must be disclosed.• RWAIM and RWASA should be reported and disclosed at the level of the
exposure classes• The floor must be maintained at all levels (solo, subgroup, group).• No adjustment to floor calculation to take account of the different treatment of
credit risk adjustments in the CRSA and IRBA (analogous to Basel specification)

• RW = 250% for equity• RW = 150% for subordinated debt and capital
instruments and for liabilities meeting the definition of 'other TLAC liabilities’
• RW = 400% for speculative unlisted equity investments
• No adoption of the Basel exemption for equity entered into within the framework of national support programmes
• Debt/equity swaps from the restructuring of receivables are generally allocated to the exposure class and receive a risk weight of 250% or 400% respectively.
• Equity and subordinated liabilities currently classified as positions with a particularly high risk receive a risk weight of 250% or 400% respectively.
• RW = 75% for sufficiently granular portfolios (to be interpreted by EBA RTS)
• RW = 45% for "Transactor" exposures, e.g. from credit card receivables, if these have always been repaid in due time within the past 12 months.
• RW = 100% for exposures to an individual or persons who do not meet all criteria, unless they are secured by real estate.
• The standard risk weight for all other assets is 100%.
• A risk weight of 0% applies to holdings of cash and gold bars held at the bank (or at another bank, provided that they are kept in a safe place to avoid insolvency).
• 20% risk weight for cash receivables in the process of being collected
• Approximation of the definition of the residual value of leased assets in the CRSA and IRBA as the carrying amount at the end of the lease term, after deduction of minimum lease payments and purchase options (current distinction between exposure value and residual value).

*Assumptions:
• Banks' balance sheets were assumed to be static
• Given the uncertainty about the impact, the underlying data are likely to reflect conservative reporting by banks
• The analysis assumes that current EU-specific decisions and exemptions will be discontinued and that the impact will fully reflect existing global standards.
• This assessment includes the impact of Pillar 2 and the macro-prudential requirements assumed to be static in the analysis compared to the previously presented Basel impact analyses.
• Due to the late finalization of the FRTB, the effects were determined based on the calibration of the market risk regulations of 2016. The inclusion of the recently adopted FRTB reform would reduce the impact.

Under the standardised approach, Basel IV leads to an increase in RWA of 21-28%.For some portfolios, the exact increasecan only be estimated when additional information is collected(e.g. income-producing real estate).The new partial use allows the IRB approach to be implemented only for certain portfolios.
With the introduction of the IRBA for retail exposures and exposures secured by real estate, total RWA could fall 7% from current levels and remain above the output floor.RWA optimization could further improve the results, e.g. it helps to reduce the RWA for the standard approach.

It is recommended to define more granular subportfolios in order to approximate the floor compensation effect even more precisely.

6.227,75RWA based on capital floor
RWA increase through capital floor
Taking into account the capital floor, the cost of capital can only be calculated as a "marginal contribution to total RWA".
This is because the granting of credit does notlead to a proportional increase in the RWA compared with the loan amount (EAD).

Calculation of the cost of capital for additional exposures must in future be carried out via “marginal contribution to total RWA”

EAD 5,00
RW Standardised approach 10%
RWA isolated 0,50
Total RWA (incl. new exposure) 6.228,11

The new exposure does not increase EUROPA BANK's total RWA by
but rather by the capital floor and the resulting
floor compensation effect, the RWA only increase by
!
1. Loan amount
2. Average RW (PD/LGD/EAD/KSA-RW) of the exposure class concerned
3. Share of partial-use exposure classes
4. Average RW (PD/LGD/EAD/KSA-RW) of all other exposure classes
The correct calculation of the cost of capital for lending is carried out by calculating the effects on the total
RWA.
Since the influencing factors on the floor compensation effect are subject to fluctuations over time, these factors must be simulated on the basis of the business/capital plan.
The level of the floor compensation effect is determined by:
15October 2019CRR II and Basel IV
EXAMPLE
PwC
The actual cost of capital can be approximated by RWA sensitivities
CRR II and Basel IV October 201916
The RWA sensitivities express the sensitivity of the total RWA compared to the exposure increase.
Alternatively, the RWA sensitivities can also be described as "marginal risk weights" based on a given portfolio.
If the RWA sensitivities are known, it is easy to optimize the RWA/ capital costs.

Therefore, a completely new form of capital allocation must be implemented, which can reflect the positive effects as well as the negative effects of the capital floor.
Capital allocation to individual portfolios taking into account the capital floor
CRR II and Basel IV October 201917
Capital allocation today is based on capital requirements / capital demands of individual portfolios / business units
Example EUROPA BANKThe Retail unit comprises the following asset classes
Retail other 525retail mortgages 300Retail revolving 175sum 1,000
The Corporate unit comprises the following asset classes

The future capital floor leads to compensation effects between the portfolios and risk types.
Positive effects are allocated to a floor RWA fund, negative effects to a floor add on. These can be allocated according to the polluter.
