12、uch risk 指的就是这一独特的风险,such 在句子之间起 到了衔接作用。D 本句和前一句举例说明因产品质量争议而引起的所谓国际市场独有的商业风险。本句 主语 the distributor 指的就是上句中出现的 a distributor in Germany,这里 distributor 通过重复 在句子之间起到了衔接作用。A 本段主要谈政治风险,因而选项 A 最合适。E 本段主要谈外汇风险,E 说:“世界主要货币的浮动汇率制迫使所有商家特别关注汇率的 波动,并意识到需要调整金融计划来作补偿。”后一句以国际商用机器公司为例说明这一情况。金融风险 国际金融市场的风险存在几种类型,主要是
13、商业风险、政治风险和外汇风险。商业风险事实上是日常商务活动中一般的信用风险。包括偿债能力、违约和拒绝付款。然而 竞争才是最主要的风险,需要持续有效的管理和营销才能在竞争中立足。国际市场的二个独特的风险是金融调节方面的风险。这种风险产生于有关货物质量、合同条款及货款不兑现方面引起的 争执。例如,有一家公司将几百吨脱水土豆运给德国一家批发商,这批发商经过检验认为这些 土豆的味道和质地不合标准。对于出口商这方来说,可以降低价格、另寻买主或将土豆运回国内,两者均需要付出相当大的代价。政治风险与战争、变革、货币的不可兑换性、土地征用、驱逐出境、进口许可的限制或取消 有关。政治风险是所有商务活动都需要考虑的环境因素。是通过信息管理系统和有效的决策程序 防范政治风险的最好办法。许多公司都发现,有时政治风险是不可避免的,所以商家必须心中有 数或是放弃某些市场的交易汇率不稳定也必然会产生不利影响。但多年来,大多数公司都能采取预防性措施将这种不利 影响降到最低限度。世界主要货币的浮动汇率制迫使所有商家尤为关注汇率的波动,并意识到需 要调整金融计划来作补偿。例如,国际商用机器公司曾报道 1981 年第三季度的收益额因为汇率变 动而急剧下降了 21.6%。实行浮动汇率制以前,主要货币的贬值并不常见,而且通常可以预测得 到。但是在浮动汇率制度下,汇率的波动是很常见的。
