Understanding and Evaluating Risk:
In order to create a comprehensive treasury management and currency strategy, the first step is to understand the different economic and business risks and evaluate their impact.
Currency market risk can be attributed to a number of economic and business factors:
- Transactional risk
Transactional risk relates to the exposure caused through regular business transactions and day-to-day business. For example, payables to overseas suppliers, receivables from the sale of exported goods and/or services, international intercompany payments, and funding/dividend exposures from overseas assets.
- Translational risk
Translation risk arises when companies conducting business in foreign markets need to translate the value of their overseas assets and liabilities into their home currency, in order to consolidate parent and foreign subsidiary financial statements. Fluctuating currency exchange rates can have a significant impact upon shareholders’ investments.
- Economic risk
Economic risk arises from the performance of global and domestic markets and their effects on your business.
