Are you ready for the Standardized Credit Risk Assessments (SCRA) rules under Basel III?

The implementation of Basel III in the EU is entering its final phase, with the Standardized Approach for Credit Risk coming into effect on 1 January 2025. One of the key elements of this new approach is the Standardized Credit Risk Assessments (SCRA) for Exposure to Banks. The SCRA is a more risk-sensitive approach to credit risk than the current Standardized Approach. It requires banks to conduct more thorough due diligence and credit risk assessments for their exposures to banking counterparties. This can have a significant impact on the risk-weighted assets and capital held against these exposures. 

In this webinar, we will discuss the SCRA in detail, including: 

• The changes introduced with the Basel III paragraphs CRE 20.16 - 20.32 (Bank Exposures under Standardized Approach) 

• Why this matters and what challenges it poses to banks implementing Basel III 

• The elements necessary to solve for this particular requirement: analytical methodology, financial data inputs, benchmarks and credit risk expertise 

• A complete solution and a sample SCRA report designed by S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Credit and Risk Solutions team
