129. Credit institutions should consider forbearance measures with time horizons not greater than …

Credit institutions should consider forbearance measures with time horizons not greater than two years (and, where appropriate, for other forbearance measures) when the borrower meets the following criteria:

• a) The borrower has experienced an identifiable event that has caused temporary liquidity constraints. Evidence of such an event should be demonstrated in a formal manner with clear evidence showing that the borrower’s income will recover fully or mostly in the short term, or on the basis of the credit institution concluding that a long-term forbearance solution was not possible due to temporary financial uncertainty of a general or borrower-specific nature. The form of evidence to be provided for this purpose should be proportionate to the nature, maturity and value of the credit facility in question.
• b) The borrower had been fulfilling contractual obligations prior to the event.
• c) The borrower has clearly demonstrated willingness to cooperate with the credit institution.
