Cash and Cash Equivalents
8) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, consolidated cash and cash equivalents consisted of:

 

            2017      2016  

Cash and bank accounts

      Ps        9,292        9,104  

Fixed-income securities and other cash equivalents

         4,449        2,512  
     

 

 

     

 

 

  
     Ps        13,741        11,616  
     

 

 

     

 

 

  

Based on net settlement agreements, the balance of cash and cash equivalents excludes deposits in margin accounts that guarantee several obligations of CEMEX of Ps196 in 2017 and Ps250 in 2016, which were offset against the corresponding obligations of CEMEX with the counterparties, considering CEMEX’s right, ability and intention to settle the amounts on a net basis.
