Exempt exposures to connected counterparties
CM-4.5.3
In respect of exposures to other group companies, the Agency's policy allows a bank to take on a treasury role on behalf of the group as a whole (provided that the group is subject to consolidated supervision by its home supervisor). The Agency's policy regarding the taking on of a treasury role includes exposures arising from a central risk management function.
CM-4.5.4
In certain exceptional cases, exposures of more than 15% of (consolidated) capital base to a bank which controls the financing bank may be permitted for utilisation of surplus liquid funds for a short period not exceeding 90 days even where the financing bank does not perform a treasury role. Any other form of connected financing outside the scope of the above will be dealt with by the Agency on a case-by-case basis.
