• (i) Residential Mortgage Exposures

    • CA-5.4.3

      For exposures defined in paragraph CA-5.2.18 that are not in default and are secured or partly secured45 by residential mortgages, risk weights will be assigned based on the following formula:

      Correlation (R) = 0.15

      Capital requirement (K) = LGD × N[(1 - R)^-0.5 × G(PD) + (R / (1 - R))^0.5 × G(0.999)] - PD x LGD

      Risk-weighted assets = K x 12.5 x EAD

      The capital requirement (K) for a defaulted exposure is equal to the greater of zero and the difference between its LGD (described in paragraph CA-5.8.79) and the bank's best estimate of expected loss (described in paragraph CA-5.8.82). The risk-weighted asset amount for the defaulted exposure is the product of K, 12.5, and the EAD.


      45 This means that risk weights for residential mortgages also apply to the unsecured portion of such residential mortgages.
