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