V. Currency risk
The group is exposed to currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which revenue, operating costs and borrowings
are denominated and the respective functional currencies of group companies. The primary functional currencies used by the group are the Rand, US
Dollar and Euro. The group’s investments in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding SA) expose the group to “in-country” local currency and US Dollar currency
risk, while the group’s investments in South-Eastern Europe expose the group to “in-country” local currency (in instances where the local currency is
not the Euro or pegged to the Euro) and Euro currency risk. Dividends earned from foreign operations are currently hedged six months in advance of
receipt.
The summary quantitative data about the group’s exposure to currency risk as reported to management of the group is as follows.
