摘要:Currency fluctuations became a daily habit of nowadays financial markets and their impact can be felt in all companies,from the mere domestic ones to the transnational corporations with intricate businesses around the world. Our paper investigates the economic exposure to currency risk for a number of 20 companies from Romania and Croatia,between 2006 and 2011,on a shortterm and long-term perspective. The results picture a different image regarding these companies’ exposure either to the Euro and the US dollar. We find that Romanian companies are more exposed to unexpected changes in the value of their national currency against both the Euro and the US dollar compared to Croatian companies,with the exposure more pregnant over the longterm. This may be explained by the exchange rate regime applicable to both currencies: a managed floating for the Romanian currency and a more controlled rate for the Croatian currency.
