(c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash nows of the Group’s and the Company’s mnancial
instruments will nuctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group’s and the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from their loans and borrowings.
The Group’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of mxed and noating rate debts.
Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk
At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 10 basis points lower/higher, with all other variables held constant,
the Group’s promt net of tax would have been RM249,215 higher/lower, arising mainly as a result of lower/
higher interest expense on noating rate loans and borrowings. The assumed movement in interest rate for interest
rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment.
