CREDIT RISK<br />
The granting of facilities and lending creates the risk that the counterparty will not fulfil its obligations, leading<br />
to a financial loss for the <strong>Bank</strong>. The <strong>Bank</strong>’s policy is geared towards limiting the credit risk by:<br />
lending to debtors who are active in sectors that the <strong>Bank</strong> is familiar with;<br />
establishing sufficient collateral to cover the outstanding loans;<br />
periodically evaluating the creditworthiness of the debtors and the market value of the collateral;<br />
investing surplus of liquidity in deposits or interest-bearing securities of banks, governments and other<br />
counterparties with undisputed creditworthiness.<br />
