As a result of the adoption of IFRS 16 ‘Leases’, leases that were previously classified as finance leases under IAS 17 are now presented as ‘Lease liabilities’ on the group balance sheet and therefore do not form part of finance debt. Comparative information for finance debt has been amended to be on a consistent basis with amounts presented for 2019. See Note 1 and Note 27 for further information.
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 $8,166 million (2018 $7,175 million) and issued commercial paper of $2,279 million (2018 $2,040 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.

Comparative information in the table above has been amended to exclude previously classified finance lease liabilities of $667 million from US dollar and other currencies, primarily from fixed-rate debt. The calculation of the comparative weighted-average interest rate and time for which rate is fixed is unchanged for US dollar fixed-rate debt and was previously 7% and 18 years respectively for other currencies fixed-rate debt.
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 2019, 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 significant 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.
