The case study of Yugoslavia, now known as Serbia and Montenegro provide a valuable lesson and reminder to the reader why it is so very important to understand the soundness of currencies.

No better example of this collapse in economic confidence then what happened in Serbia and Montenegro.

Over the last 15 years, ill-flawed and misguided political leadership destroyed the Yugoslav dinar and their born again new currencies several times. Hyperinflations, wars, ethnic cleansing to name just a few led to an insolvent banking system and economic malaise.

Nestled far away in the South Pacific 1,200 miles northeast of Australia lies the tropical paradise of the Solomon Islands home to 992 islands with a population of 538,000. Many readers may have heard about the main island of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands for the fierce and bloody battles of World War II that took place. Also, of historical importance is the fact the waters off of Guadalcanal is home to former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s PT patrol boat that was sliced into two pieces by a Japanese cruiser during this war. Flash forward 60 years to the present and the Solomon Islands are again finding itself at times in the midst of conflict, but this time a domestic battle.

Sri Lanka’s economy and national currency, the rupee ‘LKR’ have been held back financially due to a 20-year bloody civil war that has claimed over 60,000 lives. Recent peace talks and a cease-fire implemented in early 2002 create hope for resolve of Sri Lanka’s power and ethnic divide. The war has tarnished Sri Lanka’s image resulting in reduced foreign investment and lower tourist arrivals particularly with television images of suicide bombers at Sri Lanka’s only international airport in Colombo destroying 13 aircraft in 2001.

Does a peace dividend await Sri Lanka?

Sudan located in northeast Africa is Africa’s largest geographical country but it is also home to some of the continent’s biggest problems with many Sudanese trying to escape poverty as the majority live below the poverty line coupled with regional famine and civil domestic conflict within Sudan. It is this continual civil war since 1983 between the northern Muslim Arabs (39 percent of population) and the black Christian & animist south (52 percent black) that has dominated the political landscape for Sudan. In addition, other regional and ethnic tensions remain prevalent within western Sudan where instability has taken hold.

Sweden is a modern industrialized export oriented economy that is home to one of the world’s most extensive cradle to grave social welfare state systems. Has their generous welfare system come at a cost? In 1970, Sweden’s GDP/Capita was ranked number four in the world compared to present day ranking of seventeen. Over the last 30 years, Sweden has at times experienced turbulent currency pressures with volatility particularly during the 1970-80’s and later in 1992. The next phase in Sweden’s currency progress was entrance into the European Union in 1995 and the corresponding national referendum for YES/NO for adopting the euro as new national currency.

TAIWAN new Taiwan dollar (TWD)
77 à
   
   
The new Taiwan dollar has performed well over the last 10 years in terms of global purchasing power parity, but the key question is, what about the next 10 years?

Throughout the 1990’s, Taiwan exploited markets in the United States to great prosperity for Taiwanese exports of semiconductors, chips and other electronic products. Tawain has accordingly flourished with immense foreign exchange earnings and has one of the strongest credit ratings in all of Asia with a sound currency. However, continued strong export markets should never be taken for granted particularly in a world now with low cost manufacturing centres and great competition from new countries wanting in on the hi-tech electronic boom. With the United States at the crest of its spending with a debt laden consumer coupled with political tensions with mainland China’s show of military force in the straits of Taiwan, where and how will Taiwan be able to swim to safer waters to mitigate these turbulent currency exchange pressures?

The Kingdom of Thailand has had a long history as a nation going back to the mid 14th century (formerly known as Siam). Today, the country is vibrant and rebounding smartly from devastating shocks including a major tsunami and a late 1990’s financial crisis. The nation’s currency, the ‘Thai baht’ has stabilized since the currency crash that enveloped through much of Southeast Asia during 1997-98. During this currency crisis, the baht then lost half its value in weeks with the exchange rate collapsing to 56 THB to 1 US-dollar (USD) resulting in one of the world’s worst performing currencies during this time. Conversely, Thailand in year 2005 is enjoying relative currency stability.

TURKEY lira

Modern Turkey founding in year 1923 on the Ottoman Empire’s ruins by Kemal Ataturk. He had a secular, Europe-oriented vision that rejected what he considered a backward Muslim world. The Turkey military has protected this philosophical outlook ‘secularism’ since year 1923. In the decades that followed, Turkey’s political framework has been fragmented, and quite often political instability has taken hold. The economy has been volatile, and the national currency, the Turkish lira was well known for its consistent yearly depreciation in value to hard currencies.

In February 2001, the floor fell out from the lira as political chaos and investor confidence in the Turkey banking system collapsed. The lira accordingly crashed in value. Over the next 2 years, the economy experienced its worst recession since World War II. By 2005, the economy has recovered and the currency stabilized.

Ironically, Turkey which is 99 percent Muslim on a population total of 72 million (2008) has tremendous potential and parts of the economy do show positive performance. What’s next for Turkey and its currency, the lira?

URUGUAY uruguayo peso (UYU)

The Uruguayan peso crashed in year 2002 by falling 50 percent in value versus the US-dollar (USD). This development is most surprising for this small South American country as its historically sound banking system has given Uruguay the reputation of ‘Switzerland of South America’. What happened to cause the Uruguayan economy to shatter with social unrest and banking failures?

For the most part, Uruguay's small economy is dominated by its two neighboring giants, Argentina and Brazil. In late 2001, Argentina was in the midst of an economic implosion and finally had to float the Argentinean peso which immediately collapsed 75 percent in value in relation to the USD. Adding to these pressures was the economic slowdown in Brazil coupled with its own devaluation of the 'real' in early 1999. Water seeks its own level, it was these external pressures that brought Uruguay to its knees financially in 2002.

Vietnam has had a very long history of being conquered and fighting wars with much conflict. Finally, it appears that Vietnam today is laying the foundation for a prosperous and peaceful future. Change is happening at a tremendous rate in Vietnam. This war-torn Southeast Asian country is undergoing a generational shift towards the young as the national demographics reveal that the majority of Vietnamese have no recollection or connection to its violent past including the Vietnam War from 1957 to 1975 (or the American War as the Vietnamese eloquently state). The economy for a long time was held back due to its costly war with America, the collapse of central planning and loss of economic subsidies from the former Soviet Union.

How is the dong performed amongst this great change from central state economic planning to a socialist market economy?

In 1986, the Vietnamese government based in the capital city of Hanoi began ‘doi moi’ also known as economic renewal in order to build what was largely at the time an agrarian economy and still is for the most part with 54 percent of the population earning their livelihood in agriculture.
