Intra-group Support

Definition

Intra-group support consists of various types of support measures, in particular capital and liquidity support measures, extended between entities within a group in times of stress or unexpected loss.

Intra-group support measures are

• legally enforceable commitments for financial assistance or assurance made by one group entity (usually a parent) upon which another group entity (usually a subsidiary) can call in times of stress or unexpected loss
• or commitments which regulators would regard as reliable means of support.
