Credit risk - standardised approach

This supervisory statement sets out the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA’s) expectations in respect of certain aspects of a firm's application of the standardised approach to credit risk.

• exposures to institutions;
• third country equivalence;
• the monetary threshold for retail exposures;
• Ijara mortgages;
• buy-to-let mortgages; 
• exposures in default;
• items associated with particularly high risk; and
• the interim mapping of external credit assessments to credit quality steps.
