1. What is the business reason for China Noah’s potential currency exposure? Does the company need to subject itself to substantial exchange rate risk? Is the risk “material” to China Noah? Do you think China Noah should hedge? The business reason that led for China Noah’s potential currency exposure is the fact that the company wanted to shift its business of procurement of wood to Indonesia. The procurement that was to be moved to Indonesia was to be that of a large portion of raw materials. The company wanted to shift its procurement to Indonesia because the country had abundant wood resources, and since the market of the supply of tight wood was increasing in China every year the company had to look for more, raw materials.

This means that, in the coming years, the yuan will be stronger in the coming years which will make the return on sales to increase. On the other hand, if the IDR/CNY exchange rate follows the forward rate quotes, the profitability of China would increase because the rupiah will be discounted against the yuan. When looking at the return on sales, they show that in the next five years, the profit of Noah would be high because the company will benefit from the rupiah that will be greatly discounted against the yuan. For instance, by 2015, the Indonesia rupiah would be approximately 2050 to 1 Chinese yuan. If the IDR/CNY exchange rate will follow the fixed rate baseline assumptions the profitability of the company will increase and this will favor business. This means that the return on sales of China’s Noah would significantly increase on a yearly basis. 3. Assuming Noah made 6-month payments on its wood purchases from Indonesia, what is the schedule of foreign currency amounts over …show more content…

In 2008, the Global Financial Crisis broke out; both the American economy and the economy in the West suffered a hard blow. However, a big economy system in the East emerged unexpectedly. China is now able to challenge the America’s decades-long dominant position in economic area. Started during the middle of 1990s, China’s manufacturing industry developed rapidly that billions of exports were floating out, and China was given the title of “the world’s factory”(BBC). By the end of 2010, China with a GDP of $5.8 trillion, surpassed Japan’s GDP of $5.48 trillion, became the world’s second largest economy system (BBC). China also exceeded Japan became America’s largest foreign securities holder. Since then, China has been seen as the US’s biggest opponent in economic field. Some economists even say that in 10 years, China will be the same size as the US economy. No matter whether China is going to reach the US’s economy size in 10 years or not, after forty years since the US first opened trade with China in 1972, America’s economy gradually relies on China’s economy and will collapse without the strength of China’s market.
In 1978, China was positioned 32nd on the planet in export volume, yet it had multiplied its reality exchange and got thirteenth biggest exporter in 1989. Between 1978 and 1990, the normal yearly rate of exchange extension was over 15 percent,[11] and a high rate of development proceeded for the one decade from now. In 1978 its exported on the in the world of the overall industry was insignificant, in 1998 regardless it had short of what 2%, however by 2010, it had a world piece of the overall industry of 10.4% as stated by the World Trade Organization (WTO), with stock fare offers of more than $1.5 trillion, the most astounding in the world.
With the development of China, the economy of China has become the World’s second largest after the US. On the other hand, the ...
China has been the fastest growing economy in the last thirty years. Its contributions to the global economic growth are substantial. China is the second largest exporter and holds the largest foreign currency reserve in hand. China's account surplus reached 11% of its GDP as of 2008. All of these successful and positive economic indicators increased the global expectations of China. Even though China was extremely responsive in its own borders, during the 2008 G2 submit, China displayed very low-key appearance in front of the world. Moreover, China was still artificially devaluating its currency to sustain its trade surplus, and increasing unnecessary tax cut/incentives on a large number of goods to encourage the exports to be more competitive in pricing. China’s policies were the great indicators that it did not display enough effort to show its global leadership role.
The massive increase in the Chinese trading relations was fueled by the United States in the year 1979 through the normal trade relations between the two countries. In addition, the Chinese non-concession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the year 2001 also facilitated its trading activities with different countries including the United States (Kaplan, 57). However, trading relations with the Chinese have been uneasy resulting from the massive trade imbalances in the recent past, which grows exponentially. The protectionist policies of the United States especially in Washington and Beijing have been putting pressure on the Chinese to revalue their currency as well as protecting it from counterfeits, which may be of adverse effects to the trading relations. This paper gives a comprehensive discussion on the foreign trade relations with china. It further gives an elaborate discussion on the impacts of foreign tr...
As one of the largest countries, china may attract a lot of attentions from the westerner and major countries in the Asia. The fast development of China economics can be seen from the GDP growth. However the growth of GDP is quite fluctuated, China economic was unstable which can be observed in some periods such as Cultural revolutions and the economic overheated in 1993. Moreover, there is a ten years of golden time for China to enjoying the prosperity of economic development since china entered in WTO. As a result, China has an average of 9 percent of GDP growth in last decade.
The case explains unique challenge of currency exchange that vehicle manufacturers Hyundai and Kia face. Both manufacturers heavily rely on the sale of their vehicles in the United States. In 2006, when the South Korean currency’s value rose, and the U.S. dollar fell, it meant that vehicles sold in the U.S. were not worth as much when the profit was transferred back into won. Despite growing sales, in 2006 both companies recorded a loss due to this conundrum. To combat this, Hyundai and Kia opened manufacturing plants in the U.S. This allows the companies to produce vehicles in either location, and production can be shifted depending upon currency values (Hill, 2011).
According to The Star Online, up to 80% of the total group borrowings of RM7.49 billion were denominated in US dollar. Simultaneously, 8% of the total group borrowings were denominated in Euro currency. In other words, the total debt of the group that denominated in US currency worth at US$1.33 billion, approximately cost at RM5.91 billion. The total debt that denominated in Euro currency cost around €129.8 million, approximately cost at RM610.61 million. The high composition of debt in foreign currency caused the group extremely vulnerable to foreign exchange risk. A sensitivity analysis conducted by CIMB Research revealed that IOI could face RM148 million of loss or gain for foreign exchange translation risk with every RM0.10 rise/drop in Ringgit to US dollar exchange rate. Due to substantial losses on foreign exchange translation and fair value loss on derivative loss, the company predicted that the second quarter net profit of 2017 will be dropped by 98% to RM15.6 million, compared to the first quarter net profit recorded at RM703.7 million (Kok, 2017). Thus, foreign exchange risk is considered as high risk for

During this period, global consumer price inflation presented a trend of fluctuation reduction. According to World Bank data (2015), world real GDP growth slightly which is from 2.4 to 3.3 in 2012-2016. Moreover, weaker investment environment lead to the job creation rate decrease of 1.4% every year after 2011, the unemployment rate is high correspondingly (world economic situation prospects 2016). Industrial commodities like energy, metals and minerals both decline more than 35 each from the beginning of 2011 to the end of 2014 and this trend will continue (World Bank 2015). Meanwhile, China as the world’s largest exporter and the second largest importer country, economic growth becomes slowing than before (Chen 2016).

The rise in China from a poor, stagnant country to a major economic power within a time span of twenty-eight years is often described by analysts as one of the greatest success stories in these present times. With China receiving an increase in the amount of trade business from many countries around the world, they may soon be a major competitor to surpass the U.S. China became the second largest economy, last year, overtaking Japan which had held that position since 1968 (Gallup). China could become the world’s largest economy in decades.

On the contrary, decrease in a dollar rate serves as the powerful tool promoting growth of the American export and a pushing off of competitors of the USA in foreign markets. At the same time import to the USA owing to effect of a rise in prices restrains. Thus, for the USA changes in the exchange rate of dollar anyway bring benefits and advantages.Reduction of leading positions of the USA in world economy is assisted by the international role of dollar which remains the main reserve and settlement means in world monetary system. Foreign currency reserves of the central banks of other countries for 61% consist of dollars, nearly 2/3 calculations in world trade are carried out in dollars; the dollar serves as a measure of value of many important goods (for example: oil) in the world market; in dollars 3/4 international bank crediting is made (Aleksandr Popov).
