Article 15 – General principles ⬅️ | ➡️ Article 17 – Specific factors relating to the estimation and discounting of expected cash flows
Article 16 - Selection of the measurement basis
1.
When selecting the most appropriate measurement basis or bases, the valuer, or the resolution authority where conducting a provisional valuation pursuant to 2021, shall take into account the range of resolution actions assessed in accordance with Article 15(1).
2.
The valuer, or the resolution authority where conducting a provisional valuation pursuant to 2021, shall determine, on the basis of fair, prudent and realistic assumptions, the cash flows that the CCP can expect from its existing assets and liabilities following the adoption of the resolution action or actions identified and discount them at an appropriate rate determined in accordance with paragraph 6.
3.
Cash flows shall be determined at the appropriate level of aggregation.
4.
Where the resolution actions referred to in Article 15(1) require assets and liabilities to be retained by a CCP that continues to be a going concern entity, the valuer shall use the hold value as the appropriate measurement basis. The hold value may, if considered fair, prudent and realistic by the valuer, or the resolution authority where conducting a provisional valuation pursuant to 2021, anticipate a normalisation of market conditions.
The hold value shall not be used as the measurement basis where assets are transferred to a bridge CCP pursuant to 2021, or where a sale of business tool pursuant to Article 40 of that Regulation is used.
5.
Where the resolution actions referred to in Article 15(1) envisage the sale of assets, the expected cash flows shall correspond to the disposal values referred to in Article 17(5) envisaged for the expected disposal horizon.
6.
The discount rates shall be determined having regard to the timing of cash flows, to the risk profile, financing costs and market conditions appropriate to the asset or liability being measured, to the disposal strategy considered and to the financial position of the CCP after resolution.
