5. Interest-bearing securities
This portfolio contains marketable bonds with fixed interest rates. Interest-bearing securities (credit quality of AA+ or higher) recognized at Amortized Cost are classified as Stage 1. An amount of 60k (2023: €82k) is calculated for the ECL as per December 31, 2024.
During the current period FMO acquired new interest bearing securities. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage the risk associated with the securities and these swaps are measured at fair value through profit and loss. Therefore, to eliminate a possible accounting mismatch, the interest bearing securities are designated at fair value through profit and loss. The interest bearing securities are initially measured at fair value and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized immediately in profit and loss. The maximum credit exposure of the securities is €106 million and the cumulative change in fair value for the period is a gain of €0.4 million. The notional value of the swaps is €105 million, and the cumulative change in fair value for the period is a loss of €1.6 million. The movements in fair value are attributable to market risk.

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, 2024, FMO recognized a profit of €7.3 million for hedge ineffectiveness on the micro fair value hedges (2023: €4.5 million loss). The gain on the hedging instruments amounts to €48.7 million (2023: €134.2 million gain). The loss on hedged items attributable to the hedged risk amounts to €41.4 million (2023: €138.7 million loss). The result is mainly attributed to the mismatch in the valuation curves.
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:

During 2024, ECL allowances reduced, which resulted in a net release to the profit and loss account. The reduction in ECL allowances is primarily the result of the reduction in the non-performing exposures, as also described in Credit risk section in the 'Risk Management' chapter.
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 2023 and 2024. 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 2024. 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.
