Question
We are also seeking clarification regarding which risk-free rate (RFR) curves Spain expects to require under the new framework. Our current interpretation of the technical documentation is that curve requirements are driven by the currency of liabilities, rather than the currency of assets. Based on that reading, a Spanish undertaking with EUR liabilities would primarily use the EUR curve, while additional curves would be relevant only where liabilities exist in other currencies. Could you please confirm whether this aligns with your understanding?
