In addition to European and North American currencies, we are now also looking at an Asian currency alternative to the Swiss franc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Singapore dollar<\/strong><br \/>\nThe standard currency abbreviation for the Singapore dollar according to ISO 4217 is SGD. The abbreviations $ and S$ are also used. A Singapore dollar - like the US dollar or the Canadian dollar - is divided into 100 cents. Only the Board of Commissioners of Currency, Singapore (BCCS) is authorized to issue banknotes and coins in Singapore dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, the SGD is a freely tradable currency that is supervised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Among other things, the authority uses a basket of other currencies for monitoring purposes, but its composition is kept secret. This is to prevent attacks by speculators or the exertion of pressure on the Singapore dollar.<\/p>\n<p>A special feature is that there is a fixed exchange rate ratio of 1:1 to the Brunei dollar and that both currencies are also accepted as valid means of payment in the other country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broker-test.de\/forex-broker\/nachrichten\/alternativen-zum-schweizer-franken-singapur-dollar-teil-4-von-6-18803\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full article about the Signapur dollar here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other alternatives to the Swiss franc are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.broker-test.de\/forex-broker\/nachrichten\/alternativen-zum-schweizer-franken-kanadischer-dollar-teil-3-von-6-18786\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian dollars (3rd part)<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.broker-test.de\/forex-broker\/nachrichten\/alternativen-zum-schweizer-franken-schwedische-krone-teil-2-von-6-18748\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swedish crown (part 2)<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.broker-test.de\/trading-news\/alternativen-zum-schweizer-franken-norwegische-krone-teil-1-von-6-18730\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Norwegian krone (part 1)<\/a>.
