If a 2-notch downgrade is specified, then the downgrade impact amount will outflow only for those accounts that have a trigger of 1-notch and 2-notches.The ratings downgrade and the outflow percentage as specified by the regulator are part of the pre-configured business assumptions for LCR calculations.
