Bill of Exchange






          Why is a bill of exchange


          needed?








          A bill of exchange helps to


          counter some of the risks


          involved with exporting. Long-


          term trading arrangements


          between firms in different



          countries can be badly


          effected by exchange rate


          fluctuations, so the fixed


          payment terms laid out in


          a bill of exchange provides


          exporters with the assurance


          of a fixed price.
