  • The recent strength in the US dollar (USD) has resulted in a material financial windfall for suppliers outside the US accepting USD payments.
  • US-based companies making USD payments have an opportunity to ask foreign suppliers to reduce USD prices and share in their improved economics.
  • Looking ahead, switching to foreign currency payments may be a more sustainable and cost-effective strategy.
