7.1.2 Cost of credit risk

Accounting principles Cost of risk applies to debt instruments classified as financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income recyclable to income as well as loan commitments and financial guarantees given that are not recognized at fair value through profit or loss. It also applies to receivables relating to leasing contracts, business loans and contract assets. This item therefore covers net impairment and provision charges for credit risk. Credit losses related to other types of instruments (derivatives or securities designated at fair value through profit or loss) recorded as a result of default by credit institutions are also included under this item. Irrecoverable loans not covered by provisions for impairment are loans that are permanently lost before being provisioned in Stage 3.
