Entrepot trade may generate foreign exchange. In entrepot trade, goods are transported from the producing country to the consuming country, but the transaction may involve multiple currencies. For example, a Chinese trader A purchases goods from the United States and resells them to a Brazilian customer. A may settle with the US supplier in US dollars and with the Brazilian customer in Brazilian reals.
In this case, when A receives the real payment from the Brazilian customer and needs to pay the US supplier in US dollars, currency exchange is required, that is, foreign exchange is generated. Foreign exchange usually occurs in the payment and receipt processes. If the trader does not do a good job in exchange rate risk management in advance, exchange rate fluctuations may bring foreign exchange losses or gains. For example, if the exchange rate is high when receiving the real payment and the exchange rate drops when exchanging US dollars to pay the payment, losses may occur. Therefore, entrepot trade enterprises should pay attention to exchange rate risks and do a good job in relevant management.
