The two options that do not fall under countertrade are hedge and speculating. The other three options are all categories of countertrade. Barter and counter-purchasing involve the exchange of goods and services between two parties without using currency. Offset and switch trading involve the purchase of goods and services with the agreement to use the proceeds from the sale of other goods and services to pay for them. Compensation and buyback involve the exchange of goods and services for the promise of future business.
