Sensitivity analysis for types of market risk | The sensitivity analysis on pre-tax net income presents the impact of foreign currency denominated financial instruments and adjusts their translation for a 5% strengthening in the relevant foreign currency as at the end of the respective periods. The sensitivity analysis on other comprehensive income (loss) presents the impact of a 5% strengthening in foreign currency rates on the fair value of foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as at the end of the respective periods. This analysis assumes all other variables remain constant.
