CA-1.3.17

For the measurement of their market risks, banks will have a choice, subject to the written approval of the Central Bank, between two broad methodologies. One alternative is to measure the risks in a standardised approach, using the measurement frameworks described in Chapters CA-4 to CA-8 of these regulations. Chapters CA-4 to CA-7 deal with the four risks addressed by these regulations; namely interest rate risk, equity position risk, foreign exchange risk and commodities risk. Chapter CA-8 sets out a number of possible methods for measuring the price risk in options of all kinds. The capital charge under the standardised approach is the arithmetical sum of the risk measures obtained from the measurement frameworks in Chapters CA-4 to CA-8.
