CA-4.7.14

The value of such assets may be offset against the exposure amount to the customer, subject to the regulatory haircuts under the Standard Supervisory Haircut 12 Approach (CA-4.7.32 onwards) for leased assets mentioned in the paragraph CA-4.7.39. Ijarah receivables which comprise Residential Real Estate do not generally satisfy the conditions laid out in Paragraph CA-4.7.23 and therefore such receivables will be weighted at 75% and the collateral will not be recognised for risk mitigation purposes. If the bank can show legal evidence that it may exercise foreclosure, a risk weighting of 35% may be applied to the lease receivable in the case of residential property occupied by the customer. Commercial real estate may be used as collateral for Ijarah transactions as long as it satisfies the criteria of paragraph CA-4.7.23 (and the supervisory haircut is then applied).


12 The term 'haircut' in this context refers to a discount on the depreciated value of an asset as collateral after taking into consideration some inherent risks that affect the volatility of the market price or value of the asset. It is commonly expressed in terms of a percentage by which an asset's value as collateral is reduced.
