    MORE medium-sized companies are hedging their foreign exchange exposure, with the recent renminbi (RMB) devaluation a wake-up call, said Tim Evans, HSBC regional head of middle-market enterprises (MME).

    The recent RMB devaluation is actually a wake-up call for companies, not to bank on the RMB - or any currency for that matter - as a one-way ride, said Mr Evans in a recent interview.
