Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, generally, the cause of the crisis can be narrowed down to government and banking financial policies at the time of the crisis, which were trying to develop foreign exchange currency strength in the face of insurmountable internal weaknesses. The author points out that the effects of the economic problems of the troubled Asian countries adversely affected the whole world, especially the United States and Japan. The paper stresses that it is very hard it to predict the financial future in terms of economic crisis, no matter how obvious the signs seem in retrospect.

From the Paper:

"As mentioned, the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 can be compared in many ways to the 1989 Japanese Stock Market situation, which in turn bore some similarities to the 1929 crash in America, in that banks did not respond appropriately and raised interest rates or kept them the same instead of cutting them, in the fear that decreasing interest would only feed more speculation. The result was similarly a disaster. The banks of Japan essentially burst the speculative bubble themselves after increasing deregulation along with a dearth of experience had created new paradigms for them with which they were not prepared to deal."
