Foreign Exchange Risk is the risk that the <strong>Bank</strong> is exposed to due to changes in exchange rates. Limits are used to<br />

monitor exposure in individual currencies and also on an overall basis to ensure compliance with the SBP’s Foreign<br />

Exchange Exposure Limit.<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong>'s reporting currency is the Pakistan Rupee, but its assets, liabilities, income and expenses are<br />

denominated in different currencies. From time to time, the Treasury and Capital Markets Group proactively hedges<br />

foreign currency exposures, in accordance with SBP regulations and subject to pre-defined limits.<br />

sheet items exposure<br />

----------------------------- (Rupees in '000) -----------------------------<br />

The <strong>Bank</strong> is an active participant in the cash and derivatives markets for currencies and carries currency risk from<br />

these trading activities, conducted primarily by the Treasury and Capital Markets Group. These trading exposures<br />

are subject to monitoring through prescribed stress tests and sensitivity analysis.<br />

Equity position risk arises due to changes in the prices of individual stocks or levels of equity indices. The <strong>Bank</strong>’s<br />

equity book comprises of held for trading (HFT) and available for sale (AFS) portfolios. The objective of the HFT<br />

portfolio is to make short-term capital gains, whilst the AFS portfolio is maintained with a medium-term view of both<br />

capital gains and dividend income. Product program manuals have been developed to provide guidelines on the<br />

objectives and policies, risks and mitigants, limits and controls for the equity portfolios of the <strong>Bank</strong>.<br />
