Today, amid the broader trend of economic globalization, both small and medium-sized enterprises and large multinational corporations face increasing international competition. How to address foreign exchange risk during international market expansion has become a critical issue that businesses need to confront.

On November 21, the "CTHK Hong Kong Treasury Conference," hosted by Corporate Treasurer, the most influential financial media outlet in the Asia-Pacific region, and sponsored by KVB Kunlun International as an invited partner, was held with great ceremony at The Ritz-Carlton. As an expert in corporate foreign exchange and treasury management, KVB Kunlun International hosted an interactive workshop themed "A Thriving Path to Overseas Expansion — How Enterprises Can Reduce Foreign Exchange Risk," sharing corporate foreign exchange risk management experience and hedging solutions with attendees.

This edition of the "CTHK Hong Kong Treasury Conference" gathered nearly 200 chief financial officers and management professionals from various industries. Adopting a brand-new event format that combined keynote speeches, panel discussions, and advanced treasury training classes tailored for corporate finance and treasury leaders, it took an in-depth look at how modern treasury departments can redefine their value within the enterprise.

In the themed workshop, Amber Cheng, Global Trading Director of KVB Kunlun International Global Capital, noted that uncertainty in the foreign exchange market has been increasing year by year. As enterprises "go global," they need to pay particular attention to foreign exchange risk—especially when making overseas investments, where currency risk can erode all investment profits. Zhou Youjing, Trading Manager of KVB Kunlun International Global Capital, analyzed that, taking as an example a large insurance company's allocation of commercial property assets in the UK, from mid-2014 to 2016, UK housing prices rose 11%, but the exchange rate of the pound against the US dollar fell by 15%. As a result, although the company reaped considerable gains on the investment itself, currency risk wiped out its investment returns.
