Currency adjustment factor
The Currency Adjustment Factor (CAF) is calculated as a percentage difference between the base rate and an arithmetic mean of daily currency rates of NBP (Polish National Bank) from the previous month, adjusted by a currency cost structure factor. CAF is calculated and published by ROHLIG SUUS Logistics on a monthly basis.
The currency cost structure factor presents the forwarding and logistics costs in a foreign currency as a proportion of total costs. This coefficient is currently 65.5%, but it may change with an adjustment in cost structures at ROHLIG SUUS Logistics.
The base rate for CAF calculations is an arithmetic mean of average daily currency rates (EUR and USD), as published by NBP (Polish National Bank).
The current Currency Adjustment Factor value at ROHLIG SUUS Logistics as for January 2012 is:
EUR - 0,0 %
USD - 0 %
GBP - 0 %
CHF - 0 %
All invoices in foreign currency include automatically adjusted prices by CAF valid on date of invoice.
ProLogistyka Association, which brings together the largest players of the Polish forwarding & logistics sector, recommends the usage of CAF in road-freight.
