9.1.9 Fair value of borrowings and debt

The fair value of fixed-rate debt is determined for each loan by discounting future cash flows, based on bond yield curves at the balance sheet date, after allowing for the spread corresponding to the Group’s risk rating.

The net carrying amount of outstanding bank loans and other floating-rate loans is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

The fair value of borrowings and debt excluding IFRS 16 amounted to €6,568.4 million at 31 December 2024, compared with €6,838.1 million at 31 December 2023 and €4,030.3 million at 31 December 2022.
