[quote:Anonymous Coward 11302446:MV8yMDE4NjMwXzMzOTIzNjgyXzVFNkNDRkFC] Well the third world deserves it, because they keep hording up US dollar and Treasury shit paper which keeps its yield low, allowing the Fed to buy into the market with ease and devalue without causing too much inflation. The third world, on the other hand, cannot devalue so much because their inflation rates are too high. Hence they do not have the same privilege, even when their economy seems to be slowing down (best example: India). So Third World (i.e. China, Brazil et al, since these are the ones that matter), please do not complain. If you don't like it, dump $US paper. That simple. [/quote]
Original Message
U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said a little currency appreciation in the developing world is not a bad thing.
Speaking at the International Monetary Fund meeting in Tokyo this weekend, Bernanke urged Third World nations to allow their currency to appreciate as a means of actually preventing inflation.
"The perceived benefits of currency management inevitably come with costs, including reduced monetary independence and the consequent susceptibility to imported inflation," Bernanke said.
