Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value are recognised at amortised cost or are in a hedging relationship. For further details, see note 2 Accounting principles. Amortised cost entails valuing balance sheet items after initially agreed cash flows, adjusted for impairment. Amortised cost will not always be equal to the values that are in line with the market assessment of the same financial instruments. This is due to different perceptions of market conditions, risk and discount rates.
Methods underlying the determination of fair value of financial instruments that are measured at amortised cost are described below:
Loans to and claims on customers
Current-rate loans are exposed to competition in the market, indicating that possible excess value in the portfolio will not be maintained over a long period. Fair value of current-rate loans is therefore set to amortised cost. The effect of changes in credit quality in the portfolio is accounted for through model-based impairment write-downs, therefore giving a good expression of fair value in that part of the portfolio where individual write-down assessments have not been made.
Individual write-downs are determined through an assessment of future cash flow, discounted by effective interest rate. Hence the discounted value gives a good expression of the fair value of these loans.
Loans to and claims on credit institutions, Earned income not yet received, Accounts receivable, securities, Debt to credit institutions, Deposits from and debt to customers and Debt from securities
For loans to and claims on credit institutions, as well as debt to credit institutions and deposits from customers, fair value is estimated equal to amortised cost.
Securities debt and subordinated debt
The calculation of fair value in level 2 is based on observable market values such as on interest rate and spread curves where available.
