Question: # 1 Bootstrapping the ZAR Basis Zero Curve using Approaches ( I ) Consider the USDZAR exchange rate, i . e . the Rand price
# Bootstrapping the ZAR Basis Zero Curve using Approaches I
Consider the USDZAR exchange rate, ie the Rand price of US Dollars, or equivalently, the amount of SA
Rands required to purchase one US Dollar. On June the USDZAR spot exchange rate is and
the following NACC zero coupon curves prevail:
The following USDZAR market forward points and basis swap spread rates also prevail:
Use all of the above instruments to bootstrap the ZAR basis curve by linearly interpolating the swap rates. You
can leave answers in the form of discount factors out to two years, with cash flowsettlement dates defining
the key node dates, ie you don't have to find rates. Make use of the calendars provided, and use linear
interpolation where necessary.
