ASIAN CURRENCY WATCH Vietnam's Dong Gone Wild

Category: Tourism, Posted:24 Feb 2010 | 06:00 am

Analysts say another devaluation may take place and it's possible the dong exchange rate to the USD could reach VND 20,000. Hyper inflation remains a key driver in the developing economy.
For most international hotels and premium grade property in Vietnam developers and owners continue to quote rates in USD as a hedge against devaluation.
Here in Thailand the baht has continued to appreciate, while many of the global markets could continue to capitulate over concerns on a possible economic crisis for the Euro back of Greece's loan defaults.
