(d) Maximum credit risk exposure

The maximum credit exposure by counterparty to which Transpower is subject is measured by the market value of cross currency interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate options, foreign currency options and forward rate agreements.

Where the current market value by counterparty is negative or represents a loss, Transpower is not subject to credit risk on these instruments at balance date.

Current market value

LINES BUSINESS 2002 $000 LINES BUSINESS 2001 $000
Cross currency interest rate swaps 70,801
Foreign exchange forward contracts -
Interest rate swaps 3,979
Interest rate options -

Forward rate agreements 2

The credit risk arising from the use of derivative products is reduced by the netting and set-off provisions of the documentation and the application of applicable law. The Group further manages this risk by only entering into transactions with counterparties that fall within Transpower’s credit risk management policy as outlined in section (b) risk management policies, of this note.

(e) Carrying value and fair value

Carrying value

For off balance sheet financial instruments the carrying value in the Carrying/Fair Value table below is taken from the other receivables and other liabilities categories in the Statement of Financial Position as appropriate. The carrying values represent the results of accounting for these instruments, as described in the Statement of Accounting Policies. The unrealised foreign currency gains and losses on cross currency interest rate swaps are included in the carrying value of debt.
