NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2023 269 OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH HOW WE ARE GOVERNED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SHAREHOLDERS’ INFORMATION ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 49. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONT’D.) The methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments are as follows: (i) Financial assets/liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities that have a short-term maturity and deposits/accounts without a specific maturity, approximate fair values. (ii) Financial assets at FVTPL, FVOCI and Amortised Cost The fair values are estimated based on quoted or observable market prices at the reporting date. Where such quoted or observable market prices are not available, the fair values are estimated using pricing models or discounted cash flow techniques. Where discounted cash flow technique is used, the expected future cash flows are discounted using prevailing market rates for a similar instrument at the reporting date. (iii) Derivatives Fair values are estimated based on quoted or observable market prices at the reporting date. Options are valued using Black-Scholes model and Swaps are valued using discounted cash flows. These valuation techniques incorporates various market and observable assumptions including market rate volatility. (iv) Loans, advances and financing The fair values of fixed rate loans with remaining maturity of less than one year and variable rate loans are estimated to approximate their carrying values. For fixed rate loans, advances and financing with remaining maturity of more than one year, the fair values are estimated based on expected future cash flows of contractual instalment payments and discounted at applicable prevailing rates at the reporting date offered to new borrowers/customers with similar credit profiles. (v) Deposits from customers The fair values of deposit liabilities payable on demand (demand and savings deposits), or deposits with maturity of less than one year are estimated to approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of fixed deposits with remaining maturities of more than one year are estimated based on expected future cash flows discounted at applicable prevailing rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair values of Islamic deposits are deemed to approximate their carrying amounts as profit rates are determined at the end of their holding periods based on the profit generated from the assets invested.
