Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk in KPW - North Korean Won

Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk on North Korean Won (KPW) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change enables you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on North Korean Won (KPW). Currently, foreign exchange risk hedging on North Korean Won can only be conducted 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 North Korean Won (KPW).
