Interpretation of impact

The Group and the Bank measure the foreign exchange sensitivity based on the foreign exchange net open
positions (including foreign exchange structural position) under an adverse movement in all foreign currencies
against reporting currency (MYR). The result implies that the Group and the Bank may be subjected to additional
translation (loss)/gain if MYR appreciated/depreciated against other currencies or vice versa.
(c) Liquidity and funding risk

Liquidity and funding risk is the potential inability of the Group and the Bank to meet its funding requirements
arising from cash flow mismatches at a reasonable cost while market liquidity risk refers to the Group’s and the Bank’s
potential inability to liquidate positions quickly and with insufficient volumes, at a reasonable price.

The Group and the Bank monitor the maturity profile of assets and liabilities so that adequate liquidity is maintained
at all times. The Group’s and the Bank’s ability to maintain a stable liquidity profile is primarily due to its success in
retaining and growing its customer deposits base.

The marketing strategy of the Group and the Bank has ensured a balanced mix of deposits level. Stability of the
deposits base thus minimises the Group’s and the Bank’s dependency on volatile short-term receiving. Considering
the effective maturities of deposits are based largely on retention history (behavioral method) and in view of the
ready availability of liquidity investments, the Group and the Bank are able to ensure that sufficient liquidity is always
available whenever necessary.

The Asset & Liability Committee (“ALCO”) chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, is being conducted on monthly
basis, which purpose is to review the Liquidity Gap Profile of the Group and the Bank. In addition, the Group and the
Bank apply the liquidity stress test which addresses strategic issues concerning liquidity risk.
The tables depicted in the following pages are the analysis of assets and liabilities of the Group and the Bank as at
31 December 2024 based on remaining contractual maturities.
