Credit risk- fx forward contract

[FrankCFA]

Understand from LOS 54i - swap , the credit risk is highest in the middle of the swap term.

How about the fx foward? At the end of contract? Thanks.

definitely at the end of an fx forward, just prior to expiration. forwards do not pay out over time, so the mark to market exposure will theoretically be greatest right before maturity. also, the likelihood the counterparty has become less credit worthy increases over time a well.
