...expansion by identifying the associated risks of foreign currency exposure, as well as addressing the major dimensions on international finance, evaluate the basic functions of the international banking system and financial market, and finally recommendations on the best way ahead for Koch Industries entering the Philippine market. To begin, this paper will first examine the possible risks of foreign currency exposure for Koch Industries in the Philippines. As financial markets have become more global and fast moving, foreign currency exposure can have an enormous and rapid impact on profitability can be potentially catastrophic to even the most entrenched and successful companies. Managing exposure and mitigating risk is large and involved process, and has been shown that companies in western industrial economies are quite refined and cultured in currency hedging and conduct business with a modest amount of risk. However, while there is a plethora of evidence supporting the actions of western industries much less is available regarding companies in the rapidly emerging Asia-Pacific region. The results of a 13-year study conducted by Professor David Parsley, of the Owen Vanderbilt Graduate School of Management, found that “the basic issue is that many Asia-Pacific businesses haven’t hedged their exposure and face significant risk of depreciation of their assets or severe increases in their debt obligations held in foreign currencies”, he said.

...FDI)? What are the Theories of FDI? What Are the pons & cons , Cost/ benefitr fro the cost country n home country? Answer: Foreign Direct Investment: FDI occurs when a frim invest directly in facilities to produce or market product in a foreign country. The Theories of FDI: Theroies of FDI may be classified under the following------ 1. Production or product Cycle Theory of Vernon 2. The theory of Exchange Rate on Imperfect Capital Market 3. The Internalisation Theory 4. The Eclectic Paradigm of Dunning Production or product Cycle Theory of Vernon Production or product theory developed by Vernob in 1966 was used to explain certain types of FDI. He believes that there are four stage of production cycle— * Innivation * Growth * Maturity * Decline. Vernon’s production life-cycle suggest that frims undertake FDI at particular stage in the life cycle of products they have developed or produced. However, Vernon’s theory does not adresss the issue of whether FDI is more efficient than exporting or licensing for expanding abroad. The theory of Exchange Rate on Imperfect Capital Market: This is another theory which tried to explain FDI. Initially the foreign exchange risk has been analyzed from the perspective of international trade. However, currency risk rate theory cannot explain simultaneous foreign direct investment between countries with different currencies. The sustainers argue that such investments are made in different times...

...exchange rate determination “Having endeavored to forecast exchange rates for more than half a century, I have understandably developed significant humility about my ability in this area…”[1] - Alan Greenspan Figure 1: Exchange Rate Determination [pic] Source: Exchange Rate Determination I. Short-Run Forecasting Tools Short-term changes in exchange rates are the most difficult to predict and are often determined based on bandwagon effects, overreaction to news, speculation, and technical analysis.[2] Trend-Following Behavior is the tendency for the market to follow a trend. In other words an increase in the exchange rate is more likely to be followed by another increase. Investor Sentiment is based on the consensus of the market. For example if the market is bullish on the dollar, then the dollar is likely to strengthen versus other currencies. The FX market is quite different from the world equity markets in one important aspect: transparency. In equity markets, rules ensure that volume and price data are readily available to all parties… this is NOT the case in FX markets. In fact large FX dealers are able to observe factors such as: shifts in risk appetite, liquidity needs, hedging demands, and institutional rebalancing.[3] Order Flow - there is evidence of a positive correlation between spot exchange rate movements and order flows in the inter-dealer market[4] and with movements in customer order flows.[5] Three explanations for the cause...
