Amendment 44 #
Proposal for a directive – amending act
Recital 14
(14) Since a loss arising from an exposure to a credit institutions or an investment firm can be as severe as a loss from any other exposure, such exposures should be treated and reported as any other exposures. In addition, very short-term exposures related to payment, clearing, settlement and custody services for clients are exempt to facilitate the smooth functioning of financial markets and of the related infrastructure. Those services cover, for example, the execution of cash clearing and settlement, corporate actions processing as well as securities lending and similar activities to facilitate settlement. The related exposures include, inter alia, balances on inter-bank accounts resulting directly or indirectly from client payments, including credited or debited fees and interest, and other payments for client services, as well as collateral given or received.
