This study investigates the impact of International Financial Reporting Standard No. 9 (IFRS 9) on the credit portfolios of Egypt’s Big-5 banks. Implemented to enhance transparency and financial stability, IFRS 9 introduces significant changes in financial reporting, particularly concerning the classification and measurement of financial instruments and Expected Credit Loss (ECL) provisioning. By analyzing financial data pre and post-implementation, this research evaluates how IFRS 9 has influenced credit risk management, financial performance and overall credit quality in Egypt’s major banking institutions. The findings reveal that IFRS 9 has led to more accurate credit risk assessment and provisioning practices, impacting profitability and regulatory compliance. This study contributes to the understanding of IFRS 9’s role in shaping financial stability and offers insights into its broader implications for financial reporting and banking performance in emerging markets.
