18. Financial Liabilities
18.1 Long-term Debt
Delhaize Group manages its debt and overall financing strategies using a combination of short, medium and long-term debt and
interest rate and currency swaps. The Group finances its daily working capital requirements, when necessary, through the use of
its various committed and uncommitted lines of credit. The short and medium-term borrowing arrangements generally bear
interest at the inter-bank offering rate at the borrowing date plus a pre-set margin. Delhaize Group also has a treasury notes
program available.
The carrying values of long-term debt (excluding finance leases, see Note 18.3), net of discounts and premiums, deferred
transaction costs and hedge accounting fair value adjustments were as follows:
