Post-Crisis Experience
The impact of the crisis was fully felt in 1998 when all the
crisis countries and most other countries had negative or
very small rates of positive growth.
PRC and Taiwan were the only exceptions.
Equity prices also fell across the region in 1998.
Post-Crisis Experience
Beginning in 1999, there has been a recovery in growth
and equity markets.
This recovery has been accompanied by a significant
amount of industrial and financial restructuring.
Many countries suffered from a high level of NonPerforming Loans (NPLs).
Post-Crisis Experience
To deal with these NPLs, the most affected countries
created separate agencies to deal with them. These
Asset Management Companies (AMCs) have taken
many of the bad loans and negotiated their liquidation.
Post-Crisis Experience
Thailand and Indonesia have been only moderately
successful while in the Philippines, the level of NPLs,
though small during the crisis, has crept up in recent
years.
