Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
1. Background:
QNB ALAHLI "S.A.E" ("The Bank") was incorporated as an investment and commercial bank on April 13, 1978, in accordance with the provisions of the
Investment Law no 43 of 1974 and its executive regulations and the amendments thereon. The Bank provides all banking services related to its activity,
through its Head Office located in 5 Champlion Street - Downtown - Cairo and its 234 branches served by 7,209 staff at the date of the financial
statements. The Bank is listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX).
These Financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on January 11, 2024.
These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) rules approved by its
Board of Directors on December 16, 2008; and as per IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in accordance with the instructions of the Central Bank of Egypt
(CBE) dated February 26, 2019.
The separate and consolidated financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the instructions of the
Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) rules, the affiliated companies are entirely included in the consolidated financial statements and these companies are the
companies that the Bank - directly or indirectly has more than half of the voting rights or has the ability to control the financial and operating policies,
regardless of the type of activity, the Bank’s consolidated financial statements can be obtained from the Bank's management. The Bank accounts for
investments in subsidiaries and associate companies in the separate financial statements at cost minus impairment loss.
The separate financial statements of the Bank should be read with its consolidated financial statements, for the Year ended on December 31, 2023 to get
complete information on the Bank’s financial position, income statements, cash flows and change in shareholders equity.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are presented in the attached separate financial statements using the cost method which represents the
bank’s direct share ownership and not according to the business results and the net assets of the investees. And the consolidated financial statements
provide a wider understanding for the consolidated financial position, business results and the consolidated cash flows for the bank and its subsidiaries
)The Group(, including the bank’s share in the net assets of its associate companies.
Subsidiaries are entities (including Special Purposes Entities / SPEs) which the bank exercises direct or indirect control over its financial and operating
policies in order to get benefits from its activities and usually have an ownership share of more than half of its voting rights. The existence and effect of
potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered in assessing whether the bank has the control over its investees.
Associates are entities over which the bank exercises significant influence directly or indirectly, but without exercising control or joint control, where
the bank holds 20% to 50% of voting rights in the associate.
The purchase method is used to account for the bank's purchases of subsidiaries and associates when they are initially recognized; the acquisition date
is the date on which the acquirer obtains control or significant influence of acquiree “subsidiary or associate”. According to the purchase method, the
investments in subsidiaries and associates are initially recognized at cost (which may be incorporated goodwill). The acquisition cost represents the
fair value of the consideration given in addition to the other acquisition related costs.
In business combination achieved in stages, and business combination achieved through more than one transaction, is then dealing with every
transaction of such transactions that separately on the basis of the acquisition consideration and fair value information at the date of each transition
until the date where the control is achieved.
The investments in subsidiaries and associates are subsequently accounted for using the cost method on the separate financial statements. According
to the cost method; investments are recognized at acquisition cost less any impairment losses in value, if any. Dividends are recognized as revenue in
the separate income statement when they are declared and the bank's right to collect them has been established.
An operating segment is a group of assets and operations providing products or services whose risks and benefits are different from those associated
with products or services provided by other operating segments. A geographical segment provides products or services within a specific economic
environment characterized by risks and benefits different from those related to other geographical segments operating in a different economic
environment.
The Bank is divided into two main business lines, which are corporate banking and retail banking. In addition, a corporate center acts as a central
funding department for the bank’s core businesses. The dealing room, proprietary activity and other non-core businesses are reported under the
corporate banking business line.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
For the purpose of preparation of segment reporting by geographical region, segment profit or loss and assets and liabilities are presented based on the
location of the branches. Given that the bank does not have any entity abroad, and unless otherwise stated in a specific disclosure, all equity and debt
instruments of the bank issued by foreign institutions and credit facilities granted to foreign counterparties are reported based on the location of the
domestic branch where such assets are recorded.
The Bank maintains its accounting records in Egyptian pounds. Transactions in foreign currencies during the period are translated into the Egyptian
pounds using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-
translated at end of reporting Year at the exchange rates then prevailing. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement and translation of
such transactions and balances are recognized in the income statement and reported under the following line items:
- Net trading income from held for trading assets and liabilities;
- Other operating revenues (expenses) from the remaining assets and liabilities;
- Investments in equity instrument recognized at fair value through other comprehensive income in equity.
Changes in the fair value of investments in debt instruments; which represent monetary financial instruments, denominated in foreign currencies and
classified as FVTOCI assets are analyzed into differences resulting from changes in the amortized cost of the instrument, differences resulting from
changes in the applicable exchange rates and differences resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument. Differences resulting from changes
in the amortized cost are recognized and reported in the income statement in "Interest on loans and similar income" whereas differences resulting from
changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized and reported in "Other operating revenues (expenses)". The remaining differences resulting from
changes in fair value are recognized in equity and accumulated in the "Fair value reserve" in Other Comprehensive Income.
Valuation differences arising on the measurement of non-monetary items at fair value include gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates used to translate those items. Total fair value changes arising on the measurement of equity instruments classified as at fair value
through the profit or loss are recognized in the income statement, whereas total fair value changes arising on the measurement of equity instruments
classified as FVTOCI are recognized directly in equity in the "Fair value revaluation reserve" in Other comprehensive income.
Financial assets classified as amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) and fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
The classification depends on the buisness model of the financial assets that are managed with its contractual cash flow and is determined by
management at the time of initial recognition.
The financial asset is retained in the business model of financial assets held to collect contractual cash flow. The objective from this business model is to
collect contractual cash flow which represented in principal and interest. The sale is an exceptional event for the purpose of this model and under the
terms of the standard represented in following:
2.5.2.2 Financial assets classified as fair value through other comprehensive income
The financial asset is retained in the business model of financial assets held to collect contractual cash flows and sales. Held to collect contractual cash
flows and sales are integrated to achieve the objective of the model. Sales are high in terms of turnover and value as compared to the business model
retained for the collection of contractual cash flows.
The financial asset is held in other business models including trading, management of financial assets at fair value, maximization of cash flows through
sale.
The objective of the business model is not to retain the financial asset for the collection of contractual or retained cash flows for the collection of
contractual cash flows and sales. Collecting contractual cash flows is an incidental event for the objective of the model.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
Financial assets and liabilities are offset when the bank has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and it intends to settle these
amounts on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Embedded derivatives, such as the conversion option in a convertible bond, are treated as separate derivatives if they meet the definition of a financial
instruments, and when their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host contract, provided that the host contract is
not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. These embedded derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the
income statement "Net trading income" ;unless the bank chooses to designate the hybrid contract as a whole as at fair value through profit or loss.
The timing of recognition in profit or loss, of any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives, depends on whether the derivative
is designated as a hedging instrument, and the nature of the item being hedged. The parent bank designates certain derivatives as:
- Hedging instruments of the risks associated with fair value changes of recognized assets or liabilities or firm commitments (fair value hedge);
-
Hedging of risks relating to future cash flows attributable to a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).
Hedge accounting is used for derivatives designated in a hedging relationship when the following criteria are met. At the inception of the hedging
relationship, the bank documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and
its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the bank documents
whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
When the hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item, measured at amortized
cost, arising from the hedged risk is amortized to profit or loss from that date to maturity of the asset using the effective interest method. Adjustment to
the carrying amount of a hedged equity instrument that has been deferred in equity remains in equity until the asset is derecognized.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and effective for cash flow hedge is recognized in equity while changes in fair
value relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the income statement in "Net trading income".
Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to income statement in the relevant periods when the hedged item affects the income statement. The
effective portion of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps and options are reported in "Net trading income".
When a hedging item expires, or is sold or if hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting requirements, gains or losses that have been
previously accumulated in equity remain in equity and are only recognized in profit or loss when the forecast transaction ultimately occurs. If the
forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized in equity
shall be reclassified immediately to profit or loss.
Where a derivative instrument does not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value of that derivative and related interest are recognized
immediately in the income statement in "Net trading income" line item. However, gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of derivatives that
are managed in conjunction with financial assets or financial liabilities, designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss, are
included in "Net income from financial instruments designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss".
- Interest income and expense on all interest-bearing financial instruments are recognized in "Interest income" and "Interest expense" line items in the
income statement using the effective interest rate method.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
- The effective interest rate is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument whether a financial asset or a financial liability and of
allocating its interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future
cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial debt instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of
the financial asset or financial liability on initial recognition. When calculating the effective interest rate, the bank estimates the future cash flows,
considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) but does not consider future credit losses. The
calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction
costs and all other premiums or discounts.
Interest income on loans is recognized on an accrual basis except for the interest income on non-performing loans, which ceases to be recognized as
revenue when the recovery of interest or principle is in doubt.
- Interest income on non-performing or impaired (Stage 3) loans and receivables ceases to be recognized in profit or loss and is rather recorded off-balance
sheet in statistical records. Interest income on these loans is recognized as revenue on a cash basis as follows:
1- For retail loans, personal loans, small and medium business loans, real estate loans for personal housing and small loans for businesses, when interest
income is collected and after recovery of all arrears.
2- For corporate loans, interest income is recognized on a cash-basis after the bank collects 25% of the rescheduled installments and provided these
installments continue to be paid for at least one year.
If a loan continues to be performing thereafter, interest accrued on the principal then outstanding starts to be recognized as revenues. Interest that is
marginalized prior to the date when the loan becomes performing is not recognized in the profit or loss except when the total balance of loan, prior to
that date, is paid in full.
Fees charged for servicing a loan or facility that is measured at amortized cost, are recognized as revenue as the service is provided. Fees and
commissions on non-performing or impaired loans or receivables cease to be recognized as income and are rather recorded off balance sheet. These are
recognized as revenue - on a cash basis - only when interest income on those loans is recognized in profit or loss, at which time, fees and commissions
that are an integral part of the effective interest rate of a financial asset are treated as an adjustment to the effective interest rate of that financial asset.
Commitment fees received by the bank to originate a loan are deferred if it is probable that the bank will enter into a specific lending arrangement and
are regarded as a compensation for an ongoing involvement with the acquisition of the financial instrument and recognized as an adjustment to the
effective interest rate. If the commitment expires without the bank making the loan, the fees are recognized as revenue on expiry.
Loan syndication fees received by the bank are recognized as revenue when the syndication has been completed, only if the bank arranges the loan and
retains no part of the loan package for itself (or retains a part at the same effective interest rate for comparable risk as other participants).
Fees and commissions that are earned on negotiating or participating in the negotiation of a transaction in favor of another entity, such as
arrangements for the allotment of shares or another financial instrument or acquisition or sale of an enterprise on behalf of a client, are recognized as
revenue when the transaction has been completed. Administrative consultations and other service fees are usually recognized as revenue on a straight-
line basis over the period in which the service is rendered. Fees from financial planning management and custodian services provided to clients over
long periods are usually recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period in which these services are rendered.
Dividend income on investments in equity instruments and similar assets is recognized in the income statement when the bank’s right to receive
payment is established.
2.11 Purchase and resale agreements and sale and repurchase agreements (repos and reverse repos)
Financial instruments sold under repurchase agreements are not derecognized from the statement of financial position and cash receipts are shown in
liability side in the statement of financial position.
The Bank reviews all its financial assets except for financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss to assess the extent of
impairment as described below.
Financial assets are classified at three stages at each reporting date:
- Stage 1 : Financial assets that have not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the date of initial recognition, and the expected credit loss
is calculated for 12 months.
- Stage 2 : Financial assets that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition or the date on which the investments are
made, and the expected credit loss is calculated over the life of the asset.
- Stage 3 :Impairment of financial assets whose expected credit loss is to be recognized over the life of the asset on the basis of the difference between the
carrying amount of the instrument and the present value of expected future cash flows.
Credit losses and impairment losses on the value of financial instruments are measured as follows:

QNB ALAHLI S.A.E
Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
• The low risk financial instrument is classified at initial recognition in the first stage and credit risk is monitored continuously by the Bank's credit risk
management.
• If it is determined that there has been a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition, the financial instrument is transferred to the
second stage where it is not yet considered impaired at this stage.
• If there are indicators of impairment of the financial instrument, it is transferred to the third stage.
• The financial assets created or acquired by the Bank and include a high credit risk ratio for the Bank's low risk financial assets are recognized on the
initial recognition of the second stage directly and therefore the expected credit losses are measured on the basis of expected credit losses over the life of
the asset.
The Bank considers that the financial instrument has experienced a significant increase in the credit risk when one or more of the following quantitative
and qualitative criteria, as well as the factors relating to default, have been met.
2.12.2.2 Quantitative factors
When the probability of default over the remaining life of the instrument is increased from the date of the financial position compared to the probability
of default over the remaining life expected at initial recognition in accordance with the Bank's acceptable risk structure.

annually tested for impairment and is written-down to profit or loss at an annual amortization of 20% or impairment loss, whichever is higher.

2.13.2 Software (computer programs)
Expenditure on upgrade and maintenance of computer programs is recognized as an expense in the income statement in the period in which it is
incurred. Expenditures directly incurred in connection with specific software are recognized as intangible assets if they are controlled by the bank and
when it is probable that they will generate future economic benefits within more than one year that exceed its cost. Direct costs include the cost of the
staff involved in upgrading the software in addition to a reasonable portion of relative overheads.
Upgrade costs are recognized and added to the original cost of the software when it is likely that such costs will increase the efficiency or enhance the
performance of the computers software beyond its original specification.
Cost of computer software recognized as an asset shall be amortized over the period of expected benefits from three to five years except for the core IT
system which is amortized over ten years.
The Bank’s property and equipment include lands and buildings of the bank which basically comprise the head office premises and branch buildings. All
property and equipment are carried at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the construction or acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the assets
carrying amount or recognized separately, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to
the bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Repairs and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss within "other operating
costs" line item during the financial year in which they are incurred.
The Bank considers the residual value of its property and equipment as insignificant and immaterial in relation to the depreciable amount; therefore, the
depreciable amount of the bank’s property and equipment is determined without any deduction for residual values. Depreciation is charged so as to write
off the cost of assets, other than land which is not depreciated, over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method based on the following
annual rates:
Buildings 50 years
Decoration & installations 10 years
Lifts 15 years
Electricity & Air conditioning 10 years
Fixtures Generators 30 years
Telephone network & CCTV 10 years
Firefighting system & Plumbing system 10 years
Other installations 10 years
The shortest of 10
Leasehold improvements years or contract
period
Depreciation periods for property and equipment, other than buildings, depend on their useful lives which are usually estimated as specified below:
Furniture 10 years
Armored vaults 20-30 years
IT equipment 5 years
Electric appliances 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
The bank reviews the carrying amounts of its depreciable property and equipment whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the
carrying amounts of those assets may not be recovered. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount is
reduced to its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the asset’s net realizable value or value in use. Gains or losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with relevant carrying amount. These are included in the profit or loss in other operating income (expenses) in the income
statement.
Non-financial assets that do not have definite useful lives, except for goodwill, are not amortized. These are annually tested for impairment. Depreciable
property and equipment are tested for impairment whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may
not be recovered. Impairment loss is recognized and the carrying amount of an asset is reduced to the extent that such carrying amount exceeds the
asset's recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of the asset’s net realizable value or value in use. For the purpose of estimating the impairment loss,
where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the bank estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating
unit to which the asset belongs is estimated.
At the end of each year, the bank reviews non-financial assets for which an impairment loss is recognized to assess whether or not all or part of such
impairment losses should be reversed through profit or loss.
2.16 Leasing
All lease contracts to which the bank is a party are treated as operating or finance leases as follows:
2.16.1 As a lessee
Lease payments made under operating leases, net of any discounts received from the lessor, are recognized as an expense in the profit or loss on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

QNB ALAHLI S.A.E
Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
2.16.2 As a lessor
Assets leased out under operating lease contracts are reported as part of the property and equipment in the statement of financial position and are
depreciated over the expected useful lives of the assets, on the same basis as other property assets. Lease rental income is recognized in profit or loss, net
of any discounts granted to the lessee, using the straight line method over the contract term.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise balances due within three months from date of placement or
acquisition. They include cash and balances placed with the Central Bank of Egypt (other than those required under the mandatory reserve), current
accounts with banks and treasury bills, certificates of deposits and other governmental notes.
Provisions for obligations, other than those for credit risk or employee benefits, due within more than 12 months from the date of separate financial
statements are recognized based on the present value of the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting
date. An appropriate pretax discount rate that reflects the time value of money is used to calculate the present value of such provisions.
For obligations due within less than twelve months from the date of separate financial statements, provisions are calculated based on undiscounted
expected cash outflows unless the time value of money is material, in which case provisions are measured at present value.
When a provision is wholly or partially no longer required, it is reversed through the profit or loss under "Other Operating Income (Expenses)" line item.
A financial guarantee contract is a contract issued by the bank as security for loans or overdrafts due from its clients to other entities that requires the
bank to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance
with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are generally issued by the bank to beneficiary banks, corporations and
other entities on behalf of the bank’s clients.
When a financial guarantee is recognized initially, it is measured at its fair value plus, transaction costs that is directly attributable to the issue of such
financial guarantee.
After initial recognition, a financial guarantee contract issued by the bank is measured at the higher of:
(I) The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization of security fees recognized as income in profit or loss using
the straight-line method over the term of the guarantee; and
(II) The best estimate for the payments required to settle any financial obligation resulting from the financial guarantee at the reporting date.
Such estimates are made based on experience in similar transactions and historical losses as supported by management judgment.
Any increase in the obligations resulting from the financial guarantee, shall be recognized within other operating income (expenses) in the income
statement.
The Bank is liable for all obligations arising from its plans for employee benefits which comply, in all material respects, with the principles set out below.
Starting 1 January 2009, the bank has fully complied with the policy referred to below, and recognized any adjustments, resulting from the first full
implementation of amendments to the CBE rules, directly on retained earnings.
The Bank provides several post-employment benefits to its employees, such as the medical care scheme which qualifies as a defined-benefit plan. A
defined benefit plan commits the bank, either formally or constructively, to pay a certain amount or level of future benefits and therefore bears the
medium- or long-term risk.

QNB ALAHLI S.A.E
Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
The Bank recognizes the defined benefit obligation as a liability in the statement of financial position under "obligations for post-retirement schemes" to
cover the total value of such obligations. This is assessed regularly by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. This valuation
technique incorporates assumptions about demographics variables, staff turnover, salary growth rate and discount and inflation rates.
When these plans are financed from external funds classified as plan assets, the fair value of these funds is subtracted from the defined benefit
obligation. Differences arising from changes in the actuarial assumptions and estimates are recognized in the income statement as actuarial gains or
losses to the extent of the higher of the following two amounts as of the end of the previous financial period:
• 10% of the present value of the defined benefit obligation (before deducting plan assets); and
• 10% of the fair value of the plan assets.
Actuarial gains and losses that exceed the 10 percent criteria above are amortized to profit or loss over the expected average remaining working lives of
the participating employees.
Past service cost is recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits have already vested, and otherwise is amortized on a straight-line basis over
the average period until the benefits become vested. Annual cost of employee benefits plans is reported as part of general and administrative expenses
(employee costs).
Defined contribution plans are pension schemes whereby the bank pays defined contributions to an independent entity. The Bank shall not be under
legal or constructive obligation to pay more contributions if this entity doesn’t maintain adequate assets to pay-off the employees’ benefits in return for
their service in the current and previous periods.
According to the defined contribution plans, the bank pays contributions to private sector pension scheme under mandatory or voluntary contractual
arrangement. The Bank shall be under no additional obligation other than the contribution payments. Contributions to defined contribution retirement
benefit plans are recognized as employee benefits cost when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. Prepaid contributions
shall be recognized as assets to the extent that these contribution payments will reduce future payments or result in cash refunds.
Income tax expense on the years’s profit or loss represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax and is recognized in the income
statement, except when they relate to items that are recognized directly in equity, in which case the tax is also recognized in equity.
The Bank’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting Year, in
addition to income tax differences related to prior years.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to
apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that
sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. However, when it is expected that the tax benefit will increase,
the carrying amount of deferred tax assets shall increase to the extent of previous reduction.
2.22 Borrowings
Loans obtained by the bank are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs incurred in connection with obtaining the loan. Borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortized cost, with the difference between net proceeds and the value to be paid over the borrowing period, recognized in
profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.
2.23 Capital
2.23.1 Capital issuance cost
Issued and paid up-capital (i.e. Bank's own equity instruments) is initially measured at the cash proceeds received, less transaction costs directly
attributable to the issuance of new shares, issuance of shares to effect business combination, or issue of share options. Transaction costs, net of tax
benefits, are reported as a deduction from equity.
2.23.2 Dividends
Dividends on equity instruments issued by the bank are recognized when the general assembly of the bank’s shareholders approves them. Dividends
include the employees’ profit share and the board of directors’ remuneration as prescribed by the bank's articles of incorporation and the corporate law.
The Bank carries out fiduciary activities that result in ownerships or management of assets on behalf of individuals, trusts, and retirement benefit plans
and other institutions. These assets and income arising thereon are not recognized in the bank’s separate financial statements, as they are not assets or
income of the bank.
2.25 Comparative figures
Comparative figures are reclassified, where necessary, to conform to changes in the current Year's financial statements presentation.

The Bank as a result of conducting its activities is exposed to various financial risks. Since financial activities are based on the concept of accepting risks
and analyzing and managing individual risks or group of risks altogether, the bank aims at achieving a well-balanced risks and relevant rewards, as
appropriate and to reduce the probable adverse effects on the bank’s financial performance. The most important types of risks are credit risk, market
risk, liquidity risk and other operating risks. The market risk comprises foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other pricing risks.
For example, the bank has laid down to determine and analyze the risks, set limits to the risks and control them through reliable methods and
up–to–date systems. The Bank regularly reviews the risk management policies and systems and amendments thereto, so that they reflect the changes in
markets, products and services and the best up-to–date applications.
Risks are managed in accordance with pre-approved policies by the board of directors. The risk management department identifies, evaluates and covers
financial risks, in close collaboration with the bank’s various operating units. The board of directors provides written rules which cover certain risk
areas, such as credit risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. Moreover, the risk
department is responsible for the periodic review of risk management and the control environment independently.
The Bank operates in business lines, which generate a range of risks whose frequency, severity and volatility can be of different and significant
magnitudes. A greater ability to calibrate its risk appetite and risk parameters, the development of risk management core competencies, as well as the
implementation of a high-performance and efficient risk management structure are therefore critical undertakings for bank.
Thus, the primary objectives of the bank’s risk management framework are:
- To contribute to the development of the Bank in various business lines to reach an ideal level of general risk.
- To guarantee the bank’s sustainability as a going concern, through the implementation of a high-quality risk management infrastructure.
In defining the bank’s overall risk appetite, the bank management takes various considerations and variables into account, including:
• The relative balance between risk and reward of the bank’s various activities.
• Earnings sensitivity to business, credit and economic cycles.
• The aim of achieving a well-balanced portfolio of earnings streams.
Risk management governance and risk principles
i) Strong managerial involvement, throughout the entire organization, starting from the Board of Directors down to operational field management teams.
Within the board, the Risk and Audit Committees are more specifically responsible for examining the consistency of the internal framework for
monitoring risks and compliance.
Risk categories
The following are part of the risks associated with Bank’s Banking activities:
a- Credit risk:
(Including country risk): represents risk of losses arising from the inability of the Bank’s customers, sovereign issuers or other counterparties
to meet their financial commitments.
Credit risk also includes the replacement risk linked to market transactions. In addition, credit risk may be further increased by a
concentration risk, which arises either from large individual exposures or from groups of counterparties with a high default probability.
b- Market risk:
Represents risk of loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates.
c- Operational risk:
(Including legal, compliance, accounting, environmental, reputational risks, etc.): represents risk of loss or fraud or of producing inaccurate
financial and accounting data due to inadequacies or failures in procedures and internal systems, human error or external events. Additionally,
operational risks may also take the form of compliance risk, which is the risk of the bank incurring either legal, administrative or disciplinary
sanctions or financial losses due to failure to comply with relevant rules and regulations.
d- Structural interest and exchange rate risk:
Represents risk of loss or of residual depreciation in the bank’s balance sheet and off-balance sheet assets arising from changes in interest or
exchange rates. Structural interest and exchange rate risk arises from banking commercial activities and on Corporate Center transactions
(operations on equities, investments and bond issues).
e- Liquidity risk:
Represents the risk that bank might not be able to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Bank dedicates significant resources to constantly adapting its risk management to its activities and ensures that its risk management framework
operates in full compliance with the following fundamental principles of:
- Full independence of risk assessment departments from the operating divisions; and
- Consistent approach to risk assessment and monitoring applied throughout the bank.
The Risk Division is independent from the bank’s operating entities and reports directly to general management. Its role is to contribute to the
development and profitability of the bank by ensuring that the risk management framework in place is both robust and effective. It employs various
teams specializing in the operational management of credit and market risk.
- Defines and approves the methods used to analyze, assess, approve and monitor credit risks, country risks, market risks and operational risks; conducts
a critical review of commercial strategies in high risk areas and continually seeks to improve such risk forecasting and management;
- Contributes to independent assessment by analyzing transactions implying a credit risk and by providing guidance on transactions proposed by sales
managers;
The Assets and Liabilities Unit under the Finance Division, for its part, is entrusted with assessing and managing other major types of risks, namely
liquidity and structural risks (resulting from interest rate, exchange rate and liquidity) as well as the bank’s long term financing, management of capital
requirements and equity structure.
The Internal Legal Counsel deals with compliance and legal risks.
Responsibility for devising the relevant risk management structure and defining risk management operating principles lies mainly with both the Risk
Division and, in particular fields, the assets and liabilities management under Finance Division.
The Bank’s Risk Committee is in charge of reviewing all the bank’s key risk management issues and meets at least on quarterly basis. Risk Committee’s
monthly meetings involve members of the Executive Committee, the heads of the business lines and the Risk Division managers and are used to review
all the core strategic issues: risk-taking policies, assessment methods, material and human resources, analysis of credit portfolios and of the cost of risk,
market and credit concentration limits (by product, country, sector, region, etc.).
On the other hand, the Assets and Liabilities management committee (ALCO) is competent for matters relating to funding and liquidity policy making
and planning.
All new products and activities or products under development must be submitted to the New Product Committee.
This New Product Committee aims at ensuring that, prior to the launch of a new activity or product, all associated risks are fully understood, measured,
approved and subject to adequate procedures and controls, using the available information and processing systems.
Operational risks, permanent control and audit (periodic) control process are supervised by the Audit and Accounts Committee that meets on a quarterly
basis.
Finally, the Bank’s risk management principles, procedures and infrastructures and their implementation are monitored by the Internal Audit team and
the External Auditors.
The Bank is exposed to the credit risk which is the risk resulting from failure of the client to meet its contractual obligations towards the bank. The credit
risk is considered to be the most significant risk for the bank, therefore requiring careful management. The credit risk manifests itself in the lending
activities and debt instruments in bank’s assets as well as off balance sheet financial instruments, such as letters of credit and letters of guarantee.
Maintaining comprehensive and efficient management and monitoring of credit risk – which constitutes the bank’s primary source of risk – is vital to
preserving bank financial strength and profitability. As a result, the bank implements a tight credit risk control framework, whose cornerstone is the
Credit Risk Policy and Authorities defined jointly by the Risk Division and the Business Lines, and is subject to periodic review and approval by the
Board of Directors.
Within the Risk Division, persons are responsible for:
- Setting credit limits by customer, customer group or transaction type;
- Approving credit score or internal customer rating criteria;
- Monitoring and surveillance of large exposures and various credit portfolios; and
- Reviewing specific and general provisioning policies.

In addition, comprehensive portfolio analysis is performed in order to provide guidance to the General Management on the bank’s overall credit risk
exposure as well as reporting to Risk Committee.
The Risk Division also helps define criteria for measuring risk and defining appropriate provisioning practices.
Risk approval
Embedded in bank’s credit policy is the concept that approval of any credit risk undertaking must be based on sound knowledge of the client and a
thorough understanding of the client’s business, the purpose, nature and structure of the transaction and the sources of repayment, while bearing in
mind the bank’s risk strategy and risk appetite.
- All transactions involving replacement risk must be pre-authorized, replacement risk is bearing a loss when a bank is forced to replace a contract in case
of breaching the original party's contract (debtor risk, non-settlement or non-delivery risk and issuer risk).
- Staff assessing credit risk is fully independent from the decision-making process.
- Subject to relevant credit delegations, responsibility for analyzing and approving risk lies with the most appropriate business line or credit risk unit,
which reviews all authorization requests relating to a specific client or client group, to ensure a consistent approach to risk management.
- All credit decisions systematically include internal obligor risk ratings, as proposed by business lines and vetted by the Risk Division and approved by
concerned Credit Committee.
Changes in the quality of outstanding commitments are reviewed on a periodic basis and at least once a quarter, as part of the “sensitive names” and
provisioning procedures. This review is based on analyses performed by the business divisions and the risk function. Furthermore, the Internal Audit
also carries out file reviews or risk audits in the bank’s branch groups and reports its findings to the General Management.
Replacement risk
Replacement risk provides the measurement of the replacement cost of a transaction in the event of default by the original counterparty and the
necessity to close the ensuing position with counterparty; hence, the replacement cost is the result of the market price between the date on which the
original transaction is entered into and the default date. Transactions giving rise to replacement risk include interest rate swaps and forward FX deals.
The Bank places great emphasis on carefully monitoring its replacement risk exposure in order to minimize its losses in case of default of its
counterparties and counterparty limits are, therefore, assigned to all trading counterparties, irrespective of their status (bank, other financial
institution, corporate and public institutions).
- The internal ratings models used to measure and quantify counterparty risk.
- A set of procedures defining guidelines for devising and using ratings (scope, frequency of rating revision, procedure for approving ratings, etc.).
- Reliance on human judgment to improve modeling results to include elements outside the scope of rating model.
Credit risk rating is supported by a set of procedures ensuring reliable, consistent and timely default and loss data detection.
Rating models are reviewed and developed when necessary. The Bank regularly evaluates performance of credit rating models and their capacity to
predict default cases.
- Current Average Risk (CAR) is a calculation of the Average risk of all the future scenarios, excluding the negative scenarios, i.e., when the replacement
makes a gain.
- Credit value at risk (VAR) is a calculation of the largest loss that would be incurred in 99% of cases.

The Bank designs several policies and controls for credit risk mitigation such as collaterals for funds provided. The Bank lays down guidelines for
specific categories of the accepted collaterals.
The main types of collaterals for Loans and credit facilities to customers are:
The long term financing and lending for companies are often collaterized while credit facilities for persons are not collaterized. The Bank attempts to
mitigate the credit risk through additional collaterals from the concerned parties immediately on arising of impairment indicators for any of the loans or
facilities.
Collaterals taken to secure assets other than Loans and credit facilities are identified according to the nature of the instrument.
Derivatives
The Bank exercise prudential strict control procedures on net open positions of derivatives. i.e. the difference between sale and purchase agreements at
the level of value and duration. The amount exposed to credit risk at any time is determined at fair value of the instrument that may achieve benefit to
the bank. i.e. any assets with high positive fair value which represents insignificant part of contractual imputed value used to reflect the volume of
existing instruments. This credit risk is managed as part of overall lending limit granted to the customer together with the potential risk as a result of
market changes.
The Bank doesn’t obtain collaterals for credit risk related to such instruments except for the amounts requested by the bank as marginal deposits from
other parties.

The un-impaired financial asset is classified at initial recognition in the first stage and credit risk is monitored continuously by the Bank's credit risk
management.
In the case of a significant increase in credit risk since the initial recognition, the financial asset is transferred to the second stage and the financial
asset is not considered at this stage (the expected credit loss over the life of the asset without impairment).
In case of indications of impairment of the financial asset, it is transferred to the third stage. The Bank relies on the following indicators to determine
whether there is objective evidence of impairment:
- A significant increase in the rate of return on the financial asset as a result of increased credit risk.
- Significant negative changes in the activity and financial or economic conditions in which the borrower operates.
- Scheduling request as a result of difficulties facing the borrower.
- Significant negative changes in actual or expected operating results or cash flows.
- Future economic changes affecting the borrower's future cash flows.
- Early indicators of cash flow / liquidity problems such as delays in servicing creditors / business loans.
- Cancellation of a direct facility by the bank due to the high credit risk of the borrower.
The following table illustrates the proportional distribution of loans and credit facilities reported in the financial position for each of the four internal
ratings of the Bank and their relevant impairment losses:
In addition to the four categories of the bank's internal credit ratings indicated above, management classifies Loans and credit facilities based on more
detailed subgroups in accordance with the CBE requirements.
Assets exposed to credit risk in these categories are classified according to detailed rules and terms depending heavily on information relevant to the
customer, his activity, financial position and his repayment track record.
The Bank calculates the allowances required for impairment of assets exposed to credit risk, including commitments relating to credit on the basis of
rates determined by CBE. In case, the allowance required for impairment losses as per CBE credit worthiness rules exceeds the provisions as required by
the expected credit loss, that excess shall be debited from distributable net profits and carried to the general banking risk reserve in the equity section.
Such reserve is always adjusted, on a regular basis, by any increase or decrease so that the reserve shall always be equivalent to the amount of increase
between the two provisions. Such reserve is not available for distribution; note (35) shows the movement (if any) on the general banking risk reserve
during the financial period.
Below is a statement of credit rating for corporations as per the Bank's internal ratings compared with those of CBE's; it also includes the percentages of
provisions required for impairment of assets exposed to credit risk.

with the contractual terms. These include arrears for periods more than one day.
Amounts shown in the note represent the whole balance of the loan or facility and not only the past due amounts. These do not include the remaining loans
and credit facilities of the same customer so long default has not fully or partially occurred on those loans.
On initial recognition of loans and credit facilities, the fair value of collaterals, if any, is assessed based on valuation methods used for similar assets but are
not recognized in the financial statements since these do not represent assets of the bank at that date. In subsequent periods, the fair value is updated to

Restructured Loans and credit facilities:
The Bank applies different types of restructuring policies to its loans and credit facilities, which include extending payment terms, executing forced management
programmes and applying prepayment and extension provisions to the loan. The applied restructuring policies depend on factors or criteria that indicate, in management
judgment that the counterparty’s continuous payment of the loan is unlikely to occur in the absence of such restructuring policies that are subject to ongoing review. Within
the bank renegotiated outstanding loans relate to long-term loans made to any type of clientele (retail and corporate loans clients).
Total renegotiated loans amounted to EGP 2,791,009,153 at the end of the current reporting year against EGP 1,663,199,766 at the end of the prior year. These balances do
not include any amounts whose commercial terms were renegotiated to preserve the quality of the bank’s relationship with its clients, including those terms pertaining to
loans interest rates and/or loans repayment periods .
The Bank practice calls for most clients whose loans have been renegotiated to be maintained in the “non-performing” category, as long as the bank remains uncertain of
their ability to meet their future commitments in accordance with the definition of default under Basel II.

For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
Market risk is the risk of losses resulting from unfavorable changes in market parameters. It contains all trading book transactions as well as some
banking book portfolios valued using the mark-to-market approach. The bank's policy on market risk transactions is “Prudent” in that:
- Products subject to “market risk” which are offered by the Bank to its customers are restricted to cash and simple financial derivatives such as interest
rate swaps and foreign exchange swap and forward contracts.
- The only trading activity conducted by the Bank is over-night foreign exchange position, within a prudent limit that cannot be exceeded.
The front-office managers assume primary responsibility in terms of risk exposure; however, management lies with an independent structure being the
Market Risk Controller (MRC), within Risk Division. The main function of MRC is the ongoing analysis, independently from the trading rooms, of the
positions and risks linked to the market activities of the bank and the comparison of these positions to the allowed limits. The MRC carries out the
following functions:
- Daily and periodic analysis and reporting (independently from the front office) of the exposures, stress tests and risks incurred by the bank’s market
activities and comparison of said exposure and risks with the pre-set limits.
- Definition of the risk-measurement methods and control procedures, approval of the valuation methods used to calculate and monitor risks, including
those made on a gross or nominal basis.
- Reviewing new products or services from market risk aspect under New Product Committee to ensure that market risks are properly identified and
controlled.
At the proposal of this MRC and Head of Risk Division, the board sets the levels of authorized risk by type of market activity and makes the main
decisions concerning bank’s market risk management.
As a part of managing market risk, the Bank has several hedging strategies and enters into interest rate swaps to balance the risks inherent in debt
instruments and fixed rate long term loans, if the fair value option is applied. The Bank uses a lot of methods to control market risk such as stress testing
"ST".
Stress testing gives indicator of the loss volume expected that may arise from sharp adverse circumstances. Stress testing is designed to match business
using standard analysis for specific scenarios. The Bank sets a maximum limit of expected losses of 10% from authorized limit according to internal bank
rules.
The following table provides FX position (whether short or long) for all balance sheet items and off balance sheet items.

- Whenever possible, commercial operations are hedged against interest rate, either through micro-hedging (individual hedging of each commercial transaction) or
macro-hedging techniques (hedging of portfolios of similar commercial transactions within the treasury department).
- Consequently, structural interest rate risk only results from the residual positions remaining after hedging. The absence of interest rate derivative market in Egyptian
Pound makes it difficult to hedge positions in this currency.

The Bank's aim is to reduce exposure to structural interest rate risk as much as possible.
Any residual interest rate risk exposure must comply with the sensitivity limits approved by the ALCO. Sensitivity is defined as the variation in the net present value of
future residual fixed-rate positions for a 1% parallel increase in the yield curve. Adherence to applicable limits is closely monitored.
In order to quantify the Bank's exposure to structural interest rate risks, all fixed rate assets and liabilities on future maturities are analyzed to identify any gaps.
On a quarterly basis, assets and liabilities are analyzed independently, without any prior matching. Maturities on outstanding positions are determined on the basis of the
contractual terms of the transactions and models of historic client behavior (e.g. saving accounts) as well as conventional assumptions for some balance sheet items (e.g.
equity).
Once the gaps have been identified for each major currency, the sensitivity is calculated as the variation of the net present value of the fixed rate position of an
instantaneous parallel shift of the 1% in the yield curve of each major currency. The cumulative sensitivity for all currencies as well as for any single currency should not
exceed the above mentioned limit.
The following table summarizes the extent to which the bank is exposed to the risks of fluctuations in the interest rate including the carrying amount of the financial
instruments distributed on the basis of the rate prevailing in re-pricing dates or maturity dates, whichever is earlier.

(D) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities and sources of fair value
(D/1) Financial instruments measured at fair value
Financial assets classified as trading financial assets at fair value with changes in fair value are measured in the statement of income under 'Net trading
income'.
Debt instruments classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in the other comprehensive income statement under "fair value reserve".
For investments in equity instruments, equity securities listed on the stock exchange are measured at fair value in accordance with quoted market prices
on the date of the separate financial statements.
For non-listed shares, except for strategic investments, they are evaluated in one of the accepted techniques: discounted cash flow method multiples of
value "and the inclusion of the valuation differences in other comprehensive income within the" fair value reserve "; for strategic investments, the cost or
nominal value is the fair value of those investments.
The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities at fair value in the separate financial statements within the fair value hierarchy, based on the
levels of inputs that are essential for measuring the fair value as a whole:
Level 1:
The first level inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Bank can access on the measurement date.
Level 2:
The inputs of the second level are all inputs other than quoted prices within the first level and these inputs are observable for the asset or liability, directly
or indirectly.
Level 3:
The third level inputs are the unobservable inputs of the asset or liability.

- Protecting the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern and enabling it to generate yield for shareholders and other parties dealing with the Bank.
- Capital adequacy and uses are reviewed by the bank’s management in accordance with the requirements of the regulatory authority represented by the
Central Bank of Egypt (CBE). Data is submitted and filed with the CBE on a quarterly basis. The CBE requires the Bank to comply with the following:
- Maintaining EGP 5 Billion as a minimum requirement for the issued and paid-up capital. The Bank's paid-up capital amounted to EGP 10,774,114,830 at the
end of the current year.
- Maintaining a minimum level of capital adequacy ratio of 10%, calculated as the ratio between total value of the capital elements, and the risk-weighted
average of the bank’s assets and contingent liabilities. Minimum level of capital adequacy ratio reached 12.50 % during current year, The Bank's capital
adequacy ratio reached 25.09% at the end of the current year (December 31, 2022: 21.79%) according to Basel II.

The numerator in the capital adequacy ratio according to Basel II comprise the following 2 tiers:
- Tier 1: basic capital which comprises paid-up capital (net of treasury stock), plus: retained earnings and reserves resulting from profit appropriations (other than general reserve for banking risks &
special reserve), less: any goodwill previously recognized and any carried forward losses, plus: the carrying amount of other comprehensve income.
- The interim net profit was incorporated in Tier 1 capital in accordance with the decision of Central Bank of Egypt Board of Directors held on 15 February 2017.
- Tier 2: subordinated capital which comprises with equivalent amount of the loans provision for debt instrument / Loans and credit facilities at stage 1 which does not exceed 1.25% from the total
risk-weighted average of assets and contingent liabilities, plus: the carrying amount of subordinated loans/deposits maturing over more than 5 years (provided that such carrying amount shall be
reduced by 20 % of its value in each of the last five years of their maturity), in addition to 45% from increase in fair value above the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries and associates
and 45% from special reserve.
In calculating the numerator of the capital adequacy ratio, total value of Tier 2 should not exceed total value of Tier 1. Also, total value of subordinated loans (deposits) should not exceed 50 % of
Tier 1.
Assets are risk weighted at a range of 0 to 200%. Risk classification of these assets is based on the type of the debtor as to reflect the associated credit risk and after consideration of cash collaterals.
The same treatment is applied for the off-balance sheet items which shall be adjusted to reflect the contingent nature of and potential loss on these amounts.
Capital adequacy Standard had been prepared based on Basel II requirements, and Central Bank of Egypt Board of Directors had approved in its meeting held on December 18, 2012, which had been
issued on December 24, 2012 and in accordance with the instructions of the Central Bank of Egypt for the capital adequacy ratio (Basel II) issued during May 2019, And CBE instructions issued in
January 2021 regarding the adoption of Standardized Approach for mearuting operational risk starting from year 2022 to replace Basic Indicator Approach.

Notes to the Separate Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 31 December 2023 (All amounts are shown in Egyptian Pounds)
In the application of the bank's accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which
the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and
future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting Period that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial Period.
The Bank reviews its Loans and credit facilities portfolio, at least, on a quarterly basis. Management uses its discretionary judgment in determining
whether it is necessary to recognize impairment loss in the income statement. This requires it to identify any reliable evidence indicating measurable
decline in the expected future cash flows from loan portfolio before identifying any decline for each individual loan.
This evidence includes data indicating negative change in the ability of a portfolio of borrowers to repay the bank, or local and economic circumstances
related to default. On scheduling future cash flows, the management use estimates based on previous experience related to impairment of assets having
similar credit risks. Such experience refers to impairment similar to that of the portfolio in question. The methods and assumptions used in estimating
both the amount and timing of the future cash flows are reviewed on a regular basis to minimize any discrepancy between the estimated loss and actual
loss based on management given experience.
Fair value of derivative financial instruments not quoted in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. When these techniques (such as
the pricing models) are used to determine fair value, periodic tests and review are performed on them using competent independent personnel other than
those responsible for the preparation of such techniques. All such models have been approved and tested prior to use to ensure that their results reflect
reliable data and prices that can be compared to the market. These models use market observable data only to the extent it is practical to obtain such
data, however, some areas such as credit risk related to the bank and counterparties, volatility and correlations requires management judgement.
Changes in assumptions about these factors can affect the fair value of the financial instrument's disclosure.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and maturity dates are classified as debt instruments at amortized cost "within the
business model of financial assets held to collect contractual cash flows".
If classification of investments as amortized cost – other than stakes required to be retained by the Bank in accordance with the provisions of the law –
were suspended by the bank, the carrying amount of the outstanding amortized cost investements at the end of the current reporting year would have
decreased by EGP 7,738,515,020 to reach the fair value with a corresponding decrease in the fair value through other comprehensive income.

Forward exchange contracts represent commitments to purchase local and foreign currencies including the unexecuted part of regular-way transactions. Interest rate swap
contracts represent commitments to swap fixed interest rate with variable interest rate where the physical exchange of funds is not required except in foreign exchange swaps. The
Bank’s credit risk represents the cost of potential replacement of the swaps in case other parties fail to meet their obligations. This risk is controlled on an ongoing basis in terms of
fair value and percentage of contracted amounts. To control the outstanding credit risk, the Bank assesses counterparties to the contract in the same manner used in lending
activities.
- Fair value hedge
The Bank uses interest rate swap contracts to mitigate part of the risk of potential increase in fair value of its fixed rate customer deposits in foreign currencies to the extent caused
by declining market interest rates.
Net fair value of hedging instruments (Interest rate swap) liability amounted to EGP 2,341,709 as of December 31, 2023 (Liability EGP 22,954,635 in the prior year). Gain resulting
