Institutions that have identified, in accordance with paragraph 1, more than one risk driver of a non-derivative position assigned to the trading book shall identify the main risk driver of that position by applying the following steps in the following order:

(a)

institutions shall calculate the delta risk sensitivities in accordance with Articles 325r and 325t of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 for each risk driver identified in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article;

(b)

institutions shall calculate the weighted sensitivities in accordance with the formula laid down in Article 325f(6) of that Regulation, using the sensitivities calculated in accordance with point (a) of this paragraph;

(c)

institutions shall identify the main risk driver as the risk driver which corresponds to the highest absolute value of the weighted sensitivities calculated in accordance with point (b) of this paragraph.

Article 2

Method for determining whether a non-derivative transaction represents a long or a short position in its main risk driver

When determining whether a non-derivative position represents a long or a short position in its main risk driver as referred to in Article 94(3) and Article 325a(2) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, institutions shall apply either of the following methods:

(a)

calculate the delta risk sensitivity of the main risk driver in accordance with Article 325r of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and identify the transaction as:

(i)

a long position in that risk driver where the corresponding delta risk sensitivity is positive; or

(ii)

a short position in that risk driver where the corresponding delta risk sensitivity is negative;

(b)

assess the dependence of the value of the position on the main risk driver by considering the trading or hedging purpose of the transaction with respect to that risk driver and identify the transaction as either a long or a short position in its main risk driver on the basis of that assessment.

Article 3

Simplified method for identifying the main risk driver of a non-derivative position and for determining whether the non-derivative transaction represents a long or a short position in its main risk driver

By way of derogation from Articles 1 and 2, institutions may identify the main risk driver of the non-derivative positions referred to in paragraphs 2 to 8 of this Article and determine whether such positions represent long or a short positions in the main risk driver by applying the approaches set out in those paragraphs.
For bonds which consist in fixed-rate debt instruments without optionality features, institutions shall use the following approach:

(a)

institutions shall identify the main risk driver depending on the credit quality step and sector of the bond referred to in Article 325ah of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 and the residual maturity of the bond, on the basis of either of the following:

(i)

Table 1 in the Annex to this Regulation, where the cash flows of the bond are not functionally dependent on inflation rates;

(ii)

Table 2 in the Annex to this Regulation, where the cash flows of the bond are functionally dependent on inflation rates;

(b)

where the main risk driver identified in accordance with point (a) of this paragraph is the risk-free rate, that main risk driver shall be in the currency in which the bond is denominated and with one of the maturities set out in Article 325l(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, selected to match as close as possible the maturity of the bond;

(c)

where the main risk driver identified in accordance with point (a) of this paragraph is the issuer credit spread rate, that main risk driver shall be the credit spread of the issuer of the bond and with one of the maturities set out in Article 325m(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, selected to match as close as possible the maturity of the bond;

(d)

institutions shall determine whether the position represents a long or a short position in its main risk driver on the basis of the following:

(i)

where the main risk driver identified under points (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph is the risk-free rate or the issuer credit spread rate, the position shall be long in its main risk driver where the bond is sold, and short where the bond is bought;

(ii)

where the main risk driver identified under points (a), (b) and (c) of this paragraph is the inflation rate, the position shall be long in its main risk driver where the bond is bought, and short where the bond is sold.

For bonds which consist in floating-rate debt instruments without optionality features, institutions shall use the approach set out in paragraph 2. Where the main risk driver identified in accordance with paragraph 2, point (a), is the risk-free rate and the residual maturity of the bond is higher than one year, the main risk driver shall be the issuer credit spread rate instead, determined in accordance with paragraph 2, point (c).
For a stock position, the main risk driver shall be the equity spot price.

The position shall be long in its main risk driver where the stock is bought, and short where the stock is sold.

For a cash position in a currency different from the institution’s reporting currency, the main risk driver shall be the spot exchange rate between the currency of that cash position and the institution’s reporting currency.

The position shall be long in its main risk driver where the cash position is an asset item, and short where it is a liability item.

For positions in a physical commodity, the main risk driver shall be the commodity spot price which corresponds to the commodity type of the position.

The position shall be long in its main risk driver where the physical commodity is an asset item, and short where it is a liability item.

For a position in a collective investment undertaking (CIU), the main risk driver shall be the risk factor corresponding to that CIU in the bucket ‘other sector’ in Table 8 of Article 325ap(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.

The position shall be long in its main risk driver where the shares or units of the CIU are bought, and short where the shares or units of the CIU are sold.

For a position in a repurchase transaction where the institution or its counterparty transfer securities as referred to in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4, the main risk driver shall be the corresponding general interest rate or equity repo rate.

The position shall be long in its main risk driver where the repurchase transaction is governed by a repurchase agreement, and short where it is governed by a reverse repurchase agreement.

Article 4

Method for identifying the main risk drivers of a derivative position

When identifying the main risk driver of a derivative position, institutions shall first identify:

(a)

all the risk drivers of the transaction, in accordance with Article 1 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931;

(b)

whether the transaction has one or more than one material risk driver, in accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of that Delegated Regulation;

(c)

the material risk drivers of the transaction and the most material of those risk drivers, in accordance with Article 4 of that Delegated Regulation.

Institutions that have identified, in accordance with paragraph 1, a derivative transaction with only one material risk driver shall take that risk driver as the main risk driver.
Institutions that have identified, in accordance with paragraph 1, a derivative transaction with more than one material risk driver that belong to only one risk category as referred to in Article 277(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 shall take the most material risk driver in that risk category as the main risk driver.
Institutions that have identified, in accordance with paragraph 1, a derivative transaction with more than one material risk driver that belong to two or more risk categories as referred to in Article 277(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 shall identify the main risk driver by using one of the following methods:

(a)

where institutions have identified material risk drivers in accordance with Article 4(2) or Article 4(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931, the main risk driver shall be the most material risk driver corresponding to the highest risk category add-on from those referred to in Articles 280a to 280f of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013;

(b)

where institutions have identified material risk drivers in accordance with Article 4(3) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931, the main risk driver shall be the most material risk driver corresponding to the highest absolute value of the weighted sensitivities referred to in Article 4(3), point (b), of that Delegated Regulation.

An institution that applies one of the methods set out in Article 4 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/931 for the calculation of the exposure value of a given derivative transaction shall use the same method to identify the main risk driver of that transaction.

Article 5
