Is the letter of credit an open transaction?
"Letter of credit exposure" is a kind of "risk exposure".

Generally speaking, if the bank gives the lender an unsecured working capital loan of 5 million, the risk exposure is 5 million; If the bank gives the borrower a "bank acceptance bill" with a deposit of 30%, the risk exposure is 500 x (1-30%) = 3.5 million.
