    Most of the Other small countries currencies are pegged to hard currencies, such as USD. So the value is obviously high compared to unpegged currency.

    Therefore, having a higher value in the currency doesn't mean that country is having a good economy..

    Notwithstanding that, Sri Lanka's economy is in a sad state now...

    What's the importance of pegging?

    Currency peg is done for those currencies which are not sustainable on their own.. Good example is Maldives.. Even though Maldives have their own currency, which is Maldivan Ruifiyaa, most of the time transactions are carried out in USD, mainly due to the country's heavy reliance on tourism. Therefore, it doesn't make sense them to keep their local currency floated.

    Most of the countries on that list are predominantly depend on oil or by product of oil, which makes their functional currency as USD.

    Other side of the story is Indonesia where 1 Indonesian Rupiah is LKR 0.013. But are we saying we are in a better economic position than Indonesia? I guess no....
