When marking to market (see GENPRU 1.3.14 R to GENPRU 1.3.16 R (General requirements: Marking to market)) for the purposes of valuing a trading book item for the purpose of BIPRU 14 (Capital requirements for settlement and counterparty risk), a firm may choose between using the mid market value and the more prudent side of bid/offer whether or not the firm is a significant market maker in the item concerned. A firm must be consistent in the basis it chooses.
