approved by the Board. Qantas Group policy is not to enter, issue or hold derivative nancial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
The Qantas Group uses different methods to assess and manage different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity
analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks, and ageing analysis and sensitivity analysis for liquidity risk
and credit risk.

manages liquidity risk by targeting a minimum liquidity level, ensuring long-term commitments are managed with respect to forecast available
cash infl ow, maintaining access to a variety of additional funding sources including commercial paper and standby facilities and managing
maturity profi les.
