Foreign Currency Agreement
This case study reveals the importance of deciding on and makin
g a foreign currency
agreement with an international business partner.
When a negotiator embarks on an i
nternational agreement with a
foreign partner, they have to
give serious consideration to which currency is going to be use
d in their financial
transactions. There is a certain amount of risk that a company
might have to assume as the
negotiators consider whether they are going to issue or receive
payments in a foreign
denomination. It occasionally ha
ppens that between the time whe
n a contract is signed, and
when payment begins to flow, the currency of the foreign partne
r’s company could either
increase or decrease dramatically. Any company that handles for
eign currency faces the
hazard of paying more or receiving less than it projected. The
risk increases p
roportionately
in relation to the duration or
longevity of the contract agreem
ent.
The value of any country’s curre
ncy typically depends on supply
and demand. Any currency
is affected by various factors. This includes the rate of infla
tion, economic growth, the
internal political stability of the country, and interest rates
, just to name a few. Many newer
countries use their central banks
to allow their currency to ri
se and fall within a narrow band,
and may peg their currency’s value to a leading international c
urrency such as the Euro, or
British Pound.
Back in the 1980’s a small U.S. company signed a long term agre
ement with a Japanese
manufacturer to purchase a brand
of adhesive that was much chea
per than could be obtained
in the U.S. The Japanese negotiating team was adamant that they
were to be paid in Japanese
yen. The American company, eager to lock in this cheap supply o
f this particular adhesive,
agreed. This meant that the U.S
. company would now assume any r
isk in currency fluctuation
for the Japanese yen.
At the time the agreement was signed the value ratio between th
e yen and the U.S. greenback
was 185 yen to $1.00 U.S. dollar. For awhile the U.S. company p
rospered even more as the
exchange rate fell from 250 yen to $1.00 U.S. It was looking li
ke a really good bargain.
Unfortunately, the tide shifted the other way and by 1988, the
yen was valued at 140 yen to
$1.00 U.S., much to the dismay of the U.S. company.
Needless to say, the U.S. company began to lose money and this
jammed the company into
being caught between the proverbial ‘rock and the hard place’.
The U.S. company faced the
additional burden in that they were facing such stiff competiti
on from their competitors that
they had no latitude to increase their prices. The agreement di
d not include any provisions to
renegotiate the contract if faced with such a dramatic shift in
the value of the rate of currency
either, which was another serious drawback.
A negotiator who conducts an inte
rnational negotiation has 4 ch
oices to make regarding
foreign currency when concluding a
n international joint venture
. 1) They can both share the
risk. 2) The foreign partner assumes the risk. 3) Your side ass
umes the risk. 4) One or both
parties stipulate in the contra
ct that the currency denominatio
n is an area open to
renegotiation, allowing for a certa
in percentage of rate fluctu
ation to occur.
Always remember that the longer
the lifespan of the agreement -
the greater the risk.
