This book focuses on the latest developments in the Asia-Pacific
community in terms of how deregulation and privatization are bringing
more risk to energy companies. In the light of these market changes,
interest in energy risk management has grown substantially and is
becoming a fiduciary responsibility of energy companies. As energy
trading, power exchanges and hedging techniques establish themselves in
the oil, power and gas sectors, so then do newer derivatives markets
emerge in LNG hedging, weather derivatives and freight hedging. Fusaro
and James, as seasoned market practitioners in the region, focus on
these market changes and examine the future of Asian energy hedging.
