We use the price of gold in the currency of Rupiah, U.S. $, Euro and Yen until the last five years - because the price of gold is the gauge of the most universal and stable over time. We should be grateful that it is within 6 - 12 months past, our currency is much more powerful than the three powerful world currency is U.S. $, Euro and Yen.

This we can see that among the four currencies that our observations of its purchasing power of gold; in 6 - 12 months past the gold price in rupiah was the lowest increase. In Rupiah instead of gold price increase or minus decrease during the last 12 months.

Although we can take pride in our rupiah in the short term, but we still need to be wary of purchasing power of our money is because the 5-year medium-term course Rupiah weakest performers when compared with the three world currencies stronger yen, U.S. $ and Euro above. In the scales of gold, world gold prices increased 161% over the last five years when purchased with the Rupiah. Meanwhile, when purchased with yen, U.S. $ and Euro each only increased 125%, 157% and 150%.

What this all mean?, Because the currency represents a country's economic strength. So during the last 5 years, Japan is still the strongest economic fundamentals compared to the countries of the European Union, America and Indonesia.

We certainly hope that more of our stamina fitness and thus have the advantage of the last 6-12 months compared with countries generally have economic fundamentals are stronger than we are - can last long for years to come.
