The fact that the market capitalisation of many banks is far belov their book value is an indication that market participants do not believe that their current level of provisions reflect economic reality.’ The IASB and US Financial Accounting Standards Board ‘are well on our way to completing an expected loss model’, said Hoogervorst.
