35 Management of financial risks
Credit risk
The credit risk from financial assets comprises the risk of default by a contractual party and
therefore does not exceed the positive fair values of these assets. The risk from originated
financial instruments is covered by value adjustments. The contractual partners for cash
and capital investments, as well as currency and raw materials hedging instruments, have
impeccable creditworthiness. Over and above this, the risks are restricted by a limit system
that is based on the credit ratings of international rating agencies.
The quality of financial assets by category is presented in the following table:

thiness” exclusively.
