During economic downtime, investors flock to USD and Yen for shelter; that's why everyone else (including Euro and Pound) sink in relativity. Don't worry; the rain will eventually stop, and when it does other currencies will be buoyant again. Singapore is built on an incredibly strong social and economic foundation; the ongoing financial crisis hits financial centers across the globe particularly hard, that's all. The downpour will stop, eventually!

Some say that global economy will recover around 2010-2Q while others contend that even such an estimate is optimistic. The current financial crisis is unprecedented both in its nature and scope; hence, an honest answer to your question is: we don’t really know.

On the flip side, let’s focus on stuff that money can’t buy anyway: time, health, family, friendship, love, knowledge & skills, credential/credibility and so forth. The recession is global, and we are all in this together, everyone. “Be” the largest umbrella you are inspired to be and shelter the person next to you. The Sun will still rise tomorrow morning and 10 years from now we will all proudly tell our buddies/kids that “Hey, I went through that crazy storm stronger than ever!”

Oops, sorry for inadvertently occupying the airtime.

exchange rate for your country currency should be better what?

platensimycin said...

More "investor confidence" (purchase) results in higher exchange rate and vice versa. High exchange rate isn't always a good thing though; it impedes export.

Please feel free to email me if there's any more related questions. Cheer!
