Many of the companies engaged in export and import trade and also corporates who have been raising funds from abroad by way of ECB or FCCB are becoming increasingly exposed to foreign exchange risks. So it has become imperative for everyone connected with international finance or foreign trade to understand the exchange rate mechanism and the exchange rate risk so as to manage the risks efficiently and take appropriate action at the right time to ensure optimum profits for their enterprise.
