Article (6): Definition of Default
C 3/2024 Effective from 25/7/20246.1 | A Default is considered to have occurred with regard to a particular Obligor when at least one of the following events have taken place: (a) non-payment and/or (b) unlikeliness to pay. |
Non-payment | |
6.2 | Non-payment is considered to have occurred when a material credit obligation to the LFI is Past Due for a period greater than 90 days. |
6.3 | Overdrafts are considered Past Due once the Obligor has breached a contractual or internal limit, or has been advised of a limit smaller than the current outstanding. |
Unlikeliness to pay | |
6.4 | Unlikeliness to pay is considered to have occurred when it is unlikely that the Obligor will pay its credit obligations to the LFI in full. |
6.5 | For the purpose of the evaluation of the unlikeliness to pay, LFIs must establish and document a set of criteria and early warning signals. The early identification of decline in creditworthiness must be based on both financial and non-financial indicators. |
