                  The Group has certain cash and bank balances and investments denominated in foreign currencies, which are exposed to foreign currency risk. When the exchange rates of foreign currencies against the Hong Kong dollar fluctuate, the value of the cash and bank balances and investments denominated in foreign currencies translated into Hong Kong dollar will vary accordingly.
Foreign exchange risk sensitivity
There would have no significant effect on the surplus of the Group resulting from the foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of cash and bank balances and investments denominated in foreign currencies as the Group currently considered the risk of movements in exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollars and foreign currencies to be insignificant.
(b) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to promote urban renewal in Hong Kong by way of redevelopment, rehabilitation, revitalisation and heritage preservation.
The Group’s working capital is mainly financed by the Government’s equity injection, accumulated surplus and debt securities issued. The Group also maintains credit facilities to ensure the availability of funding when needed.
