The fair values of derivative contracts subject to public trading are based on
market prices as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of other derivatives
are based on the present value of cash flows resulting from the contracts, and,
in respect of options, on evaluation models. The amounts also include unsettled
closed positions. Derivative contracts are mainly used to manage the group's
currency, interest rate and price risk.
