Sankar, anyone with thoughts on the topic- There is discussion now on the establishment of a currency board in Indonesia. How likely that this will actually happen? What are some of the considerations in establishing the rupiah/dollar relationship? Would this relationship be fixed- as it is with Argentina or could it include a creeping adjustment (similar to Brazil)? Would 5000 rupiah/dollar be a feasible and sustainable level to set the exchange rate, given the current level , slightly below 10,000? It seems that a 5000 level, if it could be sustained, could solve much of the current crisis and restore a degree of confidence without hurting competitive position. Thanks for any comments Tony
