AveGali [126]

Answer:

Currency swap.

It is considered to be a foreign exchange transaction and is not required by law to be shown on a company's balance sheet.

The dual purpose of a currency swap is to hedge exposure to exchange rate risk, or helps reduce the cost of borrowing a foreign currency.
