Fix prices in a stable currency to avoid risks. Use forward contracts to lock in exchange rates. Negotiate flexible terms to adjust for currency changes. Diversify suppliers across regions to reduce dependency on one currency. Keep a reserve fund to manage sudden fluctuations. Monitor currency trends regularly for better planning.

At Bohlmann and Partners, we manage currency fluctuations in long-term contracts with international suppliers by incorporating flexible pricing terms and hedging strategies. We negotiate clauses that allow for periodic price adjustments based on exchange rate movements, ensuring both parties are protected from significant volatility. Additionally, we explore using forward contracts or options to lock in favorable exchange rates for future transactions. This proactive approach minimizes risk and ensures cost predictability, fostering strong, long-term relationships with our suppliers and maintaining financial stability for our clients.

1. **One time at work:** While negotiating a long-term contract with an overseas supplier, currency fluctuations started becoming a concern, as the exchange rates were volatile. 2. **My experience:** I proposed pricing adjustments that were tied to an agreed-upon currency exchange rate, allowing both parties to adapt to future fluctuations without risking the stability of the contract. Additionally, I suggested incorporating a currency hedge in the contract to minimize risks. 3. **Solution:** By building flexibility into the agreement and exploring options like currency-hedging tools, we managed to secure a mutually beneficial contract. This approach helped both sides avoid major financial risks due to currency fluctuations.
