Note 16 - Market risk related to interest rate risk
This note is a sensitivity analysis based on relevant balance sheet items as of 31 December and thereafter for the year concerned. The Bank's interest rate risk is calculated by simulating a parallel interest rate shift for the entire interest rate curve of one percentage point on all balance sheet items.
Interest rate risk has varied somewhat through 2018. Interest rate risk is volatile and such variations are not unusual. Interest rate risk has throughout 2018 been within the overall limit set by the Board of Directors, NOK 132m as at 31 December 2018. For further details regarding interest rate risk, see Note 7 Risk Factors.
