IAS 39 Impairment principles                                (2/4)

Impairment triggering events:
 significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;
 a breach of contract (such as a default or delinquency in interest
  or principal payments);
 granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not
  otherwise consider, due to the borrower’s financial difficulties;
 becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or
  other financial reorganisation;
 the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset
  because of financial difficulties;
 if impairment triggers have not been identified on an individual
  basis, the asset must be assessed for impairment on a group
  basis.
IAS 39 Impairment principles                           (3/4)

If, and only if, one or more impairment triggering events
(“loss event”) has happened after the initial recognition of
the asset and that loss event has impact on estimated
future cash flows of the asset

Regulation for credit risk management
for banks operating in R.Macedonia (1/20)
 “Decision for managing credit risk” - applicable for
banks operating in Macedonia, prescribed in February
 2008 with effective implementation as of 1 January
                        2009

Prescribes:
•criteria for classification of credit exposures;
•methodology for determination of the level of impairment
losses and provisions;
•policies and procedures for managing the credit risk.
Regulation for credit risk management
for banks operating in R.Macedonia (2/20)
step 1: classification of the loan receivable into the
prescribed risk categories (A, B, C, D, E);
step 2: determining the present value of the estimated
future cash flows of the receivable;
step 3: assessment of the amount of the impairment loss, as
a difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the
present value of the estimated future cash flows (as
determined in step 2)
Regulation for credit risk management
for banks operating in R.Macedonia (3/20)
Alternative:
If the bank does not determine the present value of the
estimated future cash flows (step 2 is not applied)

step 3 (alternative): Impairment loss      carrying amount
of the receivable upper level of impairment loss of the risk
category in which the receivable has been classified (A, B, C,
D, E)

step 1: Classification of credit exposures

General principles for classification of credit exposures:
• creditworthiness of the client;
• servicing the liabilities to the bank;
• quality of the collateral.

step 2: Determining the present value of the
estimated future cash flows of the receivable:
Determine the recoverable amount of the receivable by
calculating the present value of the estimated future cash
flows of the receivable, discounted with the original effective
interest rate.

           Composition of the estimated future cash
              flows is a key determinant of the
                amount of impairment losses.

Regulation for credit risk management

Regulator’s perspective:
How to measure the “fair value” of assets when there are
  no observable active and liquid markets?

Regulator’s action:
Prescribe the minimum characteristics of the market to be
  fulfilled, in order the value of the asset - collateral to be
  taken into account when calculating impairment losses.

step 2: Determining the present value of the
estimated future cash flows of the receivable

The value of the collateral is taken into consideration only if:
• “first-class” collateral   risk category “A”
• unconditional irrevocable guarantee issued by non-banking
financial or non-financial institution with a good credit
standing (“A-” Standard&Poor’s; “A3” Moody’s)
• the asset taken as collateral presents an “appropriate” asset
