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 2025. 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.

The net result on sales represents the reversal of accumulated previously recognized unrealized fair value movements on the instruments sold and the actual realized result on sale of the instrument compared to the initial cost of the investment. Unrealized results from FX differences on non-monetary financial assets (investments in equity instruments) are a component of the change in their entire fair value. This amount is calculated using a spot-spot revaluation of the outstanding FV carrying amount on a daily basis and is presented separately.

20. 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:

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 2025 is adequately covering the total guarantees issued and hence meets the requirement set out by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
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 processes
For recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, FMO uses the valuation processes to decide its valuation policies and procedures and analyze changes in fair value measurement from period to period.
FMO’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. These valuation techniques applied by FMO to determine the fair value of its financial instruments are described below.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
Debt Instruments
|
TYPE OF LOANS |
VALUATION METHODOLOGY |
|
Fixed rate loans at FVTPL(Level 3) |
Performing fixed‑rate loans are valued using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where contractual cash flows— including any performance‑related additional cash flows—are discounted using a curve built from a risk‑free base curve (Reuters zero‑curve) and an individual credit spread reflecting client‑specific credit quality. |
|
Floating rate loans at FVTPL(Level 3) |
Floating‑rate loans are valued using a method that approximates an amortised‑cost–based approach, because changes in risk‑free rates are neutralised at each interest reset. Fair value is defined as gross outstanding minus the change in lifetime expected credit losses (LECL) between current and initial ratings, reflecting credit‑spread‑driven market value changes. Embedded options, if any, are priced separately and added to the loan’s value. |
|
Debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3) |
The Net Asset Value from investee's financial statements and investor reports prepared by fund manager |
|
Non‑performing Fixed/ floating loans at FVTPL, debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3) |
Non‑performing loans are valued at gross outstanding minus a specific impairment, reflecting the best estimate of recoverable value. The valuation incorporates all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors, including restructuring prospects, collateral realisation, or firm offers, and follows the standard Investment Review Committee impairment process used for amortised‑cost loans. |
|
Loans with MarginAdjustments (Level 3) |
Loans containing EBITDA-, ROAE- or profit‑linked margin features require additional inputs beyond standard fixed or floating loan valuation. Forward‑looking financial forecasts must be considered to determine whether additional margin components (e.g., interest step‑ups) are expected to apply. These expected adjustments are reflected in the cash flow schedule and discounted. For loans without outstanding balances, the value of the margin adjustment is set to zero. |
|
Loans at FVPL with OtherFeatures (Level 3) |
Some loans are designated at FVPL due to unique or complex contractual features that do not fit the standard valuation models. Where none of the prescribed fair value methodologies apply, these loans are valued at amortised cost plus impairment, effectively approximating nominal value unless material differences exist. |
Derivatives
FMO uses internal valuation models to value derivative financial instruments. Valuation inputs include valuation curves provided by specialized price-makers for emerging markets currencies. Consequently, derivatives involving emerging market currencies are classified as level 2.
Equity Investments
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 and related notes within these financial statements. The determination of the timing of transfers is embedded in the quarterly valuation process, and therefore recorded at the end of each reporting period.
Firm offer
When a credible firm offer exists, the fair value should be based on the firm offer price minus all transaction costs. This method reflects the most concrete and observable market-based exit price available at the valuation date.
Value Based on Recent Transactions
Recent arm’s‑length transactions (typically within 12 months) are often the best indication of fair value. Adjustments must be made if the company’s performance or market conditions have materially changed since the transaction.
Put Option
Where FMO holds an exercisable put option, the fair value may be based on its strike value, considering also the counterparty’s ability to execute the option. This method relies on counterparty risk assessment and contractual clarity.
Multiples (Book, Earnings, Market/Industry, Anchored)
Multiples apply when comparable financial or market data can be used to estimate value. Book multiples are applied to reflect equity performance. Earnings multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E) are applied for companies with maintainable earnings. Market/industry multiples rely on peer benchmarks. Anchored multiples use the post‑money valuation at investment entry, performance are subsequently assessed.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
DCF values an investment based on the present value of expected future cash flows or earnings, discounted using a risk‑adjusted rate.
Net Asset Value (NAV)
Net asset value involves the application of the reported NAV. This is directly applied as the valuation input for fund investment. And it could also be applied to direct investments of which the value is indirectly derived from a fund’s NAV
Cost as Best Estimate
If no reliable valuation inputs are available—typically during the first 12 months of an investment—the cost of FMO’s investment may serve as the best estimate of fair value.
Other Methods
When none of the standard methodologies are applicable, other valuation methods may be used, but only with clear, enhanced justification explaining why all typical alternatives are unsuitable.
Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The table below presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value.
The carrying values of the financial asset and liability categories in the table below are measured at AC. The underlying changes to the fair value of these assets and liabilities are therefore not recognized in the balance sheet.
The valuation technique we use for the fair value determination of these financial instruments is the discounted cash-flow method. The discount rate we apply is a spread curve based on the average spread of the portfolio. The fair value calculation is mainly based on level 3 inputs.
