The negative exposure to a fall in interest rates is limited by the current level of the euro and dollar rates, very close to zero, which prevents the occurrence of extremely adverse scenarios. However, this is not the case with rise scenarios, which have a greater range, generating a positive asymmetry in potential results due to the positioning of the balance sheets.
