Foreign Exchange Risk in Swazi Lilangeni (SZL)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Swazi Lilangeni (SZL) with Global Exchange

Global Exchange allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on Swazi Lilangeni (SZL). The foreign exchange risk coverage on Swazi Lilangeni can currently 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 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 Swazi Lilangeni (SZL).
