Business Environment and Company Outlook Demand for our services tends to be correlated to general levels of economic activity and to consumer credit activity, small commercial credit and marketing activity.
Demand is also enhanced by our initiatives to expand our products, capabilities, and markets served.
In the United States we expect 2018 economic activity, as measured by GDP, to be about flat with levels seen in the second half of 2017.
We expect modest growth in consumer credit, excluding mortgage, over the course of 2018.
U. S.  Mortgage market originations are expected to be down for the full year of 2018 versus 2017.
We anticipate 2018 economic activity, as measured by GDP, in Canada and Australia to be at or slightly below the levels seen in the second half of 2017.
In the European markets we serve, the U. K.  and Spain, we are expecting 2018 economic activity, as measured by GDP, to be at or slightly below the levels in calendar year 2017.
In Argentina and Chile, our two largest markets in our Latin American Region, we are expecting 2018 economic activity, again as measured by GDP, to increase from the levels in calendar year 2017.
The cybersecurity incident announced in the third quarter of 2017 is expected to negatively impact revenue, principally in our U. S.  businesses, and to a lesser extent in Canada and the U. K. , in 2018.
We will also incur, in 2018, legal, consulting and other costs related to the analysis and response to the cybersecurity incident.
In 2018, we will incur costs and capital expenditures for providing the free TrustedID credit file monitoring and identity theft protection, and free Lock & AlertTM, to U. S.  consumers, as well as services to U. K.  and Canadian consumers.
Additionally, in 2018 and beyond, we will incur increased information technology and security costs and capital expenditures related to actions to improve information technology security and network resilience globally.
In 2018 and beyond, we will have increases in the ongoing run-rate of IT and security spending.
We also expect to incur increased expenses for insurance, finance, compliance activities, and to meet increased legal and regulatory requirements.
We also expect to incur increased costs to provide free services to consumers, including increased customer support costs.
The ultimate amount of these increases is yet to be determined but we expect them to be significant.
As a result of the cybersecurity incident, we are subject to a significant number of proceedings and investigations as described in Part I, "Item 3.
Legal Proceedings. "
While we believe it is reasonably possible that we will incur losses associated

REPUBLIC SERVICES, INC.  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued) 16.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fuel Hedges We have entered into multiple swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate some of our exposure related to changes in diesel fuel prices.
These swaps qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of forecasted diesel fuel purchases (fuel hedges).
The following table summarizes our outstanding fuel hedges as of December 31, 2015:
## Table 2 ##
If the national U. S.  on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the Department of Energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty.
If the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty.
The fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy).
The aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 were current liabilities of $37.8 million and $34.4 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
The ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income.
Total (loss) gain recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $(2.0) million, $(24.2) million and $2.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Recycling Commodity Hedges Revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard and old newspaper.
From time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities.
We had no outstanding recycling commodity hedges as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.
No amounts were recognized in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income for the ineffective portion of the changes in fair values during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for recycling commodity hedges (the effective portion) was $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
No amount was recognized in other comprehensive income for 2015.
Fair Value Measurements In measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (Level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (Level 3).
We also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate.
