Book excerpt: The globalization and liberalization of the Indian economy since 1991 has led to an exponential rise in the currency exposures of Indian businesses. Increasing exchange rate volatility has made Indian business entities more vulnerable to the risks arising out of not only revenue and capital account transactions but also economic exposures, which often arise without direct foreign currency dealings. In such circumstances, it has become vital for finance managers to understand the functioning of currency markets. With banks offering various hedging instruments to manage the risk, it is equally important to understand when and how to use these instruments, especially complex, structured derivative products. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the functioning of the forex markets, the risks and objectives pertinent to forex exposures, the derivative instruments available for hedging, as well as an insight into some of the disputes between banks and their counter parties in relation to mis-selling of derivatives as hedging alternatives. Apart from covering the risk management issues, the book touches upon the relevant accounting and regulatory aspects in the treatment of forex derivatives. The book would be found especially valuable by Finance Treasury professionals in banks, companies and auditors. It is also a useful primer for managers in other functional areas like purchase, sales, commercial, etc. who are involved in foreign exchange transactions.

Download or read book Management and Control of Foreign Exchange Risk written by Laurent L. Jacque and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since I first published Management of Foreign Exchange Risk (Lexington Books, 1978), financial innovation-spurred, in part, by exploding volatility in currency prices-has revolutionized the theory and praxis of foreign exchange risk management. Old-fashioned forward contracts have surrendered market share to currency swaps and options as well as to their perpetually multiplying derivatives. Interestingly, forex derivatives now provide a low cost and highly efficient method of transferring risk from the firms that are exposed to risk but which would rather not be (i. e. , risk-hedgers) to those which are not exposed but which-in exchange for a fee-would assume some exposure to risk (i. e. , risk bearers). Perhaps more importantly, foreign exchange risk management, which was once a fairly mechanical task confmed to the international treasury function, is now permeating global strategic management. Indeed, since the demise of the Bretton Woods system of pegged exchange rates, the cost of forex hedging instruments has fallen so dramatically that firms can readily avail themselves of hedging products which can reduce unwanted risk, thereby potentially gaining a competitive advantage over rivals that do not. Management and Control of Foreign Exchange Risk has grown out of a fundamental revision of my earlier work published almost 20 years ago. In the process, my thinking about risk and its mathematics has greatly benefitted from my association with John Cozzolino and Charles Tapiero.

Download or read book Management of Foreign Exchange Risk written by Y. C. Lum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a technical and specialised discussion of contemporary and emerging issues in foreign exchange and financial markets by addressing the issues of risk management and theory and hypothesis development, which have general implications for finance theory and foreign exchange market management. It offers an in-depth, comprehensive analysis of the issues concerning the volatility of exchange rates. The book has three main objectives. First, it applies the integrated study of exchange rate volatility in terms of depth and breadth. Second, it applies the integrated study of exchange rate volatility in Malaysia, as a case study of a developing country. Malaysia had imposed capital control measures in the past and has now liberalised its exchange rate market and will continue to liberalise it further in the long run. Hence, the need to understand exchange rate volatility measurement and management will be even more important in the future. Third, the book highlights new conditional volatility models for a developing country, such as Malaysia, and develops advanced econometric models which have produced results for sound risk management strategies and for achieving risk management in the financial market and the economy. Additionally, the authors recommend risk management themes which may be of relevance to other developing countries. This work can be used as a reference book by fund managers, financial market analysts, researchers, academics, practitioners, policy makers and postgraduate students in the areas of finance, accounting, business and financial economics. It can also be a supplementary text for Ph.D. and Masters’ students in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currency Risk Management (CRM) is vital for any business engaging in international trade. Fluctuations and uncertainty within currency markets mean that businesses must seek to effectively manage and anticipate potential risks when striking international deals. In a rapidly changing and volatile global business environment, CRM is now more than ever of critical importance. However, what risks should businesses hedge – and how? With so many viable strategies for hedging currency exchange risk, it is crucial that businesses either outsource or have a specialized team to ensure effective and efficient management of currency exchange risks. But how does CRM operate in an emerging market? And what are the key factors that influence the chosen CRM strategies? Organized in association with Indian Bank, GITAM’s national conference on CRM sought to highlight the trends, problems, and prospects of CRM in India. Taken from the conference proceedings, this book presents 9 innovative research papers that consider differing CRM practices. From a comparative study of India and China to an assessment of CRM strategies used by commercial Indian banks, this book offers an invaluable insight into CRM from the perspective of an emerging market. As a whole, this book addresses India’s shift to a market-determined exchange rate regime and the inevitable problems caused the by the high volatility of exchange rates. Aimed at students enrolled in commerce and management courses, this collection of research papers will also be of interest to researchers in international finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, University of applied sciences, Munich, language: English, abstract: The globalization enables companies a rapid expansion of their international businesses. In particular, the former export champion Germany gets higher profits from increased worldwide business activities and sales opportunities. However, while the international expansion reaches daily new records, the risks for international business remain and should be considered seriously. The risks of international business are from different types and include economic, political, manufacturing, currency, and transport risks. For export transactions risk analysis of buyer and buyer's country plays an important role. Based on a thorough risk analysis, terms of payment and terms of delivery in the contract of sale could be developed. Moreover, hedging instruments like advance payment, letter of credit, payment guarantee from a bank, government Euler Hermes coverage, transport insurance and others arrangements could be used for international financing. The object of this study is to learn and understand about international finance and risk management through evaluation of risks and opportunities for international expansion of a medium sized company. Thereby, country risks of Lebanon, Russia and Turkey are appraised using SWOT analysis. Furthermore, differences between political and commercial risks are studied. Various terms, e.g. INCOTERMS, Payment terms, Collection, and Letter of credit, are explained and compared. In addition, pros and cons of repaying of company's loan in Euro or Swiss Francs are assessed. Finally, the possibilities of money transfer inside Europe and to the US are illustrated. Besides the theoretical reflection concrete recommendations are given for the company.
