Title[ Part 2: The First Pillar - Minimum Capital Requirements

Section[ 10. Past due loans



75.       The unsecured portion  of any loan (other than a qualifying residential mortgage loan) that is past due for more than 90 days, net of specific provisions (including partial write- offs), will be risk-weighted as follows:  30


w 150% risk  weight when specific provisions are less than 20% of the outstanding amount of the loan;


w 100% risk weight when specific provisions are no less than 20% of the outstanding amount of the loan;


w 100% risk weight when specific provisions are no less than 50% of the outstanding amount of the loan, but with supervisory discretion to reduce the risk weight to 50%.


76.       For  the  purpose  of  defining  the  secured  portion  of  the  past  due  loan,  eligible collateral and guarantees will be the same as for credit risk mitigation purposes (see Section II.B).31 Past due retail loans are to be excluded from the overall regulatory retail portfolio when  assessing  the  granularity  criterion  specified  in  paragraph  70,  for  risk-weighting purposes.


77.       In addition to the circumstances described in paragraph 75, where a past due loan is fully secured by those forms of collateral that are not recognised in paragraphs 145 and 146, a 100% risk weight may apply when provisions reach 15% of the outstanding amount of the loan. These forms of collateral are not recognised elsewhere in the standardised approach. Supervisors should set strict operational criteria to ensure the quality of collateral.


78.       In the case of qualifying residential mortgage loans, when such loans are past due for more than 90 days they will be risk weighted at 100%, net of specific provisions. If such loans are past due but specific provisions are no less than 20% of their outstanding amount, the risk weight applicable to the remainder of the loan can be reduced to 50% at national discretion.


30  Subject  to  national  discretion,  supervisors  may  permit  banks  to  treat  non-past  due  loans  extended  to counterparties subject to a 150% risk weight in the same way as past due loans described in paragraphs 75 to 77.


31   There will be a transitional period of three years during which a wider range of collateral may be recognised, subject to national discretion.
