Some Aspects of Exchange Risk Policies under Floating Rates

Journal of International Business Studies, 1976, vol. 7, issue 2, 89-98

Abstract: This article examines two basic aspects of the exchange risk policies of a sample of Canadian firms under floating rates, namely the extent of risk coverage and the means of coverage. The analysis shows that whereas the 1970 floating of the Canadian dollar had relatively limited impact, the subsequent and more general floating of key currencies (from early 1973 on) has had widespread and pronounced effects on the firms' exchange risk policies with respect to both extent and means of coverage.© 1976 JIBS.
