CA-1.1.7

For the measurement of their market risk, conventional bank licensees have a choice, subject to the written approval of the CBB, between two broad methodologies:

(a) One alternative is to measure the risks in a standardised approach, applying the measurement frameworks described in Chapters CA-9 to CA-13 of this Module; and
(b) The second alternative methodology (i.e. the IMM or internal models approach) is set out in detail in Chapter CA-14 including the procedure for obtaining the CBB's approval. This methodology is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. The use of this methodology is, therefore, conditional upon the explicit approval of the CBB.
