Hello Prof! In your lecture regarding the above topic, one example you have provided regarding matching involves us borrowing money. I understand how the income and the interest expense will net each other off, but wouldnt the borrowed money be exposed to exchange risk as well?
Also sir,isnt the timing a major factor in matching? If our income and expense arent made in the same exact time and the exchange rates have changed, the net effect wont be 0 right?
Thanks a lot!
Borrowing money is part of money market hedging (not matching), and the purpose to to fix an effective exchange rate.
Your second comment is true, but it will still reduce the risk.
