     Summary



     The new expected credit losses model introduces faster analyses and more updated reporting as companies are
     required to recognize ECLs at all times, taking into account past events, current conditions and forecast information, and
     to update the amount of ECLs recognized at each reporting date to reflect changes in an asset’s credit risk. It is a more
     forward-looking approach than its predecessor and will result in more timely recognition of credit losses
