Decentralized Social Media Finds A Foothold
Companies may face too many options for brand messaging.
NEW YORK, November 16, 2016 — Global Finance magazine has named its seventeenth annual World's Best FX Providers in 93 countries and seven global regions, as well as the best banks for corporate currency hedging, the best online FX platforms and the best providers of FX research in an exclusive survey to be published in the January 2017 issue.
Criteria for choosing the FX Providers winners included transaction volume, market share, scope of global coverage, customer service, competitive pricing and innovative technologies. Global Finance also considered input from industry analysts, corporate executives and technology specialists.
For the first time, Global Finance has also named its Corporate FX Awards honorees, covering Foreign Exchange management in four global and seven regional categories.
Criteria for the Corporate FX Awards included clearly defined risk management policies, handling of crisis situations, measurement of FX exposure, and cost of hedging. The main objective of FX risk management is to minimize losses, and not to seek profit from currency movements.
"The global turmoil of recent years shows no signs of abating, with dramatic incidents such as the UK's Brexit vote or the US election of Donald Trump having major impact on currencies. The winners of these awards have been successful in navigating these minefields." said Joseph D. Giarraputo, publisher and editorial director of Global Finance.
The complete list of Global Finance's World's Best FX Providers and the Best Corporate FX Awards 2017 can be found on the following pages.
