• Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

    • CA-9.7.3

      A forward foreign exchange position is decomposed into legs representing the paying and receiving currencies. Each of the legs is treated as if it were a zero coupon bond, with zero specific risk, in the relevant currency and included in the measurement framework as follows:

      (a) If the maturity method is used, each leg is included at the notional amount; and
      (b) If the duration method is used, each leg is included at the present value of the notional zero coupon bond.
