18.3 Financial liabilities
Accounting principles and methods

Loans and other financial liabilities are carried at amortised cost, adjusted for changes in the value of the risks hedged when they are covered by a fair value hedge (see note 18.7). Interest expenses are calculated at the effective interest rate and recorded in the income statement in “Cost of gross financial indebtedness” over the duration of the loan or financial liability.

18.3.1 Breakdown between current and non-current financial liabilities

Current and non-current financial liabilities break down as follows:

  31/12/2021 31/12/2020
(in millions of euros Non-current Current Total Non-current Current Total
Loans and other financial liabilities 54,334 15,072 69,406 54,066 11,525 65,591
Trading derivatives – negative fair value* - 22,027 22,027 - 5,125 5,125
Hedging derivatives – negative fair value* 2,209 7,915 10,124 1,833 959 2,792
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 56,543 45,014 101,557 55,899 17,609 73,508

*See note 18.7.

The increase in the negative fair value of trading derivatives (+€16.9 billion) is explained by the increase in the value of derivatives used in the trading activity, principally associated with the changes in commodity market prices observed in 2021, and to a lesser extent the increase in volumes contracted.
