The course is divided into four main topics and an end-of-course assessment. After completing the training content, you must score 80% or higher in the assessment to receive credit for this course.
Note: "Citi," "we," and "our" references throughout this training refer to CEP and/or CGME.
Citi does not use all regulatory methodologies and calculations outlined in the regulation. We use only those that are the most appropriate based on the products positions are taken in; regulatory capital impacts; Citi's scope of waivers and permissions; legal entity size and operational considerations.
For example, we do not apply the Internal Ratings Based (IRB) Approach as it lacks the relevant waiver and, due to regulatory capital impacts, we typically use standardised and rather than simplified approaches.
Our Model Sponsors, as described in the Citi Model Risk Management Policy, must ensure appropriate regulatory notification to the Joint Supervisory Team (JST) for model extensions and changes to our counterparty credit and market risk internal models, including any changes to our modeling assumptions. For CEP and CGME, regulatory notification is performed by the respective Legal Entity Risk Analytics Model Governance (LERAG) team, in line with respective Procedures.
Model changes and extensions to be notified1 include those that may result in either a material increase or decrease to RWA or that fulfil qualitative criteria as set out in the relevant regulation. Citi is required to obtain pre-approval from the JST for any planned model changes that will have a material impact on RWA or extensions to the scope of the Pillar 1 permission. The LERAG team maintains the IMA or IMM Model Change procedures for the respective Legal Entity, which outlines notification criteria and conditions including respective responsibilities.
1 Materiality for model changes is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative assessments.
CEP and CGME must maintain regulatory capital buffers above the stated minimum regulatory capital requirements to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions (e.g., dividends) and discretionary bonus payments. These regulatory capital buffers are available to absorb losses in advance of any potential impairment of regulatory capital below the stated minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements.
To proceed, select each buffer to learn about the requirements.
Capital Conservation Buffer
CEP and CGME are subject to a fixed 2.5% Capital Conservation Buffer, which is comprised entirely of CET1 Capital.
Countercyclical Capital Buffer
In addition, CEP and CGME are subject to a Countercyclical Capital Buffer.
This buffer is determined by:
Other Systemically Important Institution (O-SII) Buffer
CEP is also subject to an O-SII Buffer.
The objective of this buffer is to reduce the probability of failure of a systemically important institution. The buffer enhances the resilience of these institutions, which are systemically important due to the scale or nature of their business, by providing an additional layer of loss-absorbing capital. A higher capital requirement for these institutions acknowledges the greater impact of their failure.
As noted earlier in the Regulatory Capital Buffers section, we must maintain several regulatory capital buffers above the stated minimum regulatory capital ratio requirements and maintain a leverage ratio buffer above the stated minimum leverage ratio, which is currently set to 0%.
To proceed, select each area to learn the effect if Citi breaches the required buffers.
If we were to breach the Capital Conservation, Countercyclical, O-SII, or leverage ratio buffer requirements, we must produce a Capital Conservation Plan and be subject to limitations on capital distributions (e.g., dividends) and discretionary bonus payments, with increasing restrictions based upon the severity of the breach.
We must not make any distributions on CET1 instruments, pay, or create discretionary bonus payments in excess of our Maximum Distributable Amount (MDA).

We calculate MDA as interim profits plus year-end profits not included in CET1, less foreseeable dividends, tax, and any of the limitations noted above, multiplied by the following factors:

MREL is defined as the sum of own funds and eligible liability instruments.
Citi is required to maintain minimum levels of MREL, set by reference to total risk-weighted assets (RWA) and total leverage exposure.
If we were to seek to reduce, redeem, repurchase, repay, or exercise a call in relation to any element of our own funds or eligible liabilities, then we must follow the conditions set forth within the regulation.
