Notes to the fi nancial statements

Gains and losses on fi nancial instruments designated as at fair value through profi t or loss are mainly related to instruments whose changes in value may be compensated by changes in the value of economic hedging trading book instruments.

Net gains on the trading book in 2018 and 2017 include a non-material amount related to the ineffective portion of cash fl ow hedges.

Potential sources of ineffectiveness can be the differences between hedging instruments and hedged items, notably generated by mismatches in the terms of hedged and hedging instruments, such as

the frequency and timing of interest rates resetting, the frequency of payment and the discounting factors, or when hedging derivatives have a non-zero fair value at inception date of the hedging relationship. Credit valuation adjustments applied to hedging derivatives are also sources of ineffectiveness.

Cumulated changes in fair value related to discontinued cash fl ow hedge relationships, previously recognised in equity and included in the 2018 profi t and loss account are not material, whether the hedged item ceased to exist or not.
