Inflation rate
7y ago#1What you say is true in that in theory the weaker currency will 'cancel' out the higher cost of the goods. However this is only in theory and is only looking at the effect of inflation on the exchange rate - in practice many other factors affect exchange rates. Even if the two things did exactly cancel each other out, then it would not result in a benefit to the organisation, which is what the question asked - it would only be a benefit if they were to sell more, and there is no reason for that to be the case.
