Overview

Increased global volatility is significantly impacting companies’ currency and interest rate risk management strategies, as geopolitical tensions, fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures and unstable commodity prices create unpredictable financial environments. These challenges make managing foreign exchange (FX) and interest rate risks, ensuring liquidity and maintaining operational stability more complex than ever.

FX fluctuations can erode profit margins and disrupt cash flows. The vast majority (93%) of senior finance leaders say inaccurate cash flow forecasting has led to otherwise avoidable costs in the past three years, according to HSBC’s Corporate Risk Management Survey 2024. Rising interest rates further complicate hedging strategies and borrowing costs, while inflation adds pressure on operational budgets. To adapt, companies are enhancing their risk management frameworks by using digital platforms and predictive tools. Diversifying funding sources and strengthening banking relationships also helps safeguard access to credit during crises.

HSBC, in partnership with the Financial Times, held an insightful and practical discussion on how companies can improve adaptability and resilience in their currency and interest rate risk management.
