Where a Bahraini conventional bank licensee acting as agent in a SFT provides an indemnity or guarantee to a customer or counterparty for any difference between the value of the security or cash the customer has lent and the value of collateral the borrower has provided, then the Bahraini conventional bank licensee will be required to calculate its exposure measure by applying only Subparagraph 15.3.19(b).26
Added: October 2018
26 Where, in addition to the conditions in Paragraphs CA-15.3.21 to 15.3.23, a bank acting as an agent in a SFT does not provide an indemnity or guarantee to any of the involved parties, the bank is not exposed to the SFT and therefore need not recognise those SFTs in its exposure measure.
