German Mark Floats Upset U S Army Budget in Europe
West Germany floated the mark on May 9, raising costs for U.S. servicemen in Europe. The dollar’s reduced purchasing power increases rents and living expenses for troops living off base, with a typical rent rising from about 187 to 147 dollars per month after conversion, and overall impact estimated to exceed 30 million dollars this fiscal year. The change aims to curb dollar inflows and domestic price rises, amid earlier declines from four marks per dollar to 3.66.
