Abstract

The Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) has recently introduced the new standardised approach for measuring counterparty credit risk exposure (SA-CCR). The method will replace both the Current Exposure Method (CEM) and the Standardised Method (SM) in the capital adequacy framework. Dimitrios Karyampas and Fabrizio Anfuso highlight the pros and cons of the new approach through real life examples.
