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

Mondial Change Answers All Your Questions on Foreign Exchange Risk Hedging for Your Operations in Norwegian Krone (NOK)
Are there minimum or maximum amounts for setting up hedges in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
The maximum amount of hedges in Norwegian Krone (NOK) you can validate primarily depends on the size of the forward exchange line granted to you. The line conditions granted depend on the review of your financial statements. Regarding minimum sizes, we generally do not take hedges for amounts below 10,000 EUR (or equivalent in other currencies).
What is the maximum maturity possible for hedges in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
Generally, we do not offer hedges in Norwegian Krone (NOK) for maturities exceeding 24 months, but this can be considered on a case-by-case basis. Please contact our trading desk for a personalized study of your needs.
What are the setup fees for hedging against foreign exchange risk in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
All fees related to setting up hedges in Norwegian Krone (NOK) are included in the exchange rate communicated to you before validating your operation. The hedging is done by phone with a trading desk operator. No fees are applied to the use of your hedges.
Is a security deposit required to take a hedge in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
Again, this depends on the conditions of your forward exchange line. Thanks to its network of partners, Mondial Change generally manages to obtain forward exchange lines without an initial security deposit. Depending on your line conditions, margin calls may be triggered on your Norwegian Krone (NOK) hedging contracts if the EUR/NOK rate (or any other pair on which you have validated a hedge) deteriorates beyond the variation margin or beyond your OTM. You must then deposit funds as collateral to keep your Norwegian Krone (NOK) contracts open. Based on the review of your financial statements, lines without margin calls may sometimes be granted.
Are there minimum amounts for early drawdowns on flexible forward contracts in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
No minimum amount for drawdowns on your flexible forward contracts in Norwegian Krone (NOK). You can draw autonomously on the online platform, as many times as you wish between the contract initiation and the maturity date of your forward contract in Norwegian Krone (NOK).
What happens if at maturity of my forward contract in Norwegian Krone (NOK) I have not used the entirety of my contract?
In this case, there are two possibilities. You can sell the balance of your contract by paying the potential exchange loss if the exchange rate at the time of resale is less favorable than your contract rate. Or you can ask Mondial Change to extend your Norwegian Krone (NOK) contract by a few months to give you time to use it. However, Mondial Change and its partners reserve the right not to accept postponing the contract maturity date.
What is the current interest rate on the Norwegian Krone (NOK)?

Are there carry points or discount points on forward contracts in Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
It all depends on whether you are a buyer or seller of Norwegian Krone (NOK) and against which currency you are trading the Norwegian Krone. If we take an example against the euro: If you are a buyer of Norwegian Krone (NOK) against the EUR, then there are report points because the interest rate of the Norwegian Krone (NOK) is supérieur to that of the EUR. Conversely, if you are a seller of Norwegian Krone (NOK) against the EUR, then there are déport points.
