Approach to measurement
CA-1.4.10
For the measurement of their market risks, banks will measure the risks in a standardised manner, using the measurement framework described in chapters CA-4 to CA-6.
CA-1.4.11
The standardised methodology uses a "building block" in which the capital charge for each risk category is determined separately. For equity positions risk, separate capital charge for specific risk and the general market risk arising from these positions are calculated. The specific market risk is defined as the risk of loss caused by an adverse price movement of a security/ units due principally to factors related to the issuer. The general market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in aggregate market prices. For commodities and foreign exchange, there is only one general market risk capital requirement.
CA-1.4.12
All transactions, including forward sales and purchases, shall be included in the calculation of capital requirements as from the date on which they were entered into.
