Asia’s Unresolved Economic Issues
A report on the 2000 World Business Forum at Bretton Woods
The financial crisis in Asia in mid-1997 shook the region’s economies to the core, with a number of Asian countries experiencing sharp declines in currencies, stock markets and other asset prices. The crisis exposed the weakness in Asian financial systems, and to a lesser extent, their governance. It also led to volatility in international financial markets.
Since then, however, progress has been made, but it’s been a long hard road to recovery, and many Asian countries still face challenges in moving from government-driven to market-driven economies. As affected Asian countries have been clawing their way back to stability, new business opportunities have been opening up in post-crisis Asia.
