Currency content analysis technique indicates Risky cashflow = X SFR + Y USD, with currency risk in the SFR/USD exchange rate. If the spot exchange rate is 9.26 SFR /USD, the corresponding cashflow is USD 15.3 milion. If the spot exchange rate is 7.58 SFR / USD, the corresponding cashflow is USD 16.5 million. Solving the system of two equations in two unknowns, the values of X and Y will be 9.88 million SFR and 50.2 million SFR 50 million SFR and 10 million USD 10 million SFR and 50 million USD 50.2 million SFR and 9.88 million USD

Exchange Rate Risk

It is the possibility that the value of a currency will fluctuate in the future. In the wake of globalization, business establishments have increasingly ventured into international markets. The volume of international trade has prospered excellently in the near past and is expected to be more affluent in the future. The use of exchange-traded derivative financial instruments has been multi-folded to provide for the requirements of various MNCs and offshore potential investors. Most banks and financial institutions have helped integrate the global economies. Our Government has introduced some bold and extreme measures to fulfil the purpose behind the fiscal, industrial, and monetary policies. The enactment of GST is a huge step towards streamlining the taxation system of the country. Owing to Covid-19, this aspect of corporate risk management has become critical.
