In order to limit the credit risk in respect of derivative transactions and securities transactions, the Group concludes with its counterparties framework agreements (under the ZBP, ISDA and ICMA standards). The framework agreements allow to offset mutual amounts payable (reduction of the settlement risk) and non-payable (reduction of pre- settlement risk), resulting from transactions, and also utilize the close-out netting mechanism upon termination of the framework agreement as a result of default or an event justifying termination with regard to one or both parties to the agreement.
Moreover, the Group concludes with its counterparties collateral agreements (CSA – Credit Support Annex under the ISDA standard, or a Collateral Agreement under the ZBP standard), under which each party undertakes, upon meeting the premises stipulated therein, to establish appropriate collateral together with the right to offset. Exemptions include derivative transactions concluded between members of the Group: PKO Bank Polski S.A. and PKO Bank Hipoteczny S.A., which have been exempted from the obligations imposed by the EMIR Regulation regarding the exchange of collateral.
The Group had access to two clearing houses (CCP) through which it settles clears interest rate derivative transactions specified in the EMIR Regulation with selected domestic and foreign counterparties.
As of 1 September 2022, the Group entered into the Initial Margin (IM) exchange requirement under the EMIR Regulation. The requirement applies to certain types of derivative transactions, not cleared at a CCP, entered into on or after 1 September 2022 with counterparties that have also entered into the requirement. Initial margin is deposited with the depositary by the two parties to the transaction, in the form of acceptable securities, when the so-called IM threshold (the amount by which the IM threshold is reduced) is exceeded. The amount of the calculated IM requirement is monitored until the threshold IM is exceeded. The Group signs IM documentation with its counterparties, based on the ISDA standard.
