The risk management framework must, in the case of country risk and transfer risk, be sufficiently robust to—

(a)identify and monitor exposures on an individual country basis in addition to an end-borrower or end-counterparty basis;
(b)ensure that country exposures are accurately monitored and reported in the central counterparty’s information systems, risk management systems and internal control systems;
(c)continuously ensure adherence to the central counterparty's established country exposure limits, and any other relevant limit that may be specified by the central counterparty or the Authority;
(d)monitor and evaluate developments in country risk and in transfer risk, and apply appropriate countermeasures; and
(e)raise appropriate provision for loss against country risk and transfer risk in addition to any relevant required loan-specific provision or impairment.
