Authorities Recommend Flexibility in Accounting Standards amid COVID-19 Crisis

The FSC and the FSS issued a guidance on April 10 recommending companies and auditors against a mechanical application of IFRS 9 standards for determining their expected credit losses (ECLs) during the COVID-19 crisis.As companies and auditors are preparing their quarterly reports and audit reports for the first quarter, there have been concerns over the looming uncertainty about how to determine the amount of ECLs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.In this regard, both companies and auditors are highly advised to consider the unprecedented financial and economic relief measures taken by the government in a comprehensive way when determining ECLs. Ordinarily, the government’s market support measures are expected to lower the risk of a default on a financial instrument.With regard to the impairment of financial instruments, IFRS 9 “requires that lifetime ECLs be recognized when there is a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) on a financial instrument” and “requires the application of judgement and both requires and allows entities to adjust their approach to determining ECLs in different circumstances.”The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has recently issued a statement in this regard on March 27, recommending entities to adopt a more flexible approach when recognizing the impairment of financial instruments due to high levels of uncertainty amid the COVID-19 crisis.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.

Plans to Improve Rules on Exemption for Misconduct in Financial Services

The FSC and the FSS announced on April 7 the plans to improve the rules on exemption for sanctions on misconduct in financial services. The plans are aimed at removing financial services workers’ concerns about the possibility of sanctions and promoting their active role in offering loans and other financial support to the businesses in need in crisis situations as with COVID-19 as well as in providing sufficient capital to innovative start-ups with their business setup and scale-up.The financial regulators will change the relevant rules and regulations to promptly implement the improvements to the exemption rules. The changed rules will significantly reduce uncertainties about the application of sanctions for financial services workers who are at the forefront of delivering the government’s COVID-19 emergency support funds to the businesses in need.KEY IMPROVEMENTS► APPLICATION OF EXEMPTIONS: (i) (DISASTER) Provision of loans and other financial services to crisis-hit businesses, as with COVID-19, and (ii) (INNOVATION) a variety of innovative financial services, such as movable asset-based financing, venture capital investment for innovative start-ups and SME loans based on their technological prowess and future growth potential will be exempted from sanctions for misconduct in financial services.The FSC may decide to grant sanctions exemptions for additional financial services based on the developments of the government’s financial and/or industrial policies, the innovativeness of financial services and the urgency consideration.A new confirmation process will be set up to remove grey areas through which financial institutions are able to request a confirmation of sanctions exemption from the FSC for particular loan or investment programs offered by their institutions.► NO ‘INTENT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE’ RULE: Due to the highly specialized knowledge of financial workers, a strict rule of intent and gross negligence has been applied thus far. However, gi

Strengthening Support for Vulnerable Debtors

The government unveiled its plans to strengthen support for vulnerable debtors at the 4th Crisis Management Meeting held on April 8. The government will help set up a KRW2 trillion new facility at the Korea Asset Management Corporation, which will be used to purchase overdue debts and help alleviate debt burdens of vulnerable debtors.BACKGROUNDThe prolonging economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 has led to unpaid leaves and loss of work opportunities for many individuals, which may contribute to an increasing number of cases where individuals are unable to service their debts. Against this backdrop, the government introduced the plans to help prevent vulnerable debtors from turning into delinquent debtors by expanding the eligibility of pre-workout programs by individual financial institutions, strengthening the debt adjustment support provided at the Credit Counseling Recovery Service and establishing a new facility for purchasing overdue personal debts.KEY MEASURESI. PRE-WORKOUT PROGRAM FOR DEBTORS WITHOUT MULTIPLE DEBTSFrom the end of April, vulnerable debtors whose income levels have fallen due to COVID-19, that have difficulties servicing household debts and are facing a risk of debt overdue may use pre-workout programs offered by individual financial institutions. A 6- to 12-month deferment of principal payment will be provided by all financial institutions until the end of this year. The pre-workout programs may be extended thereafter if deemed necessary.II. DEBT ADJUSTMENT PROGRAM FOR DEBTORS WITH MULTIPLE DEBTSFrom the end of April, multiple-debt holders whose income levels have fallen due to COVID-19, that have difficulties servicing debts and are facing a risk of debt overdue may use debt adjustment programs offered by the Credit Counseling Recovery Service. The CCRS’ debt adjustment programs offer up to one year of deferment of principal payment for at-risk debtors (including short-term debtors of less than three months) as well as debt reduction fo

Current Situation in Financial Markets and Government's Policies

WHAT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT’S SUPPORT FOR LOW-GRADE CORPORATE BONDS AND COMMERCIAL PAPER NOT COVERED BY THE BOND MARKET STABILIZATION FUND?The bond market stabilization fund is aimed at supporting the issuance of investment-grade corporate bonds. If the Bank of Korea begins to offer lending support for non-bank financial institutions, it is expected to take some loads off the bond market stabilization fund, which may create some room for considering the purchase of certain types of low-grade corporate bonds as well.For low-grade corporate bonds and commercial paper, other financing support programs such as primary collateralized bond obligations (P-CBOs) are available through policy banks. It is the government’s policy to prevent bankruptcies due to a temporary liquidity shortage from COVID-19.PRIOR TO THE PROVISION OF FINANCING SUPPORT TO LARGE COMPANIES, WHAT SELF-RESCUE MEASURES SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN?For businesses eligible to apply for the emergency support package, the government will make available financing support to all businesses regardless of their size or sector. However, the KRW100 trillion package cannot possibly cover all business financing demands.Unlike small merchants and SMEs, many large companies still remain capable of financing their businesses through market mechanisms. The corporate financing support programs in the past also required self-rescue efforts by large companies, including a requirement to pay a certain portion for refinancing their debt and to buy back a portion of securities in P-CBO programs.If it becomes necessary in the future, the government will draw up plans to further reduce the financing burdens for large companies.HOW DOES THE SUPPORT PACKAGE AFFECT THE SOUNDNESS OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS?The soundness of the financial institutions remains strong currently. The banks’ BIS ratio and bad debt ratio improved compared with the previous crisis levels. In the process of the implementation of the emergency financial su

Market Monitoring Meeting Reaffirms Financing Support for Businesses Affected by COVID-19

FSC Chairman Eun sung-soo convened a market monitoring meeting on April 3 and reaffirmed the government’s position to help prevent businesses from going bankrupt due to a temporary liquidity crunch from COVID-19.The government’s emergency financial support package announced on March 24 has expanded the target group to include large companies from the initial target of SMEs and middle market enterprises.The ultimate aim of the business financing support programs included in the package is to help restore market functions of the financial markets so that businesses are able to raise necessary capital through market mechanisms.Unlike small merchants and SMEs, many large companies are capable of financing their businesses through market mechanisms. Thus, large companies need to make most use of their reserve funds and other market-based financing channels primarily before turning to the government supported programs.As a last resort, policy banks will decide the provision of financing support to large companies on a case by case basis if their self-rescue efforts and the government supported programs are found to be insufficient.* Please refer to the attached PDF for details.
