(10)One of the novelties of the new market risk framework laid down in Part Three, Title IV, Chapter 1b, of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is the determination of own funds requirements on the basis of expected shortfall measures. It is necessary to ensure that institutions actively monitor the accuracy of those figures. It is therefore appropriate to require institutions to directly back-test their expected shortfall measures as part of the internal back-testing programme required by Article 325bj of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013. As there is not yet an established methodology among market participants for back-testing an expected shortfall measure, no specific methodology should be prescribed, and institutions should be left free to take into account the evolution of new techniques and best practices in that regard, in line with the qualitative requirements set out in Article 325bi of that Regulation.
