Currency management involves the strategic monitoring, analysis, and mitigation of risks related to currency fluctuations in international transactions and investments. It utilizes financial instruments, hedging techniques, and software tools to shield against adverse exchange rate movements, thus ensuring financial stability and optimizing returns.
The primary types of currency exchange in currency management are floating currency exchange and fixed currency exchange. Floating currency exchange is a system where a country's currency value is determined by the open market based on supply and demand relative to other currencies. The different types of hedges include portfolio hedging, share class hedging, and benchmark hedging. Applications of currency management extend to commercial and investment banks, central banks, multinational corporations, and other entities.
