Fair value hierarchy of derivatives

Level 1) Fair values are based on the quoted (unadjusted) prices of identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has access at the measurement date.

Level 2) Fair values are based on inputs obtained from active markets other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Fair values are determined based on these inputs using generally used valuation models for derivatives.

Level 3) Fair values are determined by means other than observable inputs on the asset or liability.

Asset and risk management

The objective of asset and risk management is to mitigate the negative effects of market risks, i.e. changes in interest and exchange rates, on Finnfund’s earnings, and to ensure sufficient liquidity. The leading principles of asset and risk management are described in the asset and risk management guideline approved by the Board of Directors. Their implementation is the responsibility of the Associate Director, Treasury, of the Risk Management and Impact division.

Interest and exchange rate risks

Forward exchange agreements and interest rate and currency swap contracts are used as hedges against currency and interest rate risks resulting from investment loans granted by Finnfund. Interest derivatives are used as hedges against interest rate risks resulting from investment loans, when the interest basis of the investment loans deviates from that of Finnfund’s own funding.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis of the value of derivatives instruments presumes a change of +/- 1% in Euribor and Libor interest rates. Change of the EUR/USD exchange rate is presumed at +/- 10% (USD weakens/strengthens 10%). The impact of the changes on Finnfund’s financial result is described below.

 

Sensitivity analysis, derivatives

Effect on result, EUR 1000 2017 2016
Change of +/- 1% in EURIBOR interest 159 / -159 160 / -160
Change of +/- 1% in LIBOR interest -1,066 / 1,066 -173 / 173
Change of +/- 10% in EUR-USD exchange rate 11,846 / -11,846 2,482 / -2,482

 

Credit risk

Solvent Nordic banks comprise the contracting parties of Finnfund’s derivatives contracts.

Liquidity risk

In order to manage its liquidity risk, Finnfund maintains liquidity that is adequate in view of the anticipated volume of disbursements. Finnfund has a committed credit facility of EUR 100 million, non-committed credit facilities in Nordic banks, and a commercial paper programme set up in 2010 totalling EUR 300 million. The credit facilities provided by banks were not in use at the end of 2017.
