Drapeau Covering Foreign Exchange Risk in TZS - Tanzanian Shilling

The Foreign Exchange Risk in Tanzanian Shilling (TZS)

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

Foreign Exchange Risk Coverage on Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to cover your foreign exchange risk on Tanzanian Shilling (TZS). The foreign exchange risk coverage on Tanzanian Shilling 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'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 cover your foreign exchange risk without any cash flow being exchanged in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading desk. An expert market advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on Tanzanian Shilling (TZS).
