选项:
解释:
The bank is taking the risk that interest rates will increase because, if that happens, it will have to pay a higher interest rate on the floating-rate deposits but will not receive a higher rate of interest on the fixed-rate assets. It can hedge its risk by entering into a swap where it is receiving floating and paying fixed.
风险明明 是存款利率上升,为什么是interest rate?
