167
Table of ContentsThe Market Risk Management unit is responsible for reporting to the relevant Treasury units about the state of all risk limits in a timely fashion. In addition, the Treasury units and senior ALCO members are notified whenever a limit is exceeded. Limit excesses are not permitted unless operational errors have occurred. If any risk limit is exceeded, the responsible Treasury unit must document the causes of the excess and it may require a permanent limit increase only after curing the excess. Temporary limit increases may be requested but such requests must be made prior to entering into any transactions that may generate excesses. Limits are reviewed and approved annually unless market conditions or a business activity increase requires increased limits (in such a case, a risk-return analysis is implemented, taking the current conditions into consideration). |
