    • CM-5.4.2

      Where a third party has provided an eligible guarantee, and subject to the guaranteed bank's policy statement not stating otherwise, the guaranteed bank may be permitted to report the exposure as being to the third party guarantor, rather than the person guaranteed (see Chapter CA-4 for full conditions relating to the recognition of guarantees for regulatory purposes).
