The Forex is an over-the-counter market. Traders are located in the major commercial and investment banks around the world. They use different networks including the SWIFT (for Society for Worldwide Interbank financial telecommunications, Belgian not-for-profit cooperative. The Swift is also used for international payments. Each message is encrypted. Need some time and has some cost).
Devaluation: very big risk for a foreign investor. Foreign exchange rates are influenced by differences in inflation rates among countries, by differences in interest rates, by government policies and by transactions/ expectations in the foreign exchange markets. Currency futures are traded in the whole centrale Europe. If forward-exchange rates are greater than the spot-exchange rate in a particular currency, the forward foreign currency is said to be at a premium.
