It was evident that hyperinflation of the dong was driven by an eight billion dollar stimulus. But measures to bring the raging dong under control were immediately blocked in committee by Chairman Bah Nee Fwank.

They should have checked the urban dictionary before naming their currency.

I though that the Dong was rising.

Vietnam needs to keep their hands off the Dong.

Yesterday's move cut the mid-point of the currency's managed float range from 17,034 dong to the dollar to 17,961, while narrowing the daily trading range from 5 per cent to 3 per cent either side. The benchmark interest rate was increased from 7 per cent to 8 per cent. The Ho Chi Minh Stock Index fell 4.5 per cent.
