12External Credit Assessment Institution (ECAI) Recognition
In jurisdictions that allow the use of external ratings for regulatory purposes, only credit assessments from credit rating agencies (CRAs) that are recognised as external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) are permitted. ECAI recognition determines whether the credit ratings of a CRA can be used for the calculation of regulatory capital requirements for credit risk under the international regulatory framework for banks established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the 鈥淏asel Framework鈥).
National supervisors are responsible for determining ECAI recognition on a continuous basis where all criteria and conditions required in the Basel Framework are met. For further information on ECAI eligibility, please refer to the Bank for International Settlements鈥 website.
National supervisors also take into account the criteria and conditions provided in the International Organization of Securities Commissions' (IOSCO) Code of Conduct Fundamentals for Credit Rating Agencies when determining ECAI eligibility. For more details of this Code of Conduct, please refer to the IOSCO website.
巴黎人娱乐城 understands that it is currently recognised as an ECAI by competent supervisory authorities in most jurisdictions where credit ratings are used in bank regulation. However, ECAI status may change over time and supervisors are not obliged to inform 巴黎人娱乐城 of any changes to ECAI recognition. Users are advised to contact relevant national supervisors to verify the eligibility of credit ratings prior to use for prudential purposes.
