Managing foreign exchange risk . : ED5-4/2010E-PDF
"The Canadian dollar has made the headlines on numerous occasions in recent years. Its value has changed significantly and rapidly many times, greatly impacting the sales and profits of Canadian companies that do business outside of Canada. When asked, in many surveys, what factors prevented them from increasing their export levels, Canadian companies identified fluctuations in exchange rates as the Number One factor. Studies have also shown that many Canadian companies, particular small and medium-sized ones, lack basic knowledge on how to manage foreign exchange risk. In response to this, EDC has prepared this document which serves as an introduction to the subject of foreign exchange risk. In it, the reader will learn, namely, why it makes sense to reduce the company’s exposure to currency risk, and find out more about the common techniques and instruments that can be used to mitigate this risk."
