Managing financial risk

The interest on your borrowing can be affected by interest rate fluctuations. Any contracts you have tied into inflation can be affected by the rate of inflation changing - and even the basket of goods basis on which it's calculated changing.

And, if you're buying or selling overseas, continual changes in exchange rates can have a significant impact on your bottom line.
