Scenarios about 'Asian Financial Crisis'

The Asian Financial Crisis refers to the severe economic downturn that affected much of East and Southeast Asia beginning in 1997, triggered by Thailand's decision to float its currency. The crisis spread rapidly through collapsing currencies, stock markets, and asset prices, exposing structural weaknesses in financial systems and leading to IMF interventions across the region. Its aftermath reshaped economic policies throughout Asia, prompting greater financial regulation, currency reserve accumulation, and regional cooperation mechanisms designed to prevent similar future crises.
