Scenarios — Forward-Looking Macro
FR-SCNProbability-weighted ECL across 4 macroeconomic narratives
Methodology Note
Forward-looking information per IFRS 9 §5.5.17
IFRS 9 §5.5.17 requires that the measurement of expected credit losses reflect a probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes. ECL Insight maintains four scenarios — Base Case, Upside, Mild Downside, Severe Downside — with weights 50% / 20% / 20% / 10% (Σ = 100%).
Each scenario carries four macro drivers — GDP Growth, Unemployment Rate, House Price Index and Interest Rate — that feed the macro scalar table used by the PD Models module to adjust through-the-cycle PD per Segment × Scenario. The probability-weighted ECL is computed as Σₛ wₛ × ECLₛ for s ∈ {Base, Upside, Mild Downside, Severe Downside}.
