Repo Definition

Paragraph 10 of International Accounting Standard 39 “Financial

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” defines “repurchase

agreement (Repo) as an agreement to transfer a financial asset to another

party in exchange for cash or other consideration and a concurrent

obligation to reacquire the financial asset at a future date for an amount

equal to the cash or other consideration exchanged plus interest”.

Margin

• An initial margin is given to the supplier of cash in the

transaction. The market value of the collateral is reduced (or

given a “haircut”) by the amount of margin when determining

the value of cash lent out

• Size of the margin depends upon the credit quality of the

counterparty, term of the repo, duration and quality of the

collateral

• If the financial asset is sold under a repurchase agreement, it

cannot be derecognised from the books as the transferor

retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

IFRS Implications (IAS 39, AG 51 (a))

• On-balance sheet: An accounting entry appears as secured

loan and not as a “sell” transaction. Bonds given as collateral

remain on the balance sheet; corresponding liability is repo

cash (opposite for the buyer)

• Profit & loss account: Repo interest is treated as payment of

interest on accrual basis.

#

IFRS Implications (IAS 39, AG 51 (a))

• In the books of the borrower, the bonds will be shown as an

asset and the cash received from the lender would be shown

under the liability side as a “Borrowing under repurchase

agreement”

IFRS Implications for the Counterparty

In the books of the lender the bonds purchased subject to

commitment to resell them at a future date are not recognised. The

amount paid are recognised as deposits/loans and advances to

customers/banks. These are shown as assets collateralised by

security.
