134. To illustrate the meaning of low credit risk in IFRS 9, paragraph B5.5.22, IFRS 9, paragraph …

To illustrate the meaning of low credit risk in IFRS 9, paragraph B5.5.22, IFRS 9, paragraph B5.5.23, cites as an example an instrument with an external ‘investment grade’ rating. However, all lending exposures that have an ‘investment grade’ rating from a credit rating agency cannot automatically be considered low credit risk. Credit institutions should rely primarily on their own credit risk assessments in order to evaluate the credit risk of a lending exposure, and not rely solely or mechanistically on ratings provided by credit rating agencies (where the latter are available). Nevertheless, optimistic internal credit ratings, as compared with external ratings, should require additional analysis and justification by a credit institution’s management body or senior management.
