| (CCIRS). A longer term derivative contract which is used to transform longer term interest rate-related obligations or assets in one currency, into another currency.
| | The exchange of goods, services or capital across international borders or territories. |
|
| |
|
| For example, a GBP-based firm with a USD borrowing might use a CCIRS to transform the USD borrowing into a synthetic GBP borrowing.
| |
|
| |
| The concept of a CCIRS was developed from the (same-currency) interest rate swap market, which most commonly swaps fixed and floating interest rate streams in the same currency.
| |
|
| |
| Same currency interest rate swaps exchange interest flows in the same currency (but calculated on different bases).
| |
| Cross currency interest rate swaps exchange interest flows denominated in different currencies.
| |
| Cross currency interest rate swaps usually exchange currency principal amounts at their maturity (unlike same-currency interest rate swaps).
| |
|
| |
| Also known as Currency interest rate swap or Foreign currency swap.
