Phase IIIAccounting for macro hedging
Discussion of interest rate risk using11 Steps
Full fair value measurement – Step 1Step 2 - Limit valuation to interest rate riskStep 3 - Net margin as hedged riskStep 4 - Valuation on the basis of a (closed) portfolioStep 5 - Open portfolios as unit of accountStep 6 - Timing difference of cash flows (bucketing)
Decoupling accounting for macro hedging from IFRS 9
Why create a separate accounting standard?• Developing something very new => extra research and
input needed• Postponing the entire financial instruments standard for
one issue relevant to entities that do macro hedging is not appropriate
• Demand for IFRS 9 and for a stable accounting basis => IFRS 9 should be available as soon as possible
Road map
• Continue with IFRS 9 as planned but exclude accounting for macro hedging from its scope
• Progress accounting for macro hedging as a separate project with the objective to prepare a Discussion Paper
• Interim solution:– Adopt IFRS 9 for all purposes except portfolio fair value
hedge of interest rate risk (for which IAS 39 remains eligible)
– Maintains status quo for those using macro hedge accounting
