Note 41 - Derivative instruments and hedge accounting<br />
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments<br />
The fair market value of derivative financial instruments such as currency forwards and swaps is based on quoted market prices.<br />
The fair market value of aluminium and electricity futures/forwards and option contracts is based on quoted market prices<br />
obtained from the London Metals Exchange and NASDAQ OMX Commodities Europe (formerly Nord Pool)/EEX<br />
(European Energy Exchange) respectively. The fair value of other commodity over-the-counter contracts and swaps is based on<br />
quoted market prices, estimates obtained from brokers and other appropriate valuation techniques. Where long-term physical<br />
delivery commodity contracts are recognized at fair value in accordance with IAS 39, such fair market values are based on<br />
quoted forward prices in the market and assumptions of forward prices and margins where market prices are not available.<br />
<strong>Hydro</strong> takes credit-spread into consideration when valuating positions when necessary.<br />
For further information on fair values, see note 3 Basis of presentation and measurement of fair value. See note 40 Financial<br />
instruments for a specification of the classification of derivative positions according to a fair value hierarchy.<br />
