Summary by Sections 1. Classification of Financial Investments - Financial assets are classified into three categories under the new accounting standards: FVTPL (fair value through profit or loss), AC (amortized cost), and FVOCI (fair value through other comprehensive income) [12][13]. - The classification is based on the business model for managing financial assets and the cash flow characteristics of the financial assets [14]. 2. Accounting for Market Revenues - FVTPL assets reflect market fluctuations through "fair value changes" in profit or loss, while AC assets do not reflect fair value changes and primarily generate income from interest [5]. - FVOCI assets account for market fluctuations in other comprehensive income, with interest income recognized in profit or loss [5]. 3. Financial Investment Structure - The configuration portfolio is dominant, with state-owned banks showing the highest allocation to AC, while joint-stock banks and city commercial banks have a higher proportion of trading assets [23][24][25]. - The report notes a structural shift where FVOCI is becoming the main growth area, as banks seek flexibility in their investment strategies [5][23].
