All business underwritten in Cardiff on these terms was not recorded. Project business not recorded in many cases although on occasion recorded at full value under current system.
Not currently recorded against PMS controls. This suggested weighting therefore represents a tightening of policy.
Cash contracts with credit terms less than 365 days will normally escape rescheduling. However, the possibility of default arising because of some market-wide problem, including ST rescheduling, cannot be ruled out completely.
Equivalent to 7. above although there should be no risk of rescheduling, as leasing transactions are excluded from Paris Club reschedulings
