Unidade Real De Valor
The Daily Unidade Real de Valor, or URV (Portuguese, ''Real Value Unit''), was a non-monetary reference currency (i.e., non-fiat) created in March 1994, as part of the Plano Real in Brazil. It was the most theoretically sophisticated piece of the Plano Real and was based on a previous academic work by Pérsio Arida and André Lara Resende, the "Larida Plan", published in 1984. Its main purpose was to establish a parallel currency to the cruzeiro real, free from the effects of inertial inflation on the latter, which exceeded 1,200% per year prior to the implementation of the new currency, the real. It was conceived as a temporary instrument to break up the "psychological inertia" that had ingrained in the Brazilian mindset and which caused prices to keep rising as a consequence of ''subjective'' estimation of inflation or ''preemptive adjustment'' without cost assessment. These phenomena are among the chief characteristics of hyperinflation, resulting from the erosion of confidenc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
