One always has to look below the surface. I really have no logical explanation for the opposition to the currency board, since a stronger Rupiah would seem to make it more likely that foreigners get paid. Only two possibilities I can think of: 1. The IMF is actually telling the truth. Indo isn't ready for a currency board. Which will lead to huge borrowing costs, which will lead to too many bankruptcies before the foreigners get a chance to restructure their debt. 2. Less likely: the ANOTHER conspiracy scenario. The Asian currencies must remain weak, or else they buy too much gold, which will eventually expose a physical shortage, which will cause POG to skyrocket, which will cause oil to skyrocket, which results in a depression of sorts.
