AFD - Universal Registration Document 2020

Methodology and glossary

Figures

Scope Except for the table in section 1.6.3 which presents all of the activities carried out by AFD on its own behalf and on behalf of third parties, all other data included in this document covers the same scope as that used to prepare financial statements established according to international accounting standards - in other words, only activities on AFD’s own behalf.

Due to rounding, the tables’ column totals may differ slightly from the sum of the lines composing them. The abbreviation €K signifies thousands of euros, €M signifies millions of euros and €bn signifies billions of euros. Commitments are presented net of cancellations during the year. For loans and grants, data in foreign currencies have been converted into euros for payments at the end of the month of disbursement, using the exchange rate at the date when the commitment was approved and the closing price (31 December) for outstandings. For borrowings, the year’s issues were converted to the closing exchange rate.
