Stage 2 Assets

From Open Risk Manual
(Redirected from Stage 2 Asset)

Definition

Stage 2 Assets, in the context of IFRS 9 are financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial recognition but offer no objective evidence of a credit loss event. The term Stage 2 is not formally defined in the standard[1] but has become part of the common description of the IFRS 9 methodology.

The standard formally defines the conditions that constitute a Significant Increase in Credit Risk, which necessitated the migration of an asset from stage 1 to stage 2 (and vice versa in case of a decrease). As a practical expedient, entities may assume that credit risk has not increased significantly if the credit risk of the instrument is determined to be low at the reporting date
