Recital 7

Recital 7

(7)A deferral of the application of IFRS 9 by the insurance sector in a conglomerate would mean the application of two different accounting standards within one financial conglomerate which could create opportunities for accounting arbitrage as well as possibly lead to difficulties for investors in understanding the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, such a deferral should be subject to certain conditions. To prevent the group transferring financial instruments between sectors in order to benefit from a more favourable accounting treatment, a temporary prohibition on transfer of financial instruments, other than financial instruments that are measured at fair value with changes in fair values through profit and loss, should apply. Only transfers offinancial instruments that qualify for de-recognition from the accounts of the transferring entity should be subject to the prohibition of transfer. Financial instruments issued by an entity of the group should not be subject to this prohibition because intra-group holdings of financial instruments are eliminated in the consolidated accounts of the conglomerate.
