Art. 98 Small non-financial counterparties
1 A non-financial counterparty is deemed to be small if all of the rolling averages for its gross positions in relevant outstanding OTC derivatives transactions calculated over 30 working days are below the thresholds. 2 If one of the average gross positions of an existing small non-financial counterparty calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 exceeds the relevant threshold, said counterparty will no longer be deemed small four months after the threshold is exceeded. 3 Derivatives transactions intended to reduce risks are not factored into the calculation of the average gross position if they are directly associated with the business activity, liquidity management or asset management of the counterparty or group. |
