Banks will have to provide for expected losses

Among their other shortcomings, banks had done too little, too late, to recognise losses on wobbly assets. 

Under existing standards they make provisions only when losses are incurred, even if they see trouble coming. 

IFRS 9, which comes into force on January 1st, obliges them to provide for expected losses instead.
