Answer to Question 1

Overvalued exchange rates made it easier for targeted industries to buy imported capital goods and kept urban workers more allied with political leaders because foreign goods were relatively less expensive. It made it difficult to export, especially for the traditional commodity producers, which hurt investment and income in rural areas. Non-targeted industries lost sales and production. Industrial investment was too capital intensive and unable to create jobs fast enough to absorb labor leaving rural areas.
