(1) For the assets, includes redemptions of principal, interest payments as well as cash infl ows and outfl ows relating to derivatives. For the liabilities, includes principal redemptions, interest payments as well as cash infl ows and outfl ows relating to derivatives the fair value of which is negative.

Transfers out of Level 3 of derivatives at fair value include mainly the update of the observability tenor of certain yield curves, and of market parameters related to repurchase agreements and credit transactions but also the effect of derivatives becoming only or mainly sensitive to observable inputs due to the shortening of their lifetime.

Transfers into Level 3 of instruments at fair value refl ect the effect of the regular update of the observability zones.

Transfers have been refl ected as if they had taken place at the beginning of the reporting period.

The Level 3 fi nancial instruments may be hedged by other Level 1 and Level 2 instruments, the gains and losses of which are not shown in this table. Consequently, the gains and losses shown in this table are not representative of the gains and losses arising from management of the net risk on all these instruments.

Sensitivity of fair value to reasonably possible changes in level 3 assumptions

The following table summarises those fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities classifi ed as Level 3 for which alternative assumptions in one or more of the unobservable inputs would change fair value signifi cantly.

The amounts disclosed are intended to illustrate the range of possible uncertainty inherent to the judgement applied when estimating Level 3 parameters, or when selecting valuation techniques. These amounts refl ect valuation uncertainties that prevail at the measurement date, and even though such uncertainties predominantly derive from the portfolio sensitivities that prevailed at that measurement date, they are not predictive or indicative of future movements in fair value, nor do they represent the effect of market stress on the portfolio value.
