3. Principle of Subsequent Measurement:
- Depending on their classification, measure AI debt securities at either amortized cost or fair value, with changes recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
4. Principle of Interest Income Recognition:
- Interest income from AI debt securities should be recognized using the effective interest method, considering any premium, discount, or transaction costs.
5. Principle of Impairment Evaluation:
- Evaluate AI debt securities for impairment if there are indications of significant financial difficulties of the issuer or breaches of contract terms.
6. Principle of Sale and Derecognition:
- Upon the sale or derecognition of AI debt securities, recognize any gains or losses in the income statement.
7. Principle of Disclosure:
- Transparently disclose details about the AI debt securities, including their nature, risks, valuation methods, and any rights to obtain collateral.
8. Principle of Hedging:
- If AI debt securities are designated as hedging instruments, provide details of the hedging relationship, risk management objectives, and hedging effectiveness.
