Currency Hedging for Platforms: Forwards and FX Options

Currency hedging can break at the platform level when teams choose instruments before they have a usable exposure map. This guide reverses that order. First, map cross-border inflows and outflows by `Currency Pair`. Then reduce what you can through `Natural Hedging`. Only then decide whether the remaining risk belongs in a `Currency Forward`, an `FX Option`, or no hedge at all.
