CRR III: Implementation of
Basel Capital Requirements (Basel IV) in the EU
The Capital Requirements Regulation III (CRR III) represents a significant reform in the financial sector, applicable to all credit institutions and types of risk within the European Union from January 1, 2025. This reform aims to refine the Credit Risk Standard Approach (KSA) and achieve a more realistic representation of risk, even with continued standardized calculations of risk-weighted assets. It is essential for capital planning to anticipate foreseeable regulatory changes.
- Claims against institutions without external ratings: Instead of relying on the domicile country rating for claims against institutions without external ratings, the SCRA Approach is introduced, which utilizes regulatory metrics to derive risk weights, assigning risk weights between 30% (A) and 150% (C).
- Due Diligence Examination of Institutions with External Ratings: During the due diligence assessment of external risk weights, institutions must analyze the counterparty's risk profile. If it is evident that the risk weight derived from external ratings does not adequately reflect the actual risk, a higher risk weight must be applied. Any government support should not factor into the creditworthiness assessment. The examination can only result in higher risk weights; a reduction in risk weights, as in all other asset classes, is excluded.
