Loss Allowance For Expected Credit Losses On Credit Exposures Not Measured At Fair Value Through Profit or Loss | 9. LOSS ALLOWANCE FOR EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES ON CREDIT EXPOSURES NOT MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH PROFIT OR LOSS The Bank recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on all credit exposures not measured at fair value through profit or loss, like debt instruments measured at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, loan commitments and financial guarantee contracts (not measured at fair value through profit or loss), contract assets and lease receivables. Note 13 discloses financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and financial assets not recognized at fair value. This classification is made pursuant to the expressed in Note 3 “Basis for the preparation of these Financial Statements and applicable accounting standards”. Additionally, Note 13 explains the information related to the valuation process. Moreover, the Bank applies the impairment requirements for guarantees granted, undrawn commitments of credit cards and checking accounts, letter of credits, which are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position. This impairment is disclosed in the consolidated statement of income as “Other operating expenses”. For the purpose of assessing the Bank’s credit risk exposure and identifying material credit risk concentration, disclosures regarding credit risk of financial assets and items not recognized in the statement of financial position are as follows. 9.1 Exposure to credit risk According to the nature of the information to be disclosed and the loan characteristics, the Bank groups them as follows (see in addition Note 52.1.4): Composition 12/31/2023 12/31/2022 Loans and other financing 1,887,306,653 1,898,351,483 Individual assessment 438,779,000 339,228,709 Collective assessment 1,448,527,653 1,559,122,774 Less: Allowance for ECL (53,648,800 ) (34,262,639 ) Total 1,833,657,853 1,864,088,844 The following table shows the credit quality and the carrying amount of credit risk, based on the Bank’s credit risk rating system, the probability of default (PD) and the year-end stage classification, taking into account what was mentioned in the previous paragraph.

For PD and LGD parameters, they were calculated using Basel regulatory parameters, considering also the market value at year end (see N The criterion used to calculate ECL of Financial Trusts and Corporate Bonds is based on the rating granted by risk rating agencies to each debt security type making up the financial trusts or each corporate bond series, respectively. This means that the factor to be used will vary depending on the debt securities holdings (A or B). The EAD is assumed to be equal to the outstanding balance.
