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.

Workflow
- Open Treasury & ALM then ALM then FX Exposure.
- Generate the exposure report for the reporting date.
- Review the net open position per currency in base-currency terms.
- Compare each position and the aggregate against the open-position limits.
- Investigate any currency approaching or exceeding its ceiling.
