In the ordinary course of our operations, we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include credit risk, currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report for further details.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that our contractual counterparties are unable to perform their obligations. We are exposed to credit risk as a result of our operating and investing activities. With respect to our operating activities, our exposure to credit risk arises from our trade and other receivables. However, we are not exposed to increased credit risk as a result of a single counterparty and we mitigate concentration of credit risk with respect to our receivables by performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers. With respect to our financial instruments, our cash and cash equivalents are all held with reputable bank and financial institution counterparties.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that our earnings will be affected as a result of fluctuations in the value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. We do not have any material borrowings which are exposed to interest rate risk. We have certain financial assets that generate interest income. However, we are not exposed to material interest rate risk on these financial assets.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. We are not exposed in our transactions denominated in Emirati dirham as it is pegged against the US dollar. However, for the transactions denominated in other currencies (i.e., Pakistani rupees, Egyptian pounds or Kenyan shillings), we are exposed to currency risks as these currencies are not pegged against the US dollar. For detailed discussion and sensitivity analysis on currency risk, see Note 3 of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Other Price Risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices (other than those arising from currency risk or interest rate risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual financial instrument or its issuer, or factors affecting all similar financial instruments traded in the market.
