Expected Credit Losses: ECL Increase
An ECL increase describes the situation where the new ECL local amount is greater than the previous local amount. For a domestic increase, the new local and base amounts are equal. For a foreign increase, the new base amount is equal to the prior base amount plus the base delta.

Expected Credit Losses: ECL Decrease
An ECL decrease describes the situation where the new ECL local amount is less than the previous local amount. For a domestic decrease, the new local and base amounts are equal. For a foreign decrease, the new base amount is calculated by taking the previous base amount and reducing it proportional to the local change, ignoring any FX rate.
Example:
Previous Local Amount 300
Previous Base Amount 383.33
...
ECL local amount reduction = 40%. New base amount = 230 (383.33 – (.40 *383.33 previous base))
