The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptableparameters, while optimizing the return.36.3.1 Currency riskForeign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate, due to changes in foreign exchangerates. Group as at the reporting date, do not hold significant ‘Financial instruments’ denominated in currencies other than its functional / reportingcurrency, hence do not get significantly exposed to currency risk arising from translation of such balances in to the functional / reporting currency,which is Sri Lankan Rupees.However, Group engages in transactions associated with foreign currencies in its ordinary course of operations, hence exposed to ‘Currency risk’.Across the industry, the hotel rates targeting the foreign tourists are quoted in US Dollar terms. However a fluctuation in the exchange rate will nothave a significant impact since majority of the quotes are converted to local currency at the point of invoicing. The Group monitors fluctuations inforeign exchange rates and takes precautionary measures to revise its exchange rates on a regular basis, in an attempt to mitigate the exposure tocurrency risk arising from its transactions.
