The main elements of current borrowings are the current portion of long-term borrowings that is due to be repaid in the next 12 months of $7,175 million (2017 $6,849 million) and issued commercial paper of $2,040 million (2017 $744 million). Finance debt does not include accrued interest, which is reported within other payables.
The following table shows the weighted average interest rates achieved through a combination of borrowings and derivative financial instruments entered into to manage interest rate and currency exposures.

Fair values
The estimated fair value of finance debt is shown in the table below together with the carrying amount as reflected in the balance sheet.
Long-term borrowings in the table below include the portion of debt that matures in the 12 months from 31 December 2018, whereas in the group balance sheet the amount is reported within current finance debt.
The carrying amount of the group’s short-term borrowings, comprising mainly of commercial paper, approximates their fair value. The fair values of the majority of the group’s long-term borrowings are determined using quoted prices in active markets, and so fall within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Where quoted prices are not available, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets are used and such measurements are therefore categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the group’s finance lease obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the group’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types and maturities of borrowing and are consequently categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
