5.7. Calculation of RWAs – for On-Balance Sheet Exposures

(1) A Bank’s total RWAs for its on-balance-sheet items must be calculated as the sum of the riskweighted amounts of each of its on balance-sheet items.

(2) The RWA of an on-balance-sheet item must be calculated by multiplying its exposure (after taking into account any applicable Credit Risk Mitigation) by the applicable risk-weight in table 5B.

(3) If column 3 of table 5B states that the risk weight is “based on ECRA rating” for a particular asset, the applicable risk-weight for that asset item must be derived from the table 5C. If a claim or asset’s risk-weight is to be based on the ECRA rating and there is no such rating from an ECRA, the Bank must apply the risk-weight in the last column of table 5C.
