According to the Chief Economist at the Industrial Development Corporation, Mr Lumkile Mondi, potential favourables to exchange rate management includes the increase in price competitiveness of exports, at least temporarily (bearing in mind the progressive erosion of such competitiveness depending on inflationary impact). This could lead to increased export market penetration, assuming there is appropriate demand. If price competitiveness and stability are sustained, it could lead to progressive recapturing of foreign markets and securing new external customer bases.
