The consequences of the rise in the price of the dollar are continuous. Now there is a shortage of essential medicines. Big pharmaceutical companies stopped importing pharmacy because they couldn’t find dollars. There is a situation where pharmacies are selling with quotas, and prices are rising. I remember this time last year when I couldn’t buy medicine because of the virus. At that time, the military council was useless, and now the military council is doing something wrong. Eighty percent of the pharmacies used in the country have to be imported, so the situation is only going to get worse.
Border trade has stopped. At the border with Thailand, the price of the baht is going up, so the traders have to stop doing nothing. It is the same at the Chinese border. Today, the dollar price is around 2,500, MMK per dollar and it is only a short way from reaching the record high price of 2,700 reached last year. The country is already heading towards the Fail State level.
