In cases where participants report items 1.3 and 4.3, data on loan write-offs/write-downs should incorporate the cancelation of past provisions on loans that have become (partly or fully) unrecoverable and, in addition, should also include any losses in excess of the provisions, if applicable. Similarly, when a provisioned loan is securitised or otherwise transferred, a write-off/write-down needs to be recorded that is equal to the outstanding provisions, with the opposite sign, in order to match the change in the value on the balance sheet, corrected for the amounts of provisions and the value of the net flow. Provisions may change over time as a result of new allowances for impairment and loan losses (net of possible reversals, including those that take place when a loan is repaid by the borrower). Such changes should not be recorded in the TLTRO reporting template as part of write-offs/write-downs (as the template reconstructs values gross of provisions)^f1.

Disentangling the impact of loan write-offs/write-downs on securitised or otherwise transferred loans which are not derecognised can be omitted if separate data on provisions cannot be extracted from the MFIs' internal databases.
