INSURANCE AGAINST CURRENCY RISK

If you do business abroad, you are exposed to currency risk. Currency risk represents a potential loss due to a change in the exchange rate, which everyone who does business abroad is exposed to. A change in the exchange rate affects the cash flow of already concluded deals as well as the cash flow that will result from future deals. To protect your currency risk, you can choose derivative financial instruments, which you can use to control future income and expenses and the operating result of your company today.

Currency Forward (FX Forward)

It is the purchase or sale of a specified amount of the selected currency at an agreed forward rate with a transaction maturity date longer than two business days. The forward exchange rate is calculated based on the current exchange rate on the market and the difference in the interest rates of the corresponding currencies until the maturity date of the transaction. The forward rate can be higher or lower than the current rate. The new KBM offers companies the option of concluding a futures transaction with a maturity of two years.

Upon predetermining the forward exchange rate on the due date, the customer will:
