	East Asian financial crisis Summary
		The story of Asian currencies recently has been the story of the decline and fall or near-fall of the Asian "tigers," but their problems are by no means unique to them, and the recent crisis may be just the first of many.
		Though called the "East Asian" crisis because it originated in East Asia, its effects rippled throughout the globe and caused a global financial crisis, with major effects felt as widely as Russia, Brazil, and the United States.
		The crisis in general was part of a global backlash against the Washington Consensus and institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, which simultaneously became unpopular in developed countries following the rise of the anti-globalization movement in 1999.

		These were a lack of transparency, which made the investors and economical agents assume an Asian financial stability, and mislead structural and economic policies, which did not attempt to solve deficits in the balance of payments and debt tribulations.
		The four proposals are: tax for outflow of shot-term capital, a fixed spread for the financial institutions that will apply only in the short term, a dirty exchange rate that will apply only the short term as well and an improvement of financial transparency.
		As it was mentioned before, the Asian financial market showed a lack of transparency, for example it has long been known that financial intermediaries whose liabilities are guaranteed by the government pose a serious problem of moral hazard.

	Finance & Development, September 1999 - The Asian Financial Crisis: What Have We Learned?
		The Asian financial crisis, which spread from Thailand to other countries in the region during the second half of 1997, plunged the countries affected into deep recessions that brought rising unemployment, poverty, and social dislocation.
		The crisis raises a number of important issues for the international financial system, many of which are related to the development of a new international financial architecture.
		At the height of the Asian crisis, some unpleasant information was revealed—in particular, on the weaknesses of central banks' international reserve positions—that exacerbated market panic; it would have been much better if such information had instead been revealed earlier on, when it might have restrained the heady inflows of capital.

	CRS Report: THE 1997-98 ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS
		The fourth reason that the Asian financial crisis is of interest to the United States is that the turmoil affects U.S. imports and exports as well as capital flows and the value of the U.S. dollar.
		For example, prior to the financial crisis in Thailand, even though the IMF might have warned the country that it was headed for trouble, it was difficult for the Thai leaders to muster the political support to restructure the 58 financial institutions that eventually became insolvent.
		In the Asian countries, the immediate effect of the change in the value of their currencies and outflows of capital is to reduce their trade deficits, and, in some cases, to generate a trade surplus.

	Asian Crisis
		Derivatives played an unprecedented key role in the Asian financial crisis of 1997, alongside the growth of fund flows to Asian newly industrialized economies, as part of financial globalization in unregulated world foreign exchange, capital and debt markets.
		Most Asian countries hit hard by the 1997-98 monetary crisis are deluding themselves if they think they have responded properly and effectively to the devastation of their economies.
		With the effects from the Asian financial crisis lingering and the weakening of the US economy, Asia and the rest of the world are nervously awaiting a resurgence of US demand.

	The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 - 1998
		Secondly, using Price/Earnings and Price/Book ratios it is shown that Asian stock markets were not “overvalued” before the crisis started; thus suggesting that the crisis was not the result of a bursting bubble that some authors such as Krugman have argued.
		Shown was that the severe downturn of the Asian stock markets during the financial crisis can be associated with the currency devaluations of the five countries whose currencies experienced the sharpest depreciations during the crises, especially in the case of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand.
		When the evolution of South East Asian stock markets prior to the crisis was analyzed there was no evidence found of a clear pattern of stock markets collapsing in a contagious fashion before the first round of devaluations took place in July, 1997 as Krugman (1998) suggested was the case.

	The Social Impacts of Asian Financial Crisis
		As the crisis unfolded, it became manifest that the existing social welfare systems in the crisis-hit Asian countries were absolutely deficient in covering the needs of the sufferers.
		This pattern arises because the burden of the crisis tends to be distributed unequally.
		International partnership among the affected Asian countries, advanced countries, and international institutions is essential in overcoming the current economic and social disaster, in preventing it from spreading to the world, and in ensuring stability in the global capitalist system.

		Though called the "East Asian" crisis because it originated in East Asia, its effects rippled throughout the globe and caused a global financial crisis, with major effects felt as widely as Russia and Brazil, as investors lost confidence in emerging markets.

	Asian Financial Crisis
		In response to the financial crisis in Asia, the Campaign for America’s Future held a forum on Capitol Hill in December to explore the issue and educate congressional aides.
		In cause and in effect, this is not an Asian crisis.

	IMF's Role in the Asian Financial Crisis
		Many of the same institutions and people who recently celebrated the Asian "tigers" as the engine of world growth into the 21st century now speak of them as a source of financial contagion, or, as the trigger for global deflation.
		The main lesson to be learned from the Asian financial crisis, critics of the IMF contend, is that there is an urgent need to reverse current practices and re-regulate global capital flows.
		However, even before the Asian financial crises, the IMF already had plans for a total capital increase of $90 billion that would be drawn mainly from the G-7 countries.

	The Asian Financial Crisis
		What the world financial community did not know at this point, was that with the blessing of his superiors, a foreign exchange trader at the Thai central bank had locked up most of Thailand’s foreign exchange reserves in forward contracts.
		The Asian financial crisis has been the biggest test for the IMF since the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, and perhaps the biggest test since the institution was founded in 1944 (see Chapter 10 for details).
		To the extent that the crisis gives Asian countries an incentive to reform their economic systems, and to initiate some much need restructuring, they may emerge from the experience not weaker, but stronger institutions and a greater ability to attain sustainable economic growth.

	IP: THE ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS----HOW AND WHY IT HAPPENED (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		THE ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS----HOW AND WHY IT HAPPENED The Crisis in Southeast Asia It was only yesterday when we talked about the "Asian economic miracle." But, as if a big earthquake suddenly hit that region, it's now all gone and replaced by turmoil, confusion, and hardship in many of the Asian economies.
		What is now known as the "Asian financial crisis" started in early July, 1997, when Thailand had to devalue its currency, the baht, about 20% against the US dollar, as a result of intense pressure in the foreign exchange market.
		As a result, their financial system as a whole became so vulnerable, and once it was attacked by speculators, there was a massive outflow of short-term capital from the system, leading to the market overreaction.
