Exchange Rates Vex American Employees Abroad
The American dollar fluctuates in many Far East markets causing budgeting difficulties for expatriate workers. The National Foreign Trade Council notes that volatile exchange reduces the value of paychecks sent by U S. offices and prompts export houses to seek methods to pay foreign salaries without the exchange risk. A Singapore branch first highlighted the issue through drafts against dollars, and sterling strength recently lowered Straits dollar returns. The council is investigating safer payment methods used by U S. government employees.

A government worker faced a definite three month exchange rate with options for silver or gold payments. In Singapore the rate moved with the dollar, prompting gold payments when the dollar fell and silver when it rose. The council warned such fixed rates yield losses, while exporters showed varied methods including local currency, arbitrary rates, or covering losses through living cost adjustments.
