Market risk was dominated by debt securities at December 2019, followed by equities. Exposure
to debt securities reflected a noticeable increase in 2019. The trading book position in debt
securities was negligible. The net open position in foreign currencies, excluding the USD and
GCC-pegged currencies, was limited and declined at year-end 2019 compared to the prior year.
