Transaction Exposure

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Corporate Finance » Transaction Exposure

Transaction exposure is defined as the risk that a company faces due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time a transaction is initiated and settled. This exposure affects the cash flows of businesses engaged in international trade, as it can lead to gains or losses when foreign currency-denominated transactions are converted into the domestic currency. Effective management of transaction exposure is crucial for maintaining financial stability.
