In addition, nonmonetary assets retain a higher historical basis when the currency is devalued. The higher historical basis results in incremental expense being recognized when the nonmonetary assets are consumed. In 2022, we recognized $41.7 million in pretax charges related to highly inflationary accounting, including currency remeasurement losses of $37.6 million.

The hypothetical foreign currency effects above detail the consolidated effect attributable to Brink’s of a simultaneous change in the value of a large number of foreign currencies relative to the U. S. dollar. The foreign currency exposure effect related to a change in an individual currency could be significantly different. 59

Our floating rate debt typically is based on an underlying floating rate component as well as a fixed rate margin component. Based on the contractual interest rates on our floating rate debt at December 31, 2024, a hypothetical 10% increase in rates would increase cash outflows by approximately $6.4 million over a twelve-month period.
Our floating rate debt typically is based on an underlying floating rate component as well as a fixed rate margin component. Based on the contractual interest rates on our floating rate debt at December 31, 2025, a hypothetical 10% increase in rates would increase cash outflows by approximately $7.7 million over a twelve-month period.
At December 31, 2024, the notional value of our shorter outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $1,158 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the Mexican peso, and the British pound.
At December 31, 2025, the notional value of our shorter outstanding foreign currency forward and swap contracts was $982 million with average contract maturities of approximately one month. These contracts primarily offset exposures in the euro, the Mexican peso, and the British pound.
The effect on the fair values of our cumulative $1.4 billion of unsecured senior notes of a hypothetical 10% decrease in the yield curve from year-end 2024 levels would result in a $37.7 million increase in the fair value of our unsecured senior notes.
The effect on the fair values of our cumulative $1.4 billion of unsecured senior notes of a hypothetical 10% decrease in the yield curve from year-end 2025 levels would result in a $27.5 million increase in the fair value of our unsecured senior notes.
At December 31, 2024, the notional value of these cross currency swaps contracts was $400 million with a weighted-average remaining maturity of 1.1 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in May 2026 and a remaining weighted average maturity of 5.3 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in April 2031.
At December 31, 2025, the notional value of these cross currency swaps contracts was $400 million with a weighted-average remaining maturity of 0.3 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in May 2026 and a remaining weighted average maturity of 4.8 years for the cross currency swaps maturing in April 2031.
In other words, the weighted-average interest rate on our floating rate instruments (including any fixed rate margin component) was 6.14% per annum at December 31, 2024. If the underlying floating rate component were to increase by 10%, our average rate on this debt would increase by 0.50 percentage points to 6.64%.
In other words, the weighted-average interest rate on our floating rate instruments (including any fixed rate margin component) was 4.81% per annum at December 31, 2025. If the underlying floating rate component were to increase by 10%, our average rate on this debt would increase by 0.37 percentage points to 5.18%.
