Interest rate risk
At 31 December 2022, 96% (2021: 92%) of Group borrowings were
secured either through fixed-rate loans or other hedge transactions. The
duration of hedges relating to net borrowings of the Group was 182
months (2021: 151 months).
The weighted average interest rate on the Group's loans, credit facilities
and interest rate hedging was 1.0% at the end of 2022 (2021: 1.2%).
A 1 percentage point increase in interest rates would not have a signifi-
cant impact on the income statement (2021: increase DKK 57 million)
and other comprehensive income (2021: increase DKK 5 million), based
on average net interest-bearing debt for 2022. The calculation method
applied in the sensitivity analysis is unchanged compared to previous years.
Credit risk
The Group's credit risk mainly relates to trade receivables.
The Group is not dependent on particular customer segments or any spe-
cific customers, and all customers are subjected to individual credit as-
sessments and credit limits in accordance with the Group's Credit Policy.
As a result, the credit risk of the Group is generally considered insignificant.
The Group mainly hedges credit risks through the use of credit insurance.
For a limited number of customers, the Group uses non-recourse fac-
toring. At 31 December 2022, non-recourse factoring amounted to DKK
2,288 million (2021: 1,696 million).
DSV is exposed to counterparty credit risk when entering into derivative
financial instruments. In order to reduce this risk, DSV only enters into
derivative financial instruments with the existing banks of the Group
whose credit ratings from Standard & Poor's are long-term A or higher.
As a general rule, the Group only makes short-term deposits with banks
rated short-term A-2 or higher by Standard & Poor's and/or P-2 or high-
er by Moody's.
Impairment of trade receivables
Impairment of trade receivables is assessed on an ongoing basis and in-
surance policies are taken out for the majority of these.
At 31 December 2022, credit insurance amounted to DKK 26,628 mil-
lion, corresponding to 82% of total trade receivables (2021: DKK 25,295
million or 70%).
Loss allowances for impaired trade receivables are provided for following
an expected credit loss model. The model includes uninsured trade receiv-
ables and also factors in any own risk on insured receivables. Expected
credit loss at 31 December 2022 is presented in the following table:
