FINMA shall issue technical implementing provisions on the leverage ratio and total exposure. It shall base these on the LEV77. For the purpose of calculating the variation margin for derivatives, it shall permit the simplified standardised approach (CCR-VSA, Art. 58) in addition to the standardised approach for measuring counterparty credit risk, CCR-SA, Art. 57).
