Dimensions

Dimension	Member	Description
BalanceTypeDimension	(FairValueAbsolute)	This dimension identifies the measurement approach used to calculate this amount. The value reported is the aggregate absolute amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. The fair value should be able to be determined through observation of similar transactions, quoted market prices, independent valuations or if there is no readily observable market, through the ability to liquidate the item or through assessing the net present value of future cash flows.
ContractTypeDimension	(OtherContracts)	This dimension categorises the reported data according to the underlying contract associated with a type of financial risk. The information reported is in relation to all other derivative financial instruments not categorised elsewhere, consistent with the classification and measurement basis used for derivatives by institutions in accordance with accounting standards.
DerivativeTypeDimension	(CreditDerivatives)	This dimension identifies what the derivative entitles you to do or obliges you to provide. A credit derivative enables the user to transfer the credit risk of an underlying asset from one party, the protection buyer, to another, the protection seller, in isolation from other risks.
InvestmentChannelDimension	(NotRecognisedExchange)	This dimension categorises the reported data according to the channel or medium through which investments are made. These are investments that are not made through a recognised exchange for the products being transacted. These are typically referred to as "Unlisted" or "Over The Counter (OTC)" investments.
TransactionPositionDimension	(BoughtOrPurchased)	This dimension relates to which position of a financial transaction the reporting entity has entered into. This information relates to when the reporting entity has either bought or purchased a financial transaction.
