/KASE, August 14, 2024/ – By a decision of the Management Board of Directors
of KASE Clearing Centre JSC (KACC) dated July 31, 2024, the internal
document of KACC "Methodology for calculating stress collateral"
(Methodology) was approved, with effect as of September 15, 2024.
The new Methodology has been developed in accordance with international
standards in order to improve the risk management system:
- the calculation of the initial margin rate includes a stress buffer of 25 %
of the weight of stress observations, consistent with EMIR standards and
business practices in the market;
- requirements have been established for an additional type of margin
collateral – stress collateral, which is the individual collateral of a
clearing participant in the stock and foreign exchange markets, determined
by the Clearing Centre using risk parameters for stress, in order to cover
credit and market risks, as well as systemic risk for transactions with
financial instruments.
