-Foreign exchange swap contract.
+An abbreviation for [[Foreign exchange swap]] contract.
-A short-dated composite agreement:
-#To exchange currencies at a fixed 'near leg' date (usually spot) and price, AND
-#To re-exchange the same related currencies and amounts at a later fixed 'far leg' date and price.
-The composite pricing of the FX swap is favourable for the price-taker, compared with the pricing of the two related outright contracts (for example for spot exchange and forward re-exchange of the same currency pair).
