(ii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from investments in fixed rate debt securities and short-term borrowing with variable rate. The Group and the Company adopt a policy of obtaining the most favourable interest rates available and by maintaining a balanced portfolio of mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings. The fixed rate debt instruments of the Group and of the Company are not subject to interest rate risk since neither carrying amounts nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in market interest rates. Interest Rate Risk Sensitivity Analysis The Group and the Company do not have any floating rate borrowings and hence, no sensitivity analysis is presented.
