Under a repurchase agreement, the seller retains the securities sold under a repurchase agreement as an asset on its balance sheet and records the amount of its debt to the buyer as a liability on its balance sheet; these securities and this debt are recorded under a specific heading in the seller’s accounts. In addition, the amount of the financial securities sold under a repurchase agreement, broken down according to the nature of the assets concerned, must appear in the documents appended to the annual accounts.

En outre, le montant des titres financiers mis en pension, ventilé selon la nature des actifs concernés, doit figurer dans les documents annexés aux comptes annuels.
