2.3.3 Disclosures on risk exposure in derivatives

Qualitative Disclosure

The Treasury Policy of the Bank lays down the types of financial derivative instruments, scope of usages, approval procedures and the limits like open position limits, stop loss limits and counter party exposure limits for undertaking derivative transactions.

The Bank uses financial derivative transactions for hedging its on or off balance sheet exposures as well as for market making. Basically, these products are used for hedging risk, reducing cost and increasing the yield in such transactions and for proprietary trading.

The types of risk to which the bank is exposed to are credit risk, market risk, country risk and operational risk. The Bank has risk management policies (approved by Board of Directors of the Bank), which is designed to measure the financial risks for transactions in the trading book on a regular basis, by way of MTM, VaR and PV01, and to set appropriate risk limits. These are monitored by means of reliable and upto date Management Information Systems by the Risk Management Department of the Bank from time to time who, in turn, apprises the risk profile to the Risk Management Committee of Directors which is presided over by the Bank�s Chairman and Managing Director.

The counter parties to the transactions are banks and corporate entities. The deals are done under approved exposure limits. The bank has adopted the current exposure method prescribed by Reserve Bank of India for measuring Credit Exposure on Derivative products as per which the bank sums the total replacement cost (obtained by mark to market of all its contracts with positive value i.e. when the bank has to receive money from the counter party) and an amount for potential future changes in credit exposure calculated on the basis of the total notional principal amount of the contract multiplied by the relevant credit conversion factors according to the residual maturity as detailed herein under:-

Conversion factor to be applied on notional principal amount

Residual Maturity	Interest Rate Contract	Exchange Rate Contract
Less than one year	0.50%	2.00%
One year and above	1.00%	10.00%

The hedge/non-hedge (market making) transactions are recorded separately. Hedging derivatives are accounted for on an accrual basis. Trading derivative positions are markedto- market (MTM) and the resulting losses, if any, are recognized in the Profit and Loss Account. Profit, if any, is not recognized. Income and Expenditure relating to interest rate swaps are recognized on the settlement date. Gains/losses on termination of the trading swaps are recorded on the termination date as income/expenditure.
