Introduction and Purpose
On 13 Aug 2024, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) issued Questions and Answers (Q&As) on the revised market risk and CVA risk capital frameworks under the Banking (Capital) Rules (BCR) as amended by the Banking (Capital) (Amendment) Rules 2023 (BCAR), to facilitate consistent interpretation and application of the amended Part 8 and Part 8A of the BCR.
Scope and Nature of the Q&As
The Q&As are written in simple, non-legal language to address common interpretative issues arising from the amended BCR frameworks, specifically clarifying the application of the revised market risk and CVA risk capital requirements. The HKMA explicitly states that the Q&As do not substitute for reading the BCR itself or obtaining legal and professional advice on specific BCR matters, and updates may be issued in the future to address emerging interpretative issues or incorporate further Basel Committee guidance.
