Abstract

After the 811 exchange rate reform in China, for one thing, the exchange rate formation mechanism has caused the RMB exchange rate to break through the ten-year appreciation against the dollar. For another, RMB began to fluctuate significantly. As a result of this change, Chinese foreign-related companies have suffered large exchange losses during this period of time, and their foreign exchange risk management capabilities need to be strengthened urgently. In this paper, the foreign exchange risk management strategies were analyzed through a literature review and case study of the multinational company ABB. Besides, solutions for Chinese multinational companies were provided to deal with foreign exchange risks. To strengthen the management of a company, enhancing the awareness of foreign exchange risks and building a risk management platform are recommended methods.
