FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND
RISK MANAGEMENT
Market prices are taken into account in determining the fair values of the securities available for sale. When the prices cannot be measured in an active market, fair values are not
deemed to be reliably determined and amortized cost, calculated by the internal rate of return method, are taken into account as the fair values.
Fair values of banks, loans granted, deposits and funds borrowed from other financial institutions are calculated by discounting the amounts in each maturity bracket formed
according to repricing periods, using the rate corresponding to relevant maturity bracket in the discount curves based on current market conditions.
2. Information on fair value measurements recognized in the financial statements
TFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” requires the items, which are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values to be shown in the notes by being classified within a range.
According to this, the related financial instruments are classified into three levels in such a way that they will express the significance of the data used in fair value measurements. At
the first level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined according to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, at the second level, there
are financial instruments, whose fair values are determined by directly or indirectly observable market data, and at the third level, there are financial instruments, whose fair values
are determined by the data, which are not based on observable market data. The financial assets, which are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values, are
shown below as classified according to the aforementioned principles of ranking.
