Note(s): This table presents the results of the determinants of EFA FVTOCI classification choice before and after IFRS 9. The dependent variable FVTOCI is a binary variable that equals one if the firm classifies any of its EFA at FVTOCI, and zero otherwise. Panel A shows the results in non-financial firms and Panel B is the results in financial firms. Columns (1)–(4) examine different determinants on samples of pre- and post-IFRS 9, respectively. Column (5) examines the determinants model on a sub-sample of the initial IFRS 9 adoption year. All z-score (in parentheses) are based on standard errors clustered by firm. All continuous variables are winsorised at the top and bottom one percentile. See  Appendix 2 for detailed variable definitions. Two-tailed tests of significance:

*** = <0.01,

** = <0.05 and

* = <0.1
