The growth of the international business offers the chance for companies to enter new markets in order to increase their revenues. The transactions in foreign currencies are influenced by the impacts of the volatility of the exchange rates in the sense that an unfavorable evolution of the exchange rates can result in a considerable loss. The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process, the strategy and the overall importance of the management of the foreign exchange risk in the context of an international company. The theoretical part introduces foreign exchange rates, three types of the foreign exchange risks and it further focuses on the basic techniques used for measuring the risk and the methods for its management. The practical part focuses not only on the foreign exchange risk management for the company's global level, but also on providing a detailed analysis of the foreign exchange impact on its three subsidiaries.

Exchange rates are one of the most essential determinants of a country's economic performance in terms of level of trade. Since the exchange rate is one of the best indicators of competitiveness, this study sought to examine the behaviour of the rand against other emerging countries in the South African exchange market. The study explored the trends and estimated the forecasting accuracy of six currency markets using ARCH-family and Random walk models over the period 1994 to 2013.The six currency markets examined were the Rand/Dollar, Rand/Pound, Rand/Euro, Rand/Yen and Rand/Pula. The Rand exchange rates did exhibit the characteristics of volatility clustering and asymmetric effects suggesting volatility of the Rand. Exchange rates tend to rise when there is more bad news in the financial market than good news and positive shocks imply a higher next period conditional variance than negative shocks of the same sign.

This master thesis examines mutual relations between components of the balance of payments and the foreign exchange rate. The first part briefly describes the structure of the balance of payments and the theory of the foreign exchange rate as a macro-economical variable, which can be seen in many different systems. The next part brings the characteristics of historic and recent economic conditions and challenges of four selected countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC). In the empirical part, relations between components of the balance of payments and the development of the exchange rate are analyzed by methods of the linear regression. The time-series consisted of annual data for a period of fifteen to seventeen years.

This diploma thesis is focused on analysis of foreign exchange reserves of central banks. The first part of the work explains the most important theoretical concepts, that are necessary for further understanding of the topic of the work.

It will be also discussed about a new trend that is known as accumulation of foreign exchange reserves and about the sourcrces, the lead to accumulation. The following part explains in detail the concept of reserves currency and tells about the currency structure of reserves. The empirical part will be devoted to the analysis and management of the foreign exchange reserve in Israel.
