A comprehensive guide to managing global financial risk
From the balance of payment exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risk, to credit derivatives and other exotic options, futures, and swaps for miti-gating and transferring risk, this book provides a sim-ple yet comprehensive analysis of complex derivatives pricing and their application in risk management. The risk posed by foreign exchange transactions stems from the volatility of the exchange rate, the volatility of the interest rates, and factors unique to individual compa-nies which are interrelated. To protect and hedge against adverse currency and interest rate changes, multinational corporations need to take concrete steps for mitigating these risks.
Managing Global Financial and Foreign Exchange Rate Risk offers a thorough treatment of price, for-eign currency, and interest rate risk management practices of multinational corporations in a dynamic global economy. It lays out the pros and cons of vari-ous hedging instruments, as well as the economic cost benefit analysis of alternative hedging vehicles. Written in a detailed yet user-friendly manner, this resource provides treasurers and other financial managers with the tools they need to manage their various exposures to credit, price, and foreign exchange risk.
