(*) Including term deposits, interest earning accounts and certificates of deposit.
The investment vehicles used by the Group are money market UCITS, interest earning accounts, term deposits and negotiable debt securities (certificates of deposit generally with a maturity of less than three months). They are measured and recognised at their fair value. Net cash is managed with limited risk to capital. The performance and the risks associated with these investments of net cash are monitored regularly through a report detailing the yield of the various assets and analysing the associated level of risk.
At 31 December 2023, net cash managed by VINCI SA amounted to €5.4 billion, arising mainly from the cash surpluses transferred upwards from French subsidiaries through a cash pooling system. VINCI Finance International, a wholly owned subsidiary of VINCI that centralises the cash surpluses of foreign subsidiaries, managed investments and cash of €1.7 billion at 31 December 2023. This centralisation enables the management of financial resources to be optimised at Group level and the risks relating to the counterparties and investment vehicles used to be better managed.
Other subsidiaries whose cash is not centralised must comply with the guidelines and instructions issued by VINCI, which define the investment vehicles and the counterparties authorised. The investments amounted to around €6.0 billion at 31 December 2023, comprising €1.7 billion for Concessions, €0.6 billion for VINCI Energies, €1.4 billion for Cobra IS and €2.2 billion for VINCI Construction.
