The Asean And The Private Sector

Managing a Bank crisis is one of the most difficult tasks of a regulator. Banks and financial institutions had to take counter measures in order to survive and remain competitive. Efficient regulatory framework identifies the benefits of a sustainable financial system. It helps the organizations to work efficiently, objectively and the country will have transparent markets. Regulatory system is open minded to the needs of investors when implementing directions to curtail regulations for certain types investment related products and services. It also maintains accountability with respect to market participants and policy makers.

In 2008, the world experienced a tremendous financial crisis which rooted from the U.S housing market; moreover, it is considered by many economists as one of the worst recession since the Great Depression in 1930s. After posing a huge effect on the U.S economy, the financial crisis expanded to Europe and the rest of the world. It brought governments down, ruined economies, crumble financial corporations and impoverish individual lives. For example, the financial crisis has resulted in the collapse of massive financial institutions such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brother and AIG. These collapses not only influence own countries but also international area. Hence, the intervention of governments by changing and

The early 1990s exhibited a boom in many economies throughout the world due to factors such as globalization and other trade liberalization practices, but this boom was quickly halted in the latter half of the decade when bad investments nearly sent the entire world into economic turmoil. With the introduction of free trade practices such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, the economies of many of the worlds “developing countries” skyrocketed due to an influx of foreign investment. At, first this exponential boom in small countries with emerging economies seemed like it would never end. However, this all changed when investors “caught wind” that these developing countries did not have the means to keep up with the massive inflow of investments. This led to what we know refer to today as the Asian Financial Credit Crisis. In order to understand how to prevent such a disaster from happening again, we must first examine how exactly this event was triggered, and what should have been done differently.

In 1997 the country’s exports were no longer booming and the Thai economy entered a unsafe and unpredictable phase. Foreign investors were skeptical about the current-account deficit and the big loans property developers. Bad debt continued to mount up and the stock market crashed to depths not seen in eight years. This caused the baht to fall prey to speculative attack. High debt, heavy borrowing, large current account deficit, and the semi-fixed exchange rate system all played a part to the Thai crisis.

The most recent financial crisis of 2007 was felt throughout the world, and brought about huge economic consequences that are still being felt to this day. Within the United States, the crisis undoubtedly resulted in a surge in poverty and unemployment, a significant drop in consumption, and the loss of trust in the capitalist economic system. Because of globalization, this crisis was felt through the intertwined global markets, affecting underdeveloped countries even more. Historical events from the past have taught us that financial crises such as the one we suffered during 2007 have occurred a vast number of times. From Mexico to Thailand, these financial crises have resulted in contagion worldwide, and have caused governments to

The East Asian crisis does not only show the danger of rapidly liberalizing capital markets but that its results may be severely damaging for the economy.

Governments had to come up with some solutions in order to further avert the decline of their country 's economy as the financial crises of the United States overflowed into the global financial and world economy. (Marshall, n.d).This paper discusses the history of the financial crisis - its causes, impacts, and the responses of governments and other institutions.

During the last decade, the world saw some of the most severe economic shocks and crises since The Great Depression of the late 1920’s. The crises of Mexico in 1994, Russia in 1995, Asian countries in 1997 and even recently in Latin America in 2000 have shown us that the economic shocks have a very drastic and crippling effect on the stricken countries. Rapid capital outflow; firms and banks overwhelm by bad debts; inability to provide loans; bank closures due to sudden capital losses and devaluation of the home currency, all have struck the affected countries simultaneously that their central banks did not have enough sufficient reserves to protect themselves. The realization of the

The recent economic crisis of 2008-2009 that started in United States of America rapidly spread around the world due to the integration of the financial markets and the simplicity for investors to move throughout such markets. Therefore, countries had to deal with the economic effects of said crisis from a macroeconomic and regulatory perspective .

The term Global Financial Crisis (GFC) refers to the financial crisis of 2008-2009 that, according to leading economists, is the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression (Eigner, 2015). The crisis began in 2007 due to a mortgage market failure in the United States and in the following year, with the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment bank, advanced into an international banking crisis, which then developed into a global economic crisis, The Great Recession (Williams, 2010). This essay will conclude that that due to private sector financial management, government regulations and legislation and deregulation were at the root cause of the crisis and give explanations surrounding this criteria. To gain a detailed understanding

Globalization has become one of the most influential forces in the twentieth century. International integration of world views, products, trade and ideas has caused a variety of states to blur the lines of their borders and be open to an international perspective. The merger of the Europeans Union, the ASEAN group in the Pacific and NAFTA in North America is reflective of the notion of globalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement was the largest free trade zone in the world at its conception and set an example for the future of liberalized trade. The North American Free Trade Agreement is coming into it's twentieth anniversary on January 1st, 2014. 1 NAFTA not only sought to enhance the trade of goods and services across

On the other side, establishing capital market liberalization (pp. 44-46) was a mistake. Lastly, the IMF’s answers to the majority of economic crises, such as the one that laid waste to East Asia (pp. 89) had negative outcomes, deteriorating the conditions in these territories. In particular, raising the interest rates and enforcing financial austerity were burdens for the continent’s economic growth. In order to prove his points, the economist explains that China, India and Malaysia, the two first countries being spared by the studied crisis and the latter having known a quick recovery by ignoring the IMF’s advice.

Asia in general was not affected by the current global financial crisis (1). The source of the crisis did not come from the developing countries as seen in the 1990s during the Asian crisis. In 2008 - 2009, the developed world initiated the global financial crisis with the sub prime lending implosion; thus, affected the rest of the world. The Philippines in particular did not fall into a recession since the banks were not exposed to toxic assets as seen in the European banks and other developed world. Despite the disaster in the world trade and credit markets affecting trade in the Philippines, the large volume of remittances from overseas

ASEAN was officially founded in August 1967 when five founding member states jointly signed the Bangkok declaration. Since then ASEAN experienced number of threats, such as security threat in cold war, economic and financial threat in 1997 East Asia Economic crisis, and now being in the security dilemma between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, prominent major powers attempting to dominate the region, despite all the threat, ASEAN set its goal to become a community in December 2015 which has lot of potential to contribute to the world stage but it also has countless number of challenges, mainly caused by its diversities, nationalism and lack of
