1. Introduction:
Foreign Currency Txs or Foreign Operations – exposes entity to ∆ exchange rates = Foreign Currency
Risk
Entity can protect itself using Hedging (trying to make foreign exchange difference as small as
possible):
o Internal Hedging
Pay foreign creditor sooner :. avoiding negative impact due to deterioration of exchange
rates
o External Hedging
Use a financial instrument (hedging instrument) to eliminate/minimize negative impact
through offsetting of foreign exchange differences – FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT
(FEC)
Forward Exchange Contract (FEC):
o Entity enters agreement with bank to purchase
Specific amt of foreign currency
On specified future date (maturity date of FEC)
At specified exchange rate (regardless of spot exchange rate on that date) = forward
rate (usually at a premium or discount to current spot exch. rate)
o DERIVATIVE financial instrument :
Value changes based on exchange rates (underlying)
No initial investment
Settled at future date
