The CBB recognises that even a bank which uses a comprehensive model for market risk may still incur risks in positions which are not captured by their internal models2, for example, in remote locations, in minor currencies or in negligible business areas3. Any such risks that are not included in a model should be separately measured and reported using the standardised approach described in chapters CA-9 to CA-13.


2 Banks may also incur interest rate and equity risks outside of their trading activities. However, there are no explicit capital charges for the price risk in such positions.

3 For example, if a bank is hardly at all engaged in commodities it will not necessarily be expected to model its commodities risk.
