Research Abstract |
This study has examined the progress of financial reforms in East Asia after the crisis of 1997-98. It has shown that more flexible exchange rates and prudent financial systems have made Asian economies less vulnerable to external shocks. It has also shown that China's exchange rate system remains rigid, preventing macroeconomic adjustments necessary for the resolution of global imbalances. In addition, the study has discussed the significance and limitation of East Asian financial cooperation from the perspectives of macroeconomic adjustments and financial stability in the region.
