Abstract

[eng] The Effects of the Dollar's Variations for a Multinational Company . Having described the different channels (profits, balance sheets and market value) through which the multinational actors are affected by the variations of the dollar, the authors recall that the structural exposure of the insurance companies to the currency risk, even if limited by specific characteristics, is far from being negligible. Then, they detail the hedging strategy of the Axa group, whose net worth is for an important part in foreign currencies, mainly dollars, and whose half of the profits are realized in foreign currencies (25% dollars). Since 2001, the exposure of Axa to the currency risk is hedged by a voluntary and multicriteria strategy, closely monitored by governance mechanisms. . Classification JEL : F23, F31, G12, G22 [fre] Après avoir décrit les canaux (profits, bilans et valeur de marché) par lesquels les grands acteurs multinationaux sont impactés par les variations du dollar, les auteurs rappellent que si certaines caractéristiques des compagnies d'assurance limitent leur exposition structurelle au risque de change, celle-ci n'en reste pas moins non négligeable. Ils détaillent ensuite la stratégie de couverture du groupe Axa dont une part importante de la valeur d'actif net est libellée en devises autres que l'euro, surtout en dollars, et dont environ 50 % des résultats sont réalisés en devises (25 % en dollars). Depuis 2001, l'exposition du groupe au risque de change est couverte par une stratégie volontariste et multivolets, étroitement pilotée et contrôlée par des mécanismes de gouvernance. . Classification JEL : F23, F31, G12, G22
