What is forex risk?
Sometimes called currency risk or foreign exchange (FX) risk, it refers to the losses you could incur when making an international financial transaction, due to currency fluctuations.
Having a forex risk management plan is smart because currency fluctuations can significantly impact a business’s profitability.
Why understanding FX risk management is important
Currency fluctuations are not always a bad thing.
If you understand forex risk and how to manage it, you can try to anticipate and plan for opportunities to save money on your international transactions.

“…In 2022, the pound fluctuated by nearly 25% against the US dollar…If you’re a business buying £10 million pounds worth of USD, you could stand to lose £2.5 million pounds.”
OFXpert, Harry Narenthira, explains why a currency risk management plan can help your business.
How can you manage forex risk?
The most common way is with a simple hedging strategy.
