Regulatory Treatment of Payment Deferrals or “Skipped Payments” Due to COVID-19 Measures

The banking regulator issued guidelines that redefine the accounting and provisioning treatment for payment deferrals, or skipped payments, arising from COVID-19 measures. These rules permit financial institutions to temporarily restructure loans without automatic downgrades or immediate capital charges, provided specific eligibility criteria are met. Institutions must apply the standardized framework consistently across affected loan portfolios to preserve asset quality metrics while supporting borrower relief.
