RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company has developed and implemented a risk management policy
which encompasses practices relating to identification, assessment
monitoring and mitigation of various risks to key business objectives.
The Risk management framework of the Company seeks to minimize adverse
impact of risks on our key business objectives and enables the Company
to leverage market opportunities effectively.
The various key risks to key business objectives are as follows:
Liquidity Risk: It is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet
its financial commitment to a Bank/ Financial Institution in any
location, any currency at any point in time. Liquidity risk can
manifest in three different dimensions for the Company.
Funding Risk: To replace net outflows due to unanticipated outflows.
Time Risk: To compensate for non receipt of expected inflows of funds.
Call Risk: Due to crystallization of contingent liabilities or
inability to undertake profitable business opportunities when
desirable.
Interest Rate Risk: It is the risk where changes in market interest
rates might adversely affect the Company''s financial condition. The
short term/immediate impact of changes in interest rates are on the
Company''s Net Interest Income (NII). On a longer term, changes in
interest rates impact the cash flows on the assets, liabilities and
off-balance sheet items, giving rise to a risk to the net worth of the
Company arising out of all repricing mismatches and other interest rate
sensitive positions.
