The Foreign Exchange Risk in Philippine Peso (PHP)

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

Hedging Foreign Exchange Risk on the Philippine Peso (PHP) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Philippine Peso (PHP). Currently, foreign exchange risk hedging on the Philippine Peso 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. On 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 currency revaluation (or devaluation). 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 transferred 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 Philippine Peso (PHP).
