Drapeau Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk in DOP - Dominican Peso

The Foreign Exchange Risk in Dominican Peso (DOP)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Hedging on the Dominican Peso (DOP) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Dominican Peso (DOP). The foreign exchange risk hedging on the Dominican Peso can currently 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 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 flow being paid in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading room. A market expert advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on the Dominican Peso (DOP).
