Explanation:
For example, an international business entity who sells goods and services cannot transact to
other foreign companies, customers and suppliers if the currency that they are using is not
acceptable or cannot be used by those people who are involved in the business. So what they
need to do is to first have their domestic currency converted into the foreign currency for them
to be able to use the money to continue the business transactions inside their own respective
countries.
Another example of foreign exchange trading process is through the remittance of our OFWs.
Since OFWs work abroad, ang pera o ang kita na natatanggap nila ay for example US Dollars,
kapag nagreremit sila ng pera sa mga remittance center or banks dito sa Pilipinas nangyayari na
yung foreign exchange trading process kung saan yung pera nila in dollars will be converted into
Philippine Peso, which is the legal tender that we use here in the Philippines.
Explanation:
Before a regional bank doesn’t have the power to be involved in the foreign processes, they
depend or rely on the big money center banks before dealing with trades. But now, like what I
have mentioned a while ago the emergence of electronic trading has been the key for them para
magkameron na din sila ng access and directly makapag-transact sa kanilang foreign clients and
sa mga international markets and entities like Bloomberg, Thomas Reuters, or EBS.
Despite this, the greatest volume of foreign-exchange activity takes place with the big money
center banks. Because of their reach and volume, they are the ones that set the prices in global
trading of foreign exchange.
The following are the three (3) of the best known exchanges:
1. CME Group- CME Group Inc. is an American global markets company. It is the world's
largest financial derivatives exchange, and trades in asset classes that include
agricultural products, currencies, energy, interest rates, metals, stock indexes and
crypto currencies futures.
2. NASDAQ OMX- is an American multinational financial services corporation that owns
and operates three stock exchanges in the United States: Nasdaq stock exchange, the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange, and the Boston Stock Exchange, and seven European stock
exchanges. It is headquartered in New York City.
3. ICE (International Exchange) - operates global exchanges, clearing houses and provides
mortgage technology, data and listing services. The company owns exchanges for
financial and commodity markets, and operates regulated exchanges and marketplaces.
Explanation:
Those are the global companies that are known for exchanging stocks, products and other things
in the global market which is most likely the reason why they have been entitled as the best-
known exchanges.
Explanation:
This usually happens in every company or businesses na merong connection towards other
foreign companies. For example, Company A which is a local company buys some of its supplies
to Company B which is a Foreign Company Supplier. Dahil magkaiba sila ng locations ng
company, they need to make adjustments when it comes to the payment process. They usually
use cheques like drafts or bill of exchange para mas mabilis na transactions despite the
differences of the locations. It can either be done in a bank na ginagamit nila sa kanilang
businesses or via electronic means.
Documentary drafts and documentary letters of credit are often used to protect both the buyer
and the seller. They require that payment be made based on the presentation of documents
conveying the title, and they leave an audit trail identifying the parties to the transactions.
Explanation:
These documentary drafts and documentary letters of credit daw po ay yung parang
international payment instrument na ang purpose ay to make sure na ang buyer ay magbabayad
tas si seller ay matatanggap ang bayad through the use of those instruments.
Sight Draft- it is type of bill of exchange or draft made if the exporter requests payment to be
made immediately. A sight draft requires payment to be made when it is presented.
Explanation:
Kapag sight draft daw po ang binigay ay nasa exporter pa din yung title ng goods tsaka lang
mapupunta ang title ng goods sa importer kapag na-receive at nabayadan na.
Time Draft- a financial instrument use if the payment is to be made later. (say, 30 days after
delivery).
- A type of payment document whereby a buyer accepts shipped goods and agrees to pay the
seller at a specified future date.
Explanation:
Unlike sight draft na payable immediately ang time draft naman ay pedeng madelay or pedeng
hindi muna agad bayadan kase may specified na date kung kelan pede bayadan.
Letter of Credits- obligates the buyer’s bank in the importing country to honor a draft presented
to it, provided that the draft is accompanied by the prescribed documents. For the L/C to be
valid, all of the conditions described in the documents must be adhered to.
-obligates the buyer’s bank to honor a draft presented to it and assume payment; a credit
relationship exists between the importer and the importer’s bank
Explanation:
Before daw po mahonor ang letter of credits, kailangan muna na mameet yung requirements
and documents needed ng party na involved para ma-make sure na kaya nilang bayadan yung
kanilang na-acquire at para maiwasan ang mga frauds ganern.
-In addition, letters of credit are irrevocable, which means they cannot be cancelled or changed
in any way without the consent of all parties to the transaction.
-A letter of credit must specify or state the currency of the contract. If the L/C is not in the
exporter’s currency, the exporter will have to convert the foreign exchange into that currency as
soon as it is received. (Since magkaiba ng currency , kailangan muna nila malaman kung
macoconvert ba yung pera na binayad sa kanila para magamit nila in their business operations)
Managers must understand how governments set an exchange rate and what causes it to change.
Such understanding can help them anticipate exchange rate changes and make decisions about
business factors that are sensitive to those changes, such as the sourcing of raw materials and
components, the placement of manufacturing and assembly, and the choice of final markets.
Explanation:
Ang International Monetary Fund daw ay isang organization na nakakatulong na magpromote o
mag-encourage ng international trade, which is a good advantage pag dating sa foreign
exchange kase mas lumalawak yung scope ng mga bansa na naiinvolve sa iba’t-ibang global
businesses. Tapos, nakakatulong din sila sa economic growth ng isang bansa.
Explanation:
Ang example po ng Special Drawing Rights ngayon ay nong nakatanggap ang Philippines from
International Monetary Fund worth of 2.6 Billion Dollars para makatulong sa Philippines na
makarecover sa Corona Virus.
In short, ang Special Drawing Rights ay yung asset na binibigay ng IMF sa kanilang members na
country para makatulong sa global economic system at para maiwasan ang external debt.
