Abstract

There is broad agreement among economists on what triggered the financial crisis in Thailand on July 2, 1997. As Thai exports sagged, imports surged, and official reserves dwindled, the government of Thailand tried to maintain the exchange rate between the baht and the U.S. dollar at an unrealistic level. This might have been a relatively routine situation, warranting a currency devaluation and modest changes in the Thai economic policy.
