Risk Management: Nordic Fixed Income Margin Methodology update (18/13)


New parameter estimation routine

In order to comply with EMIR regulation concerning measures to counter pro-cyclicality in margin requirements, a 10-year floor has been applied to the risk parameters for stress in PC1, PC2 and PC3. This explains the increased levels of risk parameters across the majority of the curves used in CFM in the end of August parameter update.

Updated Margin Guide and Replication Guide

An updated version of the CFM Margin Guide and a separate guide to replicating CFM margin requirements using API/interface files are now available.
