Abstract

“En palabras de Bhagwati (1998), las crisis cambiarias, como los gatos, tienen muchas vidas. Los efectos de la crisis ya duran un ano y probablemente se van a prolongar por dos anos más, período que se podría ampliar si se agrava la situación del sistema financiero japonés y se devalúan las monedas en China y Brasil. ¿Por qué ocurrió esta nueva crisis? ¿Tenía algunas particularidades que no se observaron en crisis anteriores? ¿Se pueden anticipar y evitar? ¿Ponen en riesgo la economía mundial y afectan de manera importante a la economía colombiana? ¿Colocan a su vez en crisis todo el modelo de desarrollo asiático? Estas son las preguntas que pretendemos responder con este artículo. El artículo está dividido en cuatro capítulos, además de esta introducción. El capítulo II presenta brevemente las teorías existentes sobre las crisis financieras y cambiarias. En el capítulo III se explican las causas de la crisis asiática y se describen sus características y efectos de contagio. El IV resume la discusión sobre las políticas de ajuste y de reforma estructural propuestas por el FMI para la región. El último capítulo se dedica a examinar en forma más amplia los efectos internacionales de la crisis. En este se describen los impactos de la crisis sobre cuatro países latinoamericanos en 1997-1998. Se presentan las proyecciones de cuatro entidades internacionales sobre los efectos de corto y mediano plazo de la crisis asiática sobre la economía mundial y las economías latinoamericanas. Además un análisis del impacto de corto plazo de la crisis sobre la economía colombiana.”
