B15 Derivatives and financial risk management (continued) Market risk (continued) Interest rate risk
The Group’s main exposure to interest rate risk arises from our borrowings and cash and cash equivalents. The Group manages the interest rate risk on our borrowings by entering into fixed rate debt facilities or by using interest rate swaps to convert floating rate debt to fixed interest rates. The Group’s policy is to hedge the interest rate exposure on drawn debt to between 80% and 100%, and to ensure compliance with any covenant requirements of our funding facilities. As at 30 June 2022, 100% (2021: 100%) of the Group’s interest rate exposure on variable rate borrowings was hedged (excluding working capital facilities). The effects of the interest rate related hedging instruments on the Group’s financial position and performance are as follows:

1. The notional amounts disclosed in the table above exclude $408 million (2021: $393 million) relating to interest rate swaps which are not hedge accounted. These notional amounts are however included in the net exposure to interest rate risk table. The notional amounts above also include $407 million (2021: $407 million) of forward starting swaps which are hedging the same underlying interest rate exposures and therefore not included in the net exposure to interest rate risk table. The notional amount of interest rate swaps hedging floating rate interest rate exposures relating to fixed-for-floating cross-currency swaps is also excluded (2022: $nil; 2021: $nil).
