From the Paper:
"PROS AND CONS OF AN INDONESIAN CURRENCY BOARDArgument
For the first time in its 53-year history, the International Monetary Fund has become involved in what most observers are calling a "high stakes showdown" against the nation of Indonesia (Passell, 1998, C1). According to Passell's analysis, the showdown has been prompted by Indonesian president Suharto who has "his eye on his family's business and sees a currency board as a sure-fire way to prevent further declines in the nation's currency, the rupiah, and therefore in the family's fortunes" (Passell, 1998, C1). The issues are many, but one clear point of contention stands out. Indonesia wants a currency board, and the IMF has said that if the country does establish a currency board, that it will lose all further support of the IMF bailout funds."
