For example, a US company buying Canadian goods when the Canadian dollar was at its low point (January 2002) would end up paying 75% more for those same goods just a few years later (November 2007) when the Canadian buck was at its high – with no inflation whatsoever! This type of swing, outside of management’s control, can put an enterprise out of business if exchange-related cost hikes are not tracked, planned for, and addressed proactively.
