The main changes are due to two reasons:

  • Trends in the exposure: widespread increase in the market value of the positions, mainly China CITIC Bank (CNCB)
  • Regulatory changes: The equity investments of the insurers of capital have not been deducted (because they do not exceed the thresholds); their entire value is calculated with a weighting of 250%, as indicated in article 470 of the CRR.
