cross currency swaps

Alternatively, probably you can use two yield curves and an exchange rate to engineer a CCS.

Subject: [Quantlib-users] cross currency swaps

Hi
 
I've looked through Quantlib, and so far I could not find
any class that defines and gives an npv of a cross currency swap(in an instruments folder or anywhere else).
 
If someone want to price a cross currency swap with Quantlib,
they have to create their own class.
Am I correct?
 
Is it also true for tenor basis swaps(such as 3M Libor vs 6M Libor)?
 
Regards,

  Hi all,

  For valuing a CCS you need also to "basis spread" one of the two curves and
this requires a special boostrapping routine.

André
