Global Economic Prospects 1998 Workshop: The Aftermath of the Asian Crisis
Washington D.C., USA
May 13-14, 1998
Partners
Overview
The 1997 financial crisis was the result of the interaction of a number of problems. Its origins lay in the mismanagement of macro-economic policy. The challenges to policy were increased by the removal of barriers to international capital and by a long boom which in its late stages encouraged unrealistic views about the variance of economic growth in the region. The role of global institutions, and in particular the IMF, in the response to the East Asian crisis has been pervasive. It was against this backdrop that we met in Washington DC to discuss the global prospects of developing countries in crisis. This conference attempted to understand how the international monetary system could better deal with such crises more successfully.
