Exchange Rate Risk
The risk that the value of an investment may be diminished by movements in the exchange rate on a foreign currency.
The exchange risk associated with a foreign denominated instrument is a key element in foreign investment. This risk flows from differential monetary policy and growth in real productivity, which results in differential inflation rates.
