The above currencies correspond <strong>to</strong> those in which loans are denominated, and can vary from time <strong>to</strong> time from <strong>the</strong> indices used (in<br />
<strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> USD, in 2007).<br />
The fair value of current and non-current Debt <strong>to</strong> Credit Institutions is close <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> balance sheet value due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> fact that <strong>the</strong><br />
contracted interest rate is <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>the</strong> market rate, given <strong>the</strong> fi nancing conditions in those countries in which <strong>Efacec</strong> operates.<br />
Interest rate risk<br />
During 2008, <strong>the</strong> net cash outfl ow of interest was 6,210 thousand Euro (Note 21).<br />
Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> growth of <strong>the</strong> Group and accrued fi nancing needs, <strong>the</strong> gross fi nancial debt as at 31 December 2008 <strong>to</strong>talled 240,700<br />
thousand Euro. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, interest rates tended <strong>to</strong> rise until <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> third quarter. As at 31 December 2008, <strong>the</strong><br />
overall rate of global EFACEC fi nancing increased <strong>to</strong> 5.17%% (compared <strong>to</strong> 4.81% in 2007), involving several currencies, countries<br />
and fi nancing methods. Statistically, as at 31 December 2008, this rate meant an annual gross cost of 12,437 thousand Euro. On<br />
<strong>the</strong> assumption that <strong>the</strong> value of debt as of that date will continue, <strong>the</strong> sensitivity <strong>to</strong> changes in interest rates can be calculated<br />
as follows:<br />
Tx Final Annual Cost Impact<br />
As at December 2008 EUR<br />
Reference fi gures (Base: 31.Dec.2008)<br />
Sensitivity<br />
5.17% 12,437,164<br />
-If fi nal rate increases 1% 6.17% 14,844,166 2,407,002<br />
-If fi nal rate decreases 1% 4.17% 10,030,163 -2,407,002<br />
As at December 2007 EUR<br />
Reference fi gures (Base: 31.Dec.2008)<br />
Sensitivity<br />
4.81% 5,341,447<br />
-If fi nal rate increases 1% 5.81% 6,453,037 1,111,590<br />
-If fi nal rate decreases 1% 3.81% 4,229,857 -1,111,590<br />
If <strong>the</strong>re were a worsening of <strong>the</strong> overall average rate of <strong>the</strong> Euro in 1%, <strong>the</strong> annual interest cost would be 14,844 thousand Euro. If<br />
on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand <strong>the</strong>re were a relief in overall interest rates of 1%, <strong>the</strong> annual interest rate cost would be 10,030 thousand Euro.<br />
The gross impact would be +/- 2,407 thousand Euro (+/- 1,112 thousand Euro in 2007). As pertains <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r currencies used<br />
in Group company fi nancing, <strong>the</strong> values are not <strong>to</strong>o relevant: for debt values at Balance date, <strong>the</strong> sensitivity <strong>to</strong> variations of <strong>the</strong><br />
USD was +/- 54 thousand Euro, and in <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> Metical (Mozambique) it was +/- 29 thousand Euro. The Group manages<br />
<strong>the</strong> interest rate risk through derivatives contracted on its medium and long-term fi nancing, thus enabling <strong>the</strong> impact of interest<br />
changes <strong>to</strong> be mitigated (Note 2.1, 2.2 and 8).<br />
Unused Credit Lines<br />
The Group also has <strong>the</strong> following credit lines that have not yet been used:<br />
