No: 44047144 Date(g): 27/12/2022 | Date(h): 4/6/1444 Status: In-Force
8.41.Banks must apply the standardized approach for credit risk, according to the category of the counterparty, to their trade exposure to a non-qualifying CCP.
 
8.42.Banks must apply a risk weight of 1250% to their default fund contributions to a non-qualifying CCP. For the purposes of this paragraph, the default fund contributions of such banks will include both the funded and the unfunded contributions which are liable to be paid if the CCP so requires. Where there is a liability for unfunded contributions (i.e. unlimited binding commitments), the risk weight shall also be 1250%. Banks may, however, seek SAMA's approval to apply a different risk weight for the unfunded contributions.
