Macroeconomic Transmission Anatomy

In 1997, rigid dollar pegs gave domestic financial institutions a false sense of exchange-rate safety, leading to massive unhedged short-term foreign borrowing for high-speculation domestic real estate and industrial expansions. When Thailand's current account deficit widened to -7.9% of GDP and US interest rates rose, sudden capital stops forced central banks to burn reserves defending overvalued parities until liquidity evaporated, causing severe balance-of-payments insolvencies.
