5. Interest Recognition

No: 42022533 Date(g): 23/11/2020 | Date(h): 8/4/1442
Interest is recognized on Stage 1 and Stage 2 exposures based on the interest revenue calculated on the gross carrying amount (i.e. without deducting expected credit losses) on Stage 1 and Stage 2 exposures. Interest income on Stage 3 loans is calculated on the net carrying amount (i.e. after deducting expected credit losses). 
 
Forborne exposures for which the concession granted was the capitalization of accrued interest previously booked to income should result in a reversal of the accrued interest income capitalized from the income recognized. 
 
Where the interest income to be reversed spans more than one financial period, the interest income recognized in the current financial period should be reversed from current interest income. Interest income recognized in the prior financial period should be offset against the provisions for expected credit losses account. This treatment should follow requirements of the IFRS 9.
