The liquidity requirements resulting from the Bank’s demand deposits from customers is satisfied by the Bank’s liquid assets as follows:

(in millions of USD dollars) June 30,<br> <br> 2021 December 31, <br> 2020
Total liquid assets 999 1,048
% Total assets to total liabilities 29.86 % 33.40%
% Total liquid assets in the Federal Reserve of the United<br> States of America 69.17 % 65.68%

Even though the average term of the Bank's assets exceeds the average term of its liabilities, the associated liquidity risk is diminished by the short-term nature of a significant portion of the loan portfolio, since the Bank is primarily engaged in financing foreign trade.

The following table includes the carrying amount for the Bank’s loans and securities short-term portfolio with maturity within one year based on their original contractual term together with its average remaining term:

ii.       Interest rate risk (continued)

Following is an analysis of the Bank’s sensitivity to the most likely increase or decrease in market interest rates at the reporting date, assuming no asymmetrical movements in yield curves and a constant financial position:

Change in<br> <br>interest rate Effect on<br> <br>profit or loss ****<br><br>Effect on<br> <br>equity
June<br> 30, 2021 +50<br> bps 2,682 7,399
-50 bps (2,308 ) (10,022 )
December<br> 31, 2020 +50 bps 1,182 16,618
-50 bps (5,161 ) 107

Interest rate movements affect reported equity in the following ways:

- Retained earnings: increases or decreases<br> in net interest income and in fair values of derivatives reported in profit or loss;
- Fair value reserve: increases or decreases<br> in fair values of financial assets at FVOCI reported directly in equity; and
--- ---
- Hedging reserve: increases or decreases in<br> fair values of hedging instruments designated in qualifying cash flow hedge relationships.
--- ---

This sensitivity provides a consideration of changes in interest rates, considering last period interest rate volatility.

iii.        Foreign exchange risk

The following table presents the maximum exposure amount in foreign currency of the Bank’s carrying amount of total assets and liabilities, excluding derivative financial assets and liabilities, based on their fair value.

^(1)^ The fair value of the instrument includes interest receivable.

For financial instruments measured at fair value in level 3 category, the Bank uses the following methodologies and inputs using present value techniques.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss - Level 3

In 2020, the Bank realized the sale of the debt instrument measured at fair value through profit or loss for $5.8 million. As a result, the Bank recognized a loan and classified it at fair value through profit or loss with a carrying amount of $5.1 million and $4.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Inputs used in the fair value measurement are detailed as follows:

Observable inputs Unobservable inputs
-<br> Forward interest rate referenced to 12M USD Libor -<br> Discount rate or discount margin of floating rate bond "USD US composite B+" with credit risk similar to the instrument<br> analyzed adjusted by the country risk premium.
Fair value measurement<br> sensitivity to unobservable inputs – discount rate 2021 2020
--- --- ---
A significant increase in volatility would result in a lower<br> fair value 6.430%<br> - 7.42% 3.128%<br> to 8.89%

4. Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
C. Level 3 - Fair value measurement (continued)
--- ---

Management used market data published in Bloomberg for the construction of the discount curve, which allows for a more accurate measurement of the instrument.

Although the Bank believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different fair value measurements. For fair value measurements in level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions used would have the following effects.

Loans at fair value through profit or loss Effect<br> on profit or loss
