When assessing whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk for a lending exposure, credit institutions should also take into account the following factors which are related to the environment in which a credit institution or the borrower operates:

• a. deterioration of the macroeconomic outlook relevant to a particular borrower or to a group of borrowers. Macroeconomic assessments should be sufficiently rich to include factors relevant to sovereign, corporate, household and other types of borrower. Furthermore, they should address any relevant regional differences in economic performance within a jurisdiction³¹ ; and
• b. deterioration of prospects for the sector or industries within which a borrower operates.

³¹ See Principle 6 of these guidelines on the consideration of forward-looking information, including macroeconomic factors.
