17 Commitments and contingent liabilities
To meet the financial needs of borrowers, FMO enters into various irrevocable commitments (loan commitments, equity commitments and guarantee commitments) and contingent liabilities. These contingent liabilities consist of financial guarantees, which oblige FMO to make payments on behalf of the borrowers in case the borrower fails to fulfill payment obligations. Though these obligations are not recognized on the statement of financial position, they are subject to credit risk similar to loans to the private sector, therefore, provisions are calculated for financial guarantees and loan commitments according to the ECL measurement methodology.
FMO also receives guarantees from various guarantors, which participate in the risk FMO takes. These guarantees are presented as 'Effective guarantees received' in the table below.
Other contingent liabilities of €13.4 million (December 31, 2025: €8.6 million) have been recognized in respect of potential additional tax payments arising from treatments currently under consideration with tax authorities.
The outstanding amount for financial guarantees (issued and received) and other contingent liabilities recorded by FMO are as follows:
