RESOLUTION modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions
A seal bearing the National Emblem appears at the margin, stating: United Mexican States.- Treasury.- Ministry of Treasury and Public Credit.- National Banking and Securities Commission.
The National Banking and Securities Commission, pursuant to the agreement of its Board of Directors, based on the provisions of articles 51; 51 Bis; 96 Bis, first paragraph and 98 Bis of the Credit Institutions Law, as well as 4, fractions II, IV, XXXVI and XXXVIII; 12, fraction XV, and 16, fractions I and VI of the National Banking and Securities Commission Law, and
CONSIDERING
That on April 17, 2023, the "Resolution modifying the General Provisions applicable to credit institutions" was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, through which the international standard for large exposures to credit risk, established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, of which this National Banking and Securities Commission is a member, was incorporated into the regulatory framework. This standard seeks to strengthen provisions to limit the maximum loss of credit institutions facing a counterparty or group of interconnected counterparties that, due to their size, could endanger their solvency, as well as their continuous operation, and thereby avoid possible contagion among Multiple Banking Institutions of Local Systemic Importance or Institutions of Global Systemic Importance;
That subsequent to the entry into force and implementation of the aforementioned Resolution, changes have been identified that are necessary to provide greater certainty and legal security to credit institutions regarding the scope and observance of the regulation. As a result of the foregoing, it is provided that the definition of Financing shall exclude operations entered into with credit institutions and banking institutions from abroad with a term of up to one business day; and to clarify that participations in federal revenues or federal contributions or both, corresponding to the federal entities or municipalities, and their own revenues, may be used by credit institutions as credit risk coverage to reduce the value of their exposures and for the purpose of calculating the limits established for Large Exposures.
That, in line with the foregoing, it is necessary to specify the criteria for determining the financing limits for maximum loss facing a counterparty or group of interconnected counterparties that, due to their size, could endanger the solvency and continuous operation of credit institutions with multiple-purpose financial societies with which they maintain equity links. It has resolved to issue the following:

The risk committee of each Institution shall evaluate compliance with the limits established in articles 54 and 59 of these provisions, and at least annually, shall review and, if applicable, update the quantitative criteria, instructions and systems used for the identification of Common Risk among the Institution's counterparties.
Institutions are obligated to communicate to the Commission any non-compliance detected, having previously informed the risk committee, within two business days following the date on which such non-compliance was detected. Such communication shall include the immediate actions to be taken to restore compliance with the limits that have been exceeded. Without prejudice to the sanctions that may correspond in case of non-compliance with the referred limits, Institutions shall immediately adhere to the treatment established in article 2 Bis 6, fraction I, subsection t) of these provisions.
Article 61.- When, due to events unrelated to the Institution's decisions or not foreseen in its Desired Risk Profile, and subsequent to the granting of Financing or the coverage of guarantees, Credit Insurance, Credit Derivative Operations and Protection Operations against payment defaults of its debtors, the Institution exceeds the maximum limits referred to in articles 54 and 59 of these provisions, it may request the Commission for an exception to the subtraction of the concept established in article 2 Bis 6, fraction I, subsection t) of these provisions.
The request indicated in the previous paragraph shall be presented to the Commission within 10 business days following the date on which the Institution has found itself in such situation and shall be accompanied by a scheduled plan signed by the General Manager of the Institution and approved by the risk committee, with the explanation of the events that gave rise to the excesses in the financing limits, the documentary evidence supporting such explanation, as well as the measures that the Institution shall assume in order to comply within a period not exceeding three months with what is provided in the aforementioned article 54, or in its case, article 59 of these provisions. For this purpose, the Commission may grant a single extension for up to the same period established in this paragraph, if in its judgment, such extension is duly justified, detailing the causes for which the Institution has not been able to comply with what was planned to adjust to the established limits, provided that they are unrelated to the Institution, and provided that the phases of the plan have been fulfilled in a timely and proper manner. In such plan, Institutions that have investments in securities or equity and debt titles may contemplate a divestment program, independent of the measures related to the capital requirements applicable, or the manner in which they will adapt to the provisions of this section. Once the Commission reviews the request, it may order corrections or request additional information, which shall be attended to within the periods determined by it. Likewise, the Institution shall keep evidence of the progress made in accordance with the scheduled plan, which shall be available to the Commission at all times, and send to the referred Commission through the Vice Presidency in charge of its supervision, within ten business days following the one in which the deadline or the deadline for the execution of said plan has concluded, a final report regarding its compliance.
When, in the judgment of the Commission, the ordered corrections have not been resolved within the required period, the proposed measures prove inadequate or insufficient or it is considered that the excesses to the limits are not attributable to the events referred to in the first paragraph of this article, the Commission shall have the authority to reject the request, whereby Institutions shall observe, at all times, what is provided in article 2 Bis 6, fraction I, subsection t) of these provisions.
Likewise, multiple banking institutions shall verify that the measures referred to in the second paragraph of this article are included in the next update of their Contingency Plan. "
