ECON’s public hearing on IFRS 9

On 1 December 2015, the Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs of the European Parliament (ECON) held a public hearing on IFRS 9.

The issues that were touched on include technical details of IFRS 9, such as the fair value measurement and the new impairment model, implementation and impact issues as well as more fundamental aspects, such as the questions of whether IFRS 9 represents an improvement over IFRS 9 and whether it provides for reduced complexity.
