Transfer risk refers to the risk that the national government will not allow foreign currency to leave the country regardless of its source. Since MFIs operate in developing countries where the risk of currency depreciation is highest, they are particularly vulnerable to foreign exchange rate risk.

    Analysis of Exchange Rate Risk & Hedging Strategies

    Analysis of Exchange Rate Risk & Hedging Strategies - Study on Dutch Listed Firms Author: Akash Kumar (11133317) Contact: [email protected] Supervisor: Prof. Jeroen Ligterink Program: Amsterdam MBA (Full Time – 2016-17) Analysis of Exchange Rate Risk & Hedging Strategies ABSTRACT Currency risk arises from a combination of foreign currency exposure and volatility in foreign currency exchange rate with respect to domestic currency. As the firms may experience considerable exposure to foreign exchange rate risk because of foreign currency based activities and international competition. Many currencies are volatile as they show high fluctuations in the value due to various factors, such as trading speculation, change in global political and economic scenario, policy of central banks and many other factors. To minimize the effect of exchange rate risk, many firms use hedging techniques to over exposed risk, which may help to minimize the effects of exchange rate risk. In this paper, some hedging strategies will be discussed, for minimizing the firm’s exposure due to exchange rate fluctuations and test whether hedging diminishes the firm’s exposure. We analyse the relationship between the change of exchange rate and stock returns of 17 Dutch firms over a period of 10 years (2006-2016). We find that 41% of the firms are significantly exposed to exchange rate risk. We also examined the relationship between the coefficient of exchange rate exposure and foreign currency derivatives used by the firm to hedge the currency exposure. We were not able to any significant relationship between coefficient of exchange rate exposure and foreign currency derivatives. CONTENTS Abstract List of Abbreviations I.

    Freely Floating Exchange Rates Do Not Systematically Overshoot

    UC Santa Barbara Departmental Working Papers Title Freely Floating Exchange Rates Do Not Systematically Overshoot Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/97m8z6hw Author Pippenger, John Publication Date 2008-02-01 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Freely Floating Exchange Rates Do Not Systematically Overshoot John Pippenger Department of Economics University of California Santa Barbara California 93106 [email protected] The exchange rate literature contains two inconsistent strands. There is a large theoretical and empirical literature on overshooting. In that literature overshooting is an important explanation for exchange rate volatility. A separate literature says that exchange rates are martingales and that models do not beat a random walk. Both can not be true. I show that the evidence for overshooting is highly suspect while the evidence that flexible exchange rates are approximately martingales is rock solid. Given the strength of the evidence, models that imply overshooting probably should be rejected out of hand. 11 February 2008 JEL Classification numbers: F3, F31 Keywords: overshooting, exchange rates, volatility, martingales The literature on exchange rates contains two mutually inconsistent strands. On the one hand there is a large theoretical and empirical literature on overshooting.1 According to that literature, overshooting is an important explanation for the volatility of exchange rates. On the other hand a large literature says that exchange rates are essentially martingales and that economic models cannot beat a random walk out of sample.2 Both of these strands can not be true. They are not both true. As shown below, the evidence for overshooting is highly suspect.

    The Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Derivatives Markets

    The Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Derivatives Markets: Turnover in the United States, April 2016 Federal Reserve Bank of New York Turnover in the United States, April 2016 The Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Derivatives Markets: Turnover in the United States, April 2016 Background The Federal Reserve Bank of New York together with over fifty other central banks conducted a survey of turnover in the over-the-counter (OTC) foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives markets for April 2016. This worldwide, cooperative effort is undertaken every three years and is coordinated by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). The “triennial survey” is a comprehensive source of information on the size and structure of the OTC foreign exchange and derivatives markets. To measure the OTC markets, the dealers that make markets in foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives reported trading volumes for April 2016 to the central banks in the countries where they are located. The participants reported separately the volume of trading they conduct with each other to permit adjustments for double reporting. The central banks then compiled national aggregates from the dealers’ data and the BIS compiled global totals from the central banks’ national data.1 (See Annex I for a complete description of survey terms and methods.) In 2016, a total of twenty-three dealers in the United States participated in the foreign exchange part of the survey and nineteen in the interest rate derivatives section, slightly changed from 2013, which had twenty-four and eighteen participating institutions respectively. Participating dealers were commercial banks, U.S. offices of foreign banking organizations, and securities brokers/dealers.
