The loan offer may only be made to borrowers who bear the exchange rate risk and who have declared on their honour that they receive more than half of their annual income in the currency of the loan or that, at the time the contract is signed, they hold financial or property assets in the same currency equal to at least 20% of the loan in question. This declaration is attached to the loan contract.
The foreign exchange risk borne by the borrower is established when the variation in the exchange rate affects the amount of the instalments, the duration of the loan or the total cost of the credit paid by the borrower. Where the borrower has taken out insurance or a financial contract guaranteeing it against the exchange rate risk over the entire term of the contract, the exchange rate risk is not considered to be borne by the borrower.
