25.3 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
 
Accounting policies for financial instruments have been applied to classify as either: loans and receivables, held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or fair value through profit and loss. For financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value, IFRS 13 requires a disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
 
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
 
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
 
This note provides an update on the judgements and estimates made by the Group in determining the fair values of the financial instruments since the last annual financial report.
 
25.3.1 Fair value hierarchy
 
The following table presents the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities measured and recognized at fair value at 31 December 2018 and 2017 on a recurring basis:

There were no transfers between Level 2 and 3 during the period.
 
The Group did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as at 31 December 2018.
 
25.3.2 Valuation techniques used to determine fair values
 
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
 
 
The use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
 
The mark-to-market fair value of the Group's outstanding derivative instruments is based on independently provided market rates and determined using standard valuation techniques, including the impact of counterparty credit risk and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The fair value of the remaining financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis. All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 2.
 
25.3.3 Fair values of other financial instruments (unrecognized)
 
The Group also has a number of financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet. For the majority of these instruments, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature.
 
Borrowings are comprised primarily of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt with a short-term portion where interest has already been fixed. They are classified under other financial liabilities and measured at their amortized cost.
 
The fair value of these financial instruments at 31 December 2018 amounts to US$ 445,582,00
0
 
(
US$ 425,118,000 in 2017). The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using a rate based on the borrowing rate of 6.94% (
6.90
% in 2017) and are within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
