2018 Registration document and annual fi nancial report - BNP PARIBAS 213

4CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

Notes to the fi nancial statements

In estimating sensitivities, BNP Paribas either remeasured the fi nancial instruments using reasonably possible inputs, or applied assumptions based on the valuation adjustment policy.

For the sake of simplicity, the sensitivity on cash instruments that are not relating to securitised instruments was based on a uniform 1% shift in the price. More specifi c shifts were however calibrated for each class of the Level 3 securitised exposures, based on the possible ranges of the unobservable inputs.

For derivative exposures, the sensitivity measurement is based on the credit valuation adjustment (CVA), the explicit funding valuation

adjustment (FVA) and the parameter and model uncertainty adjustments related to Level 3.

Regarding the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) and the explicit funding valuation adjustment (FVA), the uncertainty was calibrated based on prudent valuation adjustments described in the technical standard Prudent Valuation published by the European Banking Authority. For other valuation adjustments, two scenarios were considered: a favourable scenario where all or portion of the valuation adjustment is not considered by market participants, and an unfavourable scenario where market participants would require twice the amount of valuation adjustments considered by BNP Paribas for entering into a transaction.

Deferred margin on financial instruments measured using techniques developed internally and based on inputs partly unobservable in active markets

Deferred margin on fi nancial instruments ( Day One Profi t ) only concerns the scope of market activities eligible for Level 3.

The day one profi t is calculated after setting aside valuation adjustments for uncertainties as described previously and released to profi t or loss over the expected period for which the inputs will be unobservable. The unamortised amount is included under Financial instruments at fair value through profi t or loss as a reduction in the fair value of the relevant transactions.
