Phase 2 of the benchmark interest rate reform (IBOR-
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS4 and IFRS 16)
Interbank offered rates (IBORs) are interest reference rates, such as
LIBOR, EURIBOR and TIBOR, that represent the cost of obtaining
unsecured funding, have been questioned for their long-term
viability as benchmarks. The Interest Rate Benchmark Reform on
its phase 2, refers to the modification of financial assets, financial
liabilities and lease liabilities, hedge accounting requirements and
disclosure of financial instruments.
Regarding the modification of financial assets, financial liabilities
and lease liabilities, the IASB introduced a practical expedient
which implies updating the effective interest rate at the moment
in which a fallback reserve clause is activated for the substitution
of the reference rate defined in the contract, without requiring
the recognition of a modification in the valuation of the financial
instrument.
On the other hand, regarding the hedge accounting, the
amendments to IFRS 9 allow accounting hedging relationships,
where the hedged item is the LIBOR rate, not to be discontinued
by the elimination of such reference rate; therefore, when the
Company maintains a hedging derivative financial instrument, the
reserve clause of the instrument will be activated when the clause
of the hedged item is activated, for example, an interest-bearing
debt at variable rate LIBOR.
The company evaluated said modifications and determined that
there are no significant impacts in the consolidated financial
statements. The Company's debt contract includes a reserve clause
and it does not have accounting hedge relationships where the
LIBOR rate is part of the hedged items.
