Sources of Short-Term Financing
• Euronotes are unsecured debt securities with typical maturities of 1, 3 or 6 months. They are underwritten by commercial banks.
• MNCs may also issue Euro-commercial papers to obtain short-term financing.
• MNCs utilize direct Eurobank loans to maintain a relationship with the banks too.

Internal Financing by MNCs
• Before an MNC’s parent or subsidiary searches for outside funding, it should determine if any internal funds are available.
• Parents of MNCs may also raise funds by increasing their markups on the supplies that they send to their subsidiaries.

Why MNCs ConsiderForeign Financing
• An MNC may finance in a foreign currency to offset a net receivables position in that foreign currency.
• An MNC may also consider borrowing foreign currencies when the interest rates on such currencies are attractive, so as to reduce the costs of financing.

Determining theEffective Financing Rate
The actual cost of financing depends on
the interest rate on the loan, and
the movement in the value of the borrowed currency over the life of the loan.

Effective financing rate, rf
= {( 1 + if ) St+1} – {1 St} = ( 1 + if )
St+1 – 1
{1 St} St
where if = the interest rate on the loanSt = beginning spot rate
St+1 = ending spot rate
Determining theEffective Financing Rate
The effective rate can be rewritten as rf = ( 1 + if ) ( 1 + ef ) – 1
where ef = the % in the spot rate

Criteria Considered forForeign Financing
• There are various criteria an MNC must consider in its financing decision, including¤ interest rate parity,¤ the forward rate as a forecast, and¤ exchange rate forecasts.
![Page 11: Short-Term Financing 20 Chapter South-Western/Thomson Learning © 2003.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c2de5550346a34f8b61cc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
B20 - 11
Criteria Considered forForeign Financing
Interest Rate Parity (IRP)
• If IRP holds, foreign financing with a simultaneous hedge of that position in the forward market will result in financing costs similar to those for domestic financing.

The Forward Rate as a Forecast
• If the forward rate is an unbiased predictor of the future spot rate, then the effective financing rate of a foreign loan will on average be equal to the domestic financing rate.

Exchange Rate Forecasts
• Firms may use exchange rate forecasts to forecast the effective financing rate of a foreign currency, or they may compute the break-even exchange rate that will equate the domestic and foreign financing rates.
• Sometimes, it may be useful to develop probability distributions, instead of relying on single point estimates.

Actual ResultsFrom Foreign Financing
• The fact that some firms utilize foreign financing suggests that they believe reduced financing costs can be achieved.

Financing with a Portfolio of Currencies
• While foreign financing can result in significantly lower financing costs, the variance in the costs is higher.
• MNCs may be able to achieve lower financing costs without excessive risk by financing with a portfolio of currencies.
![Page 18: Short-Term Financing 20 Chapter South-Western/Thomson Learning © 2003.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c2de5550346a34f8b61cc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
B20 - 18
Financing with a Portfolio of Currencies
• If the chosen currencies are not highly positively correlated, they will not be likely to experience a high level of appreciation simultaneously.
• Thus, the chances that the portfolio’s effective financing rate will exceed the domestic financing rate are reduced.
![Page 19: Short-Term Financing 20 Chapter South-Western/Thomson Learning © 2003.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062318/551c2de5550346a34f8b61cc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

• A firm that repeatedly finances in a currency portfolio will normally prefer to compose a financing package that exhibits a somewhat predictable effective financing rate on a periodic basis.
• When comparing different financing packages, the variance can be used to measure how volatile a portfolio’s effective financing rate is.

For a two-currency portfolio,
E(rP) = wAE(rA) + wBE(rB)
where rP = the effective financing rate of the portfolio
rX = the effective financing rate of currency X
wX = the % of total funds financed from currency X
