7. RISK EXPOSURE<br />

Dealing in financial instruments can entail the assumption or transfer of one or more classes of risk by<br />

financial institutions. The risks related to financial instruments are:<br />

• Credit risk: credit risk defined as the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial<br />

loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation.<br />

• Market risks: these are defined as the risks arising from the maintenance of financial instruments<br />

whose value may be affected by changes in market conditions. It includes three types of risk:<br />

- Foreign-exchange risk: this is the risk resulting from variations in foreign exchange rates.<br />

- Interest rate risk: this arises from variations in market interest rates.<br />

- Price risk: this is the risk resulting from variations in market prices, either due to factors specific<br />

to the instrument itself, or alternatively to factors which affect all the instruments traded on the<br />

market.<br />

• Liquidity risk: this is the possibility that a company cannot meet its payment commitments duly, or, to<br />

do so, must resort to borrowing funds under onerous conditions, or risking its image and the reputation<br />

of the entity.<br />
