MFX Currencies

MFX can offer hedging in many currencies and maturities which are not covered by commercial banks. Based on its partnerships with TCX and banks, MFX can provide currency hedging in a majority of microfinance markets, as long as there is a liquid local benchmark interest rate such as a T-bill or Interbank rate. We can offer hedging of these currencies into USD Euro and other hard currencies.

Below is a list of current available currencies and their respective local benchmarks used for pricing. If the currency is not listed, please contact MFX for further information. This chart is provided for information purposes only. It may differ from the text present in the confirmations.
