Scenario C/E 4: Upstream contagion

The control relationship between B and B¹ does not automatically lead to including B in the group of connected clients of A, as financial problems for A are not likely to result in financial difficulties for B. However, the controlling entity B needs to be included in the group of A if B¹ forms such an important part of group B that B is economically dependent on B¹ . In this case, the financial difficulties of A will proceed not only downwards but also upwards to B, causing payment difficulties for B (i.e. all entities now form a single risk).
