Credit risk

Credit risk focuses on the development of BTS, Guidelines and Reports regarding the calculation of capital requirements under the Standardised Approach and IRB Approach for credit risk and dilution risk in respect of all the business activities of an institution, excluding the trading book business. The objective is to provide a consistent implementation across the EU of the provisions related to topics such as credit risk adjustments, definition of default, permission to use Standardised/IRB approach, appropriateness of risk weights or credit risk mitigation techniques.
