Foreign Exchange: Risk, Cost or Competitive Advantage in Volatile Markets?

20 May 2026

 

International trade is becoming increasingly unpredictable.

From sudden currency swings to shifting trade agreements, sanctions and geopolitical uncertainty — foreign exchange risk is now a critical factor in protecting margins and maintaining competitiveness.

This short, practical webinar will help you understand where things can go wrong — and what you can do about it.  

Delivered by Jackson Swiss Partners, specialists in foreign exchange and international payments, in partnership with Chamber International.

Where currency risk can impact your business

If your business trades internationally, you may already be exposed:

  • Agreeing a price with a customer — only for exchange rates to move before payment is received
  • Paying overseas suppliers and facing unexpected cost increases
  • Managing multiple currencies across different markets
  • Attending trade missions or entering new markets without a clear FX strategy
  • Struggling to forecast costs and protect margins in volatile conditions

Even small currency movements can have a significant impact on profitability.

What this webinar will cover

In just 30 minutes, we will provide a clear and practical overview of:

  • Understanding currency risk and how it affects international transactions
  • Where businesses are most exposed in today’s global trade environment
  • Practical strategies to manage and mitigate FX risk
  • How businesses are improving visibility and control over international payments

Exclusive follow-up opportunity

Attendees will also be offered a free 30-minute 1-to-1 consultation on 21 May, providing:

  • A tailored review of your current FX exposure
  • Insight into potential cost savings
  • Practical guidance specific to your business and markets

As one of our Chamber members, you will also be able to take advantage of a 6-month fixed FX margin agreement, providing greater cost certainty, protection against short-term fluctuations, and improved cash flow planning.
