Source text - French Les prêts consentis à des conditions de marché ou hors marché:
Le principe général d’enregistrement des prêts en IFRS est l’enregistrement à la valeur de marché, ce qui oblige à distinguer deux cas :
lorsque les prêts sont accordés à des conditions hors marché, l’écart entre la valeur de marché et la valeur nominale est enregistré immédiatement en résultat. Les intérêts sont ensuite enregistrés au taux de marché et l’écart entre ces intérêts et ceux perçus en cash (donc au taux facial) vient progressivement modifier la valeur de marché du prêt afin que celle-ci soit bien égale à la valeur nominale au jour du remboursement.
Nota Bene :
Il existe des circonstances particulières dans lesquelles un prêt accordé à des conditions de marché ne fait pas l’objet d’un versement à sa valeur nominale (prêt acquis, structures spéciales, …).
Note pratique :
Les systèmes d’information des banques enregistrant habituellement les opérations au taux facial, on pourra pratiquement :
laisser le prêt s’enregistrer à la valeur nominale et les intérêts au taux facial.
enregistrer la différence entre valeur de marché et valeur nominale comme une surcote/décote que l’on étalera actuariellement sur la durée de vie de l’opération.
Les prêts accordés dans le cadre de l’activité bancaire courante sont généralement considérés comme accordés à des conditions de marché. Afin de s’assurer que c’est bien le cas, on pourra utiliser des références comme des courbes de taux externes ou encore des barèmes commerciaux faisant référence à des courbes de taux externes.
A titre d’exemple, les cas dans lesquels on rencontrera des prêts conclus à des conditions hors marché peuvent être : Les restructurations de dette dans lesquelles, suite à un défaut, on accorde un prêt de refinancement des créances antérieures à un taux inférieur à celui du marché. L’enregistrement immédiat en résultat de la différence valeur nominale – valeur de marché revient alors à constater en perte le différentiel actualisé entre les intérêts futurs à percevoir et ceux calculés au taux de marché. Cette perte sera souvent compensée par une reprise de provision pour créances douteuse antérieurement constatée.
Translation - English Loans granted at market conditions and at other than market conditions:
The general principal for recording loans in the IFRS is to record at market value, which makes it necessary to distinguish two cases:
When the loans are granted at market conditions, the recording is made at nominal value.
When the loans are granted at other than market conditions, the difference between the market value and the nominal value is recorded immediately in income. Interest is then recorded at the market rate and the difference between this interest and that received in cash, ( hence, at face rate) progressively changes the market value of the loan so that the latter is equal to the nominal value on settlement day.
Nota Bene :
Certain conditions exist in which a loan granted at market conditions is not subject to payment at nominal value (an acquired loan, special structuring, …)
Practical Note:
Bank information systems normally record transactions at face rates. It is practical to:
Allow the loan to be recorded at nominal value and interest at face value ;
Record the difference between market value and nominal value as an overcharge/undercharge which will be spread actuarially over the transaction’s duration of life.
Loans granted under the scope of daily bank activity are generally considered as granted at market conditions.
In order to assure that this is indeed the case, one can use external rate curves.
As an example, the cases in which one will come across loans granted at other than market conditions can be:
Restructuring of debt in which, following a default, a refinancing loan for previous debt is granted at a rate lower than that of the market. The immediate recording in income of the nominal value/market value difference then amounts to a statement of loss of the updated difference between future interest to be received and that calculated at market rates. This loss will often be offset by a provision write-back for previously-stated bad debt.

I am experienced in legal contracts, bid tenders, manufacturing processes, real estate, quality control, business correspondence, and financial translations. In addition, my educational background has prepared me to be a translator. I have a Bachelor's degree in Spanish with minor studies in French. My postgraduate degree is a Master's of Science in Management. I also have completed postgraduate courses in legal terminology and accounting. I have worked many years in management positions related to international business and have lived in several countries, where the languages that I translate are spoken. In all of these countries, I have immersed myself in the local language and culture. My broad business background and education allow me to understand the nuance of the documents that I am translating. In many cases, I have prepared similar documents during my business career.
