	Indonesian rupiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first rupiah was introduced in 1945 in those parts of the Netherlands Indies under the control of Republic of Indonesia.
		The Riau islands and the Indonesian half of New Guinea (Irian Barat) had their own variants of the rupiah, but these were subsumed into the national rupiah in 1964 and 1971 respectively (see Riau rupiah and West New Guinea rupiah).
		Rampant inflation caused, on December 13, 1965, the new rupiah to be introduced at a rate of 1000 old rupiah to one new rupiah.

	Investment Climate
		The Indonesian government turned to the International Monetary fund in October 1997 for assistance in surmounting its economic difficulties which included a substantial depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah, rising inflation, and a collapsing banking system.
		In July 1997, the Indonesian rupiah began to weaken and Indonesia was forced to widen its trading band to 12 from 8 percent.
		The Indonesian government promulgated a new regulation in May 1998 which make it easier for labor organizations to register as trade unions, and several new unions have formed to join the Federation of All-Indonesian Trade Unions (FSPSI), which was the sole government-recognized union prior to 1998.

	Living in a Rupiah World ... using Indonesia's national currency
		Exchange rates of Indonesian Rupiah to foreign currencies fluctuate on a daily basis, however normally the fluctuation is minor.
		With the ups and downs in the value of the rupiah against foreign currencies since the beginning of the monetary crisis in 1997, you may be wise to keep your excess funds in a foreign currency, as opposed to in rupiah, changing only the amount you need into rupiah for your daily needs.
		While fortunate expats making a foreign currency salary reap the benefit of getting more rupiah for their foreign currency, all around them, the Indonesians who are paid in rupiah (the vast majority) are suffering catastrophic inflationary pressures from the increased price of goods.

		Those currencies remain in their established post-financial-crisis trading zones, while the rupiah is still far stronger than its usual benchmark of 10,000.
		From that perspective, the rupiah has merely been closing a wide value gap with the currencies of its neighbors that, at least in the case of Philippines, don't stand that far above Indonesia on the political economy hit parade.
