In comparison with banks in many advanced economies, banks in emerging market economies (EMEs) make less use of interest rate derivatives. Instead, they mitigate the impact of rate changes on their net interest income by minimising repricing gaps between assets and liabilities. The management of interest rate risk might become more challenging with the expansion of EME banks' securities holdings.
