TPP18-03 NSW Government Foreign Exchange Risk Policy

This policy has been replaced by TPP21-14

The NSW Government Foreign Exchange Risk Policy sets out the core requirements and relevant guidance for Government Entities to manage foreign exchange (FX) risk exposures, including those exposures arising before or after committing to a sale, purchase, or certain other government transactions. The Policy applies to all Government Entities, other than where FX exposures are part of a Government Entity’s approved investment strategy within the scope of its investment powers, from 1 July 2018. This Policy replaces and supersedes the FX risk policy contained in the Treasury Management Policy (TPP07-07), taking effect from 1 July 2018. The remainder of that policy remains unchanged. The policy should be read in conjunction with the TCorp Execution Framework which provides guidance to Government Entities in relation to identifying and hedging FX risk in accordance with the Policy.
