Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

This report focuses on the economic impacts of the Asian Financial Crisis (1997-1998) on Malaysia and Australia. The report first examines Malaysia's economic performance before the crisis, highlighting its reliance on foreign direct investment (FDI) and its vulnerability to external fluctuations.

The report then delves into the Asian Financial Crisis, analyzing the loss of investor confidence in Malaysia, the resulting capital outflows, and the devaluation of the Malaysian Ringgit (RM). It explores the impact of these events on the stock market, external debt, and the overall economy.

The report then shifts focus to Australia, briefly touching upon its foreign direct investment, monetary exchange policy, and balance of payment.
