19.2.1 Liquidity risk<br />
<strong>Italcementi</strong> S.p.A. cash and cash equivalents at December 31, <strong>2011</strong> were immaterial.<br />
The company’s objective is to maintain a debt level able to ensure a balance between average debt maturity,<br />
flexibility and diversification of sources. Consequently, it arranges confirmed lines of credit and diversified<br />
sources of finance. Distribution of loan maturities is balanced, and will enable the company to refinance its<br />
borrowings as they fall due in a satisfactory manner, despite the difficult economic scenario.<br />
The company’s policy is designed to ensure that at any time debt maturing in under two years is less than or<br />
equal to undrawn confirmed lines of credit.<br />
As from 2010, under its financial policy review, <strong>Italcementi</strong> S.p.A. is a recipient of the fund-raising activities of<br />
<strong>Italcementi</strong> Finance, enabling it to improve its access to credit and benefit from the synergies of a centralized<br />
financial policy. The policy aims to obtain loans at competitive conditions and to ensure a balance between<br />
average debt maturity, flexibility and diversification of sources. Consequently, <strong>Italcementi</strong> S.p.A. obtains<br />
refinancing from <strong>Italcementi</strong> Finance through short- and long-term intercompany loans, arranged at arm’s<br />
length conditions.<br />
