1. The capital requirement for liability risk shall be equal to the following:
\mathrm{SCR}_{\mathrm{liability}} = \sqrt{\sum_{(i,j)} \mathrm{Corr}_{(\mathrm{liability},i,j)} \cdot \mathrm{SCR}_{(\mathrm{liability},i)} \cdot \mathrm{SCR}_{(\mathrm{liability},j)}}
where:
the sum includes all possible combinations of liability risk groups (i,j) as set out in Annex XI;
Corr(liability,i,j)denotes the correlation coefficient for liability risk of liability risk groupsiandjas set out in Annex XI;
SCR(liability,i)denotes the capital requirement for liability risk of liability risk groupi.
2. For all liability risk groups set out in Annex XI the capital requirement for liability risk of a particular liability risk group i shall be equal to the loss in basic own funds of insurance and reinsurance undertakings that would result from an instantaneous loss of an amount that, without deduction of the amounts recoverable from reinsurance contracts and special purpose vehicles, is equal to the following:
L_{(\mathrm{liability},i)} = \mathrm{f}_{(\mathrm{liability},i)} \cdot \mathrm{P}_{(\mathrm{liability},i)}
where:
f(liability,i)denotes the risk factor for liability risk groupias set out in Annex XI;
P(liability,i)denotes the premiums earned by the insurance or reinsurance undertaking during the following 12 months in relation to insurance and reinsurance obligations in liability risk groupi; for this purpose premiums shall be gross, without deduction of premiums for reinsurance contracts.
3. The calculation of the loss in basic own funds referred to in paragraph 2 shall be based on the following assumptions:
the loss of liability risk groupiis caused byniclaims and the losses caused by these claims are representative for the business of the insurance or reinsurance undertaking in liability risk groupiand sum up to the loss of liability risk groupi;
the number of claimsniis equal to the lowest integer that exceeds the following amount:where:(i)f(liability,i)andP(liability,i)are defined as in paragraph 2;(ii)Lim(i,1)denotes the largest liability limit of indemnity provided by the insurance or reinsurance undertaking in liability risk groupi;
f(liability,i)andP(liability,i)are defined as in paragraph 2;
Lim(i,1)denotes the largest liability limit of indemnity provided by the insurance or reinsurance undertaking in liability risk groupi;
where the insurance or reinsurance undertaking provides unlimited cover in liability risk groupi, the number of claimsniis equal to one.
\frac{\mathrm{f}_{(\mathrm{liability},i)} \cdot \mathrm{P}_{(\mathrm{liability},i)}}{1.15 \cdot \mathrm{Lim}_{(i,1)}}
