These models are based on methods widely used in the financialcommunity, are subject to a internal approval procedure and are regularlyreviewed by Risk Management.5.b DERIVATIVES USED FOR HEDGING PURPOSESThe table below shows the fair values of derivatives used for hedging purposes.The uncertainty inherent to the use of these models is quantified throughanalyses of sensitivities to non-observable parameters as well as throughcomparison with valuations resulting from alternative models. Given thisuncertainty, the Group uses reserves to adjust the carrying amount ofthe instruments concerned.Day one profit is calculated net of these reserves, and is taken to theprofit and loss account over the period during which the valuationparameters are expected to remain unobservable (note 1.c.9). Theunamortised amount is included in the balance sheet as a reduction inthe fair value of these complex transactions.At 31 December 2007, the sensitivity of the values resulting fromreasonable alternative assumptions likely to be used to quantify theparameters used can be estimated at approximately EUR 270 million.31 December 2007 31 December 2006In millions of euros Negative fair value Positive fair value Negative fair value Positive fair valueDERIVATIVES USED AS FAIR VALUE HEDGES OF NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCurrency derivatives - 22 4 1Interest rate derivatives 655 1,487 771 2,134Other derivatives 14 43 7 8FAIR VALUE HEDGES 669 1,552 782 2,143DERIVATIVES USED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES OF NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSCurrency derivatives 162 173 86 243Interest rate derivatives 418 428 463 416Other derivatives 2 - - 1CASH FLOW HEDGES 582 601 549 660DERIVATIVES USED AS NET FOREIGN INVESTMENT HEDGESCurrency derivatives 10 1 4 -NET INVESTMENT HEDGES 10 1 4 -DERIVATIVES USED FOR HEDGINGPURPOSES 1,261 2,154 1,335 2,8033456789The total notional amount of derivatives used for hedging purposesstood at EUR 371,339 million at 31 December 2007, compared withEUR 328,354 million at 31 December 2006.Derivatives used for hedging purposes are primarily contracted on overthe-countermarkets and are measured using models based on observableparameters.10112007 Registration document - BNP PARIBAS 155
