• Set of do’s and don’ts aimed only at meeting accounting and auditor requirements

A robust Forex Risk Management policy is meant to



It is meant to be a hedger’s friend, philosopher and guide, telling him

• What to hedge – whether imports or exports
• When to hedge – now or later
• For which period to hedge – for the near term or long term
• How to hedge – through forwards or options
• How much to hedge – 8%? 20%? 30%? 50%? 70%? How much?
• How to benchmark?
• How to measure the performance?

Many companies struggle to arrive at optimal solutions for these issues, primarily due to two major obstacles:

1. Not knowing how any one solution will work in the long term
2. Whether to implement different policies for imports and exports
