Further hikes in US interest rates may affect to decline in local equity and bond markets since high interest seeking foreign investors are returning to the more liquid and developed markets. Then the security prices may go down. As an effect of this, interest rate risk is minimal as over 70% of advances and 90% of deposits can be re priced within one year.
HNB shows they have affected from decline in bond prices due to increase of interest rates.
Commercial bank says they got an impact on profit or loss and equity as a result of a change in market price by 10% throughout the year.

HNB uses one day, 99% Value at Risk approach for overnight foreign exchange positions to reflect the 99% probability that the daily loss will not exceed the reported value at risk. According to that foreign exchange risk shows 0.54%.
Commercial bank regularly conducts analysis on Net Open Position (NOP) due to possible changes in the USD/LKR exchange rate to assess the exposure to foreign exchange risk. In 2014 NOP takes negative US$1117 that is much good than previous year. It says they have handled that risk.
Apart from above circumstances, followings are also affected to the market risk of HNB as well as for Commercial bank up to certain level.
