6. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Use of derivatives and hedge accounting

Derivatives are held for both economic hedging purposes and for hedge accounting. FMO uses derivatives for hedging purposes in the management of its asset and liability portfolios and structural risk positions. These risks are hedged with interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps. The objective of hedging is to enter into positions with an opposite risk profile to an identified exposure to reduce that exposure. The objective of FMO hedging activities is to optimize the overall cost to the bank of accessing debt capital markets and to mitigate the risk that would otherwise arise from structural imbalances in the duration and other profiles of its assets and liabilities. The accounting treatment of hedge transactions varies according to the nature of the instrument hedged and whether the hedge qualifies under the IFRS hedge accounting rules.

Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS are classified and accounted for in accordance with the nature of the instrument hedged and the type of IFRS hedge model that is applicable. FMO applies fair value hedge accounting to the funding portfolio with interest rate swaps as hedging instruments. To qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS, strict criteria must be met. Certain hedges that are economically effective from a risk management perspective do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS. The fair value changes of derivatives relating to such non-qualifying hedges are taken to the statement of profit or loss and recorded under the line results from financial transactions. If hedge accounting is applied under IFRS, it is possible that during the hedge a hedge relationship no longer qualifies for hedge accounting and hedge accounting cannot be continued, even if the hedge remains economically effective. As a result, the volatility arising from undertaking economic hedging in the statement of profit or loss may be higher than would be expected from an economic point of view. With respect to exchange rate and interest rate derivative contracts, the notional or contractual amount of these instruments is indicative of the nominal value of transactions outstanding at the statement of financial position date. However, they do not represent amounts at risk.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, FMO recognized a net loss of €4.5 million for hedge ineffectiveness on the micro fair value hedges (2022: €2.6 million net gain). The loss on the hedging instruments amounts to €134.2 million (2022: €339.4 million gain). The loss on hedged items attributable to the hedged risk amounts to €138.7 million (2022: €341.9 million profit). The result is mainly attributed to the mismatch in the valuation curves (e.g. USD SOFR for the hedging instruments and USD LIBOR for hedged items).

Micro fair value hedge accounting

FMO only applies a micro-hedging strategy, hence at hedge inception the test is conducted. FMO’s micro fair value hedges consist of interest rate swaps that are used to protect against changes in the fair value of fixed-rate instruments due to movements in market interest rates. Gains and losses on derivatives designated under fair value hedge accounting and hedged items are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Derivatives other than hedge accounting instruments

These derivatives are held to reduce interest rate risks and currency risks but do not meet the specified criteria to apply hedge accounting for the reporting period. The following table also includes derivatives related to the asset portfolio. These derivatives are used to manage FMO interest rate and foreign exchange risks within the risk appetite and are subject to the risk governance and policy framework.

The table below presents the amounts relating to derivatives designated as fair value hedging instruments, hedge ineffectiveness, as well as balances related to derivatives not applied as hedge accounting instruments:

ECL allowances across sectors remain largely consistent between 2022 and 2023. However, ECL allowances in 2023 as a result of stage 3 classification showed a significant regional shift from Asia to South America. The reason is that the banking sector in Latin America is following a difficult 2023. The Asia-Pacific region on the other hand remained a key driver of economic growth. Refer to the Credit risk section in the 'Risk Management' chapter for more details.

8. ECL allowances - assessment

FMO calculates ECL allowances for interest-bearing securities, loans to the private sector at AC (including off-balance loan commitments) and guarantees given to customers. The movement in ECL allowances for each of these items is presented in their relevant notes. 

To demonstrate the sensitivity of the 'Significant Increase in Credit Risk' criteria, the tables below present the distribution of Stage 2 impairments by the criteria that triggered the migration to Stage 2.

The table below shows the values of the IMF GDP forecasts used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations for 2022 and 2023. The upside and downside scenario calculations are derived from the base case scenario, adjusted based on an indicator of public debt to GDP in emerging markets.

The macro-economic scenarios’ model was updated following the publication of the new macro- economic outlook data by the IMF in October 2023. The updates of the model based on more recent GDP forecast, caused new point-in-time adjustments to probability of defaults in the impairment model, leading to a slight increase in combined Stage-1 and Stage-2 impairment charge.

Invest International was established on July 28, 2021. Share capital is split between A-shares where the Dutch Government owns 51 percent and FMO 49 percent and B-shares which are owned 100 percent by the Dutch Government.

During the course of the year FMO deposited €15.6 million (2022: €20.4 million) with Invest International. The deposit has a 1-year maturity and accrues interest at a market-based rate after adjusting for non-applicable internal costs. Expected credit loss is not expected to be material taking into account the support offered to Invest International from the Dutch State. The deposit is presented in the short-term deposits statement of financial position line item, refer to Note 3.

JCM Power Corporation was transferred from the equity investments to investments in associates in 2022. This is due to a reorganization of JCM Power Corporation in October 2022 in which FMO has acquired significant influence through a 24% economical ownership. The transfer took place at fair value.

In 2016 FMO signed an agreement to set up an investment vehicle, Arise B.V., together with Norfund and Rabobank. This investment vehicle is set up to invest in African financial institutions. FMO's commitment amounts to US$266 million. As of December 31, 2023, our remaining commitment towards Arise B.V. amounts to US$12.5 million.

Arise B.V. is a private limited liability company incorporated in the Netherlands whose statutory seat is registered at Croeselaan 18, 3521 CB Utrecht, the Netherlands and is registered in the Dutch commercial register under number 64756394.
