Dr Ajay Sahai, Director General & CEO expressed the need for awareness creation among the members of FIEO, who are largely exporters & importers about the various platforms available on National Stock Exchange for price risk management and hedging their commodities, Currency & Interest rate risk. Such an initiative, at a time when there is huge volatility in currencies and Rupee breaching new marks every day and the global trade is plagued with uncertainty, is the most timely. He also stressed the need for awareness for NSE’s EMERGE platform for raising equity capital as an effective alternative for raising capital to address the increasing cost of borrowing as interest rates are moving northward.
