Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient funds to settle financial liabilities as and when they fall due. This includes having<br />
insufficient levels of committed credit facilities. The Group’s objective is to maintain efficient use of cash and debt facilities in<br />
order to balance the cost of borrowing and while ensuring sufficient availability of credit facilities, to meet forecast. The Group<br />
adopts a prudent approach to cash management which ensures sufficient levels of cash are maintained to meet working<br />
capital requirements. Liquidity is reviewed continually by the Group’s treasury departments through daily cash monitoring,<br />
review of available credit facilities and forecasting and matching of cash flows.<br />
