Why a treasurer runs it

Hedge the material currencies, not the small ones.

USD-equivalent normalisation.

Every destination currency normalised to USD-equivalent value. The output is comparable across the trade book regardless of headline FX rates.

Material threshold surfaced.

Currencies above 1% of trade are flagged as material. Currencies above 5% trigger the hedging-priority workflow with an estimated notional.

Volatility band overlay.

Each currency's historical USD volatility folds in. A 10% ZAR exposure with 20% historical volatility is a different hedge than 10% GBP exposure with 8% volatility.

Concentration check.

If non-USD exposure is concentrated in a small set of currencies, the hedging book is straightforward. If it is spread across 20+ currencies, the cost of hedging exceeds the saving on most positions.

The 2024 destination-currency map is concentrated on five buckets. USD leads at $2.5B (United States), GBP at $348M, EUR at $430M aggregate (France $273M, Germany $157M). The emerging-market exposure is spread across ZAR ($250M), NGN ($225M), BRL ($196M), TRY ($174M), RUB ($171M), PHP ($192M), KES ($181M), NPR ($165M), and AED ($156M). Hedging the top five non-USD currencies covers roughly 22% of the trade book; hedging the next five adds another 10%. Empagliflozin destinations split across EUR, BRL, and AED, so the hedge book on empagliflozin alone benchmarks well against the portfolio average.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Is the trade priced in destination currency or USD?+

Trade declarations are denominated in USD by convention, but the cash flow on the destination side is in local currency. The page maps the USD-equivalent exposure so a treasury team can quantify how much of the book is exposed to non-USD FX risk.

What counts as a hedgeable position?+

PharmaDB's default is a currency that accounts for 5%+ of the trade book and has at least 10% annualised USD volatility. Currencies below the size threshold rarely pay back the hedging cost; currencies below the volatility threshold rarely need it.

Why is EUR aggregated across countries?+

Several Eurozone destinations (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) share the same currency. The page aggregates them into one EUR bucket so the hedging book reads correctly. The country-level detail is preserved in the underlying view.

How does this connect to pricing?+

An FX move that's not passed through to local prices erodes margin on the destination side. The currency-exposure view sits next to the API price benchmark distribution so the pricing team can model both signals together.

Does this work for FDF trade too?+

Yes. The currency aggregation is destination-driven; both API and FDF trade roll up to the same currency buckets. FDF often pays back hedging better because the price stickiness on the destination side is higher.

How fresh is the data?+

Trade aggregates refresh monthly. Currency aggregation recomputes on every refresh. The catalog row carries the last-computed timestamp surfaced on every result page.
