STEP 1: TYPEs OF Risk

  • Transaction Risk
  • Translation Risk
  • Economic Risk
VALUE AT RISK MODEL - SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS


TRAN - cash flow risk and deals with the effect of exchange rate moves on transaction account exposure related to receivables (contracts) MEASURE - project the net amount of inflows or outflows in each foreign currency, and determine the overall risk of exposure to those currencies.

TRANSLATION- Is basically balance sheet exchange rate risk and relates exchange rate moves to the
valuation of a foreign subsidiary and, in turn, to the consolidation of a foreign subsidiary to the parent company’s balance sheet. MEASURE Exposed assets and liabilities are translated at the current
exchange rate. Non-exposed assets and liabilities are translated at the historical
exchange rate.

ECON - Is the risk that adverse currency movements will affect the customer’s core business, rather than an individual transaction. MEASURE One measure of economic exposure involves classifying the firm’s
cash flows into income statement items, and then reviewing how the earnings forecast in the income statement changes in response to alternative exchange rate scenarios. Another method of assessing a firm’s economic exposure involves applying regression analysis to historical cash flow and exchange
rate data.
