The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the relevant foreign currencies against the functional currency. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding monetary items denominated in a foreign currency and adjusts their translation at 31 December 2021 for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. 2021 2020 US$’000 US$’000 Increase/(decrease) in profit before tax If US$ weakens against RMB 169 134 If US$ strengthens against RMB (169) (134) If US$ weakens against JPY (1,309) (626) If US$ strengthens against JPY 1,309 626 If US$ weakens against S$ (2,710) (1,895) If US$ strengthens against S$ 2,710 1,895 If US$ weakens against A$ (402) 1,723 If US$ strengthens against A$ 402 (1,723) If US$ weakens against INR 1,041 800 If US$ strengthens against INR (1,041) (800) R E A C H I N G N E W H E I G H T S 228
