Every day, African oil and gas businesses lose millions to FX fluctuations they can't see coming. We help you navigate this complexity with precision treasury solutions.
When you price crude in USD but settle in Naira, Kwanza, or Cedi, every percentage point of currency movement directly impacts your margins. A 15% devaluation means 15% less revenue—even when oil prices stay stable.
Energy deals often have 30-90 day settlement windows. During this period, African currencies can swing 10-25% against the dollar. What looked profitable at signing can become a loss at payment.
While European and American energy firms have sophisticated FX hedging, African businesses face limited access to currency derivatives, forward contracts, and other protection mechanisms.
When governments remove fuel subsidies, currencies typically devalue sharply. Nigeria 2023, Egypt 2024—the pattern repeats. Businesses caught unprepared see margins evaporate overnight.
Operating across Nigeria, Angola, Ghana means managing multiple currency exposures simultaneously. Each country has different regulations, volatility patterns, and market dynamics.
Major international banks and trading houses have dedicated FX teams monitoring African currencies 24/7. Smaller operators are left guessing, often learning about devaluations after the fact.
We analyze your current FX exposure across all African markets you operate in. This includes settlement timings, currency pairs, and historical volatility impacts on your margins.
Based on your exposure, we develop tailored strategies using available hedging instruments, optimal settlement timing, and currency pair selection to minimize risk.
FX markets change constantly. We continuously monitor African currency movements, policy changes, and market signals to adjust your strategy before problems arise.
When opportunities arise or risks materialize, we help you execute the right moves—whether that's accelerating settlements, restructuring deals, or accessing hedging instruments.
Let's discuss how we can protect your energy deals from currency risk across Nigeria, Angola, Ghana, and beyond.
