strain on the budget in 2005, and combined with indecisive monetary
policy, contributed to a run on the currency in August, prompting
the government to enact a 126% average fuel price hike in October.
The resulting inflation and interest rate hikes dampened growth
through mid-2006, while large increases in rice prices pushed
millions more people under the national poverty line. Economic
reformers introduced three policy packages in 2006 to improve the
investment climate, infrastructure, and the financial sector, but
translating them into reality has not been easy. Keys to future
growth remain internal reform, building up the confidence of
international and domestic investors, and strong global economic
growth.
