Abstract

Under the background of global economic integration, the financing risks of multinational companies are increasingly prominent. Taking Apple's financing case in 2023 as an example, this paper deeply analyzes the risks faced by multinational companies in the financing process and the corresponding risk management strategies. Firstly, the paper elaborates the research background and purpose, pointing out that multinational companies' financing activities are faced with uncertain factors such as exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes, and political risks. Then it introduces the theoretical basis of multinational companies' financing risks, including the causes and impacts of exchange rate risks and interest rate risks, as well as risk management methods. Then it analyzes Apple's financing case in 2023, from aspects such as financing background and motivation, financing methods and strategies, and financing risk identification and assessment. Finally, it draws research conclusions. Multinational companies face various financing risks. Apple's measures such as diversified financing and establishing a risk early warning mechanism have effectively reduced risks and provided references for Chinese multinational companies. At the same time, it looks forward to future research directions, including in-depth research on quantitative models of exchange rate and interest rate risks, exploring the application of new financial instruments, strengthening the research on internal control mechanisms, and paying attention to the impact of global economic situation and policy changes.
