This document illustrates the valuation of a currency swap between euros and US dollars over three years. It decomposes the swap into equivalent bond positions in each currency and equivalent forward exchange contracts. It then values the swap using forward rates derived from the term structure of interest rates and the spot exchange rate. Finally, it values the swap based on a hypothetical new set of swap rates. In all cases, the calculated swap value matches the expected value of 31.66 euros.
