4. Appendices
IFRS 9
Provisions for credit risks:
• In accordance with the application of IFRS 9 at 1 january 2018, Bpifrance recognises a correction for
changes in value for expected credit losses (ECL) and defines three stages (Buckets) in the process of
provisioning credit risk:
Performing
or under-
performing
assets,
impaired on
a collective
basis
Assets
impaired on
a specific
basis
Bucket 1 → assets subject to 12-month ECL
Upon initial recognition of the financial instrument, Bpifrance recognises the 12-month expected
credit losses
Bucket 2 → assets subject to lifetime ECL
If the credit quality deteriorates significantly for a given transaction or portfolio, Bpifrance
recognises the losses expected to maturity
Bucket 3 → doubtful loans impaired to maturity on a specific basis
When one or more default events have occurred on the transaction or on a counterparty with
an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows, Bpifrance recognises incurred credit
losses to maturity. Subsequently, if the conditions for classifying financial instruments in
Bucket 3 are not met, the financial instruments are reclassified in Bucket 2, then in Bucket 1
according to the subsequent improvement in the quality of the credit risk.
⚫ Bpifrance alignes the Basel regulatory default definition and non-performing definition to the doutbful
definition (according to accounting principles) and to the Bucket 3 (IFRS 9) definition
