22. Financial risk management:// Policies

Fair value measurement hierarchy Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified according to the following levels: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; or Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); or Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Risk management framework Vector has a comprehensive treasury policy, approved by the board of directors, to manage financial risks arising from business activity. The policy outlines the objectives and approach that the group applies to manage: —— Interest rate risk; —— Credit risk; —— Liquidity risk; —— Foreign exchange risk; and —— Funding risk. For each risk type, any position outside the policy limits requires the prior approval of the board of directors. Each risk is monitored on a regular basis and reported to the board.
