WHAT IS CURRENCY WAR ?????
(Hashim Ali Siddiqui, Karachi)
1...Competitive devaluation of
currency among the nations is called currency war.It is a condition in the
international affair where countries compete against each other to achieve a
relatively low exchange rate of their own currency.It results in expensive
imports.Domestic industry gets boost by using local material and its demand
internationally.Pakistan can not make use of it because we have closed our
industry due to energy crises.Price increase in imports will damage the
purchasing power of common man.General decline in trade will also harm the
nations.
2...Currency war accrued in 1930 and all countries abandoned gold standard. Now
currency in the world is not backed up by gold reserves.Now no where in the
world currency note can be replaced by the gold by any Government....See your
own currency note word GOLD do not exist....Currency note is exchanged by gold
at Goldsmith shop only not by the Government office.
3...Chines define currency war as....Bankers lend to emerging countries and then
speculate against the emerging state currency by trying to force it down in
value against the wishes of that state Government.
4...Others define as.....Efforts of a state monetary authorities to protract its
currency from forgers,simple criminals and the enemy agents of foreign
Government.This we can observe in our country. Every now and then our currency
is being devalued by the enemy agents as our financial managers could not give
any justification.
5...We need all financial matters be processed through NA and all LOANS be
presented as loans bill.Special financial laws required to counter the financial
damages to the nation.
6...Our elected leadership is not in habit of reading.They are totally ignorant
and void of financial matters knowledge.So they can not make laws to control the
financial loss to the nation.
7... Under the existing system where we do not have effective financial
policies,SOPs to fight the financial crises and financial reserves we can not
fight our currency war,,,,rather we are suckling baby to face such financial
external aggression.
8...Pl get in to the habit of reading financial matters....it is not a rocket
science and think for the better financial condition of the country......THE
ONLY PROBLEM WE HAVE ....
