IMF urges Jakarta to delay action on a currency board
Article Abstract:
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Michel Camdessus has exhorted the Indonesian government to put off the establishment of a fixed-exchange rate system. Immediate approval of the proposed currency board may endanger the economic recovery chances of the country. The most debatable issue of the proposed currency board was the proposals to boost Indonesian interest rates to as much as 300% after its enforcement.
