Editorial Reviews

This book brings together contributions from monetary policy professionals from around the globe. It evolved out of a Fall 1996 conference held in Seoul before the dramatic economic crises befell the region, but nevertheless provides readers with timely discussion of exchange rate policy, the lesser known Asian countries' experiences, the link between the role of exchange rate policies and long-term economic development, and the future of regional monetary cooperation and its effect on the world economy.
