As at 31 December 2017 there are no interest rate swaps.

In 2016, the Group changed its financing strategy and in November refinanced the first part of its mortgage loans with a bond. As a consequence, the designated purpose of the interest rate swaps changed from hedging to trading. The negative fair value was therefore recognised in the balance sheet.
