Abstract
This is the fourth of a four-case series. The company faced currency risk on its sales to European markets, and on some Yen loans it had taken. Because the HK$ was pegged to the US$, currency risk on its American sales was seen as practically nil. In this respect, the company's currency position is similar to that of a French or Spanish company exporting to other countries in the European Union whose currency is pegged to the Euro, but also exporting to North America, while financing part of its operations with Yen or Sterling.
