Group Research Assignment Preparation Instructions

You are required, as a group, to select an MNC (preferably a Saudi-based or a Gulf-based) and analyze your selected MNC’s financial health in general and its forex operations in particular where it utilizes various forms of hedging against its foreign transaction exposure as well as its economic and translation exposure, if any.

Required:

For your chosen MNC, you must undertake a comprehensive analysis of its financial outlook, before discussing the hedging tools it applies when it comes to its transaction exposure.

The required analysis must apply as much course material as possible, drawing from the relevant lecture material as well as other secondary sources of information relating to the selected MNC.

Note that it is expected and required that groups conduct secondary research from online sources. Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable academic reference for this assignment.

Without being prescriptive, your assignment should consider, among other things in the context of international finance, the MNC’s key financial indicators that may encourage or discourage it from hedging in the international financial markets.

It is expected that considerable effort will be made on researching the MNC; this could be time consuming. You are encouraged to ensure the MNC chosen provides sufficient published material that will enable the completion of the assignment.
