As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group has no exposures to securitization structures, contracts that provide credit protection through credit derivatives and investments in other types of structured products. Credit risk mitigants on risk-weighted assets were based on collateralized transactions (margin deposits and hold-out on deposits) as well as guarantees by the Philippine National Government and those guarantors and exposures with highest credit ratings. Standardized credit risk weights were used in the credit assessment of asset exposures. Third party credit assessments were based on the ratings by Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch and PhilRatings on exposures to Sovereigns, MDBs, Banks, LGUs, Government Corporations and Corporates.
