Interest Rate Swaps

• Interest Rate Swaps “IRS” is the exchange of a fixed interest payments rate for floating rate payments, or vice versa.
• Under the IRS, customer’s floating rate obligations will be exchanged with fixed-rate obligations through paying a fixed interest to the bank.
• IRS is usually contracted to secure the future commitments of customers through:
• Fixing the interest rate of each instalment; therefore, avoiding the fluctuations of the interest rate market
• Fully assessing future commitments
• Optimum certainty of the outgoing cash flow at different commitment dates

FX Forward Contracts:

A Forward Exchange Contract is a special type of foreign currency transaction. Forward Contracts are agreements between two parties (the bank and the client) to exchange two designated currencies at a specific time in the future. Such a product helps the client to protect against potential fx fluctuations.
