Paper Abstract: Causes & effects. Devaluation, historic bank failures & impact on international banking, currency exposure risks. Tables. Paper Introduction: BANK FAILURES AND CURRENCY CRISIS IN THE ASIAN REGION This paper is an examination of the Southeast Asia currency crisis in general and its relationship to, and possible impact on, the field of international banking (The BCCI affair..., 1992, Online; Haq, 1998). One of the primary topics to be discussed is the fact that as a business and practice, an international bank has the primary goal of measuring an economy's performance and the stability of its currency so that investors can identify investment opportunities and thereby make value-added business decisions (Tamburini, 1997, 32). Another topic addressed in this paper will be to explain and examine the reasons for the fluctuations in currency values, most of which are caused by a phenomenon caused by the currency exchange rate. Simply defined, this means the value comparison Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled.
