On 12 May 2022, the European Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation amending the regulatory technical standards (RTS) laid down in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 183/2014, as regards the specification of the calculation of specific and general credit risk adjustment. The Delegated Regulation is intended to address an anomaly regarding the sale of defaulted exposures, where a misalignment has been identified in the risk weight applied to those exposures by institutions selling them, and the risk weight applied to those exposures by institutions purchasing them. The Delegated Regulation introduces an amount to be included in the amount of specific credit risk adjustments used to determine the appropriate risk weight under Article 127(1) of the Capital Requirements Regulation. The amount used to determine the risk weight under that Article is designed in such a way that the purchase of a defaulted exposure with a discount equal to the amount of specific credit risk adjustments that were assigned to the exposure by the selling institution leaves the applicable risk weight unchanged.
