At variation of interest rates by (-) 0,5% the sensitive analysis presents variations of the same value as in the above table but with the opposite sign.

The above interest rates variations were calculated based on observations of average interest rates fluctuations in 2019 and 2018.

The influence of interest rates changes was presented on annual basis.

For derivatives in sensitivity analysis for the risk of interest rates changes interest rate curve displacement due to potential reference rate change was used, provided that other risk factors remain constant.

Sensitivity analysis to commodity risk, exchange rates changes and to the risk of interest rates changes was carried out based on the same methodology.
