In addition the Committee seek feedback on a possible adjustment to the overall calibration of capital requirements calculated under the CVA standardised and basic approaches.

The proposed standards text has been prepared in a new modular format that adopts the style of the Basel framework . The Committee welcomes comments on the consultative document. Comments should be uploaded here by Tuesday 25 February 2020. All comments will be published on the website of the Bank for International Settlements unless a respondent specifically requests confidential treatment.
