In order to calculate the group solvency of an undertaking mentioned in the first paragraph of Article R. 356-8 which is a participating undertaking in a credit institution, investment firm or financial institution, this undertaking applies one of the two methods defined by order of the Minister responsible for the economy. The method chosen is applied consistently over time.
However, the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution, as group supervisor, may decide, for a particular group, at the request of the undertaking referred to in Article R. 356-8 or on its own initiative, to deduct any participation of an undertaking referred to in the first paragraph from the own funds eligible to cover the group’s solvency.
