问题如下:
Counterparty A is an American company with manufacturing operations in Indonesia and its main customers in the United States, while counterparty B is an American company that manufactures its goods domestically and exports solely to Indonesia. Which one of the following transactions with either counterparty will be a wrong-way exposure for a bank?
选项:
A. A five-year plain-vanilla IDR/USD
cross-currency swap between the bank and counterparty A where the bank is USD
interest rate receiver
B. A five-year plain-vanilla IDR/USD
currency option sold by the bank to counterparty A for it to buy IDR at a
certain rate
C. A five-year plain-vanilla IDR/USD
cross-currency swap between the bank and counterparty B where the bank is USD
interest rate receiver
D. A five-year plain-vanilla IDR/USD
currency option bought by the bank from counterparty B for the bank to buy IDR
at a certain rate
解释:
C is correct. This is an example of a wrong-way exposure, where a gain on the instrument for the bank is associated with a higher probability of default (PD) for its counterparty. If the IDR depreciates, counterparty A will make a profit because its costs will go down in dollars; conversely for counterparty B, because its dollar revenues will decrease. Under c., the company pays USD and receives IDR. This transaction will create a loss if the IDR depreciates. In this situation, counterparty B will lose money as well on its exports. Hence, this is a wrong-way trade.
