Liberalization, Growth and the Asian Financial Crisis: Lessons for Developing and Transitional Economies in Asia

By Mohamed Ariff and Ahmed M. Khalid

This book examines the effects of financial liberalization of the more advanced economies in Southeast Asia and analyzes the degree to which emerging and transitional economies in East and South Asia can benefit from this example. The weakness of the banking sector is examined in order to explain the reasons behind the currency crisis and to prescribe policies to avoid a similar episode in the future.
