Fair value shall be a representative price based on what a corresponding asset or liability would have been traded for on normal market terms and conditions. A financial instrument is considered to be listed in an active market if the listed price is simply and regularly available from a stock market, dealer, broker, industry grouping, price setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions at arm’s length. If the market for the security is not active, or the security is not listed on a stock market or similar, valuation techniques are used to set fair value. These are based for example on information on recently completed transactions carried out on business terms and conditions, reference to trading in similar instruments and pricing using externally collected yield curves and yield spread curves. As far as possible the estimates are based on externally observable market data and rarely on company-specific information.
The different financial instruments are thus priced in the following way:
Fixed-income securities - government
Bloomberg is used as a source for pricing Norwegian government bonds. The prices are compared with the prices from Nordic Bond Pricing to reveal any errors.
Fixed-income securities - other than government
Norwegian fixed-income securities, except government are priced directly on prices from Nordic Bond Pricing. Those securities that are not included in Nordic Bond Pricing are priced theoretically. The theoretical price is based on the assumed present value on the sale of the position. A zero-coupon curve is used for discounting. The zero-coupon curve is adjusted upwards by means of a credit spread, which is to take account of the risk the bond entails. The credit spread is calculated on the basis of a spread curve taking account of the duration of the bond. Nordic Bond Pricing is the main source of spread curves. They provide company-specific curves for Norwegian savings banks, municipalities and energy. Savings banks have various spread curves based on total assets. For companies where Nordic Bond Pricing do not deliver spread curves, the Group use spread curves from three Norwegian banks. When spread curves are available from more than one of these banks, an equal-weighted average is used. If a bond lacks an appropriate spread curve, spread from a comparable bond from the same issuer is used.
Financial derivatives
These transactions are valued based on the applicable swap curve at the time of valuation. Derivative contracts are to be used only to hedge balance amounts and to enable payments obligations to be met. Derivative contracts may be struck only with counterparties with high credit quality.
Shares (unlisted)
For liquid shares and units, the closing price on the balance sheet date is used as the basis for measurement at fair value. If the prices are not quoted, the last price traded is used. Illiquid shares are priced on the basis of the Oslo Stock Exchange’s index algorithm based on the last traded prices. If the price picture is out of date, a derived valuation is produced from relevant equity indices or other similar securities. If this is also considered unsatisfactory, a discretionary valuation is made in which the Company’s financial key figures, broker assessment etc. are used.
Fair value of loans to retail customers
The fair value through profit/loss is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows to present values. The discount rate is determined as the market rate, including a suitable risk margin. For loans measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the fair value is calculated as the recognised principal minus estimated loss provisions on loans classified in Stage 2 and 3 (see note 15 Loan losses provision).
Fair value of loans to Norwegian local administrations
The fair value of these loans is considered to be virtually the same as the book value, as the contract terms are constantly adjusted in line with market interest rates. The fair value of fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin at the end of the reporting period. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 6.
Fair value of deposits
The fair value of floating rate deposits is taken to be approximately equal to the deposit amount including accrued interest. The fair value of fixed rate deposits is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin. Discounting contractual cash flows by market interest rates including a suitable risk margin. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 6.
Fair value of loans to and receivables from credit institutions
All receivables from credit institutions (bank deposits) are at variable interest rates. The fair value of these is considered to be virtually the same as the book value, as the contract terms are continuously changed in step with change in market interest rates. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 6.
As the contract terms are continuously changed in step with change in market interest rates. This is valued at Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 6.
Liabilities created on issuance of securities
Fair value in this category is determined on the basis of internal valuation models based on external observable data. This is valued in Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy, cf. Note 6.

Fair value shall be a representative price based on what a corresponding asset or liability would have been traded for at normal market terms and conditions. Highest quality in regard to fair value is based on listed prices in an active market. A financial instrument is considered as listed in an active market if listed prices are simply and regularly available from a stock market, dealer, broker, industry group, price-setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions at arm's length.
LEVEL 1:
Instruments at this level obtain fair value from listed prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity has access at the reporting date. Examples of instruments in Level 1 are stock market listed securities.
LEVEL 2:
Instruments at this level obtain fair value from observable market data. This includes prices based on identical instruments, but where the instrument does not maintain a high enough trading frequency and is therefore not considered to be traded in an active market, as well as prices based on corresponding assets and price-leading indicators that can be confirmed from market information. Example instruments at Level 2 are fixed-income securities priced on the basis of interest rate paths.
LEVEL 3:
Instruments at Level 3 contain non-observable market data or are traded in markets considered to be inactive. The price is based generally on discrete calculations where the actual fair value may deviate if the instrument were to be traded.
Note 5 discloses the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized at amortized cost and according to the rules on hedge accounting. Financial assets measured at amortized cost and hedge accounting comprise lending to and due to credit institutions, Norwegian municipalities and retail customers. The stated fair value of these assets is determined on terms qualifying for level 2. Financial liabilities recognized at amortized cost and hedge accounting consist of debt securities issued and deposits. The stated fair value of these liabilities is determined by methods qualifying for level 2.
There have been no transfers between level 1 and level 2.
Interest rate on borrowings through the issuance of securities at the reporting date:
0.8 %
1.97 %
0.64 %
The interest rate is calculated as a weighted average of the act/360 basis. It includes interest rate effects and amortization costs.
