currency prices can be volatile and
[7]
organizations with exposures to foreign
[9]
currencies can be significantly impacted
[12]
by unfavorable movements this is
[15]
especially the case for importers and
[17]
exporters who have frequent transaction
[20]
exposures on their buying and selling
[22]
activities it is also highly relevant
[25]
for organizations with foreign
[27]
operations or dealings who may have
[29]
translation exposures for their assets
[32]
and liabilities organizations can have
[35]
competitive exposures which refers to
[38]
having competitors who source their
[40]
goods or services in a different
[42]
currency an Australian importer will
[45]
typically buy Goods quoted in a foreign
[48]
currency it will need to sell Australian
[51]
dollars to buy the foreign currency to
[53]
then pay for the goods when the
[56]
Australian dollar Falls or D values then
[59]
it is more expensive for the Australian
[61]
importer to import goods priced in the
[63]
higher currency for example assume the
[67]
cost of an imported good is one thousand
[70]
US dollars if the exchange rate is 80 US
[73]
cents then it costs twelve hundred and
[75]
fifty Australian dollars to buy if the
[79]
Australian dollar falls to 75 US cents
[82]
this increases the purchase price to
[85]
1333 Australian dollars this highlights
[89]
the transaction exposure for the
[91]
importer in addition a falling AUD can
[96]
stimulate local production by making
[98]
Australian producers
[100]
more competitive in price against those
[102]
foreign imports the Australian importer
[106]
may have competitors that source goods
[108]
from these cheaper domestic sources
[110]
providing it with competitive exposure
[113]
an Australian exporter may sell goods
[117]
quoted in a foreign currency upon
[119]
receipt of the foreign currency it will
[122]
need to sell the foreign currency and
[123]
buy Australian dollars when the
[126]
Australian dollar rises or appreciates
[128]
then the Australian exporter receives
[131]
less Australian dollars from
[133]
the foreign currency conversion for
[136]
example assume the sale of an exported
[138]
good is two thousand US dollars if the
[141]
exchange rate is 80 US cents then the
[144]
exporter receives two thousand five
[147]
hundred Australian dollars if the AUD
[150]
rises to eighty five US cents this
[153]
reduces the amount received two two
[155]
thousand three hundred and fifty three
[157]
Australian dollars this highlights the
[160]
transaction exposure for the exporter
[163]
note that if the exporter sells the
[166]
goods in Australian dollars a rising AUD
[169]
will mean that it costs more for the
[171]
foreign purchaser to buy the same amount
[173]
of goods while the exporter may not have
[177]
transaction exposure in this situation
[179]
keep in mind that the foreign purchaser
[181]
may look to buy the goods from another
[183]
source highlighting the potential for
[186]
competitive exposure consider the
[189]
situation where an Australian
[190]
organisation where the AUD as its
[193]
functional currency has a borrowing
[195]
denominated in a foreign currency it
[198]
needs to service the ongoing interest
[200]
payments and repay the loan at maturity
[203]
and the Australian dollar value of these
[205]
payments will be affected by foreign
[208]
exchange movements in addition during
[211]
the term of the loan the organization
[214]
reflects the value of the loan as a
[215]
liability on its balance sheet this
[219]
value will fluctuate with movements in
[221]
the foreign exchange rate if the foreign
[225]
borrowing is 1 million US dollars and
[227]
the exchange rate is 80 US cents the
[230]
organization has a liability of 1.25
[234]
million Australian dollars however if
[237]
the Australian dollar weakens to 75 US
[241]
cents the value of this liability
[243]
increases to 1.3 3 million Australian
[246]
dollars this highlights the impact of
[249]
the organization's translation exposure
[252]
that is converting the value of a
[255]
foreign currency denominated asset or
[257]
liability back to the functional
[259]
currency identifying foreign exchange
[262]
exposures is an extremely important
[264]
component of an organisation's
[267]
financial risk management framework
[269]
these exposures can take the form of
[272]
transaction exposure translation
[274]
exposure and competitive exposure
