Covering Foreign Exchange Risk in BWP - Botswana Pula
Foreign Exchange Risk in Botswana Pula (BWP)
When conducting transactions with Botswana, you may need to send or receive payments in Botswana Pula. You are then naturally exposed to foreign exchange risk. Indeed, between the time you invoice your client in BWP and the time you collect the BWP, or conversely between the time your supplier issues their invoice in BWP and you settle this invoice in BWP, the EUR/BWP exchange rate may have moved in your favor or against you. It is to eliminate or minimize this risk of EUR/BWP rate movement (assuming your accounting currency is EUR) over a determined period that you can implement hedges on the EUR/BWP. By locking in the EUR/BWP rate in advance, you gain better visibility on your future cash flows in Botswana Pula (BWP) and secure your EUR/BWP budget rate.
