ECL allowances are calculated for Banks, Loans at 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 SICR criteria, the tables below present the distribution of stage 2 impairments by the criteria that triggered the migration to stage 2.

The following table shows the values of the IMF GDP forecasts used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations for 2024 and 2025. 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 macroeconomic scenarios’ model was updated following the publication of the new macroeconomic outlook data by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2024. The updates of the model based on more optimistic GDP forecast, caused new point-in-time adjustments to probability of defaults in the impairment model, leading to a release in combined stage-1 and stage-2 impairment charge.

22. Off-Balance Sheet information

To meet the financial needs of borrowers, the Fund enters into various irrevocable commitments (loan commitments, equity commitments and guarantee commitments) and contingent liabilities. These contingent liabilities consist of financial guarantees, which commit the Fund 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 balance sheet, they do obtain Credit Risk similar to loans to private sector. Therefore, provisions are calculated for financial guarantees and loan commitments according to ECL measurement methodology.

The outstanding amount for financial guarantees issued by the Fund is as follows:

2024

2023

Contingent liabilities

Effective guarantees issued

5,552

3,636

Total guarantees issued

5,552

3,636

As agreed with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the fund shall maintain 1 euro for each euro of guarantee issued. The total amount of cash as per 31 December 2024 is adequately covering the total guarantees issued and hence meets the requirement set out by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Nominal amounts for irrevocable facilities are as follows:

23. Analysis of financial assets and liabilities by measurement basis

The significant accounting policies summary describes how the classes of financial instruments are measured and how income and expenses, including fair value gains and losses, are recognized. The following table gives a breakdown of the carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities by category as defined in under IFRS 9 and by balance sheet heading.

Fair value hierarchy

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 – Valuation technique for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Valuation process

For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Fund has a valuation process in place to decide its valuation policies and procedures and analyze changes in fair value measurement from period to period.

The Fund’s fair value methodology and governance over its methods includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure its quality and adequacy. The responsibility of ongoing measurement resides with the relevant departments. Once submitted, fair value estimates are also reviewed and challenged by the Financial Risk Committee (FRC). The FRC approves the fair values measured including the valuation techniques and other significant input parameters used.

Valuation technique

When available, the fair value of an instrument is measured by using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument (level 1). A market is regarded as active if transactions of the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, valuation techniques are used that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Valuation techniques include:

  • Recent broker / price quotations

  • Discounted cash flow model

  • Option-pricing models

The techniques incorporate current market and contractual prices, time to expiry, yield curves and volatility of the underlying instrument. Inputs used in pricing models are market observable (level 2) or are not market observable (level 3). A substantial part of fair value (level 3) is based on net asset values.

Equity investments are measured at fair value when a quoted market price in an active market is available or when fair value can be estimated reliably by using a valuation technique. The main part of the fair value measurement related to equity investments (level 3) is based on net asset values of investment funds as reported by the fund manager and are based on advanced valuation methods and practices. When available, these fund managers value the underlying investments based on quoted prices, if not, multiples are applied as input for the valuation. For the valuation process of the equity investments we further refer to the accounting policies within these Annual Accounts as well as section 'Equity Risk', part of the Risk Management chapter. The determination of the timing of transfers is embedded in the quarterly valuation process, and therefore recorded at the end of each reporting period.

Other financial assets carried at FVPL represent amounts attributable to the Dutch State in return for their co-investment in the FMO Ventures Program. The amount attributable to co-investors is based on a predefined value sharing waterfall which utilizes the values of the underlying investments in the program. The underlying investments in the program are valued using the existing equity investment fair valuation techniques described in the paragraphs above. The waterfall calculation defines the timing and amount of distributions to respective co-investors and is therefore applied to estimate the fair values of the related financial asset.

The table below presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value.
