• Binding MPO

    • CA-3.2.13

      In a binding MPO, the Islamic bank licensee is exposed to default on the purchase orderer's obligation to pay fully for the asset at the agreed price. In the event of the orderer defaulting on its PP, the Islamic bank licensee will dispose of the asset to a third party. The Islamic bank licensee will have recourse to any HJ9 paid by the orderer, and (a) may have a right to recoup from the orderer any loss on disposing of the asset, after taking account of the HJ or (b) may have no such legal rights. In both cases, this risk is mitigated by the asset in possession as well as any HJ paid by the purchase orderer.


      9 The bank's recourse to HJ should be within the limits of the actual loss, which is the difference between the actual cost and the sale price of the asset.

    • CA-3.2.14

      In case (a) of Paragraph CA-3.2.13, the Islamic bank licensee has the right to recoup any loss (as indicated in the previous paragraph) from the orderer, that right constitutes a claim receivable which is exposed to credit risk, and the exposure shall be measured as the amount of the asset's total acquisition cost to the Islamic bank licensee, (less the value of any eligible financial collateral (see Paragraph CA-4.7.25) subject to any haircut, and less the amount of any HJ). The applicable RW must be based on the standing of the obligor as rated by an ECAI that is approved by the CBB, and in the case the obligor is unrated, a RW of 100% shall apply (See Section CA-4.2).

    • CA-3.2.15

      In case (b) of Paragraph CA-3.2.13, the Islamic bank licensee has no legal right, and the cost of the asset to the Islamic bank licensee constitutes a market risk (as in the case on a non-binding MPO), but the market risk exposure is reduced by the amount of any HJ that the Islamic bank licensee has the right to retain.

    • CA-3.2.16

      In applying the treatment as set out in the Paragraph CA-3.2.15, the Islamic bank licensee must ensure that the PP is properly documented and legally enforceable. In the absence of proper documentation and legal enforceability, the asset is to be treated as similar to a non-binding MPO which is exposed to price risk, where the measurement approach is as set out in Paragraphs CA-3.2.20 and CA-3.2.21.

    • CA-3.2.17

      Upon selling the asset, the accounts receivable (net of specific provisions) amount must be assigned a RW based on the credit standing of the obligor as rated by an ECAI that is approved by the CBB. In case the obligor is unrated, a RW of 100% applies. (See Section CA-4.2).
