韓元匯率劇烈波動 韓國免稅店出現價格倒掛現象

受匯率影響,進口精品免稅店價格一度高於百貨公司,業者被迫頻繁調整基準匯率

Quick Look

受韓元匯率劇烈波動影響,韓國免稅店進口精品曾出現「免稅比百貨貴」的價格倒掛現象。隨近期韓元升值,情勢逆轉,免稅業者為應對匯率不確定性,被迫將基準匯率調整週期縮短至每月一次,以維持價格競爭力。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕台灣人赴韓血拚注意!綜合韓媒報導,受到韓元匯率劇烈波動影響,韓國部分進口精品直到8月仍出現「免稅店比百貨公司貴」的罕見現象,一款名牌包價差一度將近12%。不過隨著韓元近期升值,情勢已經逆轉,部分進口精品的免稅價重新低於百貨公司,劇烈的匯率變化也讓韓國免稅業者不得不頻繁調整定價策略。

綜合韓媒報導,以Dior Lady Bag Mini為例,韓國免稅店售價為5500美元。以3個月前1美元兌1524.5韓元計算,換算價格約838萬韓元,但同款商品在韓國百貨公司的售價只有750萬韓元。

換句話說,當時若在免稅店購買這款Dior包,換算後反而比百貨公司貴了88萬韓元,價差約11.7%,出現「免稅反而更貴」的價格倒掛。

不過,隨著韓元近期升值,情況已經逆轉。以9月9日1美元兌1336.1韓元計算,同樣售價5500美元的Dior包,換算價格已降至約735萬韓元,反而比百貨公司的750萬韓元便宜約15萬韓元。

值得注意的是,Dior的5500美元售價並沒有改變,價格逆轉主要來自韓元升值。同樣5500美元,3個月前約838萬韓元,如今只需要約735萬韓元。

韓元匯率劇烈震盪,也讓免稅業者不得不頻繁調整定價策略。樂天、新羅、新世界及現代四大免稅業者,近期將韓國商品適用的基準匯率由1美元兌1400韓元調至1350韓元,其中樂天、現代自9月10日起採用,新羅、新世界則從11日起跟進。

這項基準匯率調整主要影響韓國商品,與Dior等海外精品因韓元升值而變便宜是兩回事。韓國商品以韓元價格為基礎,再依免稅業者設定的基準匯率換算成美元標價。基準匯率由1400韓元調至1350韓元後,在韓元價格不變的情況下,換算出的美元標價將提高。

業界解釋,先前韓元走弱時,韓國免稅店的價格競爭力下降,外國觀光客轉往百貨公司,以及Olive Young、大創(Daiso)、Musinsa等通路購物的現象加劇。為了留住外國旅客,免稅業者當時調高基準匯率,藉此壓低韓國商品的美元標價,維持價格競爭力,但業者也因此承受毛利壓力。

如今韓元升值,業者開始將先前因應高匯率而調高的基準匯率往下修。業界人士表示,這次調整主要是把先前為維持價格競爭力而壓低的韓國商品美元標價恢復正常水準。

值得注意的是,過去匯率相對穩定時,免稅店基準匯率可能3至4年才調整一次,如今調整週期已縮短至約1個月,凸顯匯率變化之快。

業界人士坦言,無論匯率高低,只要走勢穩定就容易預測,但波動幅度一旦擴大,經營負擔就會加重。目前採購人員最傷腦筋的,就是究竟應該何時進貨、準備多少庫存。
