CAYMAN ISLANDS dollar (KYD)
ß 81
    
   
As a pure tax haven with no direct taxation on residents or corporations, the Cayman Islands today is considered to be one of the world’s elite offshore tax and money havens. The eyes of the large OECD countries have taken notice with the activities of many offshore financial destinations including the Cayman Islands that are providing very attractive tax rates for investment capital. It is these outward capital flows from rich industrialized nations to offshore financial centres that have resulted in new laws and regulations in the Caymans in an attempt to counter tax evasion in OECD countries. Will these new restrictions and agreements with countries like the United States for transparency and sharing of information derail the Cayman Islands lucrative offshore financial services industry?

Is the Caymanian dollar ‘KYD’ currency peg to the US-dollar (‘USD’) vulnerable?

CHILE peso

Chile is home to outstanding natural beauty including its long coastal Pacific shoreline, Andean mountain peaks, lakes and glacier eloquence in the south. Amongst all this beauty, the nation’s lifeline for national revenue remains for the most part the mining industry centred around copper production. Depressed copper prices since 1998 have correspondingly resulted in a steady depreciation of the Chilean peso versus the US-dollar (‘USD’).

In addition to low copper prices, several other contributing factors have impacted the peso’s exchange value. For a detailed review on the developments impacting the Chilean peso, please click the flag below. Thank you in advance.

CHINA renminbi or yuan 'CNY'
76 à
   
   
The rate of speed of economic and cultural transformation that is currently taking place is very similar to what happened to the United States during the 20th century. Today, China is now the global manufacturing centre for the world. Many of its citizens are becoming financial moguls, market capitalism is blossoming within its socialized political framework. Rapid change is evident within the cities, the urbanization of China is taking place at lightning speed. Many Chinese now desire Western consumer goods and lifestyles from computers, cell phones, clothes and popular brand names. The new national symbol is the construction crane with skyscrapers dominating the skyline.

What future awaits China? Is the Chinese yuan/renminbi currency really that much undervalued as suggested by many American politicians? Is much of the global press perhaps misleading their readers about yuan undervalution?

COLOMBIA peso

President Alvaro Uribe was just recently sworn into office with a political mandate by the Colombian people to go to war against domestic terrorism in order to save Colombia as a viable country. All 3 domestic terrorism groups that oppose the government are deemed terrorist organizations by the United States. Mr. Uribe won the spring 2002 election on a war platform, he seeks to bring a cessation of the violence, the kidnappings and a halt to the lucrative drug trade. Marxist leftist guerillas use profits from cocaine & heroin to wage a war of terror throughout the nation. In year 2001 alone, 14 mayors were killed along with 3,500 people of which mostly were innnocent civilians.

In addition to the costly war, President Uribe inherents a Colombian economy that is already in depression where unemployment is 17.5 percent and 65 pecent of the people live below the poverty line. Amongst all this civil violence, what about the Colombian peso, where is it headed?

Since obtaining independence in 1991, Croatia has been at war on two fronts, both militarily and economic. The Balkan region of Europe has had a long history of conflict, ethnic divide and unstable borders. Governments in the region are no stranger to war, the Kosovo conflict being the last major war zone in the late 1990’s.

The kuna is actually Croatia’s second currency in circulation since independence, but will the kuna have the same fate as the former Croatian dinar currency did in the early 1990’s?

CZECH REPUBLIC koruna
69 à
   
   
The Czech Republic’s national currency, the ‘Koruna’ has performed remarkably well considering the tremendous challenge to completely restructure their economy a full 180 degree turn in ideology from central planning to open market principles. The implementation of privatization programs and market reforms has resulted in short term financial and personal pain to a large number of Czechs. Perhaps this explains why the Communisty Party is making a political return as many Czechs feel abandoned? The Czech banking system to a large degree that became insolvent in the late 1990’s will cost the country billions of US-dollars equivalent to clean up.

Has all this been a success? Are foreign investors taking part in this economic revolution or are they watching from the sidelines until the dust settles?

Where is the Koruna going, any chance for a currency crash? Will it still be in circulation in the near future or will it be replaced?

A new government with President-elect Fernandez is to be sworn into office on August 16, 2004 with a mandate to renew the country’s optimism and economy. Over the last year and a half, the Dominican Republic ‘DR’ peso and economy has crashed as year 2003-04 is one of the nation’s worst economic periods in decades. The peso ‘DOP’ has since collapsed in value from 17 to 45 to the US-dollar ‘USD’ due to mounting inflation pressures, energy shortages, credit downgrades and the increased risk for debt default.

Can President Fernandez rescue the DR economy?

Recent exchange quotes for the peso have it at 42.5 DOP to the USD, is the peso falling farther or has it hit bottom for now?

The East Caribbean currency zone is a tiny common economy when compared to other currency zone arrangements. Surprisingly when compared to several much larger economies and currencies circulating in the world today, the East Caribbean dollar has performed well for these small economies by maintaining relative purchasing power parity. If each island nation within this Eastern Caribbean ‘EC’ zone operated their own individual respective currencies, the outcome would most likely be much different with great instability.

The Euroland euro (EUR) consists of a 12-nation currency bloc, the euro today is widely accepted throughout the world as it rivals the US-dollar (USD) as the world’s premiere currency. Since its inception in 1999, the euro has had tremendous exchange valuation volatility. The first few years was a euro currency being attacked by the critics as a weak ineffective flawed experiment in monetary policy. Today, quite the opposite. The euro has experienced a wild appreciation in relation to the USD over the last 2 years by appreciating approximately 40 percent. The EUR alone in 2003 appreciated by 19.7 percent on a trade weighted basis to other hard currencies.

What’s next for the Euroland euro? Will the entrance of new less affluent countries to the EU and ultimately their attainment of euro accession create instabilty for this new currency bloc, the European eurozone?

FIJI dollar
ß 39
   
   
After 25 years of economic stagnation, some think Fiji may disintegrate as a nation. This scenic South Pacific country is home to 332 islands has been plagued with political instability and deep-rooted ethnic divisions. In fact, three coups and three amendments to the Fijian constitution over the last 20 years alone. On May 19, 2000, political unrest struck Fiji with an attempted coup and violent hostage drama. Leaders on behalf of native indigenous Fijians had taken hostage the democratically elected government of ethnic Indian extraction, then Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry. A state of emergency was declared with widespread looting, burning, targeted violence against ethnic Indians and overall confusion. The military stepped in and stabilized the political unrest for a couple of months and removed the illegal nationalist regime that had ceized control headed by indigenous Fijian George Speight who is now serving a life sentence for his role in the coup.

A shocking story indeed, but what about the economic and social situation currently in hand within Fiji? Are better times ahead or will Fiji dissolve as a nation?

How has the Fijian dollar ‘FJD’ performed amongst all this disarray?
