8.2.1.5 Recovery
Recovery assumes part/full amount recovered from delinquent/ defaulted accounts. In this assumption, the contractual cash flows assigned to the overnight time bucket is considered. Even though contractually it is due immediately, the actual recovery takes place only over a period of time. In this assumption, the contractual cash flows assigned to the overnight time bucket is considered. Hence, based on past experiences you are allowed to specify the percentage of recovery in each time bucket. The balance percentage which is not specified by you is placed in the unspecified time bucket. Hence, the contractual cash flow is first deducted from the overnight time bucket and assigned to various other time buckets based on the defined percentages.
See Defining a New Business Assumption, for information on the steps involved in specifying this assumption.
The steps involved in applying the delay in cash flow timing assumption to cash flows are:
- If time specific or critical obligation, record the delay and indicate a breach.
Cash flow assignment is done for delinquent/defaulted cash flows in the following manner:
An example of the assumption applied to product type (loan), legal entity (LE 1) and currency (USD) is illustrated below:
