A simple and innocuous enough looking provision. Ahh, but what to make of the definition of [[borrowed money]]? Could it include [[repo]]? (No, according to Simon Firth - see [[borrowed money|here]])
A simple and innocuous enough provision. Almost redundant — why go to the trouble of defining borrowed money as another term? (because some firms, in their infinite wisdom, will wish to change the definition of borrowed money to include derivatives, other trading exposures, or even any payment obligations of any kind, and Specified Indebtedness is a (somewhat) less loaded label than  borrowed money)<ref>By the way, the JC warmly recommends you do not widen the definition beyond the normal conception of borrowed money, and if you are a bank, may wish to narrow it, to exclude deposits - see Cross Default for more information.</ref>.
 
In any case, what to make of the definition of [[borrowed money]]? Could it include [[repo]]? (No, according to Simon Firth - see [[borrowed money|here]])
