foreign currency portion/ portion concerning foreign currencies
Explanation:
Rather than cash, "devises" generally means "foreign currencies".

Depending on context, the sum of XXX dollars might be the value of the amount to be paid in foreign currencies (part of the total), or it might be the amount to be paid for operations relating to foreign currencies (which would be only part of the overall activities covered).
