Hedging (paras. 71-102) (version for insurers)
This version of IAS 39 does not contain the amendments by IFRS 9 and can therefore be used by those insurers utilising the exemption effected by Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (Amendments to IFRS 4).
See IAS 39: Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as amended by IFRS 971 If there is a designated hedging relationship between a hedging instrument and a hedged item as described in paragraphs 85-88 and Appendix A paragraphs AG102-AG104, accounting for the gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the hedged item shall follow paragraphs 89-102.
Qualifying instruments
72 This Standard does not restrict the circumstances in which a derivative may be designated as a hedging instrument provided the conditions in paragraph 88 are met, except for some written options (see Appendix A paragraph AG94). However, a non-derivative financial asset or non-derivative financial liability may be designated as a hedging instrument only for a hedge of a foreign currency risk.
