With the new exchange rate Burma need the World Bank

By Kanbawza Win | April 4, 2012

After the second military coup in 1962 (first was a caretaker government in 1959) the Burmese Military Junta under Ne Win used to boast about their finances as how much exchange they have saying that the exchange rate of Kyat 6.4 to one US dollar would never depreciate. Since then it has become an unwritten law as the country economy has gone down slowly due to the dunderhead of the Generals as one Junta after another have little or no idea of what is wrong with the economy, little realizing that they themselves are the wrong persons to be in power. The people of Burma label them as Ché Brain (shit brain) just like what most MP of the USDP is today. Slowly after more than half a century theses men in uniform realized that Burma’s multiple exchange rate is the most noticeable of the maladies that have characterized the country’s economy, hence they opted for the change.
