Understanding why CRE credit events occur

           Insufficient income (NOI) to make the mortgage payment
           • Rising vacancy and loss of rental income during recessions
           • Deterioration of certain neighborhoods or properties even during
             boom years

           Perceived inability to sell the property for the loan
           amount
           • LTV comes into play during times of cash-flow distress or at
             refinancing

           Lack of reserves and additional outside resources
           available to cover cash flow shortfalls
           • Both ability and willingness to pay shortfalls decrease during
             recessions
           • Size of shortfall likely to matter: $1 million >> $1000

IFRS 9: Estimating Expected

IFRS 9 – The Basics
» As part of the response to the last financial crisis, the International Accounting
  Standards Board (IASB) recently issued IFRS 9, which moves from an “incurred loss”
  model to an “expected loss model” , with a mandatory effective date of January 1, 2018.
» Canada’s Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) will early adopt IFRS 9 for
  annual periods beginning November 1, 2017 to align with global peers.
» IFRS 9 provides a general “three-bucket” approach for regular financial instruments.
