NOTE 10 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
10.4 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Financial derivatives that Gener and its subsidiaries hold correspond primarily to transactions entered into with the intent to hedge interest and exchange rate volatility arising from financing development projects.
The Company, in line with its risk management policy, enters into interest rate and cross currency swaps to reduce the anticipated variability of the un- derlying debt’s future cash flows.
