Note 28 - Financial derivatives
All derivatives are booked at fair value through profit and loss. Gains are carried as assets and losses as liabilities in the case of all interest rate derivatives. This applies both to derivatives used for hedging purposes and held for trading purposes. The Bank does not employ cash flow hedging.
The contract amount shows absolute values for all contracts.
For a description of counterparty risk and market risk, see note 6 on risk factors. For further details concerning market risk linked to interest rate risk, see note 14 on market risk related to interest rate risk, and for market risk related to currency exposure, see note 15 on market risk related to currency exposure.
