| (1) Rapid Exchange Fluctuations | - Radical exchange fluctuations prevail. As it stands, member firm's subsidiary (MFS) benefits from exchange gain on a direct export transaction in yen. Nevertheless, negotiation for raise in price is difficult. In a transaction with its parent company, the prevailing Yen depreciation enables MFS to offer special prices to its customers. However, MFS runs on a thin margin, so that if the exchange rate swings toward appreciation of Yen, it will instantly show operational loss: such is the severity of the fluctuation band. |
- It is requested that GOP takes step to: -- stablise foreign exchange fluctuations, and -- holds the fluctuation band within a few percents in 6-months. |
