Introduction
Background of the issue
? Governments at all levels often incur large amounts of borrowings to fund their activities. These represent a very significant portion of liabilities in the balance sheet.
? They may also provide loans as financial support to certain categories of economic operators, including in times of financial distress, and not always at normal market conditions (concessionary loans).
? 2013 Staff Working Document from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament and PwC 2014 study.
- Diversity in accounting practices by Member States: use of nominal amounts vs amortised cost method, etc.

? Impairment test (incurred credit loss model) if objective evidence of impairment (e.g. decline in expected cash flows)
- Financial assets measured at amortised cost
Impairment loss: difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the financial instrument's original effective interest rate.
- Financial assets measured at fair value
The cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity should be removed from equity and recognised in profit and loss for the period.
Impairment loss: difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal amount and amortisation) and current fair value, i.e. recoverable amount calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of interest for a similar financial asset.
