Preferred term

Asian financial crisis  

Definition

  • The 1997 and 1998 Asian financial crisis began in Thailand and then quickly spread to neighboring economies. The crisis began as a currency crisis when Bangkok unpegged the Thai baht from the U.S. dollar, setting off a series of currency devaluations and massive flights of capital.
