Many entrepreneurs have concluded interest rate derivatives in the past. The intention was to hedge the risks of interest rate rises. This turned out differently than expected, which means that banks now have to accommodate entrepreneurs through the Uniform Recovery Framework for Interest Rate Derivatives.
