DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments and other risk management techniques to reduce our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates in accordance with our risk management policies and to certain loan clients to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, changes in fair value of interest rate swaps on loans and foreign exchange contracts were losses of $41 thousand and gains of $240 thousand.
