cross currency swaption pricing

March 15th, 2003, 5:23 pm

Currency swaption is an option to pay or to receive (or to enter the swap as payer or as receiver) the fixed rate in a cross currency swap. It’s a variant on the standard currency or irs in which the interest rate in one currency is fixed, and the interest rate in the other is floating.Also called a circus swap where the currencies of the two legs are different.On maturity of swap there is an exchange of principals , and this could give rise to some sort of currency risk.A company could raise money in any market and swap proceeds into the currency that it requires. For details regarding pricing se paper attached, rgds.
