The Foreign Exchange Risk in Colombian Peso (COP)

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

Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk on Colombian Peso (COP) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Colombian Peso (COP). Currently, hedging foreign exchange risk on the Colombian 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 Colombian Peso (COP).
