Market Risks - Sensitivity Analysis<br />
A principal part of the group’s management of market risk is to monitor the sensitivity of projected net interest income<br />
under varying interest rate scenarios (simulation modelling) and the sensitivity of future earnings and capital to varying<br />
foreign exchange rates. Stress tests provide an indication of the potential size of losses that could arise in extreme conditions.<br />
The group aims, through its management of market risk, to mitigate the impact of prospective interest rate movements<br />
and foreign exchange fluctuations which could reduce future earnings and capital.<br />
For simulation modelling, the group uses a combination of scenarios relevant to local businesses and local markets.<br />
These scenarios are used to illustrate the effect on the group’s earnings and capital.<br />
