As part of the EBA (European Banking Authority) and Basel compliance requirements, Bank must design and implement a new Global Risk Product Category called 'Category C', specifically for the accurate reporting and handling of Second Order Risk to Bank's Wholesale counterparties, who are providing protection. Second Order Risk can be defined as third party exposure, where the Bank has a booked credit mitigation from one of its counterparties in their role as protection provider (Guarantor) to a separate Obligor (Bank client). This second order level of exposure is contingent on the first order risk against the obligor being crystallised. For example, the Second Order Risk against Client B (Protection provider) is only realised if Client A (Guarantee) defaults in the first place.
