Drapeau Hedge Foreign Exchange Risk in MYR - Malaysian Ringgit

The Foreign Exchange Risk in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)

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

Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk on Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Currently, foreign exchange risk hedging on the Malaysian Ringgit can 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 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 the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR).
