SUBJECT . Monthly Report--Abidjan Bureau--March 1982
At the halfway point in the current fiscal year, it appears that
the bureau will.-require substantially less money than provided in its
FY-82 allotment. The dollar's continuing strength against European
currencies--particularly the French franc to which the CFA is directly
pegged--is primarily responsible for this good fiscal news. For the
past few weeks the exchange rate has been slightly higher than 310 CFA
to the dollar, and for the past three months the average exchange rate
has been 300. As a result, the Cost of Living Allowance for staff
employees has dropped from 20 percent to 10 percent.
