Economic Exposure is a type of foreign exchange exposure caused by the effect of unexpected currency fluctuations on a company’s future cash flows, foreign investments, and earnings. We are building an application that provides companies with a comprehensive source of data on economic exposure and its sources.It arises when a firm has assets or liabilities in different currencies. For example, if an American company owns real estate in Europe with ten-year lease contracts that are not denominated in U.S. dollars (USD), then this company has economic exposure to the euro (EUR).Economic exposure reflects the risk of an adverse change in foreign exchange rates which may adversely impact a company’s future cash flows, foreign investments and earnings. A higher economic exposure indicates that stronger currency will benefit the firm.For example, if a company receives income in foreign currency, it has to convert it into local currency for paying out dividends.
