Bulgaria: privatization, risk and reality

Article Abstract:

Bulgaria's transition from a centrally planned economy to a capitalist one is studied in the light of current local and foreign affairs. Although Bulgaria's hopes for foreign direct investment at the present, there is discipline and potential in the citizenry sufficient to establish a home-grown economy, the best form of privatization. Foreign investors are only waiting for the local economic scene to stabilize and Bulgaria's government can do much in the way of legislation to enourage industrial growth.

A comparison of the effectiveness of currency futures and currency options in the context of foreign exchange risk management

Article Abstract:

Currency futures or options may be used to reduce exchange rate risk although the former is generally recommended as hedge for covered positions while the latter, for uncovered positions. Using data from the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the International Monetary Market, currency futures is generally appropriate for hedging covered positions even with a mature market. However, both instruments show comparable effectiveness with uncovered positions without loss of hedging effectiveness.
