IAS 39 — Macro hedging

Background

Based on the comments received and a series of public roundtable discussions held in March 2003, the IASB launched intensive discussions with interested parties, including banking representatives, to find a way within the principles of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to accommodate the use of fair value hedge accounting for a portfolio hedge of interest rate risk (sometimes called "macro hedging").

 

Current status of the project

This project has been completed. Fair Value Hedge Accounting for a Portfolio Hedge of Interest Rate Risk (Amendments to IAS 39) was issued on 31 March 2004.
