Nermin Sefić analyses currency hedging, key risks, and practical consequences for exporters exposed to foreign-exchange volatility.
An exporter who doesn't hedge currency risk is actually taking a speculative position, even when that decision was never consciously made.

A company invoicing in foreign currency while incurring costs in domestic currency automatically carries currency risk regardless of whether it has ever formally analysed or decided to manage it.
Indirect hedging through natural alignment of revenue and costs in the same currency is often cheaper than financial instruments, but requires a deliberate contract structure, not coincidence.
When natural hedging isn't sufficient, forward contracts and currency options only make sense with a clearly defined policy — what percentage of exposure is covered, over what term, and with what approval.
The absence of a written currency policy doesn't mean the absence of risk; it just means no one is formally deciding on it.
