Dimensions
Dimension Member Description
(CreditEquivalentAmount)
This dimension identifies the measurement scenario under which the reported value was calculated.
The value reported is the credit equivalent amount, as determined in accordance with relevant prudential standards. The credit equivalent amount (CEA) represents the on-balance sheet equivalent of an off-balance sheet exposure. In relation to a non-market-related off-balance sheet transaction, the CEA is calculated by multiplying the notional principal amount of a particular transaction by the relevant credit conversion factor. In relation to a market-related off-balance sheet transaction, the CEA is determined using the adjusted current exposure method.
