V. Explanations on Consolidated Currency Risk
Foreign currency position risk for the Group is a result of the difference between the Group’s assets denominated in and indexed to foreign currencies and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies. Furthermore, parity fluctuations of different foreign currencies are another element of the currency risk.
The currency risk for the Parent Bank is managed by the internal currency risk limits which are established as a part of the Parent Bank’s risk policies. The Assets and Liabilities
Committee and the Assets and Liabilities Management Unit meet regularly to take the necessary decisions for hedging exchange rate and parity risks, within framework of the
determined by the “Net Foreign Currency Overall Position/ Shareholders’ Equity” ratio, which is a part of the legal requirement and the internal currency risk limits specified by the
Board of Directors. Foreign exchange risk management decisions are strictly applied.
In measuring currency risk, which the Group is exposed to, both the Standard Method and the Value at Risk Model (VAR) are used as applied in the statutory reporting.
Measurements made for the Parent Bank within the scope of the Standard Method are carried out on a monthly basis and form the basis of determining the capital requirement for
hedging currency risk.
Risk measurements made within the context of the VAR are made on a daily basis using the historical and Monte Carlo simulation methods. Furthermore, scenario analyses are
conducted to support the calculations made within the VAR context.
