RM-2.2.17

Islamic bank licensees must develop and implement appropriate risk measurement and reporting methodologies relevant to each Islamic financing instrument in respect of managing their counterparty risks, which may arise at different contract stages (including counterparty performance risk in Salam and Istisna' contracts). Depending on the Islamic financing instrument, the Islamic bank licensees must employ an appropriate methodology that takes into account the price volatilities of the underlying assets. The selected methodology must be appropriate given the nature, size and complexity of the Islamic bank licensee's credit related activities. Islamic bank licensees must ensure that adequate systems and resources are available to implement this methodology.
