Who We Are

Who We Are

The Bank was established as a joint venture between Chase Manhattan and

National Bank of Egypt (NBE) in 1975 and was originally named Chase National

Bank. Chase divested its ownership stake in 1987 due to a shift in international

strategy, and NBE acquired the stake. Following Chase’s divestiture, the Bank

adopted the name “Commercial International Bank” (CIB).  Over time NBE

decreased its stake in CIB, eventually reaching 19%. In early 2006, a Consortium

led by Ripplewood Holdings acquired NBE’s remaining stake.

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The year 2008 was historically significant in many respects for CIB. First, the Bank celebrated its 31st year of record earnings in its 33-year history to

maintain its position as Egypt’s most profitable Bank. Strong revenue and profit growth was evident across all business lines, with the exception of CI

Capital, which is currently undergoing a significant restructuring. Corporate Banking, in particular, exhibited strong performance and widened its market
leadership in corporate lending and project finance.  The Corporate Bank’s stellar performance enables us to execute our strategy in building other key
business areas, including retail and SME, which are still small but offer tremendous potential. Second, CIB has undertaken and made significant progress

in implementing a number of ambitious initiatives.  These include the continued build out of CIB’s Consumer Bank along with the restructuring of global

Bank operations and back office support.  In addition, the Bank is in the process of restructuring CI Capital, which involves additional investment and

capacity building to position the enterprise for long-term success. While dedicating significant resources to execute these important initiatives, CIB has

continued to deliver strong growth and profitability.

Board of Director’s Report

Board of Director’s Report

Despite worldwide turbulence in the financial sector in 2008, CIB was able
to continue its strong performance and deliver solid results. The following
is a review of the results and of the significant changes and events that

took place during the past fiscal year, ending 31/12/08.

The Year 2008 in a nutshell
CIB aims to maintain its leading market position by continuing to provide high quality service and innovative products. The Bank’s success is ultimately

driven by client satisfaction and retention of highly talented and hard-working employees. In conjunction with its renowned corporate banking franchise,

CIB is dedicated to establishing the leading consumer bank in Egypt, where the Bank currently has the largest branch network amongst private sector

banks, reaching 152 outlets and 472 ATMs in 2008. Moreover, during 2008 CIB introduced new lines of business and undertook organizational

restructuring to address identified service and product gaps. For example, the wealth management services are currently offered in four pilot branches.

Furthermore, the Bank has soft launched both auto and personal loans by the end of 2008. It’s worthy to mention that CIB’s market share from Egypt’s

P.O.S. acquiring business has significantly surged to exceed 20%, up from virtually zero in early 2007.

In addition, the Bank further penetrated the micro finance sector and the SME market, both of which are key contributors to Egypt’s continued economic

development and expansion. A clear example is to leverage on our corporate clients, whereby we attract their bankable suppliers, through our well

developed SME department. The Bank continues to offer its employees the preeminent training programs in Egypt, with updated and specially-tailored

courses to enhance skills, service quality and product knowledge. The Bank continues to make significant investments in its IT infrastructure to

enhance operability and firm wide productivity.

Consistent with its strategic priorities, CIB acquired the outstanding stake in CI Capital Holding in July 2008, making CI Capital a wholly-owned

subsidiary of CIB. CI Capital continues to make progress pursuing its expansion plans within the local market and across the region, capitalizing on

its strategic relationship with CIB.  The Bank’s ultimate objective to form Egypt’s premier financial and investment house remains in place.

CIB was again recognized (for the 11th year in a row) by Global Finance as the “Best Bank in Egypt” for its exceptional performance and dedication
in serving its customers.  Emerging Markets named CIB “The Best Bank in Egypt”.  The Bank’s focused efforts to build its consumer banking business

were rewarded when CIB was selected as “Best Acquiring Bank” in a competition held by Visa Inc. The “Osoul” fund, managed by CIB’s Asset

Management team, was ranked the No.1 money market fund by performance. In addition, CIB, through the Global Securities Services Division, has

become the sole sub-custodian for all Egyptian Depositary Receipt (DR) programs.

CIB maintained its credit rating at BB+/ stable/ B, according to Fitch and S&P, reaffirming the Bank’s sound management and risk control measures.

Unrelenting focus on deepening customer relationships, expanding share of wallet and sound risk management all contributed to the Bank’s success

in increasing its market share in the lending market to 6.56%, up from 5.93% in 2007, while CIB's market share in deposits rose to 6.28%, up from
5.36% in 2007.1

Global Economic Turbulence- Snapshot
Over the past year, the world has experienced the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. In mid- September, the crisis accelerated with

the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which led to a freezing up of the interbank and credit markets and a steep fall in asset prices across global markets.
The TED spread2 hit a record high, exceeding 300bps as a result of the crisis, reflecting the perception of a high default risk on interbank loans.

1 Market share is based on the latest November 2008 figures.
2 TED spread is the difference between the interest rates on interbank loans and short term US government debt “T-Bills”.

Current estimates of U.S. credit losses range from USD 1-2 trillion (with implied mark-to-market losses in excess of these amounts).  With the ongoing

deterioration in the U.S. economy, credit losses are expected to continue to rise. However, a number of positive steps have been taken by governments

worldwide to stabilize the markets. The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve have implemented a number of new programs and guarantees to support
the banking sector and credit markets, including the USD 700 billion TARP3 to infuse capital and support financial institutions that suffered severe losses
in the crisis. In addition, financial institutions have been able again to issue U.S. government guaranteed commercial paper (CP) and bonds, enabling

them to raise sufficient funds to refinance their maturing debt. Since the height of the crisis in the Fall, interbank rates in the U.S. and Europe have

continued to fall, suggesting the markets are slowly returning to normalcy. However, much uncertainty and risk remains. Much will depend on how

governments across the globe recapitalize banking sectors, restructure debt levels, stimulate economies and address global trade and capital imbalances.

“Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the

vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.”

John Wetch

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance

The Board is responsible for providing leadership for the institution. It ensures

that the right strategy and controls are in place in order to deliver value to

shareholders, employees and the community.

Corporate governance issues rate high within CIB, both in terms of aligning the

interests of shareholders and managers and the monitoring of management through

information disclosure and transparent reporting. CIB adopted a sound and effective

system of corporate governance best practice, comprising highly professional

executive directors and senior management, competent board committees,

independent non-executive directors of experience and integrity. In addition to an

internal audit and control department equipped with the best qualified and well-

trained staff, an efficient investor relations program and two reputable audit firms

with an impeccable record of accounting and auditing practice.

Our corporate governance framework ensures that timely and accurate disclosure

occurs with respect to material matters regarding the Bank, its ownership,

operations and financial performance. It also advocates the equal treatment of

all shareholders with sound protection to their voting rights. CIB has a practice

of changing auditors every five years to ensure objectivity and to benefit from

new practices.

Another important strength is CIB’s board composition. The Board is comprised

of a majority of non-executive directors who play key roles. The varied expertise

of the non-executive directors has created an unusually strong combination of

directors, all with relevant knowledge and balanced skills and experience.

Consumer Banking
Business Profile

CIB has commenced on the key journey of

transition from running a Retail Banking arm to

a full-fledged world-class Consumer Banking

franchise. This entails completing the menu of

Consumer product propositions, building

management strength and depth and raising the

bar on quality standards to ensure seamless

end-to-end customer experiences.

Completing the Menu
CIB has built up over the last decade leading

market positions in several key Retail Banking

businesses including Consumer Liabilities, Credit

/ Debit Cards and Mortgage Loans. This has

been built on the foundation of the largest Branch

Banking Network amongst private sector banks

– now standing at 152 branches / units after

adding 21 new branches / units in 2008. In

addition to being the largest private sector Bank

in terms of ATM network – now at 472 ATMs

after adding 37 ATMs in 2008. CIB has continued

its deep penetration into the Consumer market

in 2008 by adding substantially to its customer

liabilities base.

CIB also runs a Personal Loans business

focusing on employees of Corporate Bank

companies and offered fully secured Overdrafts

and Trade Products. CIB is also active in the

Support Functions
In 2008, CIB rolled out a strategy to relook and
restructure all support areas in the Bank based
on international best practices. Accordingly,
significant improvements in communication and
internal processes have been realized to create
a solid platform that would stand the Bank’s
growth strategies. In this regard, all support
functions were grouped under one area which
required the recruitment of an international and
highly skilled Chief Operations Officer (COO).
In effect, later in 2008, the best in class COO
was hired from international market with
leadership experience in Europe, Latin America,
Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa.

Aiming at realizing this new strategy numerous
forums were created to increase interaction
between the support functions and the
businesses to improve communication, foster
team spirit and prioritize the various projects in
the Bank. Currently, this area comprises of
Human Resource, Finance, Corporate Services,
Operations, Information Technology, Premises
Department, and Marketing & Communication.

2008 Accomplishments
Administration Departments have been
combined and renamed Corporate Services.
Also efforts are being made to provide the best
service to clients through a careful evaluation
of services, outsourcing versus in house
decisions and out of the box ideas to optimize
the resources being allocated for the different
services.

Finance Department has been restructured on
international standards. The department in its
new shape will better provide effective
management information for decision making
and performance analysis. In addition, robust
accounting and taxation unit is more capable of
providing timely and accurate information to
internal and external stakeholders based on the
rules and regulations applicable in Egypt.
Moreover, the scope of the payment and
reconciliation departments has been enhanced
to strengthen the control environment.

Premises Department has been working on
optimizing the space utilization for Head Office
Staff as well as opening and renovating branches

across Egypt. This year 17 branches, four units
and 1 foreign exchange branch have been
opened. In addition 4 wealth management
centers have become operational and 4 branches
have been renovated. In addition, a number of
departments have been moved to Smart Village
as part of the overall premises plan of CIB.

Human Resources has been providing the best
professional services to attract, develop, and
retain a motivated and diverse workforce. In
order to ensure the successful delivery of CIB
Business Plans & Growth Aspirations, we have
succeeded to create a supportive work
environment. The department has also been
focusing on providing a full range of personnel
services to all CIB employees. This requires the
implementation of up-to-date trends in the field,
as well as, recommending new benefits, while
enhancing already existing policies, with the
objective of maintaining and retaining CIB’s most
vital asset “our staff”.

In 2008 a number of steps were taken for
development of the staff’s skills and enhancing
the culture of performance versus reward, this
includes the following:

- Ongoing improvements in the structure of 
the compensation packages, as well as job
allowances for different departments.

- Approximately 1000 new employees were 
hired in different areas of the Bank based on
the requirements of the business (primarily
in the consumer banking business).

- 2896 staff was trained for 120,827 man hours

in 2008 in various training schemes.

- An enhanced Performance Management 

Process was launched, which ensures direct
links between objective setting and delivering
Value to the Business and more attention to
CIB Core Values in all of our dealings.

CIB continued its investment in Information
Technology, aiming at enhancing the quality
of services being provided to our customers.

The focus has been on the continous
improvements to the technical infrastructure of
the Bank, in line with our strategy and goals.

CIB 2008 ANNUAL REPORT

2008 Review of Operations

Efforts and investments are being exerted to
enhance our core system as well as upgrading
technologies in our customer contact points.
A number of initiatives have been taken in 2008
in this regard, these include:

- Implementation of a new web site for the 

Bank as well as working towards the 
extension of CIB’s online banking capabilities.

- Increase the efficiency and connectivity of 

our branch and ATM network.

- Further enhancing E-Security, aiding CIB's
initiative to be the first Bank in Egypt abiding
by the Electronic Signature law.

- Continuing the expansion of our ATM network

and functionality: with 37 new ATM 
installations during the year

A number of initiatives are undertaken in Central
operations to improve productivity of staff
involved in processing customer transactions.
There has also been an effort to centralize
operational activities from the branches to Central
Operations to bring economies of scale, better
controls and allow the branches to have more
time for sales and service for customers.

Marketing & Communication has been working
on two aspects, which are:

- To enhance the CIB Brand within and outside
Egypt as well as focusing on product based
marketing to fulfill the requirements of the 
business.

- To carry out internal events to foster team 
work in the organization, increase staff 
motivation and loyalty to CIB.

On the whole, the shift in strategy and restructure
in the support functions have laid a solid
foundation to support the business growth in
the coming years. The focus will continue on
business partnership, improving productivity
from existing resources, process reengineering
to avoid duplications and work on innovative
ideas to reduce the cost per transaction in the
Bank.

Compliance

Established in March 2007, Compliance acts as an independent function to

protect the Bank against any potential Regulatory, Reputation, Money Laundering

and Fraud Risks.

It is comprised of three divisions:

Compliance with Policies and Procedures: Aligns with all lines of businesses to ensure that CIB conducts business together with compliance based

on existing local regulations as well as international best practices.

Compliance with Anti Money Laundering: Responsible for ensuring proper client due diligence through the Know Your Client concept.

CIB is currently in the process of implementing a full automated AML solution that covers monitoring all Bank transactions.

During 2008, a new swift filtration system along with a full World Check List installation has been implemented to enhance transaction checking

against sanctions and embargoes.

An amended AML and KYC policies have been compiled to align with CBE requirements in this respect.

Corporate Governance and Code of Conduct: Responsible for ensuring that the Bank Complies with the adopted Corporate Governance Code.

In addition, Code of Conduct Compliance remains to be the key for all CIB Board members and Management.

Ongoing staff awareness sessions are also being conducted in this respect. The “Whistle Blowing” concept has been introduced to Bank employees

to encourage them to speak up when identifying misconduct, violations, fraud or breaches.

Exercising full independence, the Chief Compliance Officer presents a quarterly report to the Audit Committee of the Board together with the

recommendations of corrective measures to cover identified weaknesses and violations.

Commercial International Bank (Egypt) S.A.E.

CIB 2008 ANNUAL REPORT

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Commercial International Bank (Egypt) S.A.E. was formed as a commercial Bank on August 7, 1975 under the Investment Law No. 43 for 1974. 

The Bank is licensed to carry out all commercial banking activities in Egypt through its Head Office and one hundred & five branches, in addition

to forty eight units.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

A) Basis of Preparing Financial Statements

• The Unconsolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Central Bank of Egypt regulations issued on 27th of June 2002 

and its amendments in addition to amendments made to the financial investments issued on December 16, 2008 and in accordance with the 

related Egyptian laws and regulations.

• The available for sale investments measurement have been changed as at 1st of January 2008 as explained in note 2 (F) and (G), from the 

lower of cost (taking into consideration the FX revaluations) or fair value with the differences to “Income Statement“ to  fair value with changes 

to equity. The reclassification impact appears on the "Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity" and the adjustments related to the previous

years have been done retrospectively.

• As a result of applying the new policies, all outstanding derivatives on the 1st of January 2008 have been recognized in the balance sheet and 

measured at fair value and the policy has been applied rate respectively.

B) Transactions in Foreign Currencies

• The Accounting records of the bank are maintained in Egyptian pounds. Transactions in foreign currencies conducted during the period are 

recorded at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the time such transactions take place.

• Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet 

date. Currency translation differences on all monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported in the income statement in the following items:

- Net trading income or net income arising from financial instruments originally classified as change in fair value through profit and loss for 

financial assets / liabilities held for trading or originally recorded at fair value through profit and loss.

- Other operating income (loss) for other items.

• The changes in fair value arising from monetary financial instruments classified as monetary items foreign currencies as available for sale (Debt 

Instruments) should be segregated to revaluation differences arising from changes in the instrument amortized cost to be recorded in “income 

from loans” and differences arises from foreign exchange rate changes to be recorded in “other operating income” and differences arises from 

change in fair value to be recorded in “fair value reserve for available for sale investments”.

• Translation differences on non-monetary items (equity securities) held at fair value through income are also reported through income statement 

whereas for those classified as available-for-sale are recorded directly in equity within ‘Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale 

assets’ item.

C) Realization of Income

• The bank applies the accrual basis in recording interest received from Loans & Overdrafts, Due from Banks, Treasury Bills, Reverse Repose 

and Bonds. Interest on past due Loans & Overdrafts are not recorded on the income statement. Dividends income is recognized when declared.

D) Treasury Bills

• Treasury Bills are recorded at face value. The issuance discount is recorded in Other Liabilities and deducted from the Gross Treasury Bills 

balance on the Balance Sheet and accounted for at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.

E) Financial Assets Designated at fair value through income:

• Consists of financial assets held for trading & financial assets that the bank upon initial recognition designates to be measured at fair value with 

changes reported in income.

• Financial instruments held for trading are those that the Bank holds primarily for the purpose of short-term profit-taking or if it represents a 

part of specified financial instruments portfolio and there is an evidence of short-term profit-taking. Also derivatives are classified as held for 

trading unless the derivatives are qualified under hedging accounting.

• Financial assets designated at fair value through income statement are recognized when it relates to an investment portfolio that are managed 

and evaluated on a fair value basis according to the investment strategies and the risk management and been reported to the senior management

according to that basis.

• Any derivative or financial instrument that designated to be measured at fair value with changes through profit and loss is not reclassified during 

the holding period from the group of financial instruments if it is initially classified as change in fair value through profit and loss.

• At all circumstances the bank should not reclassify any financial instrument into financial instrument measured at fair value with changes through

profit and loss or to financial assets held for trading.

F) Held to Maturity Investments

• Held to Maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the bank management has 

the ability and the intent to hold it for the foreseeable future or maturity. Any sales of a significant amount not close to their maturity -except the 

emergency cases - would result in the reclassification of all held to maturity investments as available-for-sale.

G) Available-for-sale Investments

• Non-derivative assets that have either been designated as available for sale or do not fit into one of the categories described above. Equity 

investments held without significant influence, which are not held for trading or elected to fair value through income, are classified as available-

for-sale.

H) Financial Assets

• For the assets classified at fair value through P/L ,held to maturity investments and available for sale investments buying and selling operations 

are recognized as usual on the trade date which is the date that the bank is committed to buy or sell the financial asset .

• A financial asset that does not originally classify at fair value through P/L is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. A financial 

asset that is originally classified at fair value through P/L is initially recognized at fair value only and the transaction costs are transferred to P/L 

in “Net income from trading activities”.

• A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or the Bank has transferred substantially all the risks and 

rewards of ownership.

• Available for sale investments and financial assets designated at fair value through P/L are subsequently held at fair value whereas held to 

maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

• Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale assets should be recognized directly in equity, through the statement

of changes in equity, until the financial asset is sold, collected, or otherwise disposed of, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously 

recognized in equity should be recognized in profit or loss.

• Monetary assets’ interest income is recognized based on the amortized cost method in the income statement. The foreign currency revaluations

differences related to available for sale investments are recognized in the income statement. Available for sale equity instruments related dividends

are recognized in the income statement when they declared.

• Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in liquid markets. Where no active market exists, or quoted prices are unobtainable, the 

fair value is estimated using a variety of valuation techniques – including discounted cash flow and other pricing models. Inputs to pricing models

are generally market-based when available and taken from reliable external data sources. If the range of reasonable fair value estimates is 

significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed, an entity may measure the equity instrument at cost 

minus any impairment losses.

• Debt instruments can be reclassified from the available for sale investments to held to maturity investments at fair value when the bank has 

the intention and ability to hold to maturity. Any related Profits and losses that was previously recognized in equity are treated as follows:

- Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity valued at amortized cost, using the effective interest method in case 

of impairment the profits & losses that has been previously recognized directly in equity is removed from equity and recognized in the income 

statement.

- Profits & losses related to financial assets without fixed or determinable maturity are held in equity till selling or dispose the asset then removed

from equity and recognized in the income statement. In case of impairment the profits & losses that has been previously recognized directly 

in equity is removed from equity and recognized in the income statement.

I) Investments in Subsidiaries and Associated Companies

• These investments are evaluated at cost and in case of impairment of its fair value; the book value of each investment is adjusted by such 

impairment and charged to the income statement. In case of an increase in the fair value, such increase will be added to the same category in 

the income statement within the limit of the amounts previously charged. Also investments in jointly controlled companies are evaluated at cost.

J) Netting

• Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal 

right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

• Treasury Bills, Repos & reveres Repos agreements are netted on the balance sheet in ‘Treasury Bills and other discountable notes at CBE’.

K) Derivatives & Embedded Derivatives

• Derivatives are measured initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured at fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted prices prevailing

in active markets, including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing 

models as appropriate. All derivatives are included in assets when their fair value is positive and liabilities when their fair value is negative.

L) Repos & (Reverse Repos) Transactions

• Repos (Reveres Repos) agreements are eliminated (recorded) on the financial position under “Treasury Bills and Other Notes Discountable at 

the CBE” whereas its cost (revenue) is recorded in “interest received from treasury Bills & Bonds” item in Income Statement using the effective 

interest method.

M) Impairment of financial assets

M/1) Financial Assets held to maturity

The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets is 

impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence

of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and prior to the balance sheet date 

('a loss event') and that loss event or events has had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the portfolio that 

can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention

of the Bank about the following loss events:

- Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

- It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial Re-organization.

M/2) Available-for-sale Investments

- The Bank assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets under 

available for sale investments or held to maturity investment is impaired. In the case of equity instruments classified as available for sale, a 

significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether impairment exists.

N) Assets Acquired for settlement of Debits

• These Assets are recorded in the Financial Statement under “debit balances & Other Assets” at cost and in case of a decrease of the fair value 

of these assets at the Financial Statement date, the difference is charged to the income statement and the increase of the fair value should be 

credited to the income statement within the limit of amounts charged in previous financial periods.

CIB 2008 ANNUAL REPORT

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

75

Notes No. (31&32) of the notes to the Financial Statements disclose maturities of the assets and liabilities and the average interest rates applied 

to assets and liabilities during the period.

B) Credit risk

• Loans to customers and Banks ,financial Investments (Bonds), due from banks, rights and obligations from others,  are financial assets exposed

to credit risk which result in these parties’ inability to repay in part or in full the loan granted to them at maturity.

• The bank adopted the following procedures to minimize the credit risk:

- Preparing credit studies about the customers before dealing with them and determining credit risk rates related thereto.

- Obtaining adequate guarantees to reduce the risks resulting from insolvency of customers.

- Monitoring and preparing periodic studies about customers in order to evaluate their financial and credit positions and estimate the required 

provisions for non - performing loans.

- Distribution of loans portfolio and due from banks over various sectors to avoid concentration of risk.

Note No. (34) Discloses the distribution of loans portfolio over various sectors.

C) Foreign Currency Risk

• The nature of the bank’s activity requires the bank to deal in many foreign currencies which expose the bank to the risk of fluctuation in exchange

rates. To minimize this risk, the bank monitors the balances of foreign currency positions according to Central Bank of Egypt instructions in that 

respect. Note No. (35) Of the financial statements discloses significant foreign currency positions at the financial statement date.

(4) Accounting estimates and assumptions

- The preparation of financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates, at times, regarding matters that are 

inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures. Those judgments and estimates are based on 

historical experience and other factors containing the expectations of the future events that are reasonable estimated in accordance of the available

conditions & information.

- The most significant areas requiring management to make judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts and disclosures are as follows:

A) Impairment of the available for sale equity instruments:

• In the case of available for sale financial investments, a significant or Continuous decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered

as impairment. Where such evidence exists, significant or Continuous decline needs a personal judgment. To make this judgment the bank 

assesses –besides other factors- the common share price volatility. In addition, impairment exists when there is objective evidence that a certain

company has a financial difficulty in its cash flow from operating and financing activities, industry tool or sector or technological advances.

• If each significant or Continuous decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered, the bank will charge an additional loss of 

EGP 20,312,399 represents transferring all the fair value reserve to P/L.

B) Derivatives’ Fair Value:

• For the unquoted financial instruments, the fair value is determined using a variety of valuation techniques which are tested and reviewed 

periodically by high qualified staffs that are independent of those who created the models. The models used are validated prior put into use. 

Inputs to pricing models are generally market-based when available and taken from reliable external data sources. While areas like the bank 

credit risk, counterparties, volatility and correlations require management to make judgments & estimations. Changes in the assumptions related

to these factors may affect the financial instruments fair values which have been disclosed.

C) Held to maturity Investments:

• Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to maturity. This category requires 

personal judgment therefore the bank tests whether there is a genuine intent and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the bank fails 

to hold such investments till maturity (except for certain tightly defined circumstances such as if an entity sells an insignificant amount of held-

to-maturity investments close to maturity date), investments should be reclassified as available-for-sale, which will be measured at fair value 

instead of amortized cost.

• If the bank fails to hold such investments till maturity. The investment book value will be increased (decreased) with EGP 54,035,585 to reach 

the fair value against the fair value reserve in equity.

* Forward contracts represents commitments of buying foreign and local currencies including unexecuted spot transactions. Future contracts for 

foreign  currencies and/or interest rates represents contractual commitments  to receive or pay net amount on the basis of changes in foreign 

exchange rates or interest rates, and/or buying or selling foreign currencies or financial instruments in a future date with a fixed contractual price

under active financial market.

* Credit risk is considered low, and future interest rate contracts represents future exchange rate contracts negotiated for case by case, these 

contracts requires financial settlements of any differences in contractual interest rates and prevailing market interest rates on future dates based

on contractual amount (nominal value) pre agreed upon.

* Foreign exchange and/or interest rate swap represents commitments to exchange cash flows, resulting from these contracts exchange of currencies

or interest (fixed rate  versus variable rate for example) or both (meaning foreign exchange and interest rate contracts)/ contractual amounts are

not exchanged except for some foreign exchange contracts

* Credit risk is represented in the expected cost of foreign exchange contracts that takes place if other parties default to fulfill their liabilities. This 

risk is monitored continuously through comparisons of fair value and contractual amount, and to control continuously through comparisons of fair

value and contractual amount, and to control the outstanding credit risk, the bank evaluates other parties using the same methods as in borrowing

activities.

* Options contracts in foreign currencies and/or interest rates represents contractual agreements for the buyer (issuer) to seller (holders) as a right

not an obligations whether to buy (buy option) or to sell (sell option) at a certain day or within certain period for a certain amount in foreign currency

or interest rate. Options contracts are either traded in  the market or negotiated between the bank and one of its client (Off balance sheet). The 

bank exposed to credit risk for purchased options contracts only and in the line of its book cost which represent its fair value.

* The contractual value for some derivatives options considered a base to compare the realized financial instruments on the balance sheet, but it didn’t

provide indicator on the projected cash flows of the fair value for current instruments, those amounts doesn’t reflect credit risk or interest rate risk.

* Derivatives in the banks benefit represent (assets) conversely it represents (liabilities) as a result of the changes in foreign exchange prices or 

interest rates related to these derivatives. Contractual / expected total amounts of financial derivatives can fluctuate from time to time and also 

the range through which the financial derivatives can be in benefit of the bank or conversely against its benefit and the total fair value of the financial

derivatives in assets and liabilities. Hereunder are the fair values of the booked financial derivatives.

• The consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Central Bank of Egypt regulations issued on 27th of June 2002 and

its amendments issued on December 16, 2008 and in accordance with the related Egyptian laws and regulations regarding to the preparation 

of these financial statements.

• The available for sale investments measurement have been changed as at 1st of January 2008 as explained in note 2 (F) and (G), from the 

lower of cost (taking into consideration the FX revaluations) or fair value and the differences were reported in “Income Statement” to  fair value

with changes reporting direct to equity. The reclassification impact appears on the "Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity" and the 

"Available-for-Sale Investments". Adjustments related to the previous years have been done retrospectively.

• As a result of applying the new regulations, all outstanding derivatives on the 1st of January 2008 have been recognized in the balance sheet 

and measured at fair value.

B) Basis of consolidation

Given the increase in the bank's ownership percentage from 50.09% (joint control) to 99.98% (full control) in CI Capital Holding, has been 

adjusted form proportional consolidated basis which has been used in the previous financial periods up till June 30, 2008.

Consolidated Financial Statements are Consisting of the Financial Statements of Commercial International Bank and Consolidated Financial 

Statements of CI Capital Holding and it's subsidiaries. The control is achieved through the bank's ability to control the financial and operational 

policies of the invests in order to obtain benefits from its activities . The basis of the consolidation is follows: -

- Eliminating all balances and transactions between the bank and group companies.

- The cost of acquisition of subsidiary companies is based on the company's share in the fair value of assets acquired and obligations outstanding

the acquisition date.

- Minority shareholders represent the rights of others in subsidiary companies.

- Proportional Consolidation is used in consolidating method companies under joint control

C) Transactions in Foreign Currencies

• The Accounting records of the bank are maintained in Egyptian pounds. Transactions in foreign currencies conducted during the year are

recorded at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the time such transactions take place.

• Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet 

date. Currency translation differences on all monetary financial assets and liabilities are reported in the income statement in the following items:-

- Net trading income or net income arising from financial instruments originally recorded at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets

and liabilities held for trading or originally recorded at fair value through profit and loss.

- Other operating income (loss) for the other items.

• The changes in fair value arising from monetary financial instruments  classified as foreign investments available for sale (Debt Instruments) 

should be segregated to revaluation differences arising from changes in the instrument amortized cost to be recorded in "income from loans" 

and differences arises from foreign exchange rate changes to be recorded in "other operating income" and differences arises from change in 

fair value to be recorded in "fair value reserve for available for sale investments".

• Translation differences on non-monetary items (such as equities) held at fair value through income are also reported through income statement 

whereas for those classified as available-for-sale are recorded directly in equity within ‘Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale assets’

item.

D) Realization of Income

• The bank applies the accrual basis in recording interest received from Loans & Overdrafts, Due from Banks, Treasury Bills, Reverse Repose 

and Bonds. Interest on past due Loans & Overdrafts are not recorded on the income statement. Dividends income is recognized when declared.

E) Operating revenues in the holding company:

• The activities income of the subsidiaries companies comes as soon as the related service is done, the services are :

- Consultancy services to the group before the acquisition date.

1- Mutual funds & investment portfolios management fees:

- The Management fee is calculated as a percentage of the net value of assets under management according to the agreement’s terms and 

conditions. These amounts are credited to the assets management company’s revenue pool on a monthly accrual basis.

- Commission is calculated, based on certain ratios of mutual fund’s net asset value, for the valuation of mutual fund’s assets. This valuation 

commission is calculated and accrued on a daily basis.

2- Performance fees:

- Performance fees calculated by specific ratios from customers portfolios annual return in case of it exceeds a specific return based on the 

contract terms and is calculated based on the return on the net assets. Such fees are excluded from revenues unless they meet the booking

terms.

F) Treasury Bills

• Treasury Bills are recorded at face value. The issuance discount is recorded in Other Liabilities and deducted from the Gross Treasury Bills 

balance on the Balance Sheet, which are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.

G) Financial Assets Designated at fair value through profit and loss:

• Consists of financial assets held for trading & financial assets that the bank upon initial recognition designates to be measured at fair value with

changes reported in profit and loss.

• Financial instruments held for trading are those that the Bank holds primarily for the purpose of short-term profit-taking or if it represents a 

part of specified financial instruments portfolio and there is an evidence of short-term profit-taking. Also derivatives are classified as held for 

trading unless the derivatives are qualified under hedging accounting.

• Financial assets designated at fair value through profit and loss are recognized when it relates to an investment portfolio that are managed and

evaluated on a fair value basis according to the investment strategies and the risk management and have been reported to the senior management

according to that basis.

• Any financial derivative or instrument that designates to be measured at fair value with changes reported in income is not reclassified either 

during the holding period or if it is initially recognized at fair value with changes reported to profit and loss.

• At all circumstances the bank does not reclassify any financial instrument to financial instrument measured at  fair value with changes reported

to profit and loss or to financial assets held for trading.

H) Held to Maturity Investments

• Held to Maturity investments are non-derivative assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity that the bank management has 

the ability and the positive intent to hold it for the foreseeable future or maturity. Any sales of a significant amount not close to their maturity -

except the emergency cases - would result in the reclassification of all held to maturity investments as available-for-sale.

I) Available-for-sale Investments

• Non-derivative assets that have either been designated as available for sale or do not fit into one of the categories described above. Equity 

investments held without significant influence, which are not held for trading or elected to fair value through income, are classified as available-

for-sale.

J) Financial Assets

• For the assets classified at fair value through P/L ,held to maturity investments and available for sale investments buying and selling operations

are recognized as usual on the trade date which is the date that the bank is committed to buy or sell the financial asset.

• A financial asset that does not originally classify at fair value through P/L is initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. A financial 

asset that is originally classified at fair value through P/L is initially recognized at fair value only and the transaction costs are transferred to P/L

in “Net income from trading activities”.

• Derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or the Bank has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

• Available for sale investments and financial assets designated at fair value through P/L are subsequently held at fair value whereas held to 

maturity investments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

• Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available-for-sale assets should be recognized directly in equity, through the statement

of changes in equity, until the financial asset is sold, collected, or otherwise disposed of, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously 

recognized in equity should be recognized in profit or loss.

• Monetary assets’ interest income is recognized based on the amortized cost method in the income statement. The foreign currency revaluations

differences related to available for sale investments are recognized in the income statement. Available for sale equity instruments related dividends

are recognized in the income statement when they declared.

• Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices in liquid markets. Where no active market exists, or quoted prices are unobtainable, the 

fair value is estimated using a variety of valuation techniques - including discounted cash flow and other pricing models. Inputs to pricing models

are generally market-based when available and taken from reliable external data sources. If the range of reasonable fair value estimates is 

significant and the probabilities of the various estimates cannot be reasonably assessed, an entity may measure the equity instrument at cost 

minus any impairment losses.

• Debt instruments can be reclassified from the available for sale investments to held to maturity investments at fair value when the bank has the

intention and ability to hold to maturity. Any related Profits and losses that was previously recognized in equity are treated as follows:

- Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity valued at amortized cost, using the effective interest method in case 

of impairment the profits & losses that has been previously recognized directly in equity is removed from equity and recognized in the income

statement.

- Profits & losses related to financial assets without fixed or determinable maturity are held in equity till selling or dispose the asset then removed

from equity and recognized in the income statement. In case of impairment the profits & losses that has been previously recognized directly 

in equity is removed from equity and recognized in the income statement.

and charged to “Other investments evaluation difference” in the income statement. In case of an increase in the fair value, such increase will 

be added to the same category in the income statement within the limit of the amounts previously charged. Also investments in jointly controlled

companies are evaluated at cost recorded at cost at acquisition and proportionately consolidated in the consolidated financial statement.

L) Netting:

• Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal 

right to set off the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

• Treasury Bills Repos & reveres Repos agreements are netted on the balance sheet in “Treasury Bills and other governmental notes”.

M) Derivatives & Embedded Derivatives:

• Derivatives are measured initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured at fair value. Fair values are obtained from quoted prices prevailing

in active markets, including recent market transactions, and valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow models and options pricing 

models as appropriate. All derivatives are included in assets when their fair value is positive and liabilities when their fair value is negative.

N) Repos & (Reverse Repos) Transactions:

• Repos (Reveres Repos) agreements are eliminated (recorded) on the balance sheet under “Treasury Bills and Other governmental Notes“ 

whereas its cost (revenue) is recorded in “interest received from treasury Bills & Bonds“ item in Income Statement using the effective interest 

rate method.

O) Impairment of financial assets:

O/1) Financial Assets held to maturity:

The Bank assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio of financial assets is 

impaired. A financial asset or portfolio of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if, and only if, there is objective evidence

of impairment as a result of one or more loss events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and prior to the balance sheet date 

('a loss event') and that loss event or events has had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the portfolio that 

can be reliably estimated. Objective evidence that a financial asset or a portfolio is impaired includes observable data that comes to the attention

of the Bank about the following loss events:

- Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

- It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial Re-organization.

O/2) Available-for-sale Investments:

- The Bank assess at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets under

available for sale investments or held to maturity investment is impaired. In the case of equity instruments classified as available for sale, a 

significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether impairment exists.

P) Intangible Assets:

P/1) Goodwill:

- Goodwill is capitalized and represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Bank’s share of the acquired entity’s 

net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition. For the purpose of calculating goodwill, the fair values of acquired assets, liabilities and 

contingent liabilities are determined by reference to market values or by discounting expected future cash flows to present value. Goodwill is 

included in the cost of investments in associated and subsidiaries investments in the Bank standalone financial statements. Goodwill is tested

for impairment whereas the income statements are charged by the impairment.

Goodwill is allocated over the cash generating units for the purpose of testing the impairment. The cash generating units represent the main 

segments of the bank.

P/2) Other intangible assets:

- Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Bank are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any adjustment for impairment 

losses. Other intangible assets are comprised of separately identifiable items arising from acquisition of subsidiaries, such as customer 

relationships, and certain purchased trademarks and similar items. Amortization is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis 

over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset with definite life. Intangible assets with indefinite life are not amortized but they are tested

for impairment

Q) Non financial assets impairment:

• Assets with indefinite life (except for Goodwill) are assessed at each balance sheet date or more frequently, to determine whether there is any 

indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets are subject to an impairment review.

• An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset that generates largely independent cash flows or the cash-generating

unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in 

use. To calculate value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects 

current market rates and the risks specific to the asset.

R) Assets Acquired for settlement of Debts:

• These Assets are recorded in the Financial Statement under “debit balances & Other Assets“ at cost and in case of a decrease of the fair value

of these assets at the Financial Statement date, the difference is charged to the income statement and the increase of the fair value should be 

credited to the income statement within the limit of amounts charged in previous financial periods.

CIB 2008 ANNUAL REPORT

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

107

S) Provision for Doubtful Debts and Contingent Accounts:

• Provision for Doubtful Debts is established on the basis of an appraisal of the identified risk for specific loans and contingent accounts in addition

to general percentages from one to five according to the basis of appraising the customer’s credit worthiness issued by the central bank of Egypt

on 6th of June 2005.

• Provision for Doubtful Debts decreases by loans written off and increases by recoveries of loans previously written off. In addition to taking all 

the necessary legal action required, a continuous follow up is performed for the recovery of all or part of the written-off amounts.

T) Contingent Liability Accounts:

• Contingent Liability Accounts include transactions in which the Bank is involved as a third party. Such transactions do not represent actual bank’s

assets or liabilities at the Financial Statement date.

U) Cash & Cash Equivalent:

• In the Statement of Cash Flow, the Cash and Cash Equivalent item includes balances of cash and due from Central Bank, current account 

balances with Banks and Treasury Bills with maturities of three months from acquisition.

V) Depreciation and Amortization:

• Depreciation of Fixed Assets (except for lands) is calculated on the basis of the estimated useful life of each asset using the straight-line method.

• Improvement and renovation expenses for the bank's leased premises are amortized over the period of the lease contract or the estimated useful

life whichever is lower.

W) Share-based payments to employees:

• The Bank engages in equity settled share-based payment transactions in respect of services received from certain of its employees.

• The fair value of the services received is measured by reference to the fair value of the shares or equity instruments granted on the date of the

grant. The cost of the employee services received in respect of the shares or equity instruments granted is recognized in the income statement

over the period that the services are received, which is the vesting period. The fair value of the equity instruments granted is determined using 

option pricing models, which take into account the exercise price of the instrument, the current share price, the risk free interest rate, the expected

volatility of the bank share price over the life of the equity instrument and other relevant factors. Except for those which include terms related to

market conditions, vesting conditions included in the terms of the grant.

• Are not taken into account in estimating fair value. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of shares or 

equity instruments included in the measurement of the cost of employee services so that ultimately, the amount recognized in the income 

statement reflects the number of vested shares or equity instruments. Where vesting conditions are related to market conditions, the charges 

for the services received are recognized regardless of whether or not the market related vesting condition is met, provided that the non-market

vesting conditions are met.

X) Taxes:

• Income Tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax is recognized in the Income statement.

• Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet

date.

• Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and 

the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of 

the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

• A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can 

be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.

(3) Financial Instruments and their risk management:

(3/1)Financial Instruments:

A) The bank's financial instruments are represented in the financial Assets and Liabilities. The financial assets include cash, due from banks,

to cover its requirements of Foreign currencies or the bank’s customers’ requirements to fulfill their obligations resulting from short-term transactions.

A) Interest rate risk:

The value of some financial instruments fluctuates due to the fluctuation in interest rates related thereto. The bank follows some procedures to

• Monitoring and preparing periodic studies about customers in order to evaluate their financial and credit positions and estimate the required 

provisions for non - performing loans.

• Distribution of loans portfolio and due from banks over various sectors to avoid concentration of risk.

Note No. (35) Discloses the distribution of loans portfolio over various sectors.

C) Foreign Currency Risk:

• The nature of the bank’s activity requires the bank to deal in many foreign currencies which expose the bank to the risk of fluctuation in exchange

rates. To minimize this risk, the bank monitors the balances of foreign currency positions according to Central Bank of Egypt instructions in that

respect. Note No. (36) Of the financial statements discloses significant foreign currency positions at the balance sheet date.

(4) Accounting estimates and assumptions:

- The preparation of financial statements requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates, at times, regarding matters that are 

inherently uncertain. These judgments and estimates affect reported amounts and disclosures. Those judgments and estimates are based on 

historical experience and other factors containing the expectations of the future events that are reasonable estimated in accordance of the available

conditions & information.

- The most significant areas requiring management to make judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts and disclosures are as follows:

A) Impairment of the available for sale equity instruments:

• In the case of available for sale equity instruments, a significant or Continuous decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered

as impairment. Where such evidence exists, significant or Continuous decline needs a personal judgment. To make this judgment the bank 

assesses-besides other factors-the common share price volatility. In addition, impairment exists when there is objective evidence that a certain

company has a financial difficulty in its cash flow from operating and financing activities, industry tool or sector or technological advances.

• If each significant or Continuous decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered, the bank will charge an additional loss of 

EGP 20,312,399 represents transferring all the fair value reserve to P/L.

B) Derivatives’ Fair Value:

• For the unquoted financial instruments, the fair value is determined using a variety of valuation techniques which are tested and reviewed 

periodically by high qualified staffs that are independent of those who created the models. The models used are validated prior put into use. 

Inputs to pricing models are generally market-based when available and taken from reliable external data sources. While areas like the bank 

credit risk, counterparties, volatility and correlations require management to make judgments & estimations. Changes in the assumptions related

to these factors may affect the financial instruments fair values which have been disclosed.

C) Held to maturity Investments:

• Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held to maturity. This category requires

personal judgment therefore the bank tests whether there is a genuine intent and ability to hold such investments to maturity. If the bank fails 

to hold such investments till maturity (except for certain tightly defined circumstances such as if an entity sells an insignificant amount of held-

to-maturity investments close to maturity date), investments should be reclassified as available-for-sale, which will be measured at fair value 

instead of amortized cost.

• In case of having the held to maturity portfolio tainted, the book value of the portfolio will decrease by EGP 54 035 585 to reflect the fair value 

through debiting the fair value reserve within equity.

13- Financial Derivatives

The bank uses the following financial derivatives for  non hedging purposes.

* Forward contracts represents commitments of buying foreign and local currencies including unexecuted spot transactions. Future contracts for 

foreign  currencies and/or interest rates represents contractual commitments  to receive or pay net amount on the basis of changes in foreign 

exchange rates or interest rates, and/or buying or selling foreign currencies or financial instruments in a future date with a fixed contractual price

under active financial market.

* Credit risk is considered low, and future interest rate contracts represents future exchange rate contracts negotiated for case by case, these 

contracts requires financial settlements of any differences in contractual interest rates and prevailing market interest rates on future dates based

on contractual amount (nominal value) pre agreed upon.

* Foreign exchange and/or interest rate swap represents commitments to exchange cash flows, resulting from these contracts exchange of currencies

or interest (fixed rate  versus variable rate for example) or both (meaning foreign exchange and interest rate contracts)/ contractual amounts are

not exchanged except for some foreign exchange contracts

* Credit risk is represented in the expected cost of foreign exchange contracts that takes place if other parties default to fulfill their liabilities. This 

risk is monitored continuously through comparisons of fair value and contractual amount, and to control continuously through comparisons of fair

value and contractual amount, and to control the outstanding credit risk, the bank evaluates other parties using the same methods as in borrowing

activities.

* Options contracts in foreign currencies and/or interest rates represents contractual agreements for the buyer (issuer) to seller (holders) as a right

not an obligations whether to buy (buy option) or to sell (sell option) at a certain day or within certain period for a certain amount in foreign currency

or interest rate. Options contracts are either traded in  the market or negotiated between the bank and one of its client (Off balance sheet). The 

bank exposed to credit risk for purchased options contracts only and in the line of its book cost which represent its fair value.

* The contractual value for some derivatives options considered a base to compare the realized financial instruments on the balance sheet, but it didn’t

provide indicator on the projected cash flows of the fair value for current instruments, those amounts doesn’t reflect credit risk or interest rate risk.

* Derivatives in the banks benefit represent (assets) conversely it represents (liabilities) as a result of the changes in foreign exchange prices or 

interest rates related to these derivatives. Contractual / expected total amounts of financial derivatives can fluctuate from time to time and also 

the range through which the financial derivatives can be in benefit of the bank or conversely against its benefit and the total fair value of the financial

derivatives in assets and liabilities. Hereunder are the fair values of the booked financial derivatives.
