Foreign Exchange Risk in Congolese Franc (CDF)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Congolese Franc (CDF) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Congolese Franc (CDF). Currently, foreign exchange risk coverage on the Congolese Franc can only be achieved 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 exchanged in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading desk. An expert market advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on the Congolese Franc (CDF).
