Where Currency Risk Hides in Your Business
Most businesses recognize that exchange rates can affect profitability, but the underlying exposure isn't always obvious. In this interactive working session, Natasha Francis, Portfolio Manager – Derivatives at FINMETRIX, will explore how currency risk can arise through pricing, procurement, contracts and payment terms. Through practical examples and guided exercises, participants will learn to recognize potential exposures, ask the right questions and understand the first steps toward a more structured approach to FX risk management.
