The PGE Group identifies the following types of market risk to which it is exposed:

  • interest rate risk,
  • currency risk,
  • commodity price risk.

Currently, the PGE Group is exposed mainly to currency risk related to foreign exchange rates between EUR/PLN, USD/PLN and CHF/PLN and to interest rate risk related to referential interest rates of PLN, EUR, USD and CHF. The PGE Group uses a script analysis method for the purpose of analyzing sensitivity to changes of market risk factors i.e.the Group uses experts’ scripts reflecting the subjective opinion in relation to future fluctuations of individual market risk factors.

The scenario analysis presented in this point is intended to analyze the influence of changes in market risk factors on the financial results of the Group. Only those items that can be defined as financial instruments are subject to the analysis of interest and currency risk.

In sensitivity analysis related to interest rate risk, the PGE Group applies parallel shift of interest rate curve related to a potential possible change of referential interest rates during the following year.

In case of sensitivity analysis of interest rates’ fluctuations, the effect of risk factors’ changes could be recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as interest income or expenses or as revaluation of financial instruments measured at fair value.

The tables below present sensitivity analysis related to all types of financial market risks to which the Group is exposed as at the reporting date, indicating potential influence of changes of individual risk factors on profit before tax by class of assets and liabilities.

The currency risk exposure for derivative forward instruments is their nominal value together with accrued interest to the reporting date, translated into Polish zloty at the closing rate as at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, without taking the discount into account. In turn, the carrying amount of these derivative instruments is their fair value.

Sensitivity analysis for currency risk

The table below presents sensitivity of financial instruments to reasonably possible changes in foreign currency exchange rates, under the assumption of stability of other risk factors.
