Recital 11

(11) Corporate lending in the Union is predominantly provided by institutions which use the Internal Ratings Based Approach (the ‘IRB Approach’) for credit risk to calculate their own funds requirements. With the implementation of the output floor, those institutions will also need to apply the SA-CR, which relies on credit assessments provided by nominated external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs) to determine the credit quality of the corporate borrower. The mapping between external ratings and risk weights applicable to rated corporates should be more granular to bring such mapping in line with international standards on that matter.
