Case Overview and Summary
Revising the MFA Indices on Overseas and Living Quarters Allowances of Foreign Service Personnel- Pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 1285 and Letter of Implementation No. 63, the Permanent Committee is authorized to recommend adjustments to the MFA Index for overseas and living quarters allowances based on changes in exchange rates and price levels.
- Due to worldwide increase in price levels and decline in the purchasing power of the US dollar, Foreign Service personnel have experienced financial difficulties.
- To provide adequate financial means for Foreign Service personnel to efficiently represent the country abroad, the MFA Indices are revised as follows:
• The overseas allowance and living quarters allowance percentages are increased for various countries and posts, with specific percentages listed for each location. (Section 4.3.2 of Letter of Implementation No. 63)
• The amount to cover the adjustment of allowances for Ministry of Foreign Affairs personnel shall be taken from the P20 Million appropriated in the CY 1981 General Appropriations Act, net of reserves. (No specific section cited)
• The amount to cover the adjustment of allowances for Service Attaches shall be from the programmed expenditures for CY 1981 of the concerned agencies, net of reserves. (No specific section cited)
• The Order takes effect on April 1, 1981. (No specific section cited)
