The primary idea of the master thesis is to determine and to analyze factors influencing the choice of foreign exchange hedging instruments by international companies in industrial sector. To achieve it we considered what has been written before about this problem and also considered key theoretical concepts about risk management (the analysis of instruments is also included). In the second part we considered two cases of foreign exchange hedging by two international industrial companies. We also conducted interviews with representatives of the financial industry and found out what is a priority for them when choosing currency exchange hedging instruments.
