The result of this calculation is adjusted to take account of probable losses due to counterparty default. This adjustment is based on an assessment of the probability of default by the counterparty and the resulting average loss, i.e. the loss given default.
The methods for calculating this adjustment are set out in Articles 42 and 57 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2015/35 of 10 October 2014.
