Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 to 90 days.
For trade receivables the group applies a simplified approach in calculating an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs). Therefore, the group does not track changes in credit risk but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The group has established a provision matrix that is based on the group’s historical observed default rates. The group calibrates the matrix to adjust the historical credit loss experience with forward-looking information. For instance, if forecast economic conditions (i.e. gross domestic product) are expected to deteriorate over the next year which can lead to an increased number of defaults, the historical default rates are adjusted.
The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., geographical region and customer rating and coverage by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance). The calculation reflects the probability weighted outcome and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions.
At each reporting date, the historical observed default rates are updated and changes in the forward-looking estimates are analysed.
The aging of the receivables and the related lifetime ECLs for the year 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
