The aggregate exposures to all counterparties within this category should not exceed 35% of the bank's consolidated capital base.
(c) The combined exposures: A combined exposure of (a)&(b) above (funded by unrestricted investment accounts and bank's own funds, and restricted investment accounts) whether funded or not funded, to an individual connected counterparty may not exceed 25% of the reporting bank's (consolidated) capital base.
(d) The aggregate exposures to connected counterparties: (whether funded from on balance sheet or restricted investment accounts) may not exceed 60% of the bank's (consolidated) capital base, whether funded or not funded.
