The effective portions of the hedges are recorded in the same item of the financial statement as the underlying hedged elements. (1) The ineffective portions of foreign exchange hedges come mainly from forward points on forward exchange operations and foreign currency swaps, which the Group excludes (2) from hedging relationships and from the foreign exchange gains and losses on the reduction of overhedges. Forward points related to the hedges of financial exposures are recorded in “Net interest expense”. The forward points related to the hedges of commercial exposures as well as the foreign exchange result on the reduction of these hedges are recorded in “Foreign exchange gain / (loss)”. The impact of the hedges of future cash flows is represented by the gains/(losses) before taxes on the fair value of instruments hedging such cash flows and is recorded in net equity. At December 31, 2019 the impact was nil.
