Why model and forecast volatility?Why model and forecast volatility?

Volatility is one of the most important concepts in the whole of Volatility is one of the most important concepts in the whole of finance.finance.

ARCH models offered new tools for measuring risk, and its ARCH models offered new tools for measuring risk, and its impact on return. impact on return.

Volatility of exchange rates is of importance because of the Volatility of exchange rates is of importance because of the uncertainty it creates for prices of exports and imports, for the uncertainty it creates for prices of exports and imports, for the value of international reserves and for open positions in foreign value of international reserves and for open positions in foreign currency.currency.
