7. Market risk

The main non-trading risk types are interest rates and credit spreads.

 

Interest rate risk may result in of loss from fluctuations in the future cash flows. Interest rate risk is managed principally through monitoring interest rate gaps and basis risk.

 

Credit spreads reflect the credit risk of the loans to customers, i.e. risk that a customer or counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk exposure and the related management process are described in note 5.
