This is due to the fact that with the increase in amount there is an increase in the
surplus offered by arbitrage. This is due to two reasons. The first is that the
exchange rate has increased and the second is due to increased euro interest rate.

A riskless profit is earned if the currency is borrowed in US and loan is given in

Greece. It can be seen that the potential can be increased in terms of arbitrage
surplus. Another point is that the forward rate is utilized and it can also be accepted
that the fact is justified and It can be concluded this way there is no potential of loss

The difference between interest and principal in dollars and the proportional
exchange rate increase with respect to the interest rate with the dollar amount is
the net surplus in terms of market expectations.

Personal expectation is the simple phenomena pf getting more interest in return for

much more objective than the personal expectation. It can also be seen that the
direction is positive and in return the surplus is also risk free.

This fee is charged due to the fact that the potential weakness of the organization is
unidirectional and in order for the bank to trade it is obligatory for the organization
to cover the inter-currency exchange rate risk.
