1)The capital required for the risk of possible value adjustments of derivatives (CVA risk) is calculated according to the standardised approach. CVA = Credit valuation adjustments
The slight increase in the value of risk-weighted positions for credit risk compared with the middle of the year is mainly attributable to the growth in lending in the second half of the year. The higher amount for counterparty credit risk can be explained by an increase in securities financing transactions. The decline in risk-weighted exposures for market risk in the second half of the year is particularly due to lower equity and foreign currency risks. The capital required for operational risks is recalculated once a year at year-end in accordance with the standardised approach and is generally based on financial reporting data.
