The Foreign Exchange Risk in Gambian Dalasi (GMD)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Gambian Dalasi (GMD) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to cover your foreign exchange risk on Gambian Dalasi (GMD). The foreign exchange risk coverage on Gambian Dalasi 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'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 cover your foreign exchange risk without any flow being paid 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 Gambian Dalasi (GMD).
