Saudi Investment Bank (SAIB) has reported a reduction of SAR 823 million in its shareholders’ equity in Q1 2018, as a result of the application of IFRS 9 standard.

 

Saudi-based banks applied the IFRS 9 accounting standard as of Jan. 1, 2018. The standard requires banks to set aside provisions for credit impairment on anticipation of customer default, not when actual default happens.

 

The standard has a direct impact on banks' solvency positions and shareholders' equity.
