Foreign Exchange Risk in Malagasy Ariary (MGA)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Malagasy Ariary (MGA) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to cover your foreign exchange risk on Malagasy Ariary (MGA). Currently, foreign exchange risk coverage on Malagasy Ariary 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 cover your foreign exchange risk without any cash flow being exchanged 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 Malagasy Ariary (MGA).
