17. Forward rate agreement (FRA)/Interest rate swaps (IRS)
The Bank enters into FRA and IRS contracts for balance sheet management and market making purposes whereby the
Bank offers derivative products to its customers to enable them to hedge their interest rate risk within the prevalent
regulatory guidelines.
A FRA is a nancial contract between two parties to exchange interest payments for ‘notional principal’ amount on
settlement date, for a specied period from start date to maturity date. Accordingly, on the settlement date, cash
payments based on contract rate and the settlement rate, which is the agreed bench-mark/reference rate prevailing
on the settlement date, are made by the parties to one another. The benchmark used in the FRA contracts of the Bank
is London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) of various currencies.
An IRS is a nancial contract between two parties exchanging or swapping a stream of interest payments for a ‘notional
principal’ amount on multiple occasions during a specied period. The Bank deals in interest rate benchmarks like
Mumbai Inter-Bank Offered Rate (MIBOR), Indian government securities Benchmark rate (INBMK), Mumbai Inter Bank
Forward Offer Rate (MIFOR) and LIBOR of various currencies.
These contracts are subject to the risks of changes in market interest rates as well as the settlement risk with the
counterparties.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the details of the forward rate agreements/interest
rate swaps.
