The Counterparty Risk Capital Component is calculated in accordance with BIPRU 14.2.1 and is zero.

The company's Foreign Currency PRR is calculated on its trading book debtors and creditors which are denominated in foreign currency and also its bank accounts, some of which are in the same currencies. The Foreign Currency PRR is calculated in accordance with BIPRU 7.5 and totals zero. The company's Equity PRR, the Interest Rate PRR and the Commodity PRR are also all zero.
