IFRS 9 Financial Instruments represents the most fundamental change to a financial institution’s accounting methodology, risk management practices and operational processes

The adoption of IFRS 9 will require significant enhancements to a financial institution’s organizational engagement, data,systems, quantitative models and governance, amongst other areas. The methodology under IFRS 9 will also introducemore judgment, complexity and volatility in reporting, resulting in a need for intensive oversight and enhanced stakeholderscrutiny.

Furthermore, the impact on the financial institutions’ operational processes and financial reporting will not be limited to thetransition period and adoption date. It is expected to continue well after the implementation date of the standard (1 January2018) due to the scale of change required by the standard and the availability of public information in the post-implementation period.

In 2016, EY performed a second IFRS 9 global impairment survey and engaged 36 financial institutions to participate,including 14 global systemically important banks (G-SIBs). The survey is intended to assess the “state of readiness” in theimplementation of the IFRS 9 program with a particular focus on impairment.

This paper outlines the survey results across the global participants and provides a view on the current status of theoverall IFRS 9 program, including how banks are structuring the implementation plan, decisions around critical policieswithin the expected credit loss methodology and the level of compliance with the Enhanced Disclosure Task Force (EDTF)recommendations.

For further insights on this topic, please get in touch with the contacts provided in the appendix to this survey or your localEY contact. We would be glad to assist you if you would like to discuss the results contained in this report, including whereyour institution falls within the benchmarking study.

Introduction

Participants Profile

► We surveyed 36 top tier IFRS-reporting financial institutions worldwide

► 17 have a balance sheet in excess of €600b; 9 have a balance sheet between €200b and €600b

► 14 banks are global systemically important banks (G-SIBs)

► 15 banks are under the scope of Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)

► 22 banks use advanced internal rating based approach (A-IRB) for all of their portfolios

► EY first conducted an IFRS 9 survey in June 2015 to provide participants with a “state of readiness” benchmark,and to identify emerging trends in the implementation of the new standard. This second round conducted inSpring 2016 captures the progress made by banks over the past nine months. All results are presented on ananonymous basis

The Survey

► Banks have made significant developments in the past nine months on the implementation of their impairmentprogram. Most banks are progressing well into the build phase in this workstream, with a focus on identifyingdata and system requirements in order to advance towards the deploy phase

► While certain impairment policy decisions are still under debate (i.e., multiple scenarios), we expect thatparticipants will continue to refine their policies leading up to the parallel run as we observe greater marketconvergence on these topics

► There has been some development on classification and measurement (C&M), albeit at a slower pace thanimpairment. This is consistent with the relative view of complexity associated with C&M. However, banks shouldnot underestimate the IFRS 9 requirements in this area, particularly with regards to the test of solely payment ofprincipal and interest (SPPI) for non-standardized contracts

► Most banks expect to start a full parallel run in Q1 2017, although some banks have had to delay this to Q2 oreven Q3 in the face of slower progress than expected due to scope increases and updates to implementationguidance

► Most banks expect to disclose a first quantitative impact assessment to the markets during 2017

A shift to the build phase:

► Most banks have now moved into the build phase, especiallyon modeling (see pages 32-36), data and systems, whichbanks have prioritized

► As policy and design decisions are being finalized, with certaintopics under development, including multiple scenarios, mostbanks aim to allow flexibility for refinements

Data is widely seen as one of the major challenges of IFRS 9:

► IFRS 9 poses numerous challenges with regards to availability(historic data at origination for stage allocation, specificfeatures for classification, external market data formeasurement), granularity (for disclosures and managementinformation), quality and storage

► Most banks have, therefore, started identifying data gaps earlyon in their programs. Most have focused their disclosureefforts on quantitative disclosures and related data points

Banks are at an early stage on designing and implementing theend to end target operating model:

► Banks are often still focused on the deployment of models tomeet the immediate requirements of the standard, as opposedto delivering an end-to-end credit risk reporting solution tosupport the monthly business as usual (BAU) impairmentresults production

► Numerous significant areas of judgment will require robustgovernance and control process which are transparent toauditors and external stakeholders

Banks are still in the design phase for policy, BMA and SPPI:

► Efforts invested seem proportional to the impact banks expectat transition on their balance sheets, with around a quarter ofbanks having started bottom-up SPPI testing back to thecontracts

► A few banks referred to open questions remaining on technicalinterpretation of IFRS 9 (e.g., on certain prepayment options)

Banks have focused less on data, systems, operating modeland control framework:

► These workstreams have a significant dependency on thefinancial impact assessment (BMA and SPPI)

► Most banks are still in the process of performing a data gapanalysis — new data fields to track term features for BAUgovernance around SPPI, market data required for thevaluation of portfolios transferring to fair value through profit orloss (FVTPL), new data points for statutory and regulatorydisclosure requirements

► Embedding BMA and SPPI in BAU processes will requireenhancing trade capture and new product approval processes,as well as the governance around central storage ofstandardized contracts. Other processes impacted includestructuring, impairment, valuation, hedge accounting andreporting

1. IFRS 9 projectIFRS 9 hedge accounting

Most banks will not apply IFRS 9 hedge accounting in 2018:

► As they are awaiting for further clarity and progress on theInternational Accounting Standards Board (IASB) macro-hedge project, and in the context of the wider cost reductionagenda, banks are cautious not to spend too much, too early,on their IFRS 9 hedge accounting program. This may all needto change once the outcome of the macro project is known

► Banks also see little benefit in applying the standard, and afew stated their hedging strategy is mainly macro hedging

New disclosure requirements:

► Banks are required to apply new disclosure requirements forhedge accounting from 1 January 2018 onwards, irrespectiveof whether they will apply IFRS 9 hedge accounting then.New disclosures relate to risk management strategy for eachhedged exposure, the amount, timing and uncertainty of futurecash flows, the effects of hedge accounting on financialposition and performance, and the option to designate a creditexposure at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

Implementation governance

► There is a clear trend for the implementation efforts of C&Mand hedge accounting to be predominantly led by Finance

► Impairment continues to be jointly governed by both Financeand Risk. The joint leadership between Finance and Risk ofthe impairment project will require banks to clearly articulatethe roles and responsibilities across both functions within adetailed target operating model

► Additional success factors in the project implementationinclude the integration of interactions with other functionalunits such as operations, IT and affected business units

► A number of banks are working to enhance their existingcontrol framework in this area due to the intricacies within theIFRS 9 end-to-end processes

Centralized implementation efforts

► Project coordination is generally aligned with the operatingmodel, with half of the participants applying an exclusivelycentralized implementation, where possible, depending on ITinfrastructure, geographical constraints and local regulatoryrequirements

► Banks have indicated that they need a robust communicationstrategy in terms of disseminating information to the relevantdepartment or business units when using a centralizedimplementation

Calculating IFRS 9 numbers in a tactical platform

Tactical platform

► Calculating IFRS 9 numbers within a tactical platform will bean imperative first-step in determining the impact of thestandard. It will also provide useful information to participantson data issues and system limitations that will requireresolution prior to the parallel run

► Over half of the participants have indicated that they will havethe ability to generate impairment figures within a tacticalplatform by the end of 2016, with just under one third ofparticipants reporting that they currently have this platform inplace

Parallel run

► Only a third of participants plan to complete at least a 9 monthparallel run of IAS 39 and IFRS 9 figures. This figure hasdeclined compared to our previous survey where more thanhalf of participants intended to perform at least 12 months ofparallel run

► The majority of the large European and global banks will havecompleted at least one reporting period under a parallel run in2017

1. IFRS 9 projectBudget

► As expected, there was a very wide range of budgets for IFRS9, with an element of uncertainty on the actual spend forimplementation

► While larger and more global banks are spending more thansmaller locally focused banks, the scale of cost does notappear linearly related to the size of the bank. For example, alarger bank may have budgeted 25x the cost, but the balancesheet is only 10x larger. This strikingly illustrates the costdifferences with implementing more complicated solutions

► While impairment remains the costlier element of IFRS 9implementation, there is a wide range of cost estimates forC&M. The banks with the larger C&M budgets are moreadvanced with their programs, suggesting many of the bankswith low cost estimates for C&M may be underestimating thecost and complexity

1. IFRS 9 projectSynergies

► There are many areas within most banks that are either beingleveraged for the benefit of IFRS 9, or subject to the samegovernance process to ensure consistency and accuracy

► In terms of leveraging existing or developing processes forIFRS 9, the two areas most cited are:

► roll out of IRB models, which are generally used as astarting point for IFRS 9 impairment calculations, butthen developed and operated as separate models

► data improvement initiatives, such as BCBS 239 ordata warehouse developments

► For governance, the three areas most cited are:

► stress testing to ensure consistency (whereappropriate) in the forward looking information beingused; the IFRS 9 platform will generally be leveragedfor stress testing going forward

► capital planning and ICAAP to ensure some level ofintegration between IFRS 9, risk managementframework and overall capital management

► FinRep, given the template information that requiresreporting has an element of IFRS 9

► While governance may cover and promote consistency (whereapplicable) between IFRS 9, regulatory capital calculations,and stress testing, there was little indication that the processesthemselves have a high degree of overlap

1. IFRS 9 projectEffective interest rate (EIR) approach

► EIR impacts both the discounting in IFRS 9 models as well asthe measurement of interest revenue

► The majority of banks noted they will not revisit their currentEIR approach as a result of the introduction of IFRS 9 on thegrounds that there is no material difference with their currentshort-cuts, however some are keeping their options open (seeslide 35)

► As part of its implementation of IFRS 9, a bank will need toconsider whether approximations used in determining EIRsunder IAS 39 remain appropriate given the more significantrole that discounting has in measuring impairment under IFRS9 (e.g. discounting of cash shortfalls that may occur a numberof years into the future)

► Of the banks that have determined they need to remove shortcuts (such as straight line approximation), some noted thatthey will do this due to emphases on the discounting andincome that will be magnified under IFRS 9

Use of month-end data for stage allocation and ECLcalculation

► Although participants aim to use data as current as possible,especially for year-end reporting, many recognize that they willhave to use lagged data in order to meet financial closetimelines

► Most banks planning to use prior period data referred to atime-lag of one month; a few referred to a time-lag between acouple of days and 3 months

► In a number of cases it depends on portfolios (corporates databeing less timely), legal entities, and type of data

► Lagging data would be adjusted for significant eventsoccurring prior to closing (e.g. in credit and volumes), andrelated governance is still in development. This is an area ofsubjectivity and will likely gain external audit attention

Data

► Most banks have identified data gaps early on in theirprograms (e.g. lifetime PD curves at origination, certainunlikely to pay factors, date of transfer to stage 3) in order todevelop data remediation solutions. Data gaps not onlyinclude data limitations but also data reconciliation issues (i.e.data mismatch)

► Most banks are in the process of documenting a datataxonomy (e.g. detailed glossary) and establishing sourcingprocesses in an iterative manner

All banks consider using a combination of quantitative and qualitative drivers structured as primary and secondary drivers, plusbackstops. The primary driver is meant to be the most early indicator and is generally based on a relative measure while theothers cover more obvious (absolute) signs of deterioration such as forbearance or delinquency

Primary drivers - the survey reveals two major trends:

► Use of IFRS 9 lifetime probability of default (PDs), guided by scores and ratings, OR

► Use of Basel adjusted 12M PD or scores (often equivalent) for retail exposures or use of ratings for corporate exposures

Secondary drivers and backstops - Answers are homogeneous around using forbearance, delinquency (mainly 30 days pastdue (DPD) as a backstop), watchlists or a combination of those. As expected, watchlists are less frequently mentioned for retailcompared to corporates. Also retail watchlists concepts tend to largely overlap with forbearance, delinquency as well as fixedlevels of scores or PDs

Use of variation of 12M PD - Banks will have to demonstrate that they are not missing any significant increase in risk of a defaultbeyond 12 months. This may require further adjustments based on macroeconomic forecasts. However, these indicators are stillconsidered very relevant as they are well understood and have been used and tested for a long time

Use of variation of lifetime PD - The obvious challenge on transition is to have data available at origination date for existingportfolios (including forward looking information). Some banks mentioned they would have to use proxies on transition (Baselscores, through the cycle (TTC) PDs, latest information available or lending policy cut-offs)

Use of variation of ratings – Ratings are considered more forward-looking by nature as they involve more expert judgmentbased on a wider range of information, including more prospective information (borrower’s financials, sectorial information etc.)and look beyond a 12 month horizon. Depending on their calibration, they may also require demonstrating the associated PDsreflect current circumstances and reasonable forecasts

Transitional vs. strategic approach - The challenges faced on transition are obviously less significant for banks using Baselscores or PD although some issues may still arise depending on when the IRB models were built. It remains to be seen whetherin the longer term, the development and increasing use of lifetime PD curve (including forward-looking elements) may result inmore convergence towards the use of this more sophisticated quantitative measure

Primary drivers► Around half of the banks converge towards using IFRS 9

lifetime PDs as their main indicator. Although not alwaysspecified, this generally means comparing the averagemarginal PDs over the residual term to what was expected atinception for the same period

► The other half intends to use Basel 12M PD or scores(generally equivalent measures). Among these banks, a fewbanks mentioned they would use fixed levels of score (i.e. anabsolute measure). They consider this is a good proxy forassessing deterioration and easier to operationalise

► A few banks mention using IFRS 9 12M PD (with onementioning adjustments to reflect longer term expectations).Compared to Basel PD, these measures would not becalibrated through a cycle

Secondary drivers and backstops► Answers are very homogeneous around using forbearance,

delinquency (mainly mentioned as a backstop), watchlists or acombination of those

► Retail watchlists are more mechanical than for corporateexposures and tend to largely overlap with forbearance,delinquency as well as fixed levels of scores or PDs

► Given the number of entities aligning non-performing forborneassets and stage 3, forbearance may mostly be relevant instage 2 during probation periods, when the assets are nolonger in default

NB. Other risk metrics generally correspond to scores or ratings. Most banks selected this indicator in combination with 12m PDNB. The graph and commentary refer to the secured retail portfolio as banks displayed similar trends across all retail portfoliosNB. 1 bank does not have retail portfolios

Primary drivers► Half of the banks intend to use the same primary indicator for

corporate compared to retail

► Almost all banks using lifetime PD for retail also use it forcorporates (with one bank mentioning it will use watch listinstead)

► Then, rating deterioration is more commonly mentioned

► Ratings are considered more forward looking than retail scores.Rating calibration can be through the cycle (with some stickinessaround better ratings) and may therefore require demonstratingthey don’t miss out any deterioration compared to forward lookinglifetime PDs. However, they remain a favoured criteria as theybuild on a robust process and are aligned with risk management

► Watchlists are mentioned by a few banks (with one combining itwith adjusted PD). Almost all these banks are currently enhancingtheir watchlist process (see slide 22) . Those banks tend to useratings as secondary driver

Secondary and backstop drivers► Watchlist is the most common secondary drivers. Most banks

using lifetime PD or rating changes as primary indicators usewatchlist as secondary or backstop criteria. Interestingly, majorityof the banks are not proposing any enhancement to the watchlistprocess

► Forbearance is mentioned similarly to retail

► While 30 DPD is generally considered as a lagging indicator forcorporate, this is mentioned as a backstop

NB. The graph and commentary refer to the corporate portfolio as banks displayed similar trends across all wholesale portfolios

Primary Secondary Backstop

Primary drivers► Participants illustrate more variety in their primary approaches

to determining significant deterioration for debt securities. Thiscould be due to their being less attention drawn to theapplication of this concept to this product category

► The main difference to be noted for debt securities is the useof the low risk simplification, which is mentioned as a primaryindicator by 10 banks. The other banks are evenly splitbetween using lifetime PD and ratings

Secondary and backstop drivers► Fewer secondary drivers and backstops were mentioned,

reflecting simpler approaches; the main secondary drivers andbackstops remain watchlist, forbearance and delinquency

Plan to enhance watchlist process

Yes No

3. Significant deteriorationWatchlist enhancement process

► The increasing reliance on the ‘watchlist’ process as anindicator of significant deterioration has resulted in the reviewof whether there are enhancements required to this process inorder to allow for appropriate monitoring of credit

► The majority of participants have indicated the existingwatchlist processes will not be enhanced under IFRS 9. This islargely due to existing watchlist processes being identified asfairly robust and an ongoing review of the adequacy of theprocess outside of IFRS 9

► This point is particularly relevant for a few banks using it astheir primary indicator. Almost all of them intend to enhancetheir watchlist process around the following areas: reinforcingthe link with ratings, demonstrating the relative measure,reinforcing the link with governance and processes andmaking sure it is symmetrical. Things may also have to beremoved such as concentration risk

► For the other banks, the comments show that the issue is stillbeing investigated. Consistency of watchlist definition acrossthe bank is clearly a key point

► Interestingly one bank mentions that credit analysts will haveaccess to the modeling output which will bring morequantitative expertise into their analysis

Plan to apply probation periods before returning assets from stage 2 to stage 1

Yes Yes for certain triggers No Undecided

3. Significant deteriorationUse of probation periods for transfer out of stage 2

► Over a third of the banks declare that they intend to applyprobation periods to their stage 2 assets

► In most cases, the probation period only applies when thetransfer to stage 2 has been initially triggered by indicatorsother than the primary trigger, especially:

► forbearance (potentially influenced by the EuropeanBanking Authority (EBA) definitions when relevant),with a few banks referring to a 2-year probation;

► delinquency (minimum cure periods are considered inrelation with the 30 DPD criteria), with a few banksreferring to a 3 to 6 month probation; and,

► watchlist, with a few banks referring to a 6-monthprobation period for instance

► This means that probation periods would not apply to assetstransferred in stage 2 for other reasons (based on PD modelsfor instance)

► Banks mention that probation periods are currently underreview and are part of the calibration exercise which willcontinue over the coming years

► Another third of the banks state that they won’t apply anyprobation period, especially as probation periods are alreadyincluded in ratings and PD models and will therefore“naturally” apply via the use of ratings or PD indicators

► Finally another third of the banks is still undecided. This isconsistent with the answers collected on the articulation withEBA definitions

Use of a probability weighted approach to reflect multiple scenarios in the significant

deterioration assessment

Yes No Undecided

3. Significant deteriorationUse of probability weighted approach in significant deterioration

► In December the Impairment Transition Resource Group (ITG)agreed that banks should incorporate more than one forwardlooking scenario when assessing significant increases in creditrisk, if there is a non-linear relationship between the differentscenarios and the risk of default. However, they need notconsider only quantitative approaches

► There are differences of view as to whether probability-weighted multiple scenarios approach will be used todetermine significant deterioration. Some of those banks whointend not to do so report that they do not expect the effect tobe significant

► Others believe that the effect of non-linear relationships isalready reflected in corporate credit gradings or watchlists

► While over a third of the banks do intend to use multiplescenarios to assess significant deterioration, most have yet todecide how they will do this

3. Significant deteriorationTrigger approach when using a relative criterion

► Calibration remains very much work in progress as banks arecurrently testing different sets of triggers

► Given the exponential shape of the PD curve relative toratings, the calibration of a significant deterioration has to takeinto account the fact that PD multiples in very good ratingsonly represent very small movements in absolute amountswhen the same multiple applied to bad ratings can represent asignificant change in the absolute amount of PD

► Therefore, most banks will use a combination of additive andmultiple factors to assess significant deterioration. Only a fewof them consider having only one factor as a sufficient triggerand these banks recognize that the triggers would have to beset differently for retail and corporate, but also by portfolio,country and taking into account the level of risk at origination

► Banks using ratings or scores as their primary drivers will usea number of notches (which is close to using PD multipleapproaches). They generally intend to adjust the number ofnotches depending on the position in the rating scale.Depending on the calibration, this could have similar effects tousing the low credit risk simplification and introducesubjectivity

► Note that those using lifetime PD may also try and calibratePD changes based on the rating scale to try and map PDvariation with ratings changes that are considered meaningfulfrom a risk management standpoint

Alignment of regulatory definitions

► Almost all banks intend to align their IFRS 9 definition ofdefault with the regulatory definition, with only few banksintending to use some exceptions relating to DPD

Rebuttable presumptions

► For those banks using a 180 DPD trigger under Basel, fullalignment therefore implies rebutting the IFRS 9 90 DPDpresumption – which some banks are not willing to do as thiscould be perceived as a lower quality IFRS 9 implementation

► Many banks also mentioned that their regulatory definition ofdefault is evolving towards a more systematic use of the 90DPD trigger – decreasing the need to rebut the IFRS 9presumption. Some banks stated that shifting from 180 to 90days often has little impact for mortgage loans as contagionwould cause default ahead of the 180 DPD trigger, whilstothers said on the contrary this impact was significant

► The few banks that intend to rebut the 90 DPD presumptionunder IFRS 9 will limit it to very specific portfolios (credit cardsin Canada, mortgages in the UK, public sector, sovereigns,institutions or under exceptional circumstances for others)

N.B. In Europe, the CRR limits the exception to exposures secured by residential or SME commercial real estate in the retail exposure class, as well as exposures to public sector entities

4. Definition of defaultIFRS 9 definition of default and EBA definition of non-performing

► This question only applies to banks in the scope of EBAregulations

► Amongst these 22 European banks, more than half intend tofully align their IFRS 9 definition of default with EBA definitionsof non-performing exposures for both forborne and non-forborne exposures. One bank mentioned that alignmentwould be restricted to non-forborne exposures and anotherone on the contrary will limit it to forborne exposures

► Such alignment involves the application of probation periodsfor forborne exposures as the EBA definition requires thatforborne exposures remain non-performing for at least oneyear following the extension of forbearance measures. Otherconditions to cease being non-performing include thediscontinuation of the credit-impaired and defaultclassification, full repayment (according to the original or whenapplicable the modified conditions) likely to be made, and nopast-due amount by more than 90 days

► The Basel consultative guidelines on the definitions of non-performing and forbearance published earlier this year mayresult in increased harmonization across countries outsideEurope. Therefore the mapping between these concepts andIFRS 9 will remain an area of attention

Forbearance► This question only applies to banks in the scope of EBA

regulations

► Amongst the 22 banks affected by this question, 13 banksintend to fully align stage 2 with EBA definition of performingforborne exposures. These banks generally declare that theywill also align EBA non-performing status and IFRS 9 defaultand stage 3

► Such alignment involves the application of quite long probationperiods in stage 2 as the EBA definition requires that forborneexposures remain flagged as performing forborne for at least 2years (after being at least 1 year flagged as non-performingforborne)

► Only 2 banks said they were not linking forbearance and stage2 allocation. This mainly reflects that forbearance is anindicator already embedded in ratings or other risk categoriesand is not considered as a distinct indicator

of default for IFRS 9 purposes. Only one bank intends toexclude from stage 3 defaulted assets which are fullyguaranteed

► Even though there is general alignment between IFRS 9 andregulatory definitions, banks reveal diversity in the applicationof the regulatory definition of default across countries

► Under the Basel definition, default shall reflect unlikeliness topay or delinquency of a particular obligor observed at the levelof the banking group in full. For retail exposures however, thedefinition of default can be applied at the level of a particularfacility, rather than at the level of the obligor.

► Around half of respondents intend to apply cross-assetcontagion for retail exposures while two thirds intend to do sofor corporate exposures with the same borrower. Datalimitation is often mentioned as the reason for not applyingcross-asset contagion overall

► The number for corporates drops when it comes to applyingcross-asset contagion to borrowers within the same group,with more banks being undecided and more going forcontagion only in certain circumstances

► Finally, many banks do not see applying contagion as anautomatic process, but may involve expert judgment andmanagement review in their decision

► A number of the banks stating that they will use external datawill do so in the context of applying external transition matricesor filling gap in their internally built transition matrices. Somewill also use external data to build lifetime PD curves that arethen used to extrapolate internal data

5. Measurement of expected credit loss Forward looking information

Forward looking scenarios► The number of discrete forward looking scenarios required to

calculate ECLs is still up for debate. Most banks areconsidering a fixed number of scenarios, with participantseither:

► intending to use three scenarios, representing a best,worst and base case; or

► remaining undecided on the number of scenarios,although most ‘Undecided’ banks are choosingbetween using 2, 3 or 4 scenarios

► 4 of the banks intending to use only one scenario plan toreflect non-linearities in the loss distribution by means of amanagement overlay. Another considers that the effect ofalternative scenarios is already reflected in their basescenario. This approach will need to be properly documented

► Nearly all banks are planning to use centralized internalscenarios for consistency with business planning, stresstesting and IFRS 9. Centralized scenarios often are built upusing external information

Probability weighting of forward looking scenarios► The most common proposed approach is to derive separate

ECL numbers for each scenario and apply a probabilityweighting to derive the final number

► Some banks are using only one scenario, either the most likelyscenario or a pre-weighted scenario. Some will add an overlaywhile others did not mention an overlay or remain undecided.Their approach will need to be properly documented

Probability of default► The majority of the banks are incorporating the forward

looking information at the calibration stage, adjusting the PDcalibration target to reflect the macro/customer specificvariations. We also note that a minority of banks are looking atincorporating macro-economic factors directly into the PDmodels

► All banks are planning to use some form of managementoverlay – in fact, a small portion are planning to relyexclusively on management overlays to adjust the modeloutcomes

► Banks do not seem to have finalized their governance processaround the management overlays, which is a process that hasproven to be time consuming e.g. the bank wide stress testexercises

Loss given default► Forward looking LGD continues to be an area where banks

are less advanced on their thought process compared to PDs,evidenced by almost a third of the banks still being undecidedon the approach

► The majority of banks that have selected ‘Other‘ state thatthey will use some form of macro economic variable basedforecast, for examle within the individual components in theLGD model, such as collateral values for secured loans

► Banks that state that they will use the existing stress testingprocesses will only stress the LTV values, affecting securedLGD and leaving the unsecured LGD flat

5. Measurement of expected credit lossExposure at default

► There is a clear trend with the majority of banks planning touse adjusted Basel credit conversion factors (CCF). Thefollowing are some rationales for the adjustments:

► Include only committed limits in the calculation of EADand capping the EAD to the contractually agreed limit

► Remove conservatism from the Basel CCF estimates

► Apply the payment and pre-payment pattern from non-revolving product to revolving products as a proxy

► For retail exposures in particular, banks will rely on behavioralassumptions to estimate drawdowns and repayment patterns

5. Measurement of expected credit lossPeriod over which to estimate ECL — revolving facilities

Capping lifetime at the next credit review for revolving facilities in stage 2

Totals are less than 36 as some banks do not have a retail or corporate portfolio

► Banks remain divided in this key area although a number ofbanks want to use some version of behavioral life (although itis unclear how they precisely define this term - disclosuresmay help clarify how behavioral life is ascertained). Many arestill undecided

► A smaller number of banks are considering capping behaviorallife or other periods to when the next thorough credit reviewoccurs. This approach might be challenging to support forretail portfolios. As discussed at the ITG meeting in December2015, banks who plan to use this approach will have to beable to demonstrate that they frequently take credit riskmitigating actions based on the outcome of the review process

► Some banks are considering using a fixed period, either afixed number of months depending on the characteristics ofthe products (e.g. fixed maturity) or the time between renewalof lending conditions. It is unclear how this choice will besupported

► Whatever the final outcome, banks should recognize theimportance of the disclosure related to areas of judgment(inputs, assumptions, portfolio segmentations and estimationtechniques), to assist users in understanding howmanagement formed their assessment

5. Measurement of expected credit lossPeriod over which to estimate ECL — revolving facilities (cont’d)

Totals are less than 36 as some banks do not have a corporate or retail portfolio

Time horizon for estimating ECL - revolving facilities in stage 1

► Most banks do not intend to use a time horizon shorter than 12months, reflecting the timing of their credit review practice

► The remaining banks intend to use the behavioral life if lessthan 12 months and 12 months for all others, with mostundecided banks leaning towards this option too

Defining initial recognition for revolving facilities

► Many banks are undecided about their approach to thisdifficult topic

► For corporates, many banks intend to use the date of the mostrecent thorough credit review

► A relatively high number of banks are planning to use the dateof the most recent credit review for the retail portfolio as well;this might be a difficult approach to support as retail creditreviews tend to be less frequent and less thorough comparedto corporate reviews

► A smaller number of banks intend to consider the date whenthe facility was last increased (under the assumption thatcredit risk must have decreased since origination for theincrease to be granted)

► An even smaller number of banks intend to just look back 12months prior to the date of initial adoption. These entities willhave to demonstrate that this represents an acceptable proxybased on specific factors and circumstances

6. IFRS 9 disclosuresEDTF recommendations and ECL specific disclosures

► Compliance with the 2012 EDTF recommendations is largelyconcentrated in countries where local regulators have requiredimplementation, namely the UK and Canada

► There is a higher level of compliance with originalEDTF recommendations (2012) as compared to theanticipated level of compliance with the EDTFrecommendations on ECL disclosures (2015), with 28 ofbanks applying most or all of the original recommendationsagainst 23 banks expecting to comply with most or all of theECL disclosure recommendations by the EDTF. This ratiomight change once the ECL implementation progresses

► Due to the phased approach for incorporating IFRS 9disclosures recommended by the EDTF, we anticipate thatthere will be an increase in the level of information provided asparticipants progress in their efforts towards IFRS 9implementation

► A few banks indicated that they will continue to assessapplication of the recommendations at a later stage
