9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS<br />

As part of its asset and liability management, the company uses derivatives for hedging purposes in order to<br />

reduce its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risks. This is done by engaging in interest rate swaps<br />

and currency swaps.<br />

<strong>In</strong>terest rate swaps relate to contracts taken out by the company with other financial institutions in which the<br />

company either receives or pays a floating rate interest in return for paying or receiving, a fixed rate of interest.<br />

The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to<br />

the other. <strong>In</strong> a currency swap, the company pays a specified amount in one currency and receives a specified<br />

amount in another currency. Currency swaps are mostly gross- settled.<br />
