Interest income accrued on impaired loans was CHF 0.01 million as at 31 December 2021 (2020: CHF 0.04 million). The Group’s loan portfolio is monitored closely through the review of information such as debt service, annual reports and assessments. This information is evaluated in light of current economic conditions and other factors, such as diversification of the property portfolio. This evaluation is part of the regular review to determine whether the allowance for potential loan losses is warranted. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient. However, management cannot predict with assurance the impact of future economic circumstances or how the mortgage and real estate portfolios would be affected by various economic circumstances.
As at 1 July 2008, certain financial assets were reclassified from financial assets available for sale to loans and receivables due to the disappearance of an active market. The financial assets reclassified primarily consist of corporate debt instruments and debt instruments relating to emerging markets.
Details with regard to the financial assets reclassified are as follows.
