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.
...
New Local Amount 300 Current Fx Rate .75
New Base Amount 383.33 (250 + (100 ecl increase/.75) = 383.33)

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))
