Article L211-33 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

Financial securities received under a repurchase agreement are not recorded on the transferee’s balance sheet; the transferee records the amount of its receivable from the transferor as an asset.

When the transferee disposes of financial securities that it has itself received under a repurchase agreement, it recognises as a liability on its balance sheet the amount of this disposal representing its financial securities debt which, at the end of the financial year, is valued at the market price of these assets. Any differences in value are used to determine taxable income for the year.

When the transferee sells under a repurchase agreement financial securities that it has itself received under a repurchase agreement, it records the amount of its debt to the new transferee as a liability on its balance sheet.

The amounts representing the claims and debts referred to in this article are shown separately in the transferee’s accounts.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L211-33

Les titres financiers reçus en pension ne sont pas inscrits au bilan du cessionnaire ; celui-ci enregistre à l’actif de son bilan le montant de sa créance sur le cédant.

Lorsque le cessionnaire cède des titres financiers qu’il a lui-même reçus en pension, il constate au passif de son bilan le montant de cette cession représentatif de sa dette de titres financiers qui, à la clôture de l’exercice, est évaluée au prix de marché de ces actifs. Les écarts de valeur constatés sont retenus pour la détermination du résultat imposable de cet exercice.

Lorsque le cessionnaire donne en pension des titres financiers qu’il a lui-même reçus en pension, il inscrit au passif de son bilan le montant de sa dette à l’égard du nouveau cessionnaire.

Les montants représentatifs des créances et dettes mentionnées au présent article sont individualisés dans la comptabilité du cessionnaire.
