This book empirically examines banking reform in the economies of
Southeast Asia as they sought to adapt to major developments in the
global economic system over the past three decades, including the
globalisation of finance, the debt crisis of the 1980s and the
1997-1998 Asian financial crisis. Focusing in particular on the
turbulent decade of financial boom and bust from 1994 to 2004, it
explores the ways in which states respond to powerful external
shocks and the implications for policy choices, demonstrating how
different political systems shape economic performance and policy
choices. It sets out a detailed comparative analysis of the
experiences of the five major regional economies, Malaysia,
Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, considering how
banking reform responded to the challenges posed by global economic
integration. The countries least affected by the crisis, Singapore
and the Philippines, used the crisis effectively to further
liberalise long-protected domestic banking sectors. The countries
the most affected by the crisis, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia,
all resisted external pressure to liberalise their protected
banking sectors even when they experienced changes in leadership.
In all five cases, the nature of the political system and their
previous commitment to nationalist banking policies, more than the
depth of the crisis or extent of foreign pressure, was the key
determining factor in their crisis response and in the post-crisis
changes to banking policy that are still playing out today.
