33.1. Hedge accounting – financial information

Types of hedging strategies applied by the group

As at 31 December 2023 the Group had had active relationships as part of:

  • 7 strategies for hedging cash flow volatility;
  • 5 strategies for hedging fair value volatility.

In 2023, the Group terminated the hedging relationships as part of the hedging strategy “Hedging fair value volatility of fixed-interest-rate security measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in convertible currencies resulting from interest rate risk, using IRS transactions”, due to failure to meet the prospective effectiveness test. The effect of discontinuing hedge accounting in the above relationships on profit or loss was PLN 8.3 million.

In 2023, the Group implemented a new hedging strategy – Hedges against fluctuations in cash flows on variable interest PLN loans, resulting from interest rate risk, and hedging against fluctuations in cash flows on a fixed-rate financial liability in a convertible currency resulting from foreign currency risk, using a CIRS transaction.

No other changes were made to other active hedging strategies in 2023.

In 2022, the Group introduced two new hedging strategies to hedge fair value volatility.

The tables below summarize the types of strategies applied by the Group.

Type of hedging strategy Cash flow hedges (Strategies No: 1, 5,6,7,9,14,15,19)
Risk hedged foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk
Hedging instrument float – float CIRSs

fixed – float CIRSs

Hedged item
  • the portfolio of floating interest loans in foreign currencies and
  • the portfolio of short-term negotiated deposits in PLN, including their future renewals. In designating the hedged item, the Group used the IAS39 AG 99C in the version adopted by the European Union, or
  • fixed interest rate financial liability denominated in foreign currency or
  • the portfolio of floating interest rate regular savings products in PLN or
  • a financial liability in foreign currencies

sources of hedge ineffectiveness

  • margin on the hedging instrument
  • differences in discount on the hedged item and the hedging instrument
  • CVA/DVA adjustment of the hedging instrument

19 Hedges against fluctuations in cash flows on variable interest PLN loans, resulting from interest rate risk, and hedging against fluctuations in cash flows on a fixed-rate financial liability in a convertible currency resulting from foreign currency risk, using CIRS transactions.
Type of hedging strategy Cash flow hedges (Strategies No: 2,3,4,16)
Risk hedged interest rate risk
Hedging instrument fixed – float IRSs
Hedged item the portfolio of loans in PLN or foreign currencies indexed to a floating interest rate

sources of hedge ineffectiveness

  • change in market parameters between the moment of determining the terms and conditions relating to the hedged item and the moment of concluding the hedge
  • differences in discount on the hedged item and the hedging instrument
  • CVA/DVA adjustment of the hedging instrument

The period in which cash flows are expected to occur and affect the financial results:

January 2024 – June 2032

4 Hedges against fluctuations in cash flows from variable interest loans in convertible currencies, resulting from interest rate risk, using IRS transactions.
16 Hedges against fluctuations in cash flows on deposits in PLN, resulting from interest rate risk, using IRS transactions (inactive).
Type of hedging strategy Fair value volatility hedges (strategy No: 8,10,11,12,17,18)
Risk hedged interest rate risk
Hedging instrument fixed – float IRSs
Hedged item interest rate risk component relating to a fixed interest rate loan or security in a foreign currency or in PLN, which corresponds to the market IRS rate

interest rate risk component of a portfolio of financial liabilities replicated by a portfolio of fixed-rate instruments measured at amortised cost, corresponding to the market IRS ate

sources of hedge ineffectiveness

  • change in market parameters between the moment of determining the terms and conditions relating to the hedged item and the moment of concluding the hedge
  • CVA/DVA adjustment of the hedging instrument
  • difference between the present value of the floating leg of IRS and the present value of the nominal value of a security

12 Hedges against fair value volatility of fixed-interest-rate FVOCI security in PLN resulting from interest rate risk, using IRS transactions.
17 Hedges against fluctuations in the fair value of a portfolio of financial liabilities in PLN measured at amortized cost, resulting from interest rate risk, using IRS transactions
