Why does it matter?
Imported goods, foreign loans and many equipment purchases are priced with reference to foreign currency.
How does it affect you?
A higher number means the birr buys fewer dollars, which can make imported goods and foreign travel more expensive.
How could it affect your business?
Importers see costs change directly. Exporters may see more birr per dollar earned. Plan contracts and quotes with exchange-rate movement in mind.
