10.20. Embedded derivatives

If a hybrid (combined) instrument comprises a host contract which is an asset under the IFRS 9, the Group applies the requirements specified in paragraphs 4.1.1 to 4.1.5 of IFRS 9 to the whole hybrid contract.

If a hybrid (combined) instrument comprises a host contract which is not an asset under the IFRS 9, the embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative under IFRS 9 only if:

  • the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract;
  • a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and
  • the hybrid (combined) instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss (i.e. a derivative that is embedded in a financial asset or financial liability at fair value through profit or loss is not separated).

The Group did not identify any embedded derivatives subject to disclosure.
