Corporates increase FX hedging

“While there will always be some [corporates] that don’t hedge their FX risk at all, those that haven’t are now considering doing so given recent market volatility and negative currency impacts.

“Those corporates that already had formal hedging programmes in place are now increasing their hedge ratios to protect their bottom lines.”
