(vi) Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s financial position or cash flows. (a) Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases, cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, and loans and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of Group entities. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily the Singapore Dollar, United States Dollar, Euro Dollar, Japanese Yen, India Rupee and Chinese Renminbi. Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk The Group uses foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency movements on its net income denominated in Japanese Yen from its investments in Japan. Where necessary, the foreign exchange forward contracts are rolled over at maturity. The Group actively monitors its foreign currency risk and minimises such risk by borrowing in the functional currency of the borrowing entity or by borrowing in the same currency as the foreign investment (i.e. natural hedge of net investments). The Group also enters in cross currency interest rate swaps to realign borrowings to the same currency of the Group’s foreign investments to achieve a natural hedge (see note 32(vii)). In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the functional currencies, the Group ensures that the net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rate where necessary to address short term imbalances. The nominal value and fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts, cross currency swaps and cross currency interest rate swaps are disclosed in note 21.
