EWB

is there a commonly used abbreviation for "EWB" ??
Ralf Lemster has translated the above as "specific loan loss provision" in a previous KudoZ answer. The German equivalent of EWB is "Einzelwertberichtigung" and Zahn gives as translation "individual valuation adjustment"
I suppose the translation may depend on the context. What might be the English abbreviation?

there isn't an English abbreviation
... and it all depends on context. If you're talking about loans, then an EWB is a specific loan loss adjustment, but it can also be an individual value adjustment, or even an individual write-down (in accounting). None of these are ever abbreviated in English (at least not as far as I know).

as I suspected.
Your additoonal input, Alison, for differing translations, depending on context, was most interesting.

Declined
Alexander, if the word is 'waardecorrectie' in Dutch, then I would not suggest using an abbreviation, as there is none provided in my Van den End's Banking and Insurance Lexicon. I could not find any combinations of 'individual value adjustment'or 'single value adjustment' in 'Google, although that doesn't mean much!
Do you mena 'single' as in 'eenmalig'? non-recurring?
Good luck,
Marijke
