Transfer problem - Transfer problem

Japanese: トランスファー問題 - トランスファーもんだい(英語表記)transfer problem
Transfer problem - Transfer problem
This refers to the difficult problem of obtaining foreign currency that a paying country faces when it is obligated to pay or transfer a certain amount of foreign currency or goods to a foreign country in cases such as reparations or capital exports. For example, let's say country A is obligated to pay country B $10 billion in reparations. The government of country A obtains the equivalent of $10 billion by increasing taxes on its citizens, but this tax consists of country A's currency or products, which country A must convert into a currency that country B will accept, that is, the dominant international currency at the time (such as the dollar) or goods.

Japanese:
賠償,資本輸出等において,ある国が外国に一定の外貨または現物(商品)を支払う,トランスファーする(移転する)義務が生じた場合に,支払国が直面する外貨獲得に関する困難な問題を指す。たとえばA国がB国に100億ドルの資金を賠償金として支払う義務が生じたとしよう。A国の政府は自国民の税金を増額して〈100億ドル相当〉の資金を入手するが,この税金はA国の通貨または生産物からなっており,A国はこれをB国が受け入れる通貨,すなわちそのときの支配的国際通貨(たとえばドル)または商品に換えなければならない。
