Key points
Decision-relevant statements; inference should be labelled in the content.
- Where FX exposure is material, price-validity windows and adjustment mechanisms become a delivery control, not a finance footnote.
- Non-bank financial channels can amplify volatility and liquidity shocks; procurement plans should stress-test financing and payment terms.
- Decision packs should present scenarios with explicit triggers (FX bands, cost inflation thresholds, counterparty liquidity signals).
Actions
Practical next steps if this Signal touches your mandate.
- Add FX and inflation scenario clauses to large cross-border contracts; align milestone payments to risk checkpoints.
- Introduce an explicit 're-pricing risk' line in the risk register with owner, trigger, mitigation, and residual risk.
