Czech - Swap 10

While effective, the 10-year swap carries basis risk when hedging specific government bond issues. The Swap Spread (the difference between the 10-year swap rate and the 10-year government bond yield) can widen significantly during "flight-to-quality" events where investors prefer sovereign collateral over bank credit risk.
