    Dear Sir,

    In foreign exchange risk…. if we use matching doesn’t it mean that there will be tie situation, no gain no loss, ?

    That is the aim of all the methods of attempting to manage foreign exchange risk!

    (and don’t call it a concept – its not a concept but a method that might be applicable)

    So sir, if A is expecting to receive $100 from country X in few months time.
    In matching method, if A want to safeguard himself from future exchange rate movements A can borrow money of same amount of $100 and then convert it to their local currency.When A is about to receive from his customer he can pay off the loan from that amount. Am I right?

    Is it same as Market hedging ?

    Regards

    This is money market hedging (it isn’t matching – to see what matching is you should look at the lecture notes / watch the lecture. You will not be asked arithmetic on matching. The only calculations will be on money market hedging and using forward rates.)
