| jingie | Corporate has to make the decision whether to lock in the exchange rate now or later. It downside risk is that the pound will appreciate against the dollar and make the transaction more expensive. |
| jayj001 | foreign liability => risk is foreign appreciating |

| To-be-CFA | Risk would only increase with increase in exchange rate. |
