✨ Financial Instruments Notes




4278 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 170

11. Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Risk

There is no interest rate risk as NGC – Transmission Activities does not hold any interest bearing assets or liabilities.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments potentially subject to credit risk are cash deposits and trade debtors. Cash deposits are placed with a small number of trading banks and the amount deposited per bank is limited. The counter parties and the credit limits are approved by the Board of Directors. NGC completes credit evaluations on customers where possible and requires a bond to be paid when customers cannot demonstrate an adequate credit history. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are undertaken from time to time and resulting from these activities exposures in foreign currencies arise, these exposures are managed by other NGC Group companies.

Fair Values

Cash at bank, other investments, trade creditors and amounts due to subsidiaries - the carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
