At-sight balances due from banks bear interest at daily rates or are invested in interest-bearing short-term money-market deposits for between one day and three months, depending upon the liquidity requirements of VP Bank Group. Interest rates are based upon equivalent market rates. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents amounts to CHF 3,205.4 million (2019: CHF 3,565.9 million).

 

  1. Short-term money-market deposits have an original maturity of a maximum of three months. In 2019, money market paper with a total term of over 90 days was erroneously added to the cash and cash equivalents. The previous year's figures have therefore been corrected accordingly.
  2. The disclosure of foreign-currency effects was checked and refined. The foreign-currency influences on items in the cash and cash equivalents are determined and reported, and the currency differences from changes in the balance sheet are adjusted accordingly. The incorrect figures from the previous year have been corrected accordingly.
  3. Thereof 1) 4,225 and 2) -10,641.
  4. Thereof 1) -3,228 and 2) 9,746.
