The tool streamlines guarantee market interest rate estimation through a detailed yet materially automated process. It offers a straightforward way to calculate guarantee market interest rates, leveraging your inputs with pre-prepared models and data from CFO.tools:

  • User inputs cover borrower data (e.g., sector of activity, credit rating) and instrument details (e.g., amounts, tenure). If you’re missing information like a credit rating, our team can assist with complementary analyses.
  • CFO.tools’ statistical models automatically assess a market interest rate range under the two main approaches used in practice (yield approach and cost approach), factoring in key loan terms. These models are built on historical market data, including government yields and corporate bonds, detailed by sector, rating and other key terms.
  • The Yield Approach relies on automated models with credit spreads and applicable yield curve rates for all major currencies.
  • The Cost Approach utilizes assessments of Expected Credit Losses, similar to the General Approach of IFRS 9.
  • The tool is designed in compliance with OECD Transfer Pricing Guidance on Financial Transactions.

The methodology and the approach of the tool have been consulted with IFRS experts from a leading audit firm.
