A trading book exposure may be hedged, completely or partially, by an instrument that, in its own right, is not normally considered eligible to be a part of the trading book. Subject to the policy statement agreed by the bank with the Agency as explained in paragraph CA-1.3.2 above, and with the prior written approval of the Agency, banks will be allowed to include within their market risk measure non-trading instruments (on- or off-balance-sheet) which are deliberately used to hedge the trading activities. The positions in these instruments will attract counterparty risk capital requirements and general market risk, but not specific risk requirements.
