(b) is able at any time to determine those assets and liabilities with the same counterparty that are subject to the netting agreement;
(c) monitors and controls its roll-off risks; and
(d) monitors and controls the relevant exposures on a net basis,

Assets (loans) are treated as exposure and liabilities (deposits) as collateral. The haircuts will be zero except when a currency mismatch exists. A 10-business day holding period will apply when daily mark-to- market is conducted and all the requirements contained in paragraphs CA-4.3.7, CA-4.3.13, and CA-4.6.1 to CA-4.6.4 will apply.
