22. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY We are exposed to interest rate risk as a result of a difference, or gap, between the maturity or repricing behaviour of interest sensitive assets and liabilities. The interest rate gap is managed by adjusting the repricing behaviour of interest sensitive assets or liabilities to ensure the gap falls within our risk appetite. The repricing profile of these assets and liabilities has been incorporated in the following table, which contains the gap position at October 31 for select time intervals. Figures in brackets represent an excess of liabilities over assets or a negative gap position.

(1) Potential prepayments of fixed rate loans and early redemption of redeemable fixed term deposits have not been estimated. Redemptions of fixed term deposits where depositors have this option are not expected to be material. The majority of fixed rate loans, mortgages and leases are either closed or carry prepayment penalties. (2) Accrued interest is excluded in calculating interest sensitive assets and liabilities. (3) Derivative financial instruments are included in this table at the notional amount.

Based on the current interest rate gap position, it is estimated that a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would increase net interest income by approximately $1,559 (October 31, 2021 – insignificant) and a one-percentage point decrease in interest rates would decrease net interest income by approximately $3,429 (October 31, 2021 – insignificant). The analysis is a static measurement of interest rate sensitivity gaps at a specific point in time, and there is potential for these gaps to change significantly over a short period. The impact on common shareholders’ net income from changes in market interest rates depends on both the magnitude of and speed with which interest rates change, as well as the size and maturity structure of the cumulative interest rate gap position and the management of those positions over time.
