FX Exposure

FX Exposure measures the SACCO's net open position in each foreign currency, comparing currency-denominated assets and liabilities to quantify exchange-rate risk. It expresses exposure in base-currency terms and against any single-currency and aggregate open-position limits. Pivot and graph views help the treasurer monitor exposure by currency and keep within prudential FX ceilings.

Notes & rules

  • Exposure is translated to base currency for limit comparison.
  • Both single-currency and aggregate open-position limits apply.
  • Breaches feed the dashboard and can raise an FX alarm.
