I had an argument just a while ago. The main statement was that a strong currency has to reflect a strong economy. So as long as a country is not as economically powerful as the US, it will have a hard time issuing a currency that has an exchange rate of 1:1 to the dollar.The Ghanaian cedis used to be 1:1500 which obviously reflects inflation. A year ago Ghana decided to issue a new currency which is now 1:1.097 to the dollar, which is as good as 1:1. The economy of Ghana has not changed; one currency has merely been replaced by the other. Isn't that enough to prove that a strong currency does not reflect a strong economy? Does a currency which is not suffering under inflation always have to have a strong economy with many resources to back it? Or do those two things have to be seperated?
