Why dollar is weakness and Kip is inflation? This my openion, don't worry about the dollar is weakeness and Laos needs more dollars then Thai Baht because the whole world recognized that dollar is international currency and you can buy anything in the world with US. currency. Not Thai Baht. If Laos Central Bank can control inflation in KIP with DOLLAR, this idea make $KIP weaker than $Dollars is very good idea because Laos needs dollars to inject or flow into Lao economic and keep Laos $KIP stronger again Thai baht and back up by gold. So that Laos $KIP will not inflation and keeps value the same each year. What do think?
