Every business has some exposure to currency volatility
Even if you only do business in Ireland, you can be affected by currency volatility. You may rely on materials sourced from the UK or further afield, or your Irish suppliers may have UK companies in their supply chain. It is very important to understand your exposure and develop appropriate strategies to manage these risks.
If you are an exporter or goods of services, currency volatility can have a very significant impact on the profitability and viability of your business. An exporter selling goods to the UK in January 2016 received €1,350 for every Stg £1,000. Fast forward 12 months and this had dropped to €1,173, a fall of almost 18 percent. While you may think that exchange rates are outside your control, there are ways that you can limit the impact on your business.
