Note 21 Marketable securities

EDF has changed the presentation of the marketable securities table for greater clarity. This change, which is applied retrospectively to the comparative figures for 2019, involves grouping bonds in foreign currencies (€1,919 million at 31 December 2020 and €2,687 million at 31 December 2019) and bonds in euros into a single line,“Bonds”, for both years presented. In 2019, bonds in foreign currencies were presented in the line “Accrued interest and other marketable securities”.

(1) The increase in Investment funds is principally explained by the short-term investment of some of the funds generated by the green bond issue (OCEANEs Vertes) until they are used in renewable energy investments (see note 2.4.1).

(2) The decrease in negotiable debt instruments and bonds is explained by the aim of reducing the credit risk and increasing liquid assets (sight deposits, investment funds) to cope with the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As of 2018, the cash positions of all subsidiaries in the cash flow statement are classified by reference to criteria of autonomy.

An entity is considered non-autonomous when it is a holding company, generates the majority of its sales with EDF group entities, or does not have the status of employer.

The main subsidiaries classified as non-autonomous are C2, C3, EDF Holding and EDFInternational, and the main subsidiaries classified as autonomous are Enedis, PEI, Sofilo and GGF.

In the cash flow statement, the cash positions of autonomous subsidiaries are presented as a deduction from “Cash and cash equivalents”. The cash positions of non-autonomous subsidiaries are included in the components of the changes in working capital.
