Vietnam sets 18 to dollar piaster devaluation to curb inflation
South Vietnam announced a sweeping monetary devaluation pegging the piaster at 18 to the dollar effective Monday. The move, urged by the United States, aims to dry up piaster supply, curb inflation, and attack the black market while funding a broad reform program including higher civil service wages and broader currency liberalization. The plan broadens government revenue as prices for goods and essential farm equipment are expected to rise.
