The hedges in place remove interest rate risk and smooth income over the medium term. The NII sensitivity for the Group at 31 December 2022 without hedging in place for +/-25bp rate shocks would be £233m/£(281)m respectively. NII sensitivity asymmetry is due to the timing impact of customer rate changes following the rate shock and also due to changes in the balance sheet composition. Reduction in overall NII sensitivity in both shock scenarios is due to the current rate levels removing the impact of embedded floors on product margins.
