The Group is now exposed to exchange rate risks arising from fluctuations in the Indian Rupee (INR) and the Turkish lira (TRY). Nevertheless, the group considers that exchange rate risks are not very material. See Note 9 to the 2022 consolidated financial statements for more information on financial risk management, and in particular Note 9.5 for more information on the use of financial instruments and hedge accounting.

Like other listed companies, Groupe ADP is facing risks related to foreign exchange and interest rates.

They are described in the appendix of the group consolidated accounts.
