you want to redistribute the bgp routes learned at the exchange point
into your dynamic igp so,
Even in a small country (perhaps a poor country), with old equipment, etc.
is this nowadays ever better than carrying it in iBGP?

      external ----- expensive ------ agggregation ------- exchange
      transit          link             router              point
        |                                 |
        |                                 |
      some                              cust2
      custs

if you don't, then traffic from cust2 to customers of exchange peers will
trombone across the expensive link.

and back again, and back again, and ...
