(h) Sensitivity Analysis

Currency risk
Group policy (section b) is to hedge all foreign denominated debt and committed foreign purchases greater than $1 million (New Zealand dollar equivalent).

All foreign debt is transferred back into New Zealand Dollars through Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps and foreign purchases in excess of $1m have forward exchange contracts.

Interest rate risk
The Transpower Lines Business policy is to hedge between 80% and 100% of debt in year 1 and reducing amounts out to 15 years. Movements in market interest rates would therefore impact through Fair Value movement risk (refer below). Transpower does not hedge account for interest rate risk.
