Interest Risk

  • Interest Swap

    Interest rate swap is an agreement on exchange of cash flows denominated in one currency, which are derived from a fixed or variable basis. Party A undertakes to pay party B the agreed fixed interest on the agreed principal for the agreed period on the agreed maturity dates and at the same time, party B undertakes to pay party A the agreed variable interest on the agreed principal for the agreed period on the agreed maturity dates.

  • Interest Option

    In general, an option represents the right to purchase or sell a defined instrument on the agreed date. In the case of an interest rate option, the instrument is understood to mean exchange of payments from the agreed fixed rate for payments from the determined reference interest rate. Interest rate option allows the buyer to hedge his or her position against increase or decrease of interest rates.

  • Forward Rate Agreement

    An FRA transaction(Forward Rate Agreement) is a contract between the bank and the client, the subject of which is an agreement on the future interest rate for a particular deposit or loan within a certain agreed future period of time, whereas no actual provision of a loan or acceptance of a term deposit occurs between the contracting parties, but only exchange of the difference between the interest agreed in terms of the FRA transaction (“FRA rate”) and the current market interest listed on the financial market in the agreed future period of time for the term deposit or loan, which precisely corresponds to the conditions of the FRA transaction.

  • Swaption

    Swaption represents the right to enter into swap on some future date. The buyer of swaption gains a right (not obligation) to close a swap (swap defined in advance – notional amount, exchanged interest payments, calculation periods, maturity) with the seller of the swaption.  The buyer pays option premium to the seller for this right.
