27.2 Management of exchange rate risk
Nature of the Group’s risk exposure

VINCI generates more than 60% of its revenue in the eurozone. Contracts outside the eurozone are generally carried out in the local currency in respect of local subsidiaries’ activities, and usually in euros and dollars in the case of major export projects. The Group’s exposure to exchange rate risk is therefore limited.

VINCI’s exchange rate risk management policy consists of hedging the transactional risk connected with subsidiaries’ commercial or financial flows denominated in currencies other than their functional currency.

In addition, the Group’s strategy is intended to minimise asset-related exchange rate risk. Through regular monitoring, hedging levels are adjusted in line with currency exposures relating to net assets owned. A risk analysis is carried out for each new investment to decide whether or not to hedge the exposure, by converting euro-denominated financing into foreign currency or financing directly in foreign currency.
