These directions mandate the adoption of SLFRS 9 for expected credit loss measurement and define specific criteria for classifying loans as performing or non-performing based on past due periods and potential risk. The regulations also prescribe mandatory provisioning percentages for non-performing categories and set transitional provisions for implementation starting in April 2021.
