46. Contingent liabilities and off-balance sheet liabilities received and granted

Accounting policies

For the principles of recognising provisions for off-balance sheet commitments granted, see the note „Provisions„.

Upon initial recognition financial guarantee agreements are stated at fair value. In subsequent periods, as at the balance sheet date, financial guarantees are measured at the higher of:

  • allowances for expected credit losses; or
  • the amount of commission recognized initially, less accumulated amortization in accordance with IFRS 15.

Off-balance sheet liabilities received

OFF-BALANCE SHEET LIABILITIES RECEIVED BY NOMINAL VALUE 31.12.2023 31.12.2022
Financial 132 110
Guarantees 19,361 9,516
Total 19,493 9,626

The increase in off-balance sheet guarantee liabilities received is due, among other things, to the guarantee agreement entered into by the Group on 27 February 2023, providing unfunded credit protection in respect of a portfolio of selected corporate credit receivables of the Bank, in accordance with the CRR. The total value of the Bank’s debt portfolio covered by this guarantee is over PLN 12,292 million, and the portfolio consists of the bond portfolio of PLN 1,515 million (“Portfolio A”) and the portfolio of other receivables of PLN 10,777 million (“Portfolio B”). The coverage ratio is 100% for Portfolio A and 80% for Portfolio B, therefore the total Guarantee amount is PLN 10,137 million. The maximum time of coverage under the Guarantee is 60 months, however the Group is entitled to terminate the Guarantee prior to the expiry of this period.
