Accessing Liquidity

This sixth presentation turns to a critical but often overlooked part of managing FX risk: accessing liquidity. Recognising an exposure and deciding to hedge it is only the first step—actually securing the credit lines and market access needed to execute that hedge can be challenging, time-consuming, and sometimes costly. This session aims to demystify how liquidity works and what market participants can do to obtain it efficiently.

In this presentation, we’ll cover:

• What liquidity really is, and why its availability matters for pricing, execution, and risk management

• How trading lines support access to liquidity, including the role of credit, limits, and banking relationships

• The practical steps involved in opening accounts and establishing the infrastructure needed to tap into market liquidity effectively

This instalment continues the series’ practical progression, helping participants move from understanding FX risks to ensuring they have the tools, relationships, and access required to manage those risks in the real world.
