The Asian and Mexican Financial Crises

From the Paper:

"In the same way that the Asian financial crisis played out in individual markets such as South Korea, the Mexican currency crisis also began during a period when there was actually much promising economic outlook. During the 1980s the Mexican government liberalized its trade sectors and during the early 1990s had brought its inflation under control to below 10% which was good for that market. With these and other economic reforms beginning to take effect in the country, Mexico's economic prospects appeared strong."
