The Group’s definition of Sgnificant Increase in Credit Risk (SICR) A significant increase in credit risk (SICR) was defined as a significant change in the estimated default risk over the remaining expected life of the investment. A comparison is made between the default risk as estimated at the reporting date and the default risk at initial recognition of each investment individually or by investment Group. Where an investment is initially deemed to be low credit risk at origination (the purchase date) and continues to be assessed as low credit risk at the reporting date, it is deemed that there has been no significant increase in credit risk. The indicators used to establish whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk is dependent on the nature of the investee; the product type, internal management methods and external market resources.
