In the second half of 1997, Western banks experienced positive returns. In contrast East Asian bank indices incurred losses in excess of 60% in each of the crisis countries. Most of this poor performance is explained by the exposure of the banks to general stock market movements in their countries. Currency exposures affected banks adversely beyond their stock market impact only in Indonesia and the Philippines. Except for the Korean program, IMF programs had little effect on bank values. The announcement of the Korean program increased shareholder wealth at the U.S. banks with the highest reported exposure in Korea by about 7% and had a favorable effect on bank shareholder wealth in all the countries in our sample but one. There is no evidence that the Korean IMF program had a positive impact on banks without exposure to Korea and hence our results do not support the argument that such programs reduce systemic risk.   2371 visits has been made through our site.   Korea and the Asian Financial Crisis   URL: http://www.stanford.edu/class/e297c/trade_environment/global/hkorea.html   It is an article written by Krishna Gidwani.

Why and how do such crises materialize? And why not the private sector take appropriate precautions to avoid the consequences of crises? In this paper, the authors argue that the combination of weak international financial links and underdeveloped domestic financial markets offers a parsimonious account of these and related phenomena present in emerging markets.   1192 visits has been made through our site.   Megastories-Asia's economic crisis   URL: http://www.megastories.com/seasia/   Articles about Asia's economic crisis.   1170 visits has been made through our site.   The Asian Financial Crisis-Public Seminar   URL: http://www.adbi.org/archive/es/ares980428.htm   "The Asian Financial Crisis" Public Seminar is organized by the Asian Development Bank Institute and the Asian Development Bank, in cooperation with the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva.
