The following table shows the values of the IMF GDP forecasts used in each of the economic scenarios for the ECL calculations for 2024 and 2025. The upside and downside scenario calculations are derived from the base case scenario, adjusted based on an indicator of public debt to GDP in emerging markets.
The macroeconomic scenarios’ model was updated following the publication of the new macroeconomic outlook data by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 2025. The updates of the model based on more optimistic GDP forecast, caused new point-in-time adjustments to probability of defaults in the impairment model, leading to a release in combined stage-1 and stage-2 impairment charge.

18. Analysis of financial assets and liabilities by measurement basis
The summary of accounting policies describes how the classes of financial instruments are measured, and how income and expenses, including fair value gains and losses, are recognized. The following table gives a breakdown of the carrying amounts of the financial assets and financial liabilities by category as defined under IFRS and by statement of financial position heading.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value hierarchy
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole, as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 – Valuation technique for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
Valuation processes
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Fund uses the valuation processes to decide its valuation policies and procedures and analyze changes in fair value measurement from period to period.
The fair value methodology and governance over its methods includes a number of controls and other procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure its quality and adequacy. The responsibility of ongoing measurement resides with the relevant departments. Once submitted, fair value estimates are also reviewed and challenged by the IRC. The IRC approves the fair values measured including the valuation techniques and other significant input parameters used.
Valuation techniques
When available, the fair value of an instrument is measured by using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument (level 1). A market is regarded as active if transactions of the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, valuation techniques are used that maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These valuation techniques applied by FMO to determine the fair value of its financial instruments are described below.
Financial instruments measured at fair value
Debt Instruments
|
TYPE OF LOANS |
VALUATION METHODOLOGY |
|
Fixed rate loans at FVTPL(Level 3) |
Performing fixed‑rate loans are valued using a discounted cash flow (DCF) approach, where contractual cash flows— including any performance‑related additional cash flows—are discounted using a curve built from a risk‑free base curve (Reuters zero‑curve) and an individual credit spread reflecting client‑specific credit quality. |
|
Floating rate loans at FVTPL(Level 3) |
Floating‑rate loans are valued using a method that approximates an amortised‑cost–based approach, because changes in risk‑free rates are neutralised at each interest reset. Fair value is defined as gross outstanding minus the change in lifetime expected credit losses (LECL) between current and initial ratings, reflecting credit‑spread‑driven market value changes. Embedded options, if any, are priced separately and added to the loan’s value. |
|
Debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3) |
The Net Asset Value from investee's financial statements and investor reports prepared by fund manager |
|
Non‑performing Fixed/ floating loans at FVTPL, debt funds at FVTPL (Level 3) |
Non‑performing loans are valued at gross outstanding minus a specific impairment, reflecting the best estimate of recoverable value. The valuation incorporates all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors, including restructuring prospects, collateral realisation, or firm offers, and follows the standard Investment Review Committee impairment process used for amortised‑cost loans. |
|
Loans with MarginAdjustments (Level 3) |
Loans containing EBITDA-, ROAE- or profit‑linked margin features require additional inputs beyond standard fixed or floating loan valuation. Forward‑looking financial forecasts must be considered to determine whether additional margin components (e.g., interest step‑ups) are expected to apply. These expected adjustments are reflected in the cash flow schedule and discounted. For loans without outstanding balances, the value of the margin adjustment is set to zero. |
|
Loans at FVPL with OtherFeatures (Level 3) |
Some loans are designated at FVPL due to unique or complex contractual features that do not fit the standard valuation models. Where none of the prescribed fair value methodologies apply, these loans are valued at amortised cost plus impairment, effectively approximating nominal value unless material differences exist. |
Derivatives
FMO uses internal valuation models to value derivative financial instruments. Valuation inputs include valuation curves provided by specialized price-makers for emerging markets currencies. Consequently, derivatives involving emerging market currencies are classified as level 2.
Equity Investments
Equity investments are measured at fair value when a quoted market price in an active market is available or when fair value can be estimated reliably by using a valuation technique. The main part of the fair value measurement related to equity investments (level 3) is based on net asset values of investment funds as reported by the fund manager and are based on advanced valuation methods and practices. When available, these fund managers value the underlying investments based on quoted prices, if not, multiples are applied as input for the valuation. For the valuation process of the equity investments we further refer to the accounting policies and related notes within these financial statements. The determination of the timing of transfers is embedded in the quarterly valuation process, and therefore recorded at the end of each reporting period.
Firm offer
When a credible firm offer exists, the fair value should be based on the firm offer price minus all transaction costs. This
method reflects the most concrete and observable market-based exit price available at the valuation date.
Value Based on Recent Transactions
Recent arm’s‑length transactions (typically within 12 months) are often the best indication of fair value. Adjustments must be
made if the company’s performance or market conditions have materially changed since the transaction.
Put Option
Where FMO holds an exercisable put option, the fair value may be based on its strike value, considering also the
counterparty’s ability to execute the option. This method relies on counterparty risk assessment and contractual clarity.
Multiples (Book, Earnings, Market/Industry, Anchored)
Multiples apply when comparable financial or market data can be used to estimate value. Book multiples are applied to
reflect equity performance. Earnings multiples (EV/EBITDA, EV/EBIT, P/E) are applied for companies with maintainable
earnings. Market/industry multiples rely on peer benchmarks. Anchored multiples use the post‑money valuation at investment
entry, performance are subsequently assessed.
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
DCF values an investment based on the present value of expected future cash flows or earnings, discounted using a
risk‑adjusted rate.
Net Asset Value (NAV)
Net asset value involves the application of the reported NAV. This is directly applied as the valuation input for fund
investment. And it could also be applied to direct investments of which the value is indirectly derived from a fund’s NAV.
Cost as Best Estimate
If no reliable valuation inputs are available—typically during the first 12 months of an investment—the cost of FMO’s
investment may serve as the best estimate of fair value.
Other Methods
When none of the standard methodologies are applicable, other valuation methods may be used, but only with clear,
enhanced justification explaining why all typical alternatives are unsuitable.
Dutch government program liabilities
Dutch government program liabilities carried at FVPL represent amounts attributable to the Dutch Government in return for
their co-investment in the FMO Ventures Program (refer to the 'Group accounting and consolidation section' of the
'Accounting policy' chapter). The management of FMO's Ventures Program has the mandate to engage in transactions and
also to realize any positions at a given time and call out the Program at reporting date. The amount attributable to co-
investors is based on a predefined value sharing waterfall which utilizes the values of the underlying investments in the
program. The underlying investments in the program are valued using the existing equity investment fair valuation
techniques described in the paragraphs above. The waterfall calculation defines the timing and amount of distributions to
respective co-investors and is therefore applied to estimate the fair values of the related financial liabilities.
IFRS 9 requires adjustments in the valuation of FVPL financial liabilities related to FMO's own credit risk to be recorded in the
statement of other comprehensive income. The impact of this treatment is however negligible due to the Support Agreement
between the Dutch Government and FMO.
Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The table below presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value.
The carrying values of the financial asset and liability categories in the table below are measured at AC. The underlying changes to the fair value of these assets and liabilities are therefore not recognized in the balance sheet.
The valuation technique we use for the fair value determination of these financial instruments is the discounted cash-flow method. The discount rate we apply is a spread curve based on the average spread of the portfolio. The fair value calculation is mainly based on level 3 inputs.

19. Related party information
The Fund defines the Dutch Government, FMO and its Management Board and Supervisory Board as related parties.
Dutch Government
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Directoraat-Generaal Internationale Samenwerking (DGIS) sets up and administers the Access to Energy Fund, according to the Dutch Government’s development agenda. DGIS is the contributor to AEF, providing funding upon FMO’s request (2025: €12.5 million; 2024: €9.1 million).
Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (“FMO”)
FMO, the Dutch entrepreneurial development bank, creates development impact by being additional in financing the private sector in low- and middle-income countries. It enables entrepreneurs to increase inclusive and sustainable prosperity. FMO focuses on three sectors: Agribusiness, Food &Forestry, Energy and Financial Institutions.
FMO is a public-private partnership, with 51% of FMO’s shares held by the Dutch State and 49% held by commercial banks, trade unions and other members of the private sector. FMO has a triple A rating from both Fitch and Standard & Poor’s.
FMO has been entrusted by the Dutch Government to execute the mandates of the State Funds: Currently MASSIF, Building Prospects, Access to Energy – I, and the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development's Land Use Facility are under FMO’s direct management.
The execution of CIO-AEF-II and the other facilities of DFCD are performed by third parties under FMO’s supervision.
FMO charges a management fee to the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and it is reimbursed accordingly from the subsidy amount of AEF. The management fee amounts up to €3.5 million in 2025 (2024: €3.6 million).
20. Subsequent events
There have been no significant subsequent events between the balance sheet date and the date of authorization of these accounts which would be reported by the Fund.
