INTRODUCTION OF CURRENCY DERIVATIVES Each country has its own currency through w
hich both national and international transactions are performed.All the internat
ional business transactions involve an exchange of one currency for another. For
example, If any Indian firm borrows funds from international financial market i
n US dollars for short or long term then at maturity the same would be refunded
in particular agreed currency along with accrued interest on borrowed money.It m
eans that the borrowed foreign currency brought in the country will be converted
into Indian currency, and when borrowed fund are paid to the lender then the ho
me currency will be converted into foreign lender’s currency. Thus, the currency u
nits of a country involve an exchange of one currency for another. The price of
one currency in terms of other currency is known as exchange rate. The foreign e
xchange markets of a country provide the mechanism of exchanging different curre
ncies with one and another, and thus, facilitating transfer of purchasing power
from one country to another. With the multiple growths of international trade an
d finance all over the world, trading in foreign currencies has grown tremendous
ly over the past several decades.Since the exchange rates are continuously chang
ing, so the firms are exposed to the risk of exchange rate movements.As a result
the assets or liability or cash flows of a firm which are denominated in foreig
n currencies undergo a change in value over a period of time due to variation in
exchange rates This variability in the value of assets or liabilities or cash f
lows is referred to exchange rate risk.Since the fixed exchange rate system has
been fallen in the early 1970s, specifically in developed countries, the currenc
y risk has become substantial for many business firms. As a result, these firms
are increasingly turning to various risk hedging products like
