Topic 1
Investment Securities
1A.
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
Question 1
How should a bank account for the unrealized gains or losses on investments denominated in a
foreign currency?
Staff Response
The net unrealized holding gains and losses on AFS investments denominated
in a foreign
currency should be excluded from net income and reported in AOCI. The entire unrealized gain
or loss, including both of the portions related to interest rate and foreign currency rate changes, is
accounted for as an unrealized holding gain or loss and reported in the separate component of
stockholders’ equity. Therefore, the income statement effect of foreign currency gains and losses
is deferred until the security is sold.
PBEs and non-PBEs
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic
825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” This guidance
creates Topic 321, “Investments –
Equity Securities,” which addresses accounting and
reporting for investments in equity securities. ASU 2016-01 is effective for banks that are
PBEs. For banks that are not PBEs, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019. Early adoption is permitted for banks that are not PBEs.
The following staff responses comply with GAAP guidance applicable to all banks prior to
adopting ASU 2016-01; to the extent that staff interpretations differ under ASU 2016-01, these
are
provided in separate
green text boxes.

Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.”
ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,
including
interim periods within those fiscal years, for banks that are PBEs. For banks that are not PBEs,
the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,
and for interim
periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for
all banks.
The following staff responses comply with existing GAAP guidance; to the extent that staff
interpretations differ under ASU 2017-08, these are provided in separate lavender text boxes.
