Fair value hierarchy

NZ IFRS 7 requires that the classification of financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss be determined by reference to the source of inputs used to derive the fair value. This classification uses the following three-level 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 (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices)
  • Level 3 — inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The fair value of the financial instruments as well as methods used to estimate the fair values are summarised in the following table:
