government entities are not included in the balance sheet. Such assets are controlled in separate
financial statements and presented in the memorandum accounts of COFIDE.
(s)
Foreign currency
COFIDE’s functional currency is the Peruvian Nuevo Sol (S/.). Transactions in currencies other
than the functional currency are deemed to be in foreign currency, and are recognized at the
rates of exchange prevailing at the date of transactions. At the end of each reporting period, the
balances of monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates
prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Non-monetary items which are recognized at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated
using rates of exchange prevailing at the date of transactions.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in
which they arise, except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable
to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the
foreseeable future (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which
are recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss in the
period of repayment of the monetary items.
