Swap/Outright

While the spot markets usually occupy the limelight in the context of currency developments, the forward (SWAP) markets have an important place of their own. Forward markets are a function of interest rate differentials between currencies. They are used for covering or hedging, for the financing of positions, for the creation of alternative sources of liquidity or simply for taking a view on interest rate movements. We are equipped to provide our clientele with competitive prices for whatever purposes required.
