Foreign exchange and foreign trade · companies

The bank reports the total cost. It doesn't separate how much of it was spread.

Import, export, remittance or currency purchase: every transaction carries a margin built into the rate. Looked at one transaction at a time, it disappears in the statement. Added up over the year, it becomes a number that deserves a decision.

Calculation based on public Central Bank data. Nothing leaves your browser.

Estimate based on the closing PTAX (Central Bank of Brazil). The PTAX is a reference rate; it is not an exchange offer or a promise of savings. The final cost of a transaction includes IOF (Brazil's tax on financial transactions), fees and the contracted terms.

Foreign exchange is not an isolated decision

The rate is the visible part. The rest of the structure determines what it costs.

A foreign exchange transaction touches cash flow, currency hedging, credit and the partners' personal wealth. Looked at separately, each one makes sense. Looked at together, the overlaps show up.

01

Remittances and transactions

How much of the margin the company pays today is price, and how much is lack of comparison?

Imports, exports, remittances to and from abroad, buying and selling currency.

02

Currency hedging

Exporting producers and importers carry the dollar in their results. With or without a hedge, it is a decision.

Hedging instruments matched to the company's cash flow and the partners' risk appetite.

03

Cash, credit and partners

Are the company's cash and the partners' wealth really working together?
