Client Challenges

  • The client wanted to develop an FX fair value model for major FX pairs to determine whether any currency pair was undervalued or overvalued compared to its long-term fair value.
  • The bank also wanted to develop a quantitative method to predict how long would it take for the actual FX price to converge to its fair value

Our Approach

  • Used a behavioural equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) approach
  • Identified four significant predictors of FX rates
  • Conducted cross-sectional OLS regression for individual FX pairs
  • Conducted panel regression for G10 currencies
  • Used the vector error correction model (VECM) to calculate speed of convergence to fair value and forecast foreign exchange rate movements
  • Used R and Python for model development

Value delivered

  • Developed a stable and robust FX fair value model to estimate fair value and predict FX price movements in the medium to long term
  • Skilled manpower at a fraction of the global cost
