Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 1) |
Jan. 1, 2020 |
Practical expedients for hedge accounting requirements that are mandatory for all hedges affected by the interest rate benchmark reform. Further disclosures on this are also required. |
The effects are detailed in the explanations following this table. |
The reform of interbank offered rates (IBORs) is currently generating uncertainty regarding the timing of implementation and the precise content of the planned changes. Deutsche Telekom is affected by this uncertainty in its hedging of interest rate and currency risks in designated fair value and cash flow hedges where certain IBORs are part of the hedging relationship (EURIBOR, USD-LIBOR, GBP-LIBOR, AUD-LIBOR, CHF-LIBOR, HKD-LIBOR, and NOK-OIBOR). Group Treasury continuously analyzes the latest developments and takes any steps needed to transition to the new interest rate benchmarks. Deutsche Telekom does not expect the changes in the benchmark rates to have a material impact.
