The Foreign Exchange Risk in Guinean Franc (GNF)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Guinean Franc (GNF) with Global Exchange

Global Exchange allows you to cover your foreign exchange risk on the Guinean Franc (GNF). Currently, foreign exchange risk coverage on the Guinean 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 transferred 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 Guinean Franc (GNF).
