As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the main positions hedged by the Group and the derivatives designated to hedge those positions were:

  • Fair value hedging:
    • Available-for-sale fixed-interest debt securities: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).
    • Long-term fixed-interest debt securities issued by the Bank: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).
    • Available-for-sale equity instruments: This risk is hedged using equity forwards.
    • Fixed-interest loans: This risk is hedged using interest rate derivatives (fixed-variable swaps).
    • Fixed-interest deposit portfolio hedges: in order to provide stability to net interest income and to protect the economic value of the balance sheet from rate fluctuations, cash flow and fair value hedge derivatives are put in place
  • Cash-flow hedges:

Most of the hedged items are floating interest-rate loans and asset hedges linked to the inflation of the available for sale portfolio. This risk is hedged using foreign-exchange, interest-rate swaps, inflation and FRA’s (“Forward Rate Agreement”).

  • Net foreign-currency investment hedges:

The risks hedged are foreign-currency investments in the Group’s foreign subsidiaries. This risk is hedged mainly with foreign-exchange options and forward currency purchases.

Note 7 analyzes the Group’s main risks that are hedged using these derivatives.
