Derivative instruments are contracts in which two parties agree to carry out an exchange in the future on an underlying asset, at a specific price and date. These allow economic agents to make investments and/or hedges against fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodities, among others. On the other hand, a spot transaction corresponds to a purchase or sale of currency carried out in cash.

The Chilean Financial Derivatives Market Report presents information on the FX, interest rate and inflation derivatives transactions carried out by resident banking institutions, broken down by counterparty sector, term, instrument and price.
