29. Expected credit losses

Estimates and assessments – applicable as of 1 January 2018

The allowance for expected credit losses is recognized in the financial statements in the following manner:

  • Financial assets measured at amortized cost: the allowance reduces the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; changes in the allowances amount are recognized in the income statement;
  • Off-balance sheet liabilities in respect of loans and financial guarantees: the allowance is presented as a provision under liabilities; changes in the provisions amount are recognized in the income statement;
  • Financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: the carrying amount of assets recognized at fair value is not additionally decreased by the allowances; however, each change in the measurement is divided into the impairment component, which is recognized in the income statement, and the component relating to other changes in the fair value measurement, which is recognized in other comprehensive income;
  • Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss: no allowances for expected credit losses are recognized.

Estimates and judgements – impairment allowances

With regard to impairment, the Group applies IFRS 9 which is based on the concept of expected losses. Impairment allowances for exposure reflect 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses on such exposures for a given financial asset.

The Group reviews the exposure on a monthly basis in order to verify evidence of impairment or evidence of a significant increase in the credit risk, and allocates them to one of 3 stages, accordingly:

Stage 1 –  exposures in which the credit risk is not significantly higher than upon initial recognition and no evidence of impairment is found;

Stage 2 –  exposures in which the credit risk is significantly higher than upon initial recognition, but no evidence of impairment is found;

Stage 3 –  assets in respect of which evidence of impairment is recognized, including assets granted or purchased with evidence of impairment recognized (upon being granted or purchased).

With regard to impairment, the Group applies IFRS 9 which is based on the concept of expected losses. The method for estimating allowances for expected credit losses is described in Note 4 “IFRS 9 Financial Instruments”.

2 The coverage ratio for impaired loans was determined as the ratio of total allowances for expected credit losses for loans and securities, excluding Treasury bonds measured at amortized cost and loans measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, less contractual (non-performing) interest as at 1 January 2018 covered by an impairment allowance for stage 3, to the gross amount of impaired exposures from these portfolios.
