Drapeau Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk in CLP - Chilean Peso

Foreign Exchange Risk in Chilean Peso (CLP)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Hedging on Chilean Peso (CLP) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Chilean Peso (CLP). Currently, foreign exchange risk hedging on the Chilean Peso can only be done through NDF (non-deliverable forwards) contracts. The NDF is a hedging instrument used to cover your foreign exchange risk on partially or non-convertible currencies. At the contract's expiration date, the rate at which the contract was concluded is compared with the fixing rate. The latter is official and published daily by the Central Bank of the concerned country. The NDF price represents the probability of a revaluation (or devaluation) of the currency. Therefore, the NDF price will not be linked to the interest rate differential between the two currencies involved. The NDF thus allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk without any cash flow being transferred in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading desk. A market expert advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on the Chilean Peso (CLP).
