Hahn The successful introduction of the euro brings renewed interest to the topic of whether similar approaches might be successfully implemented in other regions. One region that may be a promising candidate for this process is Southeast Asia, comprising the ASEAN member countries. These nations have long seen the value of co-operation in order to promote peace, stability, and economic growth. Nonetheless, important differences between the euro area and the ASEAN zone suggest that a wholesale importation of the European approach may be inopportune at the moment. The issues are examined by using economic convergence modelling perspectives. In general, the findings clearly suggest that further work remains before ASEAN will be able to fully benefit from having a single currency area. I. Introduction this is an achievable, or even a desirable, goal. The recent successful introduction of a common printed currency in the euro...

...credit. For example, Honda Motor Cycles in China, that company sells the cars to consumers comes with forward contract, it is included the price adjustment clauses. In order to reflect certain exchange rates changes it’s based on the adjusted price. The forward contract also brings more benefit to the consumers that helps them can get lower price. Furthermore, Honda Company has used policy such as purchasing foreign currency by using the currency swaps. This helps to fix the price of the car across currency contract in advance. In the foreign market from Japan’s Honda Co. the car is priced in Yen that means the company faces with foreign exchange risk. Thus, above solution is helpfully to protect subsidiary and reduce transaction exposure. Translation exposure Translation exposure can be established as type of foreign exchange risk that MNC have subsidiaries operated markets oversea (Wang, 2005), which country faced with translation exposure. This is affected on the translation of the liabilities and assets denominated in the foreign currency into the home currency of the parent company when...

...the Bretton Woods Agreement, each government obliged to maintain a fixed exchange rate for its currency vis-à-vis the dollar or gold. As one ounce of gold was set equal to $35, fixing a currency’s gold price was equivalent to setting its exchange rate relative to the dollar. The fixed exchange rates were maintained by official intervention in the foreign exchange markets. This intervention was about purchases and sales of dollars by foreign central banks against their own currencies whenever the supply and demand conditions in the market deviate from the agreed on par values. Any dollars acquired by the monetary authorities in the process of an intervention could then be exchanged for gold at the U.S Treasury. In principle, the stability of exchange rates removed uncertainty from international trade and investment transactions. Normally, if a country followed its own policies leading to a higher inflation rate than its trading partners would experience a balance of payments deficit as its good became more expensive, which means its exports will decrease. A deficit has consequences, an increase in the supply of the deficit country’s currency on the foreign exchange markets. The excess supply would demoralize the exchange value of the currency of that country, forcing its authorities to intervene. The nation would be required to buy with its reserves the excess supply of its own currency, in order to reduce the domestic money supply. In addition, as the country’s reserves were depleted...

...Nike, Inc. Internal Memo Subject: Porsche Powers Profit With Currency Plays To: Mr. Mark Parker, President and Chief Executive Officer From: Hongjie Pan, Assistant Chief Financial Officer On October 9, 2012, I attended a conference, and the speaker gave a presentation about a report entitled “Porsche Powers Profit With Currency Play”. This report was written by Stephen Power, and it was published in The Wall Street Journal on December 8, 2004. I would like to share what techniques this multi-international company is using to maximize their wealth. The main point of the report was that Porsche used its profit to do investments and hedged the appreciation of the US dollar. Porsche had a great market share in the United States and lots of revenue came from US buyers in US dollars. The Porsche Company betted that US dollars would drop so they bought put options to prevent the currency loss. I suggest Nike should learn from Porsche, and buy call options to prevent currency loss. From the presentation, I found out that Porsche gain more than 80% of the profit of a fiscal year by hedging in 2003. According to the article, “or up to 800 million euros ($1.07 billion) of the 1.1 billion euros Porsche reported for the fiscal year that ended July 31 – came from skillfully executing options.” It showed how important hedging was. Porsche made the right bet on US dollar depreciation in 2004. Porsche not only earned money by hedging the week US dollar, but also using new technology to...

...its own brand as well as multiple other brands such as, Nike Golf, Nike Pro, Nike+, Nike Skateboarding and subsidiaries including Cole Haan, Hurley International, Umbro and Converse. In addition to manufacturing sportswear and equipment, the company operates retail stores under the Niketown name. Comparative Advantage Nike uses its involvement in multiple countries to gain some sort of comparative advantage. This refers to the increase in production efficiency through specialisation in separate countries which perform a task in some way better, in this case cheaper. Nike, although based in the US, produces all of its goods outside the US in many different countries. In Shoe production, for example, in 2010 products were produced in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, Thailand and India. This diversification of production gives not only a comparative advantage in cheap labour when producing these shoes, compared to producing domestically, but also gives a closer proximity and possibly cheaper transport costs to large markets such as Europe. Nike also manufactures its shoes in Countries such as Argentina and Brazil using agreements with independent factories. Shoes produced through these agreements are meant primarily for sale...

... I remember this crisis began in Thailand and that I was reading the business section of Manila Bulletin and one of the headlines was the sudden depreciation of Thailand Baht against the USD. Little did everyone know that a few days later our Philippine Peso would suffer the same fate. Had I known I would have converted all my pesos into USD. Many of the leaders in the Southeast Asian countries, notably the then Malaysian Prime Minister Mahatir Mohammad blamed the Asian financial crisis to currency speculators. Mahatir specifically single out US financial wizard George Soros as the one who was to be blamed for the crisis contagion. Allegedly, Soros speculated heavily against the Malaysian Ringgit and other affected Malaysian currencies. Thus in a matter of days, these Asian currencies plunged against the US Dollars. Should we really blame the market speculators for the cause of the financial crisis in Asia in 1997? According to the author of the article, we should not blame the currency and equity speculators. I agree with him that the Asian Crisis was primarily caused by...

...Market Ray A. Gray II FIN/366 March 28, 2016 Todd Kucker Eurocurrency Market A eurocurrency is any currency banked outside of its country of origin. The term eurocurrency is actually a misnomer because a eurocurrency can be created anywhere in the world; the persistent euro- prefix reflects the European origin of the market. Eurodollars, which account for about two-thirds of all eurocurrencies, are dollars banked outside of the United States. Other important eurocurrencies include the euro-yen, the euro-deutsche mark, the euro-franc, and the euro-pound (2016). A Eurocurrency market is a money market that provides banking services to a variety of customers by using foreign currencies located outside of the domestic marketplace. The concept does not have anything to do with the European Union or the banks associated with the member countries, although the origins of the concept are heavily derived from the region. Instead, it represents any deposit of foreign currencies into a domestic bank. For example, if Japanese yen is deposited into a bank in the United States, it is considered to be operating under the auspices of the Eurocurrency market. Despite its name, the Eurocurrency market is primarily influenced by the value of the American dollar, since nearly two-thirds of all assets around the globe are represented by U.S. currency. The challenge with foreign banks revolves around the fact that regulations enforced by the Federal Reserve are really only...

Capital control and growth rates in developing Asia and the twin deficit problem of the United States are also discussed. It also assesses the probability of the reemergence of an exchange rate crisis in Southeast Asia and the wisdom of having an Asian IMF. “Lenin was right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency.” — John Maynard Keynes The Economic Consequences of Peace Keywords: Exchange rate crisis; capital control; growth rates in China and ASEAN; East Asian financial crisis; US twin deficits; IMF; AMF. 1. Post-Crisis Per Capita Income A not well-known fact is that all the six economies in Southeast Asia adversely affected by the 1997/1998 financial crisis have not, until today (November 2005), some eight years later, recovered from the pre-crisis per capita income level in US dollar terms (see Table 1). Thailand’s per capita income in 1996 was US$3,084. After the impressive post-crisis recovery eight years later in 2004, it decreased by 18.3% to US$2,519. Indonesia’s per capita income declined by 10.4%. In other words, the damage the exchange...

...Introduction: In a global economy fueled by advances in telecommunications and information technologies, offshore outsourcing is evolving from conventional international-trade practices. Every year US companies outsource their task to other countries where they can get their task done by labors at a cheap rate. IT companies can save up to 30 percent in operational expenses when compared to a US-based operations. So, setting up a business in those countries where labors are cheap can be beneficial for the company because of this trend. The ICT industry saw a phenomenal growth over the last decade across the world due to the need of lowering cost and the ability to gain access to talent. The ICT sector of Bangladesh is almost comparable to other countries in the SAARC region. Bangladeshi firms mainly deal with IT enabled services, such as ERP, website development, graphics design, etc. During the last couple of years there has been a new trend in Bangladesh of individual/group based outsourcing which is also known as freelancing. * firms in developed countries look for outsourcing businesses in developing countries because of their comparative advantages, such as low human resource costs, technological skills, language proficiency, and geographic and cultural proximity to major markets. * Such as Maldives, Pakistan, but India is way too far out. * Enterprise Resource planning * Dhaka ranked 3rd in global outsourcing so this states...
