In the case of swaps by companies and institutions, the reason currency swaps are made is usually a hedge or an opportunity to obtain cheaper financing. In the investment world, a once currency swea could be coveted by buying a high-yield currency like the Australian dollar, while selling a low-interest currency like the Japanese yen. As long as the movement in the pair is flat or advantageous to the trader, they can continue to keep the pair while also collecting the swap or difference in interest rates between the two currencies. In October 2013, South Korea and Indonesia signed a $10 billion swea agreement. The two nations can trade up to 10.7 trillion won or 115 trillion rupees for three years. The three-year currency swet could be extended if both parties reach an agreement when it expires. There are plans to promote bilateral trade and strengthen financial cooperation for the economic development of both countries. The agreement guarantees the management of local currency exchanges between the two countries, even in times of financial burden, in order to support regional financial stability. In 2013, South Korea imported $13.2 billion in goods from Indonesia, while exports reached $11.6 billion. In August 2018, Qatar and Turkey`s central banks signed a currency exchange agreement to provide liquidity and financial stability support.

Cross-exchange swaps are often used by financial institutions and multinationals to finance foreign exchange investments and can last from one year to 30 years. FX swaps are generally used by exporters, importers and institutional investors who try to secure their positions. and can range from a day to a year in duration or longer. The British company, with its U.S. assets (refinery), will pay the 10% interest at 150 million pounds ($15 million) to the swap bank, which passes them on to the U.S. company so that it can pay its bondholders.
The U.S. company, with its British assets (distribution centre), will pay interest of 7.5% to 100 million pounds ($075) ($100 million) – $7.5 million to the swap bank, which will return them to the British company so that it can pay its British bondholders. Currency swets have always been very practical in finance. They allow loans or other payments to be renamed from one currency to another. Multi-currency swaps are an integral part of modern financial markets, as they are the necessary bridge for assessing returns on a standardized USD basis. This is why they are also used as a construction tool to establish guaranteed discount curves for the valuation of a future cash flow in a given currency, but guaranteed by another currency.
