Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) The application of IFRS 9 during the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to a sudden significant increase in (i) expected credit loss provisions, as for many exposures expected losses over their lifetime may need to be calculated, for assets at amortized cost; and (ii) net unrealised losses on assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income(OCI). The BCBS agreed on 3 April 2020 to allow more flexibility in the implementation of the transitional arrangements that phase in the impact of IFRS 9. In order to limit the possible volatility of regulatory capital that may occur if the COVID-19 crisis results in a significant increase in expected credit loss provisions, it is necessary to extend the transitional arrangements also in Union law.
Amendment 31 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) To mitigate the potential impact that a sudden increase in expected credit loss provisions and net unrealised losses on assets measured at fair value through OCI may have on institutions’ capacity to lend to clients at times when it is most needed, the transitional arrangements should be extended by two years and institutions should be allowed to fully add- back to their Common Equity Tier 1 capital any increase in new expected credit loss provisions and net unrealised losses on assets measured at fair value through OCI that they recognise in 2020 and 2021 for their financial assets, which are not credit-impaired. This would bring additional relief to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on institutions’ possible rise in provisioning needs and unrealised losses under IFRS 9 while maintaining the transitional arrangements for the expected credit loss amounts established before the pandemic of COVID-19.
