On 22 November, the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 on Financial Instruments was adopted into EU law. There is no entry in the Offical Journal yet, however, the European Commission (EC) communicated the decision by press release.

After a positive opinion by the Accounting Regulatory Committee on 27 June 2016 and after a 3 months scrutiny period by the European Parliament and the Council that ended on 7 October 2016, the Commission has completed the endorsement process of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

The decision was made public in the EC's Banking and finance newsletter and a press release on the EC's Company reporting website.
