Prudential Regulation Authority Rulebook

1.

Collateral other than assets referred to in Article 416(1)(a), (b) and (c), which is posted by the institution for contracts listed in Annex II of the CRR and credit derivatives, shall be subject to an additional outflow of 20%.

2.

An institution shall notify the competent authority of all contracts entered into of which the contractual conditions lead to liquidity outflows or additional collateral needs, within 30 days after a material deterioration of the institution's credit quality. Where those contracts are material in relation to the potential liquidity outflows of the institution, the institution shall add an appropriate additional outflow for those contracts, which shall correspond to the additional collateral needs resulting from a material deterioration in its credit quality, such as a downgrade in its external credit assessment. The institution shall regularly review the extent of any such material deterioration in light of what is relevant under the contracts it has entered into, and shall notify the result of its review to the competent authority.

3.

The institution shall add an additional outflow which shall correspond to the collateral needs that would result from the impact of an adverse market scenario on its derivatives transactions if material.

4.

The institution shall add an additional outflow corresponding to the market value of securities or other assets sold short and to be delivered within the 30-day horizon unless the institution owns the securities to be delivered or has borrowed them at terms requiring their return only after the 30-day horizon and the securities do not form part of the institution’s liquid assets.

5.

The institution shall add an additional outflow corresponding to:

1. (a) the excess collateral the institution holds that can be contractually called at any time by the counterparty;
2. (b) collateral that is due to be returned to a counterparty;
3. (c) collateral that corresponds to assets that would qualify as liquid assets for the purposes of Article 416 that can be substituted for assets corresponding to assets that would not qualify as liquid assets for the purposes of Article 416 without the consent of the institution.

6.

Deposits received as collateral shall not be considered liabilities for the purposes of Article 422 but will be subject to the provisions of this Article where applicable.

[Note: This rule corresponds to Article 423 of the CRR as it applied immediately before revocation by the Treasury.]
