Cross rates refer to the exchange rate between two non-primary currencies, determined by referencing a third common currency. Typically, the US dollar (USD) serves as this reference currency. Cross rates are fundamental in global financial markets, especially when the currency pairs do not involve the USD directly. For example, to find the exchange rate between the Euro (EUR) and the Japanese Yen (JPY), banks often use the USD as a reference point by calculating the EUR/USD and USD/JPY exchange rates.

Furthermore, in the AFM module, JAIIB aspirants learn the practical importance of cross rates in banking. Cross rates allow banks to facilitate international transactions and currency conversions in an efficient and cost-effective manner. They are specifically useful for transactions where currencies do not have a direct exchange rate, as is often the case in countries with lower trade volumes. For instance, if an Indian client wants to exchange Indian Rupees (INR) for Japanese Yen (JPY), the bank might calculate the INR to USD rate and the USD to JPY rate to arrive at the INR/JPY cross rate.

To summarize, The JAIIB AFM module’s coverage of cross rates prepares banking professionals to handle complex currency conversions with confidence and accuracy. By understanding cross rates, JAIIB candidates gain a vital skill for managing currency arbitrage, hedging against exchange rate risks, and accurately representing foreign assets and liabilities in financial reports.
