This introduction to the Currency Risk Management series of books explains the nature of risk, how it is measured, and the short and long-term implications for business. It examines the concept of a broad policy towards currency risk management and in particular whether a business should seek to limit or hedge its exposure. A description is given of transaction, translation and economic exposure and methods for quantifying with a view to establishing a risk management strategy.

This expansive new range of risk management texts has undergone extensive re-writing to give each book in the series an international perspective. Each explains and analyses core aspects of risk assessment and management in a way invaluable to students and useful to practitioners. All of these titles adopt a practical and clear approach to their subject. All are fully updated versions of a series of books previously produced by training experts at BPP.
