Core Viewpoint - Exchange rate risk, also known as foreign exchange risk, refers to the potential for loss (or gain) due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates affecting the value of assets, liabilities, income, or expenses denominated in foreign currencies [1][5]. Group 1: Types of Exchange Rate Risk - Transaction risk is the most common form of exchange rate risk, occurring during transactions priced in foreign currencies. For example, a Chinese export company expecting to receive 1 million USD may face a loss if the exchange rate changes unfavorably before payment is received [4]. - Translation risk, also known as accounting risk, arises when a company needs to convert its functional currency into its reporting currency for financial statements. A depreciation of the local currency against the reporting currency can lead to reduced asset and profit values in the consolidated financial statements [4]. - Economic risk, or operational risk, involves unexpected exchange rate changes that can affect a company's future revenues or cash flows by altering production costs, sales volumes, and pricing strategies. For instance, a sudden appreciation of the local currency can make exported products more expensive, potentially reducing sales [4]. Group 2: Impact and Management of Exchange Rate Risk - In the current international trade environment, exchange rate risk significantly impacts companies, particularly in foreign trade. For export-oriented firms, local currency appreciation can reduce price competitiveness and profit margins, while for import-oriented firms, local currency depreciation can increase costs [5]. - To assess and manage exchange rate risk, companies need to monitor factors influencing currency fluctuations, such as international balance of payments, foreign exchange reserves, interest rates, inflation, and political conditions. Financial instruments like foreign exchange forward contracts, futures, and options can be utilized for hedging [5]. - Companies should also optimize their choice of settlement currencies and adjust pricing strategies for imports and exports to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations [5].

Group 1 - Currency exchange plays a significant role in cross-border consumption, travel, and investment, with the current exchange rate of 1 Japanese Yen equating to approximately 0.0473 Chinese Yuan as of July 2024 [1][3] - The Bank of Japan has maintained an ultra-loose monetary policy, while the People's Bank of China adjusts its policies based on domestic economic conditions, impacting the value of the Yen [3][4] - The actual effective exchange rate index of the Yen is nearing historical lows, indicating a potential demand for value recovery [5] Group 2 - For small exchanges, digital banks with "flash exchange" features can facilitate quick transactions, while larger exchanges may benefit from "large amount preferential rates" offered by banks [4] - A 5% depreciation of the Yen could increase purchasing power by approximately 68 Yuan, while a 3% appreciation could reduce it by about 41 Yuan, highlighting the importance of monitoring exchange rate fluctuations [4] - Consumers are advised to operate when the exchange rate is within ±2% of the three-month average to minimize decision-making costs and should prioritize direct payments in Yen to avoid additional losses from currency conversion [5]
