摘要

In 2002, the U.S. dollar began showing weakness against the major currencies of the world; this weakness was a welcome change for the U.S.-based manufacturers, in particular the international commodity producers like the pulp and paper industry. For many years the U.S. pursued a strong dollar policy that led to a prolonged slide in the values of the European and Canadian currencies. This appreciation of the U.S. dollar through the 1990s up to 2002 gave the pulp and paper producers in those regions amore favorable competitive position and more cash flow; therefore it allowed the producers the opportunity to make investments in their operations. It is easier for companies to justify investments when they think their currencies will continue to devalue, hence giving them an improved competitive position. Only European companies went out and invested in their operations to any great extent, improving their efficiencies, and shifting productions to higher valued production. North American producers haven't made the investments to nearly the degree that the Nordic companies have; however, conditions have changed and now may be the time, at least for the U.S. producers.
