Issue discussed by the Committee
IAS 7 - Demand deposits with
restrictions on use arising from a
contract with a third party:
Should an entity include demand
deposits with restrictions on use as
part of cash and cash equivalents in
its statement of cash flows and
statement of financial position?
IFRS 9 & IAS 20 - ECB's TLTRO III
transactions:
.
Do the TLTRO III tranches
represent loans with a below-
market interest rate? If so, is
the bank required to apply IFRS
9 or IAS 20 to account for that
benefit?
If IAS 20 is applied, then how
would the bank determine
period(s) in which it recognises
that benefit? Where is the
benefit presented?
How does the bank calculate
the applicable effective interest
rate?
How does the bank account for
changes in estimated cash flows
resulting from revised
assessments of whether
conditions attached to the
liability have been met?
How does the bank account for
changes in cash flows related to
the prior period that result
from the bank's lending
behaviour or from changes the
ECB makes to the TLTRO III
conditions?
* TLTRO - targeted longer-term
refinancing operations

Summary of the Committee's conclusion on the issue
The Committee concluded that, in the fact pattern described, the restrictions
on the use of the deposit imposed by a contract with a third party do not
change the nature of the deposit in such a way that would make the deposit
no longer a demand deposit. Therefore, the demand deposit meets the
definition of "cash" in paragraph 6 of IAS 7, and is included as part of cash
and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows and the statement of
financial position.
When relevant to an understanding of its financial position, the entity
disaggregates the "cash and cash equivalents" line item and presents the
demand deposit subject to contractual restrictions on use separately in an
additional line item in accordance with paragraph 55 of IAS 1.
An entity that presents assets as current or non-current classifies the
demand deposit as current applying paragraph 66(d) of IAS 1, unless the
demand deposit is "restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period".
In addition, the entity needs to consider whether to provide disclosures
about liquidity risk arising from this cash balance and how it manages that
risk in the context of the requirements in IFRS 7, and other relevant
additional information to enable users of the financial statements to
understand the impact on the entity's financial position in accordance with
paragraph 31 of IAS 1.
The TLTROS link the amount a participating bank can borrow and the interest
rate the bank pays on each tranche of the operation to the volume and
amount of loans it makes to non-financial corporations and households.
The Committee observed that IFRS 9 is the starting point for the bank to
decide how to account for TLTRO III transactions, as each liability arising from
the bank's participation in a tranche is a financial liability. The bank would
assess whether it would separate any embedded derivatives from the host
contract and, for a financial liability not measured at fair value through profit
or loss, initially recognise and measure the financial liability at fair value plus
or minus transaction costs, accounting for any difference between fair value
and transaction price and applying the effective interest method.
Applying paragraph B5.1.1 of IFRS 9, if the initial fair value differs from the
transaction price, the bank determines whether a part of the consideration
received is for something other than the financial liability - e.g. the
difference may represent the benefit of a government loan at a below-
market rate of interest. The Committee noted that the bank should use
judgement to decide whether TLTROS contain a benefit of a government loan
at a below-market rate of interest or a forgivable loan in the scope of IAS 20,
and apply IAS 20 to the difference accordingly. This difference is only
assessed at initial recognition.
The bank applies IFRS 9 to account for the financial liability, both on initial
recognition and subsequently.
The Committee observed that the question arises as to how to reflect the
uncertainty that arises from conditionality related to the contractual interest
rate in the estimates of expected future cash flows when applying the
effective interest method and that this affects both initial and subsequent
measurement. However, it concluded that this is a broader matter that is
also relevant for fact patterns other than that described in the request,
which should be considered by the IASB as part of the IFRS 9's Post-
implementation Review.
