Market implicationsA country's importing and exporting activity influences its GDP, exchange rate and its level of inflation and interest rates.
On the exchange rate - a weaker domestic currency stimulates exports and makes imports more expensive, while a strong domestic currency hampers exports and makes imports cheaper.
On GDP growth and earnings - exports can increase a firm's sales and profits, and they may even present an opportunity to capture significant global market share.
On prices - higher inflation can also impact exports by having a direct impact on input costs such as materials and labor.
