Bahraini conventional bank licensees must look through the structure to identify those underlying assets for which the underlying exposure value is equal to or above 1 percent of total consolidated capital. In this case, the counterparty corresponding to each of the underlying assets must be identified so that these underlying exposures can be added to any other direct or indirect exposure to the same counterparty. The licensee’s exposure amount to the underlying assets that are below 1 percent of the licensee’s total consolidated capital may be assigned to the structure itself (i.e. partial Look-Through-Approach (‘LTA’) is permitted).
