      Forward contracts: Management of exchange rate risk
      The forward rate is an exchange rate established when an operation is formalized for performing future transactions that will take place after a specified amount of time (more than two business days), and in which the currency pair is exchanged or settled by differentials. That makes it possible to establish an exchange rate on the currency market for a specific future date, as a way of managing exchange rate risk. For a company with international operations, one type of risk associated with possible losses or uncertainties related to payments made or received is caused by fluctuations in currency prices (exchange rates). However, there are a variety of products or currency transactions that can be used to manage exchange rate risk.
