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.

  1. Add FX and inflation scenario clauses to large cross-border contracts; align milestone payments to risk checkpoints.
  2. Introduce an explicit 're-pricing risk' line in the risk register with owner, trigger, mitigation, and residual risk.
