Drapeau Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk in IDR - Indonesian Rupiah

The Foreign Exchange Risk in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Hedging on Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The foreign exchange risk hedging on Indonesian Rupiah 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. On 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 cash flow being exchanged in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading desk. A market expert advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).
