Is it true that the difference between Forward Contracts and FRA is that:
Forward rates are used to buy & sell Foreign Currency because of exchange rate changes in future; whereas FRA is used to BORROW or LEND because of interest rate changes in future.
Please correct me that FRA is used to BORROW or LEND Foreign Currency or Local Currency?

Forward Contracts and FRA
5y ago#1Forward rates apply to foreign currency and fixe a future exchange rate.
FRA's are nothing to do with foreign currency and are use to fix the interest rate on future borrowings or deposits.
