Abstract

It is a known fact that in emerging economies, foreign exchange-based transactions are frequently used in order to achieve economic or financial growth in both country and firm size. As a result of transactions made based on foreign exchange, both countries and companies face exchange rate risk. It is investigated that the effects of the exchange rate risks and foreign exchange rate risk management on the performance of the firm for the Metal Goods, Machinery, Electrical Equipment and Transportation Vehicles Sector in this study. Yearly data for the years 2007-2019 were used in the study. According to the results of panel data analysis, it has been revealed that exchange rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk management reduce firm profitability but do not affect firm value. It was also found in the study that growth, liquidity, leverage and asset turnover are the determinants of foreign exchange risk and foreign exchange risk management. Because of the same results, it is understood that there is not much difference between the exchange rate risk and foreign exchange risk management of firms, that is, they do not sufficiently manage the risks arising from the exchange rate. The results show that business managers need to better manage foreign exchange risks. In addition, it is important that the Central Bank and economic administrations implement policies that will reduce volatility in foreign exchange rates and increase stability.
