medium · Frm Part 2 Operational Risk

A bank calculates its Standardized Measurement Approach (SMA) capital.

If the Business Indicator Component (BIC) is $2.0 billion and the Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM) is 1.0, what is the operational risk capital, and what does an ILM = 1.0 imply about the bank's loss history?

  1. 2.0 billion; the bank's average losses are exactly aligned with the BIC benchmark.
  2. 2.0 billion; the bank has no internal loss data and must use the supervisor's default.
  3. 1.0 billion; the bank has a superior loss history compared to peers.
  4. 4.0 billion; the ILM acts as a floor that doubles the BIC.
